So I was asked to edit a report in AX, but I'm having trouble identifying which report it even is. To open the report, I do the following steps:
Procurement and Sourcing > Common > Purchase Orders > All Purchase Orders > Approval status field == confirmed > Select a PO > Purchase tab > Purchase order confirmations > Preview/Print > Original Preview
This opens up the report. However, I cannot personalize or do anything to figure out what the name of this report is. I also tried personalizing the form where you click Preview/Print to see if that had any references to the report. Nope!
I then decided another approach to identifying the report. I opened up the developer workspace and went to Visual Studio Projects > Dynamics AX Model Projects and decided to try and open all of our customized reports in Visual Studio to see which one looked the same. However, I cannot preview the designs of any of the reports! The "preview" button next to the "Add Element" button is always greyed out.
Edit:
Tried to follow this tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/appuser-itpro/walkthrough-customizing-existing-microsoft-dynamics-ax-reports
but when I tried to preview the "LedgerBalanceControlDSTable" I get this error: Unable to preview the report, install the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for VS2013.
Screw that. Rather than preview the report in VS, I'll just reopen it in AX to see if my changes were correct. Anyways, I just need to a way to identify what the report is. Thank you.
