The Designs form provides a historical overview of Lasernet designs, and it can be accessed in two ways:
Navigate to Lasernet > Common > Reports, select the desired report, and click Designs in the Configuration group of the Setup ribbon.
Navigate to Lasernet > Setup > Overview > Designs.
In this section, we will choose the first option and access the Designs form via the Reports list page. Here, all Lasernet Developer form designs are stored locally.
These designs can be imported or created using functions such as What’s used and Update design.
The following image shows two designs imported from Lasernet. The Description they receive is “Imported design”.
The report named Version3 has been created by clicking Update design > Create new design version. This saves the new version with the Description “Updated design in D365 Design updated”.
