What’s New with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Web Client?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2107 and the New Web Client Enhancements

The new Web Client enhancements available with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 is another example of Microsoft’s continued commitment and development to serve the business goals of growing companies. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a robust business solution that continues to be enhanced every year. It has a strong reputation for being quick to implement, easy to use and has the power to support your business ambitions. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 key highlights are integration and simplicity. This latest release offers significant enhancements to the core application including upgraded functionality such as NAV’s Web Client.

What is the Microsoft Dynamics 2017 Web Client?

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client gives users access to Microsoft Dynamics NAV data over a network, such as the Internet. The browser based design allows users to access NAV over the internet from anywhere with no client installation. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017, you can take advantage of improvements to the Web Client, a first-class interface for desktop users.

The Web Client suits the needs of most users across an organization, whether they are using a PC or Mac. Continuing the significant improvements from 2016 to simplicity, productivity, and performance, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 simplifies the experience even further, in particular for novice users.
By accessing NAV’ information over the internet, for example, users can view and modify data from a user-friendly interface that resembles the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, where the starting point is the Role Center. The Role Center can be customized to users’ individual needs based on their role, company, and daily tasks.

Unlike the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client, you do not have to install any Microsoft Dynamics NAV components on devices that users will use to access Microsoft Dynamics NAV data. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client does not replace the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client but complements it by enabling scenarios that are not possible with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client for a visual overview of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client.

The Web Client in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Provides:

Improved Visibility: Use wizards to learn new concepts or simplify data entry. Take immediate action on contextual notifications. Use redesigned tool tips to remind yourself about fields and actions, while you work. 

All New Experiences: Switch views to see and identify your list of records, including picture thumbnails in different sizes. 

The Ability to have Windows Client Favorites: Use popular shortcuts – press Escape to instantly exit a page, or use F5 to refresh the latest data in your browser, without fully reloading the page.

Increase Simplicity: Work without distractions as the View and Edit actions are collapsed into one, and the Previous and Next Record actions are hidden. The ribbon always starts out expanded if the page has a Home tab

Supported browsers for the Dynamics NAV 2017 Web Client are:

• Microsoft Edge
• Internet Explorer
• Google Chrome for Windows
• Mozilla Firefox for Windows
• Safari on OSX
