This course is programming intensive. This is the second course on C/SIDE and knowledge from the Introduction in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 course is vital to the understanding of the concepts and for participation in this course. In this course you will learn programming documentation, debugging tools, performance issues, complex data variables and their internal member functions, multi-language functionality, analysis of objects, posting routines, interfaces to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, and some Microsoft SQL Server 2008 issues. Audience Profile This course is intended for Microsoft Certified Business Solutions Partner employees who sell and implement Microsoft Nav solutions. The curriculum is designed for participants who have completed the Introduction in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 course. At Course Completion After completing this course, students will be able to: Creating solutions following the Microsoft Nav Implementation Methodology. Use debugging tools. Troubleshoot performance issues. Define complex data variables and their member functions. List multi language functionality. Perform analysis of objects. Post routines. Define the architecture of a basic Microsoft Nav document. Define Microsoft Nav dimensions. Deploy customized Microsoft Nav software solutions. Course Outline Module 1: Client Requirements The Diagnosis section of this chapter provides the "executive summary" of the business case, including the client's profile and a high-level description of their needs. The Analysis section describes the client's specific requirements for the system, including the data models based on those requirements and the basic project implementation plan. Diagnosis Executive Summary Analysis Functional Requirements Data Model Project Plan Diagnose the executive summary. Analyze functional requirements. Create a data model based on the functional requirements. Develop a project plan.

2 Module 2: Master Tables and Pages This module explains how the requirements for master tables and pages for the solution are discussed before moving on to the Design and Implementation phases. A Quick Refresher Customers and Participants Rooms Instructors Seminars Testing Lab : Create Seminar Room Tables and Pages Lab : Adding Code for Seminar Rooms Lab : Creating Instructor Tables and Pages Lab : Create Seminar Tables and Pages Use formalized analysis and design methodology. Understand master table and page standards. Work with table event triggers. Work with the complex data types and their member functions. Enable multi-language functionality. Define the strategy for implementing Customers and Participants. Create the tables to manage the seminar rooms. Create instructor data management. Create seminar data management. Test the master tables and pages by following a test script. Module 3: Registrations This module explains how to implement functionality to allow users to perform transactions with the master data. Types of Tables Additional Functions Registrations Testing Seminar Registrations Lab : Create Tables and Pages for Seminars Lab : Add Code to the Seminar Charge Table Lab : Adding Code to Seminar Registration Header Lab : Create Seminar Tables and Pages Import and export objects as text files. Support multilanguage functionality. Use main and subpages (document pages). Use virtual tables. Use temporary tables. Review the various types of tables. Review of C/AL functions. Create additional tables and user interfaces (pages) to maintain registrations.

3 Test the results of the Labs. Module 4: Posting This module explains how to use the registration information to create ledger entries for seminars through a posting routine. This functionality is added to the Seminar module by the end of this chapter. Posting Seminar Registrations Lab : Creating the Tables and Pages for Seminar Registration Posting Lab : Creating the Codeunits and Page for Seminar Journal Posting Lab : Modifying the Table Lab : Creating Instructor Tables, Pages and Codeunits for Job Posting Lab : Role Tailored Client Menu Setup Create journal posting routines. Create document posting routines. Write internal documentation for modifications to existing objects. Debug code. Program for low-impact on the application. Develop pages and codeunits for posting. Add objects to the RoleTailored client menu. Test the design and development work. Module 5: Integration This module explains how to integrate these features with one another and with the standard application, making it userfriendly. This requires using MenuSuite objects and implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Navigate functionality. This chapter addresses the integration of solution functionality with the user interface (UI) of the application. Seminar Feature Integration Navigate Integration Testing Managing Integration Lab : Integrating Seminar Features Lab : Modifying Objects to Integrate with Navigate Integrate previously created Seminar module features with one another by adding the Navigate feature to pages. Add to the Department Menu so that the Seminar module functionality is accessible in a standard way. Integrate the Navigate feature into the Seminar module. Test integration of the Navigate feature. Module 6: Reporting This module explains how to create reports for the Seminar module.

4 Participant List Reporting Certificate Information Invoice Posting Lab : Create the Participant List Lab : Creating the Certificate Confirmation Report Lab : Creating the Invoice Posting Report Use report event triggers. Use special report functions. Create reports for both the Classic and RoleTailored clients. Create a seminar participant list. Create a confirmation certificate for a seminar participant. Create a ProcessingOnly report that posts invoices. Module 7: Statistics This module explains how statistics are added to the Seminar Management module using FlowFilters and FlowFields. Seminar Statistics Testing Lab : Creating FlowFields for Sums Lab : Creating the Seminar Statistics Page Create a page that calculates price sums efficiently. Make the page available from the Seminar pages. Use FlowFilters to easily calculate statistics for different time periods. Module 8: Dimensions This module explains how Dimensions are used to control how analysis occurs. Prerequisites Code Walkthrough Dimension Management Codeunit Dimension Master Tables, Pages, and Codeunits Dimensions in Documents Dimensions in Posting Lab : Using The Debugger Interface to View The Dimension Process Describe Global, Shortcut and Budget dimension types and their functions. List the basic rules of Dimension Setup. List the functions that help populate the dimension tables. Enable multi-language functionality. Describe the flow of dimension values for posted documents. Describe how shortcut dimension fields are used. Module 9: Interfaces

5 This module explains how the some of the methods that are used to interface Microsoft Dynamics NAV to external software or hardware. File-Handling Confirmation Using an XMLport Lab : Creating Confirmations Lab : Creating the XML Seminar Registration Participant List Use automation servers to perform tasks with other applications. Install and use custom controls in C/AL. Use file handling functions to import or export data. Design and implement an capability. Use the XMLport to generate exported data in XML format. Module 10: Web Services This module explains how the interoperation between different software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks occurs.
