On the Home tab, choose New to add a new user.

Development Tips, FixedLayout Control, Scope Property, Show Mandatory Property, UpdatePropagation Property

New Properties and Controls for Pages – in Navision 2015

ShowMandatory Property

With Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called ShowMandatory has been introduced on page fields. The ShowMandatory property is set on page fields and marks the field with a red asterisk on the UI.

You can refer this in my earlier post Show Mandatory Property

UpdatePropagation Property

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called UpdatePropagation is added to page fields. The introduction of this property makes it possible to update a parent page from a subpage automatically without using the page Refresh button.

You can refer this in my earlier post UpdatePropagation Property

Scope Property

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called Scope is added to page actions. The introduction of this property specifies the scope of an action to be either page-specific, or specific to a repeater control.

You can refer this in my earlier post Defining Action Scope for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Pages in Navision 2015

FixedLayout Control

Microsoft Dynamics NAV now supports using the FixedLayout control on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.
