To know which version of MS Dynamics you are using-
Click
on Help and select ‘about Microsoft dynamics NAV development environment’
A window appears which shows the latest version you have
been upgraded and the product is licensed to Microsoft and some more information.
Difference b/w version and version list in MS Dynamics NAV
Version
|
Version List
|
It
displays the latest version i.e. being used in MS Dynamics NAV
(upgraded
version)
|
It displays
the version of various objects which were added some extra features. It
differs from 1 object to another or from 1 field to another.
|
It shows
licensed information
|
It doesn’t
show any such things
|
We can’t
edit in version window
|
We can
edit in version list column
|
It is used
to know the details of which version we’re using
|
It used
mainly to update the changed information.
Ex. Suppose
developer ‘A’ will change a customer table and move to some other project
after few months. To know which table the developer modified we edit version
list column.
(if the
version list of column is 12345.34,
we edit it has name,12345.34. So
that we will come to know who actually modified which column)
|
Some
rules to be followed while changing field id or table id
Suppose we are modifying any existing table i.e. created by Microsoft
then the field no. of that existing table should be between 50,000 to 99,999 disagreeing
this will lead to compile time error.
Suppose we are creating any new table then the table id
should be assigned the no. b/w 50,000 to 99,999 disagreeing leads to CTE. If we’ve created a new table then that field
no. can take any no > 0. To know more about this id go through
architecture of NAV.
Do’s
and Don’ts while working on NAV IDE
·
Don’t compile and save if you have not did any
changes on objects.
·
If you save and compile without any changes then
there will be a check mark on the modified screen. Other developers will get
confused and waste their time by also reviewing this unchanged saved object.
(instead just escape if you are not changing any fields)
·
All the table name, field name and word after
space should begin with capital letter.
Locked
and Unlocked
When several developers use the same database then it’s
better to lock and work by particular developer so that no one except him can
edit or modify or save. Others can only view the locked content but cannot
modify.
Only the locked developer can unlock. If there’s any case to
unlock when the locked developer is not available then you can choose forced
unlock option.
Import
and export to and from the file.
Import means uploading any file
from drive to nav software.
Export means saving a file from
nav software to drive.
Extensions
used in dynamics NAV
License file is stored as .flf
In 2009 native db was saved as
(.fdb) now in 2015 its no more used.
Objects are saved as .fob
Note: Its better to save any
object you are using both in .fob and
.txt format.
Toggle
mark
Sometime there arises a case to
save 3 or more object elements to a single file we do this by using toggle mark
(to select object elements we need to save), go to view click marked only and
click all button below objects window then select all and save to your desired
location.
Difference
b/w upload and change in license information
Change will only affect table
or any other objects but changes are not made at role tailored client.
Upload will do changes both on objects
elements and also on role tailored client.
Know More-
Option
- It
will show some information, path where we’re saving etc.
Autolock
- will
automatically lock your data’s so that it cannot be modified by anyone.
Prevent
data loss from table - you cannot delete any fields which you
created.
