Copy and Paste Report Sections

bmccarthy

Hi,
I could swear I did this before but now it is not working for me. Maybe I dreamt it.

Is it possible to cut and paste an entire section from one report to another in NAV 5.0? :-k

As in when you open the report designer, select a data item row and copy and paste to a different report thereby copying all globals, section controls and code.

I never did that. I would be amazed if this could be possible, as you are copying a lot of different things (variables, code, controls, properties) all in one go.

So I presume you are wishful thinking ;-)

don't be expecting changes in the old C/Side client. You need to know that there will be new client, new technologies used etc. and it is not possible to "update" "old" client. You can ask something like "can we expect better reporting tools in new version?" - and I can answer "YES". ;-) If you know more about NAV 5.1, you know, that some sort (part) of Reporting services will be used. And this can lead you, what you can use to transfer things between reports (but it will be not so easy as you can think, just wait for the new version preview)...
