Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / General NAVAX Extension Base
The NAVAX Extension Base provides basic functionality for NAVAX Extensions.
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Setup NAVAX License Management
The NAVAX License Management page (in older versions "NAVAX License Overview" or "NCEX License Overview") displays the current license status of the NAVAX extensions.
Fields
Name
Specifies the name of the Extension.
License Status
Specifies the current license status of the Extension.
Serial No.
Specifies the serial number of the Extension.
Version
Specifies the currently installed version of the Extension.
Trial Version
A NAVAX extension can be tested or used free of charge for 30 days after installation. After that, the extension can only be used with a valid license.
Request License
The license can be requested or checked via the Current Status action. This opens a window.
The following example shows the NAVAX extension Excel Report Builder.
Fill in the fields in the window and then click Send License Request.
Please note that the licensing process may take some time.
In the next few days you will receive an email with further information.
Note
For licensing, calling the online help and performing some actions, access to https://www.navax.app must be granted.
Public IP from www.navax.app for setting firewall access: 94.136.22.236, Port: TCP/443
Checking the connection to https://www.navax.app using PS: Test-NetConnection navax.app -port 443 (PS must be performed with the M-Tier service user)
CRL Servers In addition, the following CRL Servers must also be accessible for the certificate check: https://certificates.godaddy.com/* http://crl.godaddy.com/* or their IP: 192.124.249.36
Activate/Update License
As soon as the licensing has been completed, you will receive an email and the license can be activated via the Update License action.
The license is company independent. So it does not matter in which company the action is called.
Note
The licence must be updated once a year via the Update License action.
The update is only possible or necessary within the last 30 days before the license expires, or afterwards. Within the last 30 days before the license expires, notes are displayed.
If the Automatic License Renewal is enabled, the Update License action is called automatically before the license expires. Note that the setting is only active after the license has been activated via the action.
This action can be used to open the Microsoft AppSource ratings page for the extension.
We would be very happy if you submit your rating and let us know about your experience with the Extension.
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Setup Version History
The Version History page shows when which version of the extension was installed.
Fields
Version
Specifies the version.
Date
Specifies the date since the version was used.
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Setup Real Data Permissions
Real Data Permissions add an additional level of security to actions and processes. This is to prevent test data from being accidentally interpreted as real data. Particularly critical actions and processes (e.g. sending data to an external service) can therefore only be executed if a real data permission has been granted for the current environment.
Practical example
You create a new test database in an on-premises environment by copying the real database, which contains the fully set up fiskaltrust extension. The service of the fiskaltrust extension has the function to sign documents that are subject to the cash register obligation and to protect them against manipulation. Without an additional security level, data from the test database would also be forwarded to fiskaltrust, where it would be interpreted as real data and reported to the tax office. However, this is prevented by the real data permissions function.
Manage Real Data Permissions
The real data permissions of an extension can be viewed or managed via the setup page of the extension in the system area. In the setup of the real data permissions, an environment is defined by the company name, the database name and the server name.
Fields
Company Name
Specifies the company name of the permitted environment.
Database Name
Specifies the database name of the permitted environment.
Server Name
Specifies the server name of the permitted environment.
Current Environment
Specifies whether the permitted environment is the current environment.
Date and Time
Specifies the date and time when the environment was permitted.
User ID
Specifies the ID of the user who permitted the environment.
User Name
Specifies the name of the User ID.
Actions
Permit Current Environment
Grants a real data permission for the current environment.
Warning
Do not permit your current environment unless you are absolutely sure.
Once the environment is permitted, the secured action or process can be called or executed by all users. Although real data permissions can be deleted or removed at any time, this does not undo actions that have already been performed.
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Setup NAVAX Dropzone Setup
In the NAVAX Dropzone Setup page the settings and defaults for the different Dropzones are defined.
The NAVAX Dropzone can be used by various extensions. These extensions automatically add further options in the Dropzone field. For example, the NAVAX extension NAVAX Drag & Drop Document Attachments adds the option Document Attachments and the NAVAX extension Finmatics Autonomous Accounting adds the option Incoming Finmatics Documents.
Note
NAVAX Dropzones are suitable for upload sizes up to 15000 KB (15 MB).
If you change the settings, the page that displays the Dropzone may need to be reloaded or refreshed for the new settings to take effect.
Fields
Dropzone
Specifies for which Dropzone the settings apply.
The settings of the Default dropzone apply to all dropzones that do not have their own settings.
Max. Upload Size (KB)
Specifies the maximum total size of all files in KB that may be uploaded at the same time.
The default value that is suggested is 5000 KB (5 MB). The maximum value that can be entered is 15000 KB (15 MB).
Max. No. of Files
Specifies the maximum number of files that may be uploaded at the same time.
Allowed File Extensions
Specifies which file extensions may be uploaded. If the field is empty, all extensions are allowed. If multiple extensions are allowed, they can be specified separated by a comma. Example: pdf,doc*,xls*,png,txt,zip
Tip
If you specify 'doc', only files with .doc file extension may be uploaded. If 'doc*' is specified, files with file extension .docx, .docm etc. may also be uploaded.
Extract zip Files
Specifies whether *.zip files should be automatically decompressed or unzipped during upload.
Timeout (Milliseconds)
Specifies the duration in milliseconds that a file may take to upload before the process terminates with an error.

Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Information for Developers QR Codes
QR Codes can be created via the CreateQRCodeRedSoft procedure from the NCEX QR Code Mgt. codeunit.
Here a service from http://www.redsoft.at is used.
Note
To create the QR Codes, access to the service must also be allowed.
For more information, see Appendix, Installation Notes.
The Size parameter of the CreateQRCodeRedSoft procedure can be used to specify the size of the QR Code in pixels.
If no value is specified, the QR Codes will be created with a resolution of 200x200 pixels.
If the QR Code is displayed blurred on the document, a different specification may improve the print quality.
The fiskaltrust POS Interface extension has defined e.g. 600 as the default value.
In addition, a different value can be specified there via a field in the setup.
For more information, see [Docs] fiskaltrust POS Interface - Setup, Cash Register Setup
The Temp Blob in which the created QR Code is returned.
Integer
Size
The size of the QR Code in pixel (default=200).
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Information for Developers Text Editor
The Text Editor can be opened via the EditText and ShowText procedures from the NCEX Text Editor Mgt. codeunit.
Several variants (or several overloads) are available for the EditText function.
The ShowText function is only for displaying and not for editing a text.
The following examples show different starting situations and possibilities for integrating the text editor.
Save everything in the text field
The text editor can be called e.g. with a variable of the type Text:
MaxLineStrLen
If specified, this can be used to limit the maximum number of characters per line.
The text is automatically wrapped when entered in the editor if the length is exceeded.
The wrap tries to leave words whole.
MaxTextLen
If specified, this can be used to limit the maximum number of characters of the entire text.
ReadOnly
Specifies whether to open the editor in read-only mode.
In read-only mode, the text cannot be changed. However, the text can be marked and contents from it can be copied.
Scenario
The following example shows the integration of the editor into the Cash Register Sales Slip Text Setup.
The table has a text field with a length of 1000 characters:
Since a starting date and an ending date can be added to each text line in addition to the text and the text field itself is large enough, the following simple solution was chosen here, which does not split the text into several lines. A line break in the text is still possible.
It is important that the text field in the page is set to Editable = false; because in this solution the line breaks (not visible) are also stored in the text field.
Implementation
Table
...
procedure EditText(Editable: Boolean)
var
NCEXTextEditorMgt: Codeunit "NCEX Text Editor Mgt.";
TempText: Text;
begin
TempText := Text;
if not NCEXTextEditorMgt.EditText(TempText, 0, MaxStrLen(Text), not Editable) then
exit;
Text := CopyStr(TempText, 1, MaxStrLen(Text));
end;
...
Page
...
field("Text"; Rec."Text")
{
ApplicationArea = All;
ToolTip = 'Specifies the text. Click on the field to edit the text.', Comment = 'DEU="Gibt den Text an. Klicken Sie auf das Feld, um den Text zu bearbeiten."';
Editable = false;
AssistEdit = true;
trigger OnAssistEdit()
begin
Rec.EditText(CurrPage.Editable());
CurrPage.Update();
end;
}
...
Split text over multiple lines
The text editor can also be called with a variable of the type RecordRef:
RecordRef
Specifies which table and which records from the table should be loaded into the text editor.
Important
Special care must be taken to ensure that the correct filters are set on the RecordRef.
TextFieldNo
Indicates in which field the text is stored.
Note
The maximum number of characters per line (MaxLineStrLen) is determined by the length of the TextFieldNo field in this call.
The text is automatically wrapped when entered in the editor if the length is exceeded.
The wrap tries to leave words whole.
TempBlob
Contains the new, edited text.
ReadOnly
Specifies whether to open the editor in read-only mode.
In read-only mode, the text cannot be changed. However, the text can be marked and contents from it can be copied.
Scenario
The following example shows a possible integration of the editor into the Extended Text Lines:
Since the table "Extended Text Line" contains only the text and the text field with a length of 100 characters is not large enough, the following solution was chosen here, which splits the text over several lines.
Implementation
pageextension 50000 "NVX Extended Text Lines" extends "Extended Text Lines"
{
actions
{
addfirst(Processing)
{
action(NVXTextEditorAction)
{
ApplicationArea = All;
Caption = 'Text Editor', Comment = 'DEU="Texteditor"';
Image = Edit;
ToolTip = 'Edit the text in the text editor.', Comment = 'DEU="Bearbeiten Sie den Text im Texteditor."';
trigger OnAction()
var
ExtendedTextLine: Record "Extended Text Line";
NCEXTextEditorMgt: Codeunit "NCEX Text Editor Mgt.";
TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
RecordRef: RecordRef;
InStream: InStream;
NextLineNo: Integer;
TempText: Text;
begin
Clear(ExtendedTextLine);
ExtendedTextLine.SetRange("Table Name", Rec."Table Name");
ExtendedTextLine.SetRange("No.", Rec."No.");
ExtendedTextLine.SetRange("Language Code", Rec."Language Code");
ExtendedTextLine.SetRange("Text No.", Rec."Text No.");
RecordRef.GetTable(ExtendedTextLine);
if not NCEXTextEditorMgt.EditText(RecordRef, ExtendedTextLine.FieldNo(Text), TempBlob, not CurrPage.Editable()) then
exit;
ExtendedTextLine.LockTable();
ExtendedTextLine.DeleteAll();
NextLineNo := 10000;
TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStream);
while (not InStream.EOS()) do begin
Clear(ExtendedTextLine);
ExtendedTextLine."Table Name" := Rec."Table Name";
ExtendedTextLine."No." := Rec."No.";
ExtendedTextLine."Language Code" := Rec."Language Code";
ExtendedTextLine."Text No." := Rec."Text No.";
ExtendedTextLine."Line No." := NextLineNo;
NextLineNo += 10000;
InStream.ReadText(TempText);
ExtendedTextLine.Text := CopyStr(TempText, 1, MaxStrLen(ExtendedTextLine.Text));
ExtendedTextLine.Insert();
end;
end;
}
}
}
}
Store text in a blob
Calling the text editor with Codeunit "Temp Blob" without RecordRef is also possible:
MaxLineStrLen
If specified, this can be used to limit the maximum number of characters per line.
The text is automatically wrapped when entered in the editor if the length is exceeded.
The wrap tries to leave words whole.
MaxTextLen
If specified, this can be used to limit the maximum number of characters of the entire text.
ReadOnly
Specifies whether to open the editor in read-only mode.
In read-only mode, the text cannot be changed. However, the text can be marked and contents from it can be copied.
Scenario
If the text is to be stored directly to the record (i.e. no splitting to several records) and the solution via a text field is out of question due to the limited field length (depending on the definition max. 2048 characters), the text can also be stored in a blob field.
Optionally, another field can be created, which displays a preview of the blob field content.
The following example shows a possible solution.
...
field("Text Preview"; Rec."Text Preview")
{
ApplicationArea = All;
ToolTip = 'Specifies the text. Click on the field to edit the text.', Comment = 'DEU="Gibt den Text an. Klicken Sie auf das Feld, um den Text zu bearbeiten."';
Editable = false;
AssistEdit = true;
trigger OnAssistEdit()
begin
Rec.EditText(CurrPage.Editable());
CurrPage.Update();
end;
}
...
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Information for Developers Dropzone
A NAVAX Dropzone can be integrated into a page very easily. Each added dropzone is addressed and identified by a unique ID.
Note
NAVAX Dropzones are suitable for upload sizes up to 15000 KB (15 MB).
The following example shows how to add a new dropzone.
Scenario
A dropzone should be provided on the customer list (Page 22), which can be used to add document attachments via drag & drop:
Note
This example serves only to illustrate the simplest implementation.
For document attachments, it is recommended to use the NAVAX App NAVAX Drag & Drop Document Attachments.
This app is also based on NAVAX Dropzone, but integrates it directly with the document attachment FactBox.
For more information, see [Docs] NAVAX Drag & Drop Document Attachments - General
Implementation
enumextension
A NAVAX Dropzone triggers the OnAfterUpload event on a successful "Drag & Drop".
The NCEXDropzoneID parameter of the event specifies which Dropzone triggered the event.
For each new Dropzone an additional NCEXDropzoneID must be defined, so that it can be uniquely identified in the event. A new NCEXDropzoneID is added or created via an enumextension:
Through this enum extension, the customer will also have the ability to specify the settings and defaults for the new Dropzone later on the NAVAX Dropzone Setup page:
Add Dropzone
The new Dropzone can then be added to the customer list, e.g. as a FactBox:
trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord()
begin
CurrPage.NVXTESTDropzone.Page.SetCurrRecord(Rec);
end;
can also be omitted if, for example, you need a Dropzone that is not record related. (e.g. import of payment files of the NAVAX App NCPI Payments Import).
Note
An overload with the following additional parameters is also available for the SetDropzoneID function:
AdditionalCallID
Can be used as needed, and is passed to the OnAfterUpload Event.
For example, if several pages share the same NCEXDropzoneID, you can specify the ID of the page (e.g. Page:: "Purchase Invoices") as a parameter and query it later in the event.
AdditionalDropzoneText
Can be used if necessary to display additional information to users in the Dropzone area.
OnAfterUpload Event
The last step is now to react to the OnAfterUpload event of the Dropzone:
codeunit 50000 "NVXTEST Event Mgt."
{
[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"NCEX Dropzone Mgt.", 'OnAfterUpload', '', false, false)]
local procedure NVXTEST_NCEXDropzoneMgt_OnAfterUpload(NCEXDropzoneID: Enum "NCEX Dropzone ID"; CurrRecordVariant: Variant; var UploadedTempBlobList: Codeunit "Temp Blob List"; FileNameList: List of [Text]; AdditionalCallID: Integer)
var
Customer: Record Customer;
DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment";
TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
ConfirmManagement: Codeunit "Confirm Management";
RecordRef: RecordRef;
InStream: InStream;
FileName: Text;
i: Integer;
NoOfFiles: Integer;
NoOfNoContentFiles: Integer;
NoRecordSelectedErr: Label 'No %1 is selected.', Comment = 'DEU="Es ist kein %1 ausgewählt."';
UploadMsg: Label 'Do you want to add %1 file(s) to the document attachments of %2 ''%3''?.', Comment = 'DEU="Möchten Sie %1 Datei(en) zu den Beleganhängen von %2 ''%3'' hinzufügen?"';
NoContentFilesMsg: Label 'Files that have no content cannot be added to the document attachments.\\Number of files not added: %1\Number of files added: %2', Comment = 'DEU="Dateien, die keinen Inhalt haben, können nicht zu den Beleganhängen hinzugefügt werden.\\Anzahl nicht hinzugefügter Dateien: %1\Anzahl hinzugefügter Dateien: %2"';
begin
if (NCEXDropzoneID <> NCEXDropzoneID::"NVXTEST Customer") then
exit;
if (UploadedTempBlobList.Count() = 0) then
exit;
if not CurrRecordVariant.IsRecord() then
Error(NoRecordSelectedErr, Customer.TableCaption());
Customer := CurrRecordVariant;
if (Customer."No." = '') then
Error(NoRecordSelectedErr, Customer.TableCaption());
Customer.Get(Customer."No.");
if not ConfirmManagement.GetResponseOrDefault(StrSubstNo(UploadMsg, UploadedTempBlobList.Count(), Customer.TableCaption(), Customer."No."), true) then
exit;
RecordRef.GetTable(Customer);
NoOfFiles := 0;
NoOfNoContentFiles := 0;
for i := 1 to UploadedTempBlobList.Count() do begin
UploadedTempBlobList.Get(i, TempBlob);
if TempBlob.HasValue() then begin
FileNameList.Get(i, FileName);
TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStream);
Clear(DocumentAttachment);
DocumentAttachment.Init();
DocumentAttachment.InitFieldsFromRecRef(RecordRef);
DocumentAttachment.SaveAttachmentFromStream(InStream, RecordRef, FileName);
NoOfFiles += 1;
end else
NoOfNoContentFiles += 1;
end;
if (NoOfNoContentFiles <> 0) then
Message(NoContentFilesMsg, NoOfNoContentFiles, NoOfFiles);
end;
}
Important
if (NCEXDropzoneID <> NCEXDropzoneID::"NVXTEST Customer") then
exit;
This if-condition decides for which Dropzone the code should be executed and must not be omitted under any circumstances.
The value must match the added value from the enumextension.

end;
Docs / NAVAX Extension Base / Appendix Environment Confirmations (Obsolete)
Important
Environment Confirmations have been replaced by Real Data Permissions and should no longer be used.
For more information, see Setup, Real Data Permissions.
Environment Confirmations add an additional level of security to actions and processes to prevent test data from being accidentally interpreted as real data.
These additional secured actions and processes can only be executed if the current environment in which the action is executed is already confirmed or will be confirmed.
Example
Environment Confirmations are used, for example, by the NCCR Cash Register from the cash register posting process. This is to prevent test data from being accidentally forwarded to the external service of fiskaltrust as real data.
This case can occur, for example, especially when deploying via On-Premises, if a test or development database (or a test company) has been created based on the real data and is not defined as a sandbox environment. Without another level of security, cash register postings from this test system would also be forwarded to the fiskaltrust service as real data.
By using Environment Confirmations, the cash register posting recognizes that the test environment has not yet been confirmed and the user can now respond to the warning.
Testing and Confirmation
An environment is defined by the company name, the database name and the server name.
The action or process may be executed if the current environment is found in the environment confirmations and the setting entered in the Confirmed as field matches the setting of the current environment.
Environments set as Production can be confirmed as production environment or as sandbox environment.
If you confirm the environment as a production environment, all information will be interpreted as real data.
If you confirm the environment as a sandbox environment, all information will be interpreted as test data and the action or process may not be executed until the current environment is also set as a sandbox.
When deploying via On-Premises, test and development databases should or must be confirmed as a sandboxed environment.
Warning
Confirm your current environment only if you are absolutely sure.
Once the environment is confirmed, the action or process is confirmed for all users. While environments that have already been confirmed can be deleted at any time, this will not undo any action that has already been performed.
Environments set as Sandbox cannot be confirmed as production environment.
Confirmation as a sandbox environment is still necessary for security reasons.
Change a confirmation
All confirmed environments of an extension can be viewed from the extension's setup page via the System area.
An environment confirmation cannot be changed directly, but must be deleted first.
As soon as a secured action or process in the environment is executed, the environment must be reconfirmed.
Tip
The current environment can also be confirmed immediately using the Confirm Current Environment action.
Fields
Company Name
Specifies the company name of the confirmed environment.
Database Name
Specifies the database name of the confirmed environment.
Server Name
Specifies the server name of the confirmed environment.
Current Environment
Specifies whether the confirmed environment is the current environment.
Confirmed as
Specifies whether the environment was confirmed as a production environment (Real Data) or as a sandbox environment (Test Data).
Date Confirmed
Specifies the date when the environment was confirmed.
Time Confirmed
Specifies what time the environment was confirmed.
Confirmed By
Specifies the user ID of the person who confirmed this environment.
Actions
Confirm Current Environment
Confirms the current environment as a production environment or as a sandbox environment.

Since there have been increased requests to reintroduce the automatic license renewal, we have decided to make this feature available again in a slightly modified form.
The following changes were made:

The license check (and thus also the automatic license renewal) is not called more frequently in the last 7 days before the license expires.
Information for Developers: If necessary, the automatic license renewal can be skipped when calling the license check via the SkipAutoLicenseRenewal parameter.
