Hi Readers, This video is about how to customize report field captions in Dynamics 365 Business Central. The speaker discusses three different ways to achieve this: using text constants, labels, and include captions. Text constants are defined in the report code and can be used to provide custom captions for fields. This method gives you the most flexibility but can also impact report performance. Labels are defined in the report code and are used to provide captions for fields. This method is similar to text constants but does not require you to define a separate data set column. Include captions are used to automatically include the caption of the field from the source table in the report. This method is the most efficient but does not allow you to customize the caption. The speaker recommends using include captions whenever possible to improve report performance. However, if you need to customize the caption or provide a dynamic caption, you can use labels or text constants. Over...

Hi Readers, The video talks about the first jump version of Dynamics 365 Business Central which was announced in a previous release. The jump version is a new name for an old concept where you had to take breaks in the middle of an upgrade process. Here are some key points from the video: In the past, you had to upgrade from NAV 2009 to NAV 2015 and then from NAV 2015 to Business Central 14. Now, you can upgrade directly from any version to Business Central 23 or Business Central SaaS. However, this will change in the future. You will have to upgrade to Business Central 25 before upgrading to Business Central 26 or Business Central SaaS. This is because Microsoft is introducing a new property called "obsolete state" which will allow them to delete tables and fields that are no longer needed. This will improve performance and make it easier to maintain the codebase. ISVs and partners will need to adapt their code to the new jump version strategy. This will require them to clea...
