Learn by experimentation
One of the most important learning tools available is experimentation. Report development is one area where experimentation will be extremely valuable. We need to know which report layouts, control settings, and field formats work well and which do not. The best way to find out is by experimentation.
Create a variety of test reports, beginning with the very simple and getting progressively more complex. Document what you learn as you make discoveries. You will end up with your own personal Report Development Help documentation. Once we've created a number of simple reports from scratch, we should modify the test copies of some of the standard reports that are part of the NAV system.
We must always make sure that we are working on test copies, not the originals!
Some reports will be relatively easy to understand, others that are very complex will be difficult to understand. The more we test, the better we will be able to determine which standard NAV report...
