Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.00 Terminology Handbook
This book is intended as the basis for a training course aimed at terminologists working
with Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV. It can also be used as a tool by anyone working with
naming objects in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
The Terminology Handbook explains the concept of terminology and how we work
with it. It also describes the underlying structure of Dynamics NAV and outlines our
naming conventions for objects.
The information in this book supplements the information about naming in the GUI
guide and the C/AL™ Programmer’s Guide. It is aimed at Microsoft® Business Solutions
employees but also has relevance for anyone working with customizing or localizing
Dynamics NAV.
