Hello all

I have upgraded a NAV 2015 C11 DB to NAV 2018 CU3, application objects and database as per MSDN.

However when I load some pages in NAV 2018, i have buttons that appear with captions 'Actions22,# etc which refer to the same button in 2015, i.e. copy document, however the action numbers are changed between 2015 and 2018.

the design of the pages are identical to a vanilla version of 2018 cronus, what causes this and what is the fix?

Thanks for everybody's help in advance.

    Answer:

    It is user personalisation issue. I deleted it for page 51 and the issue was no longer there,

    question is, if i deleted the user personalisation for me, and i go and do the same for all users, will they lose their custom views / button + ribbon layout + column sets when they load the page? Is there a way of retaining,

    i noticed an extra column in the 'delete personalisation page' called 'legacy personalisation, but i'm not sure what it does.

    it is a rule that when you do an upgrade you also delete User Personalizations if a page has been modified. The reason for that is that the personalizations are "hooked" into a specific page on a specific build.

    So even if you do an upgrade from NAV 2018 CU2 to NAV 2018 CU3 - and the page has changed, it probably won't work.

    This means, that every time I upgrade a database, i always delete user personilizations - just to be on the safe side, OR train the users to do a reset of a page if something looks wrong.
