The Windows Client (WC) interface


As mentioned in the beginning of this chapter, one of the key user interface design considerations for Dynamics NAV is consistency. The consistent user interface is designed to make it easier for existing users to teach new hires how to use Dynamics NAV. This will allow the company to gain productivity from new hires more efficiently.

Additionally, the design concepts of Dynamics NAV fit in with the "look and feel" of other Microsoft products. Users familiar with using Windows will find it comfortable to use Dynamics NAV.

Microsoft is serious about this consistency, and even published a guideline for third-party developers that wish to create add-ons for Dynamics NAV. So even if you purchase any add-ons along with your solution, you can safely assume that the user will not notice that they're not using base Dynamics NAV. To learn a little more about the User Experience Guideline, go to the following site:
