Hosting Dynamics NAV on Azure is one of the fastest ways to implement an ERP solution. Speed and cost are critical considerations for small businesses when deploying ERP, and hosting on Microsoft Azure caters to both of these factors.

Still, small businesses have unique requirements and rarely use ERP out of the box. For Dynamics NAV user companies, this raises the question “Can I host my Dynamics NAV solution on a Microsoft Azure infrastructure, all while retaining the ability to adjust NAV to our company needs, and without a huge price tag attached?”

As an executive or manager, you know how important it is to have an accurate and timely information available to you when you need to make decisions, especially those critical to your company’s future. Most successful companies implement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track and evaluate, making key decisions based on those. The easiest way to communicate and visualize KPIs is to have these displayed graphical with the ability to dive in deeper to a particular value.

To create a complex filter, a developer usually uses command "FILTERGROUP" to place different filters for the same field. In the first Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows-based versions, developers were able to use filtergroups starting from 0 to 255. Some of them were reserved and used within the application like filtergroup 2 used by properties SubFormView, DataItemTableView or when you use command SETTABLEVIEW. There was also a reserved filtergroup 1, which was supposed to be a "Global filter" as it was in the DOS version.

Beginning with version Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 SP1 build 28913, Microsoft introduced filtergroup 1 functionality.

In this article, we are going to talk about the "Promoted" actions feature. It allows users to easily access the main functions related to the active page. When we use pages without subpages, we can promote any function we want. The challenge arises when using subpage functions - where from the main page you can't get to the active subpage record.  (When you call the subform function in the Classic client, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV knows on which record the user stays, but in the RTC it doesn't work this way).

At 1ClickFactory we found a way to solve this issue - to promote actions that need subpage functions -- by using Parts (fact boxes). When you use parts, you can link them with lines subpages. The example we are going to present in this article is based on the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 W1 version.
