Getting Started with RTC Report Writer

Dynamics NAV 2009 RTC Report Writer is very different than the pre-RTC (Classic) Report Writer.

This class is ideal for the IT Staff or Programming Staff to learn some of the advanced Reporting Tips to really spiff up your reports with Charts, Interactive Sorts, Drill Through, and Matrix Reports. There are 8 hours of Instruction, and another 8 hours of practice time provide in this class. It is almost like our LIVE class, but you get to pause and replay too. Learn to master the Visual Studio editor/designer.

Visual Studio Report Design Center

Dynamics NAV Reports (RDLC Reports) are developed from the “Object Designer” area in the Development Area. You start your report with the Wizard or with a Blank Report. You then add your desired fields to the header and body section(s). These fields are now available for the Visual Studio Editor, which is where you design your RTC version of the report.

What is interesting is that each report holds both the “Classic Section Design” and the RTC “Layout” design. If the report is run from Classic, the classic report is printed. If the report is run from RTC, the RTC version of the report is rendered in the Viewer.

How the class works:

There are 28 Lessons starting from a very simple report to a complex report. Each lesson is really a “Lecture” from the instructor (Rick), which is then re-played and paused as you re-create each of the steps to create the report in your practice database or company.
