You perform actions in several areas when you customize Enterprise Portal or develop new integrations. The areas that you use will depend on the type of customizations or integrations that you are creating.

SharePoint

Most of the basic development and customization tasks for Enterprise Portal are performed using the web-based development tools in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation or SharePoint Server. SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 can be used, depending on the release of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Tasks like creating new pages or adding Web parts to existing pages are all performed directly in SharePoint.

Note

Enterprise Portal can be used with SharePoint Foundation or with SharePoint Server. Where this documentation refers to SharePoint, be aware that the information applies to both products.

AOT
