Implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premise - Fourth Edition

Triggers

Triggers are available for the different objects in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018. They activate a function when a certain event occurs. When C/AL functions are executed as a result of a predefined event on either an object or a control, the event triggers the function. Together, the event and function make a trigger; you edit triggers in the C/AL editor.

The following are different types of triggers:

• Report and data item triggers
• Table and field triggers
• XMLport triggers
• Page and action triggers
• Codeunit triggers
• Query triggers
