Where Used Tool

Dynamics Nav does not ship with a Where-Used-Tool, although it is often needed. A Where-Used Tool is a tool, with which you can check, which nav objects use/reference a certain nav object or a certain table field.

Idyn has developed a widly used Toolset, the Object Manager Advanced (OMA). It is very helpful, contains that kind of tool, also a version/source control, rename tool, a.s.o. but it has it’s prize. :-(

Other Where-Used/Search tools:

• “Statical Prism“: free community version available, cheapest full version you can get for $37.
• “GDT Where Used“: This small free tool lists all Nav objects and has a “Where used” function. It supports Nav 5, Nav 2009, Nav 2013. Looks very nice, it’s worth to test it.

02/2016, News about “GDT Where used”: There is a new version, which now supports also Nav 2015 and Nav 2016.
