In this chapter we have learned performance optimization techniques so that running a report consumes fewer resources and out of memory errors can be avoided. It's very important to optimize the dataset and layout of your report and avoid sending unnecessary information to the dataset or layout. You can do this by eliminating rows and columns, applying filters, formatting and sometimes by using C/AL code to process resource-intensive tasks on the server instead of in the report viewer, which runs on the client.

In the next chapter, I will discuss Word report layouts. You can now create a layout in Word in Dynamics NAV as an alternative to RDLC layouts, This makes it possible for end or non-technical users to create or maintain custom report layouts using Microsoft Office Word for small and simple reports.
