1. In the development environment, export the Word report layout as a Word document file to your computer or network.
2. Open the Word document file in Word 2013 and make changes.
To make basic layout changes, such as adding or removing tables and cells, formatting text, or changing margins, use the editing features of Word.
To add fields from the report dataset to the layout, use the custom XML part for the report to add content controls that map to the fields.
3. Save your changes, and then close the Word report layout document.

To create a Word report layout for a report
In the development environment, open the report in Report Dataset Designer as follows.
A blank Word report layout is created on the report object. The report layout includes a custom XML part for the current report dataset. You can now design the layout in Word.
A Word report layout determines the content and format of a report when it is viewed and printed from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client. When you modify a Word report layout, you specify the fields of the report dataset to include on report and how the fields are arranged. You also define the general format of the report, such as text font and size, margins, and background images. You will typically arrange the content of the report by adding tables to the layout.
You insert dataset fields in the layout by using a custom XML part that is automatically generated for the report when you create the Word report layout.
- On the Tools menu, choose Object Designer.
- In Object Designer, choose Report, select the report, and then choose the Design button.
- On the Tools menu, choose Word Layout, and then choose New, and then choose the OK button.
- Save the report object.

Enhanced Cues
Cues appear as tiles in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client that display business data and key performance indicators (KPIs) on RoleCenters. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 includes the following new features that expand the data that can be displayed in a Cue, and enhance Cue set up and appearance.
Coloured Indicators
You can configure the Cue to display a bar along its upper border that changes colour based on the data in the cue.
New Images
You can change the image that displays on the Cue or set up the Cue without an image. There are several images to choose from.
Normal Fields
In previous Microsoft Dynamics NAV versions, you could only set up Cues based on FlowFields for data. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, you can also use normal fields, which expands your possibilities for the Cue data source, such as using Query objects or source expressions.
Decimal and Text Data Types
In previous Microsoft Dynamics NAV versions, you could only set up Cues to display on integer data types. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, you can also use decimal and text data types. This provides you with additional data aggregation possibilities instead of just COUNT, such as SUM, MAX, MIN, and AVG.
Custom Formatting of Data
By using the AutoFormat property, you customize the format of the value that appears in a Cue. For example, you can set the number of decimal places, or place a symbol such as a +, -, or %, before or after a value.

Show Mandatory Property
With Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called ShowMandatory has been introduced on page fields. The ShowMandatory property is set on page fields and marks the field with a red asterisk on the UI.
NOTE:The ShowMandatory property can be used to mark all page fields, but does not enforce any validation of the field. This means that the user will be able to close a page without entering data.
