Tip #45 | NAV2015 | Report Temporary Property

With Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Microsoft introduced a great new property on the Report object: Temporary.

And since the table is now empty we need to populate it like the table on the page like this:

Then after we created a Layout for the report:

Voila, enjoy
