This year I am starting to talk about basics again.
We all understand that basics are important while working on solution for our customers.

The structure of a table has four sections:
Section 1 - The first block contains metadata for the overall table, such as the table type and other table properties.
Section 2 - The fields section describes the data elements that make up the table, such as their name and the type of data they can store.
Section 3 - The keys section contains the definitions of the keys that the table needs to support.
Section 4 - The final section details the triggers and code that can run on the table.
Additionally, each table in business central have System fields -
The Dynamics 365 Business Central platform will automatically add several system fields to tables. As of today Microsoft will add following system fields in every table -
- 2000000000 - SystemId
- 2000000001 - SystemCreatedAt
- 2000000002 - SystemCreatedBy
- 2000000003 - SystemModifiedAt
- 2000000004 - SystemModifiedBy
In the next article of #albacktobasics we will talk about Section 1, table metadata.
If you have any other basic stuff that you would like to discuss please let me know and I will try to write an article on this.
