New Dynamics AX (AX 7) is web based. Its navigation layout is different than Dynamics Ax 2012.
Writing of this blog post, I am using Dynamics Ax 7 CTP8 beta version, so possible later version will have better navigation layout.
Lets explore what Current version offers us.
When we login into AX 7 web page. The first page or dashboard appears shows us multiple workspace. These workspace are depended on login user role.
Currently I am login with administrator user. So It will show all workspaces. Consider following screenshot.
Dashboards central area shows the multiple workspace links based on role of login user.
Left section contains a calendar, favorites and recently used pages. Calendar shows us current date. If click on any date, pop up message ask to change the session date.
On favorite tab, can be find all favorite page linked, which select as favorite, this feature helps user to go on specific page directly on which he most frequently works.
Next to it Recent, Here Dynamics Ax shows all forms you recently visited inside Dynamics Ax. It is some kind of history.
From right side or right section user can find all links to records which are assigned to him or her as result of workflow submission.
If we see top menu bar It will contains legal entry change, universal search and module menu. In below screenshot I attached different points to described in more detail.
Point 1: If we click Dynamics Ax button, this will lead us on dashboard page or home page.
Point 2: Click on Icon pointed in 2. This will shows us pop up menu, which take us different modules and there respected forms.
