PowerShell CmdLet Old

In case you want to automate the conversion of Classic or RDLC reports or reconversion of ForNav reports you might want to use the ForNav Powershell commandlet “Invoke-ReportsForNavConvert”, which has the same capabilities as the ForNav converter – but without the user interface

Instead input is given as parameters:

Path <path> Path to report .txt source file

RequestPageOptionCaptionML <string> Sets OptionCaptionML for the request page ENU=Options
FindReplace <path> Path to the ForNav hint file
UseRequestPage <bool> If both a request form and a request page is defined for the report true means that the page will be used and false that the page will be used false
NavCompatibility <NavCompatibilitySelection> Sets the compatibility of the output objects. Small differences in NAV versions require that you specify the version of NAV, you wish to use with your report objects. Valid values are 2013 (use with 2013 and 2013 R2), 2015 (use with NAV 2015 and 2016), and 2017. This setting should be used instead of the old Nav2013Compatible shown below. 2017 (this changed over time)
Nav2013Compatible <bool>

(deprecated)

 Sets if the report should be compatible with NAV 2013/NAV 2013 R2 or newer versions of NAV. This setting is now deprecated. Please use NavCompatibility instead. false

The format of the txt file is:
<ReportNo>:<ControlName> <CaptionML>

The format of the txt file is the same as the ExportCaptions format
