One of the things that totally slipped by me, is the new app from Microsoft that apparently was released in the last wave called “Data Search“.
It’s a simple, but powerful concept: Search for “any” record in your data. Well, any record that you have set up to search for at least ;-).
Starting with Business Central 2022 wave 2 (BC21), when you want to find a particular record or value, use the Search for Data feature to look for it. Start a search on your Role Center in the following ways:
Interesting functionality (still in preview mode, textual, non-graphic and for now without dependencies between documents), both to be used and to make demos to prospects (functionality also present in other ERPs in graphical mode).
Sometimes it may happen that by importing data from external sources (even with Web Services), some special characters are written and then uploaded to NAV \ Business Central.
These characters (even if accepted) could then give problems to searches, XML exports, blocking the sending of documents.
Yesterday we discussed how to count the same value of different fields in one line (For example, how many “OK” in a line) in Business Central, I received a lot of feedback, which was much appreciated.
Migrating, upgrading, recoding & refactoring the older versions of Dynamics NAV to Business Central you will (or can find) find a lot of documentation tracked both in the Documentation and development notes \ TAG sections within the code.
Small post – just because I needed it recently – and it made me think of this little gem that I still had to share: what if you have to search over multiple lines in multiple files in VSCode .. something that actually might happen more than you want to admit.
