Procedure to create custom action to select multiple records and modify them in Dynamics NAV

Introduction: In Dynamics NAV, we can code to select multiple records on a page at a time and modify the selected records at once.

To demonstrate the same, I will be creating a custom action on a page which will modify all the records selected by the user.

Pre-Requisite:

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Procedure:

1. I have created a custom table which stores ‘Employee Details’ as shown below

1. On the above shown page, a Boolean field is present viz. ‘Experienced Employee’. Also I have created a custom action ‘Select Experienced Employees’ in actions.

The above action when clicked will modify the selected employee records and check the ‘Experienced Employee’ Boolean variable.

1. The C/AL code written in the action ‘Select Experienced Employee’ is as follows:

1. Now, I will be selecting Employee Nos. E0001, E0003 and E0004 and click the action ‘Select Experienced Employees’ which will check the ‘Experienced Employee’ Boolean variable.

Thank you!
