Building the report layout


In the RoleTailored client reports are based on SQL Reporting Services. These reports are still built within NAV, but they are translated into a layout that can be read by Visual Studio. This recipe will show you how to build and change this layout.

How to do it...

  1. Create a report as described in the Using the report generation wizard recipe.

  2. Click on Tools | Create Layout Suggestion.

  3. After a few seconds it will open in Visual Studio.

  4. We could change things around here, but we will leave it as is. Compile, save, and close the report layout.

  5. When running the report you will be presented with the request page.

  6. After you click on Preview you will see the report generate. It should look similar to the one shown in the following screenshot:

How it works...

NAV will do its best to automatically translate your report layout to one that is compatible with SQL Reporting Services and Visual Studio. This is done using the Create Layout Suggestion command under the Tools menu.
