Report Designing in NAV 2009

• In NAV 2009, if a report consists of two indented data items, instead of running a nested loop, the records are returned in a flattened state, which means, both data items, the parent and the child are joined, and returned together.
• There are two new components in the report objects, they are as follows:
  • Request Page
  • Report Definition Language (RDL) data
• Report chagnes takes advantage of on SQL Reporting Services technology. i.e.
  • Visual effects with charts and graphical representation.
  • Richer aggregates, not only SUM but also AVG, MIN, MAX and more.
  • The possibility to create interactive reports (interactive sorting, hide/collapse item).
  • Out-of-the box export possibility to Excel and PDF for all reports.
