Customizing Report Field Captions in #MSDyn365BC.

Hi Readers,

This video is about how to customize report field captions in Dynamics 365 Business Central. The speaker discusses three different ways to achieve this: using text constants, labels, and include captions.

Text constants are defined in the report code and can be used to provide custom captions for fields. This method gives you the most flexibility but can also impact report performance.

Labels are defined in the report code and are used to provide captions for fields. This method is similar to text constants but does not require you to define a separate data set column.

Include captions are used to automatically include the caption of the field from the source table in the report. This method is the most efficient but does not allow you to customize the caption.

The speaker recommends using include captions whenever possible to improve report performance. However, if you need to customize the caption or provide a dynamic caption, you can use labels or text constants.

Overall, this video provides a clear and concise explanation of the different ways to customize report field captions in Dynamics 365 Business Central. The speaker also provides recommendations on when to use each method.
