Chapter 3. Creating Role Tailored Reports
When Dynamics NAV 2009 (version 6) was finally released it came with the possibility for reports to have a different layout in the Role Tailored client than in the Classic client. This new layout differs from the 'old' classic layout in many ways. The technology behind the scenes of this new layout comes from SQL Server Reporting Services. For this reason many people, whitepapers, and manuals, call it the Reporting Services Layout, but actually, this is not correct. There's a difference between the layout used in Dynamics NAV 2009, which I will call the enhanced layout, and the report definition language used in SQL Server Reporting Services. This is what I will begin by explaining in the first section of this chapter.
After that I will give you an overview of Visual Studio and the development of these enhanced reports. We will start with a simple report, like we did in the previous chapter. Then, we will dive into more technical details as we move...
