Does anyone know of sources for info on changes and new features that will be in version 4.0? Microsoft’s PartnerSource doesn’t seem to have much, or maybe I just don’t know where to look…? Thanks, Chandler
This article is a few weeks old (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1556268,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594) it basically says that Navision 4 will look and feel like Outlook. Yonis
Yes, Navision will have Navigation pane looking like one in Office 2003. End users will be able to add their own shortcuts. There are also some visual changes to Order forms, etc.
just found this one in a partnersource mail:
quote:
Microsoft Business Solutions – Navision Business Notification We are happy to announce that Microsoft Navision Business Notification will be released with Microsoft Navision 4.0. Microsoft Navision Business Notifications is functionality with Microsoft Navision that gives customers the ability to automatically send notifications and alerts both internally (to employees) and externally (to suppliers, customers and other business partners). These alerts and notifications are sent via emails, based on business rules set-up within Microsoft Navision. Microsoft Business Notifications helps customers monitor potential deviation of their business processes or status change within their Microsoft Business Solution.
Additionally there will be some Intracompany functionality but as the release date is still “far away”, I guess you’ll have to be patient. Saludos Nils
I thought that this was already partly in place in NA 3.70 in a hotfix?
