Get this RSS feed)
On March 23rd and 24th TechDays Sweden will take place in Orebro. Eric Wauters (Waldo) came up with the briliant idea to volunteer to present NAV 2009 to the crowd and asked if I was interested to help. And so I did. And against all odds our presentation was selected. So we have to go. So for all the...
In this concluding assessment of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, I focus on the Page Designer and the RDLC Reports. I end with an overview of the application's benefits. The Page Designer With Dynamics NAV 2009, two new designers were introduced. One of them is the Page Designer. This designer is used...
In Part 1 of this three-part evaluation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, I provided a generally positive assessment of the Role Tailored Interface. In this Part 2, an examination of The Service Tier and the Transformation Tool, I am somewhat less enthusiastic. The Service Tier Whereas the new Service...
The version name says all; 2009. It has been a year since the release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, making it time for a thorough evaluation. At this moment I have two customers ready to go live on January 1. One with Dynamics NAV CRM and one with NAV Financials and an add-on. For this add-on, we used the...
Ever noticed the grouping in your homeitems? I did, and today I decided to find out. If you go to your Activities page of your role center (in my case the Purchase Agent Activities) you see the cues that are defined. Most cues are flowfields in the source. To open the correct page on clicking they have...
Yes! It is possible! This has always been a difficult trick, even in the good old classic client where youl'd use the dirty timer to do this, but in the RTC it is much, much easier. So what do I mean... and why am I so entousiastic. Let's say you have added the total document amount as a flowfield...
When you are on a Role Center you often see the New This and New That option... Today I wanted to make one of my own and discovered a new property with a weird name. Let's create a New Vendor property on this page. Let's attach the Vendor Card page to this action... And test... You'll see...
Today I spent some time at a customer creating a new role center for Dynamics NAV CRM users. One of the challenges we had was to create a My To-Do list on the Role Center that was based on the actual table. All went well until we started to test and compare to My Customers. We could not get the double...
Again, this is a tip comming directly from one of the key users in my current RTC implementation. When you open a list page from the Role Center you'll get an embedded page. You can release this embedded page by clicking actions, Open in New Window. And voila, This way they can keep the page open...
For consultants it might be nessesairy every now and then to change Role Center for testing purposes. You can change your Role Center in table 2000000073 - User Personalization and page 9172 - User Personalization Card But to go there is quite a hassle. So I decided to add this to my Database Information...
We al know this blog entry of Waldo. It shows you how you can see what database you are logged onto. Now with the Role Tailored Client we have the same issue. All these years of R&D at Microsoft and no one had a brigt moment of implementing this. Off course you can see the companyname very clear...
Last week I created my first RTC report. An exiting experience I can say. To be honest I was not really looking forward, but as it went I became more and more entousiastic. As most of you know the RTC reports use a dataset. This dataset is a XML file that is rendered in a SSRS like way. The basics for...
One of the great things about the Role Tailored Client is it's intuivity. People who have never worked with NAV can handle the client perfectly. As I was going through some issues with an enduser two weeks ago this became clear to me again. You might know that the RTC always starts with an embeded...
The NAV 2009 role tailored client has this great feature called the action pane. This allows you to execute tasks on a page that used to be the menubuttons in the classic client. The major advantage of this action pane is that it's more clear to the end user (intuitive) and the end user can modify...
This was the last day of directions USA 2009 but when writing it was yesterday. Currently I am at the airport waiting for my plane to leave. Together with me is my friend Sam Adams from this town called Draft. Directions USA 2009 was a great event. The sessions were very highly evaluated and deep dive...
