Feature of the Week for Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011: User Interface - Navigation

User Interface - Navigation

Quick Jump

Why this feature is cool!

In Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011, you can quickly find your way back to the screens or reports recently accessed with the navigation pane.  Accidentally closed a screen?  Ran that report just yesterday? The Navigation pane keeps a history of the screens and reports you have opened, similar to Internet Explorer.  From this the dropdown list, you can jump to the application or the report screen by simply clicking on the “link”.

What does it look like?
