A quick post for answering a user question regarding an error when connecting to his NAV server instance using the Role Tailored Client. The error that appears is: The FaultCode = ‘InvalidSecurity’ error is sometimes tricky to understand. The first thing that you can think is checking the user credentials and the service tier account, but if you’re doing so you’re not on the right road.

One of the coolest features of Dynamics 365 Business Central that for sure you’ve already seen in a classic demo is the in-client customization. When you access D365BC (and you’ve permission to do so) if you open for example the Customer Card and click on the top right gear, you have the option to personalize the user interface (customer card) directly in the browser: When clicking on Personalize , you can move the fields between tabs or hide them: If you click on More you can also add fields that you’ve previously removed to the page: This is a cool feature because a consultant…

In the past days many Microsoft Flow users noted that, when creating a new workflow connected to a Dynamics NAV 2018 entity, some triggers were missing.

To help clarifying the situation: existing workflow connected to NAV 2018 will still work and you should be able to create new ones if you have an active workflow in place. Microsoft…

When talking about Microsoft Dynamics NAV installed on Azure, we have mainly two choices: use an Azure VM with SQL Server installed or use Azure SQL. In the Azure-based NAV deployments I see every day, it seems that using SQL Server on an Azure VM is the choice where everyone are going or prefer. However, too often I see that the installation is done like an on-premise SQL or without considering some important best practices and SQL performances are poor.
