This blog provides an overview of how a report is created in Microsoft Dynamics 365/NAV and how to publish it to the client. It also discusses how to build a report in the SQL Server Report Builder.

1. Developers will know that you need to configure the app.json and launch.json. Set up all the basic settings that are required in launch.json.
   Figure 1 – Basic settings in launch.json in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV

Note: You always need to verify some basic configurations like name and the ServerInstance and the startupObjectId.

2. Once the configuration is completed and the symbols are downloaded, remove the “HelloWorld.al” file and then create the Report file, as shown in the example in Figure 2.
   Figure 2 – Creating a report file in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV
3. Once the report coding is done, either go to the “View>>Command Pallet” or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P.
   Figure 3 – View⇒Command Pallet in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV
4. Once the report is created, publish it. You will see all the changes, as in Figure 4.
   Figure 4 – Report with changes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV
5. Once you publish the report programming file, you see a new file created. If you open that new file, you would see that it would be difficult to read the entire file.
6. Reveal the file in the explorer by right-clicking over myreportcustomer.rdl and then selecting “Reveal” in explorer.
   Figure 5 – A new file created in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV
   Figure 6 – File revealed in the explorer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV

Once you open the file, you are in the new window of the Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder. The next step goes into table designing and layout of the table. This is also where a personalization can be made for a customer.

Following are the components of the Report Builder that are involved in report design:

Note: In this example, basic changes are demonstrated with personalization as per standard requirements of a customer.

11. Once the customizatom is completed, save the report and open visual studio. Create the page extensions so that they will be visible on the web client. You can also add a button wherever you want to place it.
    Figure 14 – Using visual studio to create page extensions that will be visible in the web client in the Report Builder in Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV
