In this chapter we have learned that there are several ways of analyzing and reporting data inside Dynamics NAV. We can use filter and FlowFilters, create views, take a look at the statistics pages of Dynamics NAV, define charts and use them in multiple pages, use all the available reports, use analysis views to analyze our data based on dimensions, and use account schedules to analyze our accounting information.

If that is not enough, we have learned that there are several ways to extract data from Dynamics NAV and do the analysis and reporting outside the application using external tools.

And finally, we can create our own Dynamics NAV reports if none of the earlier ways are useful to us. We have learned the basics about report development in this chapter.

In the next chapter, we will cover a completely new functionality offered in Dynamics NAV 2013 that will considerably improve the developing experience: the new debugger.
