Search Description

Posted on by

What is the use for the Search Description Field?  Is it just an extra field to describe the products?  I can'seems to find any documentation beyond NAV 2015.  (Currently using Nav 2017)  I tried using it in sales order line but can not find the items using the search description as described in the documentation.

    Back in the old NAV, you can input the search description into the field and it will automatically changed to the Item No.

    The AltSearchField property is no longer working since NAV moved to RTC.

    It's kind of useless now, unless you do customization.

    I think it does not work because you can set a FieldGroup in the table and then click on the column (in the drop-down menu) that you want to use to search a value
