How To Use Configuration Mode in Dynamics NAV

You maybe know how to assign different Role Centers to Users by using User Personalization by assign users to specific profiles like “Accounting Manager”.

But Sometimes we need to make changes to a particular user like adding certain pages to the Role Center. But this will sound hard work if we go to the development environment, therefore we can achieve this through configuration mode.

Configuration mode is a setting in Microsoft Dynamics NAV that allows customizing the user interface for a specific role.

So we can do the following:

By using Command Prompt or Windows Explorer from the address bar in a browser or from the Run window with the same options you can do the following:

Example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe -Configure -Profile:”Accounting Manager”

– Configure

Starts the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client in configuration mode. You use a configuration mode to configure a profile. To specify which profile to configure, add the -profile parameter.

This command starts the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client in configuration mode for editing the Accounting Manager profile.
