Hi Community,

1. I would like to know how do you add contacts in Navision so that you can pull out the contact number and name?

2. What is the image, which looks like a ring, next to the Phone No used for?

Thank you!

Josh,

I am attaching my Contacts Manual for NAV to help you create them in Contacts. As for the phone icon, if you had a VOIP phone system clicking would call the phone number.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi, you can use Contacts feature to manage your contacts.

I think if the ExtendedDataType is set to phone number.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/property-extended-datatype

This property affects the layout and behavior of controls on pages. For example, you can use it to add an icon next to an input field to indicate if the field specifies a phone number, email address, or URL. This property applies validation to the field.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
