Dynamics NAV - How to modify default filters when a page is opened from clicking a button in the ribbon

Buttons in the Ribbon are created through Page Actions

1. Open Development Environment
2. Find Page>Design
3. View>Page Actions
4. Select Action
5. View>Properties
6. Find the RunPageLink field
7. Select the value, click on the three dots to open the field selection
8. Each field on the left is a filter that can be added to the page that will open. Select Type FIELD. Each field on the right is a field from the original page that will be used as the filter value

This method does not work on Custom Reports.
To get a Custom Report to open with a filter

• Clear the RunObject property on the PageAction Button
• This leaves you with Just a button that does nothing
• Use CAL code on the Page Action to set the report filters and launch the report.
• Read current Record into a Variable
• Set the Range on the Record to the current record
• Run the report passing in the Range options set on the Giftrec
• In this example, GiftRec is a local Record

<Action1200000013> - OnAction()

GiftRec := Rec;

//MESSAGE(GiftRec."No.");

GiftRec.SETRANGE("No.",GiftRec."No.");

REPORT.RUNMODAL(50010,TRUE,TRUE,GiftRec);

action("Adv. Item Bin Contents")

            {

                CaptionML = ENU = 'Adv. Item Bin Contents';

                ApplicationArea = All;

                Image = ShowMatrix;

                RunObject = Page "Adv. Item Bin Contents";

                RunPageLink = "Item No." = Field("No.");

                Promoted = true;

                PromotedCategory = Process;

               

            }

Management Reporter - Drillback to GP from report does not work

The Drillback to open the window in GP will only work for the DataMart.

If you have already installed hte Legacy connection, check the "Company" field on your reports on the top left. It will have separate company connections for the Legacy connection, and for the datamart.

Ensure that the datamart connection is selected before running the report.
The drillback will work correctly once it is connected to the datamart.
