    I think the most important requirement for someone who will develop reports in Dynamics NAV is that they have an understanding of the business and they understand the data model in Dynamics NAV.

    Putting together the code for the reports is the easy part.

    Hi, hope the following helps as well.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/report-design-overview

    A report object is composed of a the following items:

    • Report dataset.

    • Report layout.

    • Request page.

    • Properties, triggers and code.

      You design a report by first defining the dataset, and then designing the visual layout.

    Thanks.

    To appoint a developer as a MS Nav Report developer, how should the person look like i.e.,:

    1) Certifications / qualifications

    2) Experience level and years of experience

    3) Capabilities

    4) Skills needed to be a NAV Report developer

    5) etc.
