Great Product - Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 explore engage elevate

Tablet Experience • In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, • we have launched Microsoft Dynamics NAV for modern Windows, Microsoft Dynamics NAV for i. Pad and Microsoft Dynamics NAV for Android, which allow users in small and midsized businesses to get access to the data they need from the device they prefer. • While the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client and Dynamics NAV Web Client are designed for mouse and keyboard interaction, Dynamics NAV for tablets has a modern, fast and fluid interface built exclusively for touch. • Customers run dynamic businesses. Our strategy is founded on the premise that a single app cannot possibly satisfy every customer’s unique and changing needs. We therefore provide the building blocks so that partners can easily craft beautiful, role-tailored experiences for tablets. Developing new content for tablets becomes a simple task, without the maintenance headache of different devices or platforms. In fact, Microsoft Dynamics NAV for tablets is entirely powered by your Dynamics NAV server, including the tables, pages and business logic you already use today. Because this is all built upon the same technology as the Dynamics NAV Web Client, you will install, configure, secure, license, and extend in the same manner. explore engage elevate

Benefits Tablet Experience Why end-users will love it explore engage elevate

User Experience Enhancements • In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, • we have introduced a new feature called Enhanced Cues. • Enhanced Cues are special cue tiles that apply custom formatting to any computed numerical value such as the number of open sales invoices and a custom tile icon (or no icon). • Enhanced Cues can also show an indicator that changes color based on the data values that the tile reflects. This provides a visual signal of the status of the data based on conditions for favorable and unfavorable thresholds. For example, the tile can show a red bar if the number of open sales invoices is less than 5. • The initial thresholds for the visual clues are set by an administrator or super user, but the end user can modify them to better fit their workflow or situation. explore engage elevate

Benefits User Experience Enhancements explore engage elevate

Simplicity • In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, Simplifications • We have introduced four features called Mandatory Fields, Auto-fill the No. Field, Totals on Documents, and UI Elements Removal, all of which support a simplified user experience. • For the end-user performing a task infrequently, the user interface can sometimes seem very complex, so we have introduced these features to help these users perform their tasks more efficiently. The simplifications make pages easier to read and navigate in and make tasks easier and faster to perform. “Simplified UX” • In addition, we are shipping a set of simplified pages and related objects under the name of Simplified UX contains simplifications with focus on basic sales and purchase scenarios for smaller businesses. • Partners can use Simplified UX to build their solutions upon, whether it is an extension, a modification, or just a part of the Simplified UX that is being used. explore engage elevate

Benefits Simplicity explore engage elevate

More Office 365 Integration • In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, We have introduced open standard to authorization (Oauth) support on Microsoft Dynamics NAV web services (OData and SOAP) to support integration with Power BI and enable the sharing of BI content using refreshable Microsoft Dynamics NAV data feeds in O 365. explore engage elevate

Benefits More Office 365 Integration explore engage elevate

Document Reporting • Introducing Microsoft Word as a report layout option • Customers and partners ask for a Word solution, a well-known tool that can produce superb looking document reports. • Word provides an easy self-service/customization story. • Word is a natural companion for a Microsoft ERP system, and aligns well with our tight integration to Office and O 365. • Supports tenant specific layouts • A single report can now have many layouts, either RDLC, Word, or both. • One of the RDLC and Word layouts can be built into the application object and shared by all tenants. • On top of the built-in layout, there can be as many tenant specific customizations as needed, stored in business data. • End users can control which layout for a given report in a solution is the active one. explore engage elevate

Benefits of Document Reporting explore engage elevate

Limitations of Microsoft Word reports • Microsoft Word is not suitable for complex precision layout or very large documents. • Conditionals, for example, for visibility, are not supported. • Number formatting is limited to built-in Microsoft Dynamics NAV number formatting. • Microsoft Word 2013 is required for layout changes. explore engage elevate

What about Report Definition Language Client -side (RDLC)? • Still our main reporting story • RDLC provides a good foundation for report design and is still our strategy moving forward. • RDLC is stronger for conditional and precision layout and for lists, grouping etc. • We are shipping new, simplified RDLC sales document reports • RDLC now also supports end user customization of reports • All RDLC reports can now be customized, tenant specific, by end users. • RDLC reports are customized using the Microsoft SQL Report Builder. explore engage elevate
