Importing the Insight .fobs — Dynamics NAV 2016

When installing or upgrading the Adapter for Dynamics NAV, determine which of the following .fobs you need to import for each of your databases:

Common2016.fob — Imports codeunits for the publisher and target, and creates tables necessary for publishing and validation.
Note: You always need to import the Common2016.fob.
ScribeProductsAndPrices2016.fob — Creates tables in Dynamics NAV that are used by the template: ScribePriceLevels, ScribeProducts, ScribeSalesPrices. These tables store NAV data in a format that allows the template to integrate the data with Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
This fob is only required for template use. However, the Importing Default Validation Rules procedure, assumes that the tables created by this fob exist. If you do not plan to use the template, edit the scribevalidationrules.txt mentioned in the procedure to remove references to the ScribeProducts, and ScribePrices tables.
Note: Insight templates are no longer supported. However, Adapter instructions associated with the templates remain in the Help for those users who choose to continue to use them.

Importing a .fob

In Dynamics NAV, open the appropriate Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Development Environment.
With the Development Environment open, go to File Import.
Browse to the Dynamics NAV installation directory: ..\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\Service\Add-Ins\Scribe\ScribeModifications.
Choose the .fob file that you want to import and click Open.
