When you are developing pages, you may want to see how the pages look in the RoleTailored client. You can run and view a RoleTailored client page from Object Designer in the Classic client, or you can use command-line arguments at the command prompt, in the Run window, or in a browser. For each method, the RoleTailored client starts and opens the selected page. For command-line arguments, you have various options for opening the RoleTailored client and its pages in different modes. For example, you can specify a specific server or specific language, or you can create hyperlinks to specific pages in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For more information, see Starting the RoleTailored Client from a Command Prompt and Creating and Running Hyperlinks.

NoteNote

ConfirmationDialog pages cannot be run and previewed by using the methods described in this topic. You can only view ConfirmationDialog pages by invoking them in the RoleTailored client.
