Code Management with GIT: Azure DevOps (Part 2)
Last month we wrote about AL Code Management with GIT and how to set up it along with one additional tool named GitExtensions. This month we continue this series with the Remote repository with Azure DevOps and a short guide on how to use GIT in daily development. We hope you will have a good read!
Thinking about FactBoxes
Today, I was working on a new E Foqus product and this is something that needs a fair amount of FactBoxes.
It could be solved using a single FactBox object throughout the system. I started with a C/Side approach, trying to get the information from the parent page into the FactBox with SubPageLink but that didn’t work. I was even trying to be too creative with the new SystemId field.
AL Code Management with GIT (Part 1)
Probably most of you heard about AL code management with GIT, which is one of the most popular tools for this purpose. As you know, in the previous versions of NAV, you could use GIT, but in most cases, you needed some third party Addin. With AL and Visual studio code, we finally get native integration with GIT.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be assigned to a Microsoft Dynamics Business Central implementation, and working in AL has been a whole new world for me. Coming back to Visual Studio and auto-complete after years of being in the old NAV development environment is nice. Years ago, I split my time between ASP.NET/C# development and NAV development, and it’s good to have Intellisense back. I had pretty well forgotten what it was like to have all those fancy bells and whistles after years of toiling in the bare-bones NAV development environment.
