Report Does Not Have a Layout Type None

-

Introduction

Have you ever faced the error: “Report ___ does not have a layout of type None.”



Here’s how you can resolve it.

Pre-requisites

  • Business Central OnCloud/OnPrem

Configuration

With the earlier versions of Business Central, you were allowed to run a report without specifying a layout, even if it was not a processing only report.

However with the recent version of Business Central it is mandatory to specify both the DefaultLayout and the path to the layout via the RDLCLayout or WordLayout or ExcelLayout properties.

Once these properties are the defined the error is resolved.

Furthermore you can also resolve this error by using the report rendering section which has been made available since runtime 9.0.

However be sure to define the DefaultRenderingLayout property for the report to specify which of the layouts defined should be considered as default.

Conclusion

Thus we saw how we can resolve the error: “Report ___ does not have a layout of type None.”

Happy Coding!

Event-Driven Architecture: How to Create Custom Business Events in Business Central

-

Introduction Events are notifications that signal something has happened in the system. A record getting created, updated or deleted, a sales order getting posted, etc are all examples of events. An event driven architecture provides asynchrony and decoupled communication between different components of the system supporting flexibility, scalability and modularity. In Business Central, we have two main types of events - Business and Integration. Integration Events are related to things within Business Central. They are use for extending the functionality of the Base Application without modifying it directly. Business Events are related to things outside of Business Central. They are used for notifying external systems (e.g., via Power Automate or Logic Apps) regarding any changes that happen within Business Central. Microsoft allows us to create custom Integration and Business Events based on our requirements. In this blog, we'll see how to create a custom Business Event and...

Know Your Users: Automated Usage Tracking for Better System Adoption

Introduction After a new Business Central system goes live, it’s important to know if users are actually using it the way they should (Go-Live is just the beginning). Tracking usage statistics helps us understand how well the system is being adopted and where improvements might be needed. To make this easier, I’ve created a small utility that automatically collects user activity data and builds a report from it. This saves time and gives a clear picture of how the system is being used to the management. Here’s what it does: There’s a setup page where you can choose how stats are collected and skip certain users (like consultants or support team members who create test data). A configuration page lets you pick which tables to track. You can also set how often stats should be gathered using a frequency field; it even sets up the background job for you. A report which summarises the generated data in a neat matrix. With this tool, keeping an eye on system adoption becomes simple and autom...
