Dynamics NAV page types and where they are used

Hello there. As a beginner, you get in scenarios where you don't know which page type is used where and when. There are a number of page types in NAV. I will introduce them to you. You may take time to further your knowledge about them. The web has tremendous information about them already.
Types of pages

 For example customer card(page 21). Used to display and edit a single record at a time

• List Page

Displays records as a list. Doesn't allow editing directly from the list eg Customer List Page (22)

• CardPart Page

Usually used in a factbox. Shows a record in a factbox Area(Page 9080) Sells Hist. Sell-to FactBox

• ListPart Page

 Used to display a list of records in a factbox area

• Document Page

Its a page for displaying and edit records. It usually has a page embedded in another page eg Sales Order page(42)

• ListPlus 

Similar to the Document Page but its un editable

• Navigation page

It defines  and displays a Navigation Pane, Clues, and control actions for these clues. eg Acc. Payables Coordinator RC page(9002)

Designing Pages CSIDE

Hello there. I found designing actions to appear on the ribbon in the right place a night mare the first time i worked with pages. Let me give you a simple tip. It all depends on which options you select as Type, and Sub type.
Related information (Sub Type) >> All actions will appear under Navigate tab on the ribbon
New Documents (Sub Type)     >> All actions will appear under Actions Tab on the ribbon
Action Items  (Sub type)           >> All actions will appear under Actions tab in the ribbon
Reports  (Sub type)                    >> All actions appear under report tab

For example go to Customer List page (21) Design it and view page actions.

Table Relations in Dynamics NAV

For Beginners in CAL development. Table Relations is one of the most commonly used technique or call it technology. We find it in areas like Order processing.
Table relations assist us to

• Validate data entries
• Perform lookup in other tables
• Automatically propagate changes from one table to other tables

A typical example of a table relation is on Sales Header table(36). "Sell-to customer No." field

1. You will only be charged for services you consume
2. You can opt out any time
3. You can subscribe for more services
4. You can as well access the solution from anywhere
