Summary

In this chapter, we focused on the structural and layout aspects of NAV Report objects. We studied the primary structural components, data, and format, along with the Request Page. We also experimented with some of the tools and modestly expanded our WDTU application.

In the next chapter, we will begin exploring the key tools that pull the pieces of the C/SIDE development environment and the C/AL programming language together.
