Posted: May 29, 2013 | Author: kpeters | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: chart generator, learning, NAV 2013, NAVUG | Leave a comment

As a NAV super user at my company, I’m constantly learning new things about NAV and bringing that information back to my coworkers. Even after using NAV for quite a few years, I sure don’t know everything, and there is always some new thing to discover by attending NAVUG webinars, browsing blogs on the web, or just watching over someone’s shoulder as they do a task.

I’m focusing on learning about NAV2013 this year so I can be prepared for the next step in the NAV upgrade progression for my company. One of the things I’m really curious about is how to generate those nifty looking charts in NAV2013.

I found some great videos out there on YouTube done by Rick Baxter of Cost Control Software. Take a look!

Learning about NAV2013: CustomerSource guide to resources

If you are already a Microsoft Dynamics NAV customer and you’re current on your maintenance plan you need to go to CustomerSource to get access to NAV2013 training manuals that are just waiting for you to find them.

For versions prior to NAV2013, CustomerSource has published an Overview of Training Manuals as well as a Learning Plan for each version which made it easy to find all of the resources available for that version. For some reason, they have chosen not to do that with NAV2013 which does make the manuals a good deal more difficult to locate. I’ve found if you know the Course Number for the training materials you want to find you can get to them quickly by using the search box on the left hand navigation bar. Simply type in the course number, for example, 80534, and you’ll be taken directly to those training materials which you can immediately download.
