Updated 50 Tips in 50 Minutes Video Library

Posted: October 8, 2017 | Author: kpeters | Filed under: Uncategorized |Leave a comment

Hard to believe that I’ve been doing the 50 Tips in 50 Minutes presentation at NAVUG Summit for the fifth year in a row! The session has become so popular, that for the first year ever, I actually get the privilege of presenting the session twice in 2017.

I’ve decided to consolidate all the tips so far into a single place so you can find them more easily instead of by year. They’re all listed below, and you can always go to the Popular Series tab on the main menu to find them, as well as other frequently visited series like Account Schedules 101 and 15 Days of Dimensions.

Most of the videos were recorded in NAV 2013 with a few in NAV2015. In the next three months, I’ll be updating all the videos to Dynamics NAV 2017, along with adding about a dozen brand new tips.

Enjoy!
