briansittleyWe’re narrowing our blog scope a bit today to address an issue often of interest specifically to users of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP software system.
On the NAV platform, Microsoft offers two general kinds of “users”: the “full user” has access to all the functionality and screens of the entire NAV system to which their license entitles them. The limited user, as the name implies, has less ability when it comes to the ability to write back to tables (i.e., perform day-to-day transactions) in NAV. As you might expect, the limited users cost considerably less than the full users, thus meriting the attention of system buyers, who can save quite a bit of money if they are able to use limited users in some cases.
Typically, system purchasers of NAV will initially acquire one of two levels of NAV: either the “Starter Pack” or the “Extended Pack.” The starter pack offers less functionality for a lower overall cost. It is within your chosen “pack” that the distinction is then made between full and limited users.
With that as a backdrop, here’s a little more on the distinctions between and limited.
Both Full and Limited users have full “read” abilities. The Limited users, however, have limited “write” abilities. And since full users run around $3,000 apiece and limited users run around $600, it’s an important distinction: if a limited user is right for you, the savings can be substantial.
Limited users have read access to any data contained in NAV but they can only write to a maximum of three table objects – although there are certain tables they are not allowed to write directly.
A CEO might be a good example of a limited user. They probably want to see all that data but don’t necessarily need to post transactions within the system. If you can get away with limited users, you’ll save money.
Just be sure you know what your limited users are going to need to post to before you purchase them because sometimes that three-table limit is somewhat confining. Consult your reseller for details, as always.
Better integration and new opportunities
The integration to the other Microsoft products has been improved in NAV 2018. This means that there are even more options for utilizing Dynamics NAV functionality in other Microsoft applications, such as Office 365 and Power BI. For example, it is possible to create an order in NAV from Outlook.
New and improved Power BI integration
In NAV 2018, the out-of-box integration to Power BI has been improved. Not only at role center level, but at a more contextual level, Power BI integration is enhanced across Dynamics NAV.
Artificial intelligence
The first step towards utilizing and integrating AI (artificial intelligence) in Dynamics NAV was taken with access to machine learning for sales and stock forecasts in NAV 2017.
Dynamics NAV 2018 provides more opportunities for utilizing artificial intelligence in the NAV through Cognitive Services (cognitive intelligence). This means that Navision is now in a better position to recognize, learn, remember and take a position on information.
Cognitive Services
Cognitive computing is a common term describing the utilization of technology platforms based on AI (Artificial Intelligence). In NAV 2018, it means, among other things, that the solution can analyze an image, such as an item, automatically identify the item on the image and subsequently place this item in a concrete and correct context or category with other related items.
The service can also be used in HR context to analyze an image of an employee which is evaluated and catagorized, for example by gender and age.

Improved mobility
The effective opportunities that can be achieved by using Dynamics NAV through mobile devices that was introduced in NAV 2017, is enhanced by Microsoft in NAV 2018. The new enhanced universal app for NAV 2018 makes the system further platform-independent. This means that the ability to use NAV, regardless of which type of device that is the preferred to use and where and when it suits each individual to use it, has been significantly improved.
The mobile application for NAV 2018 thus gives greater freedom to each individual employee and more flexibility. However, it is not only the mobile application that has gotten a boost, but the web client has also been significantly improved with a more user-friendly and manageable user interface.
Enhanced user interface
The user interface in NAV 2018 is made more user-friendly and is, among other things, improved with graphs, statistics and customer reviews that provide a quick overview of the company.
Task Tools
The new task tools in NAV 2018 makes it possible to increase productivity and progress for projects and tasks. The tools provides an overview and an opportunity to see the next steps in the tasks, get information about which employees are responsible for what part of the assignment, etc.
