  Introduction: As you know that D365 BC offers Edit in Excel functionality. But manipulating or customizing such a  standard functionality is difficult as there is not much control available.

Introduction: The story starts with one of our clients who want to have Jet Report installed along with Dynamics 365 Business Central. After procuring the licenses, the client realizes he needs to connect Jet Reports to his home PC as well which may cost an additional license cost since Jet Report uses O365/M365 and Device Details as well to register its client. This means that it is not totally remote like Business Central(SaaS).
