The wonders of links and the problems ...

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm often using links into NAV (2013) from VBA in Outlook and Excel and it works fine for opening a page view in NAV with some preset filters.

(I'm talking links of this type: dynamicsnav://dkscph-navapp.net.com:7046/nav2013r2_prod/PVNorway/runpage?page=6068740)

There are however a few situations where I cannot get links to do what I wanted.


1. I have never been able på open a report and set parameters and filter.

So for now I have given up on that.

2. Today I then had another problem. I needed to make a link that would open a specific Payment Journal with a specific name ...and couldn't.

If I go into the journal and copy the links then I get something that works but I cannot see the specific name that I had hoped.

What I get is "dynamicsnav://dkscph-navapp.net.arator.com:7046/nav2013r2_prod/PV20Norway/runpage?page=6016850&personalization=6016850&bookmark=38%3BUQAAAAJ7%2F1AATQAAAAJ7%2F1UARABMAEEATgBEAAAAAIcQJw%3D%3D&mode=Edit"

I had hoped for a a link where the name of the record could be seen and where I could use that as a templete and open a journal just knowing it's name.

Any ideas how I can make it work? Is it even possible in current NAV?

    - start report with link: i tried following on my system. running report 205 with filter No.=1001. so i created this link ...  dynamicsnav://localhost:7246/DynamicsNAV100/CRONUS%20AG/runreport?report=205&filter=Sales%20Header.%22No%2E%22:1001

    that worked correctly.

    hint: important is to convert special chars to html like . , " (blank) a.s.o.

    additional check, if you use the correct nav instance, if you have installed more than one nav versions on your system.

    - run a page, e.g. a journal with filters:

    dynamicsnav://localhost:7246/DynamicsNAV100/CRONUS%20AG/runpage?page=99000846&$filter='Journal Template Name'%20IS%20'VERBRAUCH'%20AND%20'Journal Batch Name'%20IS%20'STANDARD'

    the word 'Verbrauch' is german and means consumption.

    as you can see the used syntax for the filters is different between report and page.
