New Enhancements in Serenic Navigator

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 features a new Web Client and SharePoint Client, in addition to an improved Windows Client – formerly referred to as the RoleTailored Client. Each “client” can display the role center, giving users three options to access their data, and allowing for improved collaboration with people inside and outside the company. All three are included in the latest Serenic Navigator release:

Web Client: The Web Client allows users to access, enter and update data in Serenic Navigator via a web browser, and is ideal for simple tasks and for users who do not perform heavy data entry. The Web Client is supported by various browsers and devices, including: Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari on iPad. It uses a Simple Server Installation with only IIS required.

Windows Client: This includes significant enhancements to increase user productivity. The improvements in the new Windows Client include: charts, query development, OneNote integration, link sharing, and ribbon enhancements to name a few. The Action Pane has been redesigned and is now referred to as the “ribbon.” The “ribbon” which appears across the top of displays similar to Microsoft Excel and Word, includes new keyboard shortcuts and can be customized to offer users easy, security-enhanced access to relevant, up-to-date information. Additional views on ledger entries have been added to History on department pages to let you create custom views on role centers, and filtering enhancements allow you to use filters on lines of any page. Plus, there are several other enhancements included in the new Windows Client.

SharePoint Client: This provides the same functionality as the Web Client, but access is provided via Microsoft SharePoint. Serenic Navigator pages and reports can be displayed via SharePoint, and allows users who own SharePoint to add Serenic Navigator pages as webparts. This allows you to set up websites through Microsoft SharePoint to share Serenic Navigator data and information with more people inside and outside the company. Enter and update data in the Serenic Navigator database via pages on a SharePoint site.
