Back then, one of the ways to get Navision lighter was to "wipe out" needless UI elements with respect to the Elba user license, which obviously would have been much more restricted than the average user license used to be in those days, he adds.

"The thought up technical solution was to process all forms based on this Elba user license in such a way that all these needless UI controls would be removed from the object when building the application. Hence the eventual form objects would often be much lighter than their original version. In a way it resembles the UI Elements Removal feature that NAV 2015 entails even though they are technically totally different."
