Microsoft Dynamics NAV Documentation

Elements

Elements mark points in the pipeline that an action will be taken. This can either be an Event or an Activity (not to be mixed with framework Activities, this type of activity is only for Connections).

Event-Elements mark starting points. Where the most important event is the DynamicsAnywhere event. This event will listen to the Web Service. When a connection request is received, this event will trigger the connection.

The other elements are activities. There are 3 important activities:

Mapper: this activity will map the external document values to the internal document.

RecordGenerator: this activity will generate a record based on the internal document and the values it currently holds.

EventGenerator: this activity can be configured to call either reports or Codeunits in NAV.

Even though the elements are visible in the connection card, modification is only possible through the “elements” button found in the ribbon.
