==============



The New Dynamics AX is a big change from the previous releases. The majority of the changes are around the new web based user interface, the new way that you navigate around in the application and also new sets of tools that have come along for the ride.

For those of you that are familiar with the older user interfaces then you may have to learn a couple of new tricks to get around the system like the pro that you are, and for new users of the New Dynamics AX environments then you will probably want as many tips on all the cool things that you are hidden away within the application so that you can quickly become a power user of the system.

I have scoured all of the resources that I have to compile the most useful tips and tricks for the New Dynamics AX and that will be useful to everyone, regardless of if you are a novice to Dynamics AX just trying to get around in the application, or have worked with the previous versions of the system, and are just want to learn the nuances of the new user interface.

Personalizing forms by hiding fields


Not everyone is happy with all of the data that is available on the default forms within Dynamics AX, and that’s expected. Some people want to see less information, others may want to see more. Luckily you can do this directly from the Dynamics AX client and you don’t have to customize the system at all.


The first type or personalization that you may want to do is to hide some of the extra fields that you are not interested in.


How to do it…


For example, if you are on the customers list page, you may not want to see the Extension field. To hide the field, start off by right-mouse-clicking on the field heading.

Then click on the Personalize Extension menu option.

This will open up the Personalization options for the field.

To hide the field, just check the Hide option for the field

Now the field is hidden.
