Use view in report

Question

I have created a view in SQL Server. I'd like to use this view to create a report in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. Is this possible and if so, how can I use the view?

Thanks

Answer 1

yes this is possible but you need a new navision table and change the property 'LinkedObject' to Yes.

Further, you need to name the table exactly like the view.

Here are some further hints.. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd339076.aspx

You then can use that table like any other table in nav with some limitations..
