Walkthrough: Configuring the Order Processor Role Center

[アーティクル]
09/24/2014

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client provides a customizable user interface that you can modify to support the job functions of different work roles in your organization. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client offers over 20 predefined Role Centers. To be able to configure a Role Center, you must be an administrator with the SUPER role. The difference between configuration and personalization is that configuring a Role Center changes the user interface for all users who have the same profile, whereas personalizing a Role Center only changes the user interface for a single user.

Configuration tasks are typically performed by an administrator, SUPER user, or Microsoft partner. This person configures the Microsoft Dynamics NAV user interface (Role Center) to suit a specific role, and then assigns users to the Role Center.

About This Walkthrough

This walkthrough provides examples of how to configure the existing Order Processor Role Center in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This walkthrough illustrates the following tasks:

Opening the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client in configuration mode.

Configuring the Ribbon

The ribbon in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client is a dynamic pane that changes according to the page that is currently loaded.

In the Search box, enter Sales Orders, and choose the related link to open the Sales Orders page.
In the Application menu, choose Customize, and then choose Customize Ribbon.
In the Available actions list, select Help, and then Page Notes.
Under Show actions in this order, expand Home, choose Process, and then choose the Add button to move Page Notes to the Process group.
Choose the OK button to save and close the window.

Configuring the FactBox Pane

FactBoxes are smaller windows that contain information related to the current main window. They appear on the right of the page. The following procedure demonstrates how to add FactBoxes to the FactBox pane. The FactBoxes that are available vary according to what has been linked to the page.

To configure the FactBox pane

In the Search box, enter Sales Orders, and then choose the related link to open the Sales Orders page.
In the Application menu, choose Customize, and then choose Choose FactBoxes.
From the Available FactBoxes pane, select Links, and then choose the Add button.

Next Steps

In this walkthrough, you have configured the Home menu and the FactBox pane for the Order Processor Role Center. These are just two options that you have for changing the user interface of a role center to better fit a specific profile in your company.

All users of the profile see these changes. If you want more specific user settings and changes, each user of the Role Center can personalize their view by adding or removing functionality that they use often or less frequently.
