Hi experts, in 365 business central, and if we do not have developer's license, can we still customize or create new reports like we did before in premises? In the past we have created reports, modified pages and even created new tables even though we did not have developer's license. In dynamics 365 business central, what can the users do and what cannot do? When users export the reports in word, it mentions the users cannot add the fields or delete the fields or whatever, but just update the font. Is it true?

Thank you!

Yes, you can develop new pages, reports, tables..... but cannot modify base tables or pages directly you need to use extensions and events to modify them and for reports, you can create custom layouts.

In BC Saas, the object range [50.000..99.999] is free. That means you can use the development environment, VSCode, to create apps (extensions) that can create new objects, like: tables, pages, reports, codeunits, xmlports, queries, profiles, enums,...

Via table-extension and page-extension objects you can make, limited, modifications to existing tables and pages, from the base app.

You can not modify reports, only create new report objects, but in one of the next releases there will be a new object type: report extension, that will allow you to make, limited, modifications to report datasets.

Instead of BC17, you need to put your container name,
