Statical Prism

Prism for AL

The move to Visual Studio Code with solutions split into multiple extensions comes with its own challenges. Statical is developing Prism for AL which will give developers the solution-wide overview and insight they need in order to be productive and deliver high quality.

What Is Statical Prism?

Statical Prism is an easy-to-use productivity tool for professionals using Microsoft Dynamics Business Central / NAV. With Prism it is possible to quickly and effortlessly get an overview of C/AL code, modules and dependencies which is important for roles such as:

Consultants

who read code to understand what the system is doing (or not doing)

Supporters

who read code when doing root cause analysis or just try to understand a module they are not yet familiar with

Developers

who read code to understand what they have to build on or modify - in particular refactor, and for inspiration

Architects

who read code when they try to predict what could be impacted by a change

QA consultants

who review code and read code to see where the complexities are

Statical Prism is able to browse Dynamics NAV code in several ways. It is possible to connect to a database directly, or to export the objects as a text file and browse that or to browse a version control folder structure (or an unorganized folder with NAV source code files).
