(On-Prem BC14 Spring Release) How to restrict mass record deletion?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 72

Hello all,

We are a small shop running Dynamics NAV BC14 On-premise, and I'm relatively new to the NAV environment.  Recently we had one of our new folks in Finance mess up and mass delete (1500+) records en mass. They thought the "view" they open was only applicable to them and was a report. After 4 hours of me getting everything back, I'd like to prevent this from happening again, by implementing a "pop-up" are you sure you want to delete "X number" of records and also limit no more than say 5 records at once.

Is this even possible?

Cheers,

Dave

    Hi, I think it is possible. You can add the Count function to the OnBeforeDelete (Table Extension) Trigger of the table, prompt an error when the number is greater than 5.

    Thanks Yun, I'll look into setting this up. and testing by the end of the week.

    As this seems to be out of my scope and will require some .json work, it appears I will have to reach out to our NAV partner to have this completed. Thanks YUN!
