Difference between PAGE "Card" and "Document"?

M.Quinly

Being relatively new to the back side of NAV I am looking for clairification on the difference between "Card" and "Document" when designing a Page.
I have so far designed all my pages as Cards with ListParts as subforms.
What is the advantage/disadvantage to using Document instead?

Hey MQuinly,

Document type Page we normally make when we have to fetch data from two different Tables like Sales Order Page is the Document type as its fetching data from two different table.

Card type page we normally make when there's only one Table involved. e.g - Customer Card.

Thank you.
If the card type is working, what is the functional difference between card and document. I have created a custom page. Which I've used card for. It calls to a different table than it's subform. Since they have 2 tables should i be using Document?

Hey,

Depending on the page type, each page has a specific set of controls that is
available only for that page.

Search for Card Page and Document Page, you will understand the difference.
