How to Configure Bricks – Madeira and NAV2017

I’ve got a few questions how to configure Bricks I already wrote on NAV 2017. Generally, Bricks are not something new. We already had a Bricks on NAV 2016, but we used them only in Phone Client. I already wrote how to configure Bricks on Phone Client here.

I don’t expect something special in NAV 2017 about Bricks. To open the Field Groups window, on Table Designer just choose View, and then choose Field Groups. In a table, we can see two Field Groups: DropDown and Brick. If Brick Field Group doesn’t exists, DropDown is interpreted as Brick.

What is new here? News is that we can use Bricks in other clients. I still cannot speak more about it (it is still by NDA), but everything I mention is the same as on NAV 2016. And yes, if you want picture on item, you need add picture as part of Brick Field Group. About Project “Madeira” you cannot use Development Environment for customization and you can change it only using Extensions.

I hope, this is good enough. More about it when we get official release of NAV 2017.

  1. hi, unfortunately it doesn’t show any picture… (IE;Edge;Firefox). It just display a “white” place for the image. I use Cronus database.
    Is something to activate somewhere (nst; IIS..)?

    • The reason for this are special characters in the company name. Remove any parentheses in the company name and it works. Sample for Swiss version: “CRONUS (Schweiz) AG” doesn’t work but “CRONUS Schweiz AG” does.
