Print URL - Hyperlink from Customer Card on Document

Dirk_VCBDirk_VCB Member Posts: 7
The purpose of this question is that i need to create a report in Navision (vers. 2009) of all customers.

Fields to display are customer no. - name - and url or hyperlink to open the customer card.
The document needs to be printed and will be saved as a pdf

The result is a pdf document that can be used to open directly the customer card using the URL or hyperlink.

Hope someone had had the same problem or question and can help me out with this simple report 8)

    So you create a report for outside NAV to open the customer card inside NAV again?
    Isn't it easier to use a personalized customer list inside NAV?

    Here's a post that can be helpful: http://saurav-nav.blogspot.in/2012/10/hyper-link-to-page-from-report.html

    The purpose is to print and save the document as a pdf.
    From that pdf report everybody can open the customer card directly using the url link.

    They do not have to know navision because, it will open the customer card if they need some additional information around a specific customer

    Your proposition is to run the report inside navision and open the item card from there.
    This is not what i looking for - already thx for your reply

    Just looking for a way to add an url or hyperlink on a report (save as pdf) so when you click the link it will open a specific customer card

    Thx for your reply but than we can also use the customer list.

    The meaning is to create a report with an integrated hyperlink ( behind this hyperling the url to open a specific customer card.

    The report will be generated and saved as a pdf document so everybody can open the customer card without even knowing how navision works

    You can take a look at report 1001. Field Item No. has an url which opens a nav report. You could use the functionality to open a page from a pdf.

    We do not use the RTC version (Pages are not used - only Forms )

    It's not possible to use hyperlinks in classic reporting.
    Maybe you could start using RTC for this request only?

    I don't know anything about pdf's, but this will work from a web page up to and including NAV 4.0:

    [url=navision://client/run?servername=]navision://client/run?servername=[/url]<server>%26database=<database>%26company=<company>%26target=Form%2021%26view=SORTING(Field1)%26position=Field1=0(<Customer No.>)%26servertype=MSSQL

    (of course the user will have to have a local NAV client installed)
