Add new field to Employee table - Starter Pack, Customer License

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I would like to know if a customer of Dynamics NAV 2016 with Starter Pack functionality is allowed to add a new field to a specific table, and then display the field on the associated page. For example, adding a field called MyNewField to Employee table, with Field No. = 50000 (in the customer range).

AFAIK, this should be possible, since the Starter Pack includes Table Designer (7130) and Page Designer (7125) along with the rights to create a number of NAV objects. Is this correct?

Such a change can be performed by the IT department of a customer (only Customer License), right? Or does it have to involve a Microsoft Partner / Developer License?

Thank you in advance!

    Yes, you can add fields to the tables in the range of 50000 using customer license, and you would not need developer's access or Partner for that. You can as well reveal all table fields on the corresponding pages. But, you would not be able to edit the code on the tables:

    "With the Table Designer granule, you can change properties in existing tables, add fields to existing tables, and create new keys. However, the Table Designer granule does not give access to the C/AL code in the tables."
