In this chapter, we covered some basic definitions of terms related to NAV and C/SIDE. We followed with the introduction of seven types of NAV objects (Tables, Pages, Reports, Codeunits, Queries, MenuSuites, and XMLports). We also introduced Page and Report Creation through review and hands-on use beginning with a NAV application for the WTDU Radio Show programming management. Finally, we looked briefly at the tools that we can use to integrate with external entities, and we discussed how different types of backups and documentation are handled in C/SIDE. Now that we have covered these basics in general terms, let's dive into the detail of the primary object types.
In the next chapter, we will focus on Tables, the foundation of an NAV system.
