Adding an Image to a Role Center Page to Fill the Content Area on Tablets

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV team says with the introduction of the new Dynamics NAV tablet client, developers are trying to find ways to create simple Role Centers that are ideal for use on small-screen mobile devices. The team says that if your Role Center has a few cues but no content, a simple way to make it look great and personal is to add a company.

The team points out that this feature is implemented only for the Role Center pages in the Dynamics NAV Tablet client.

"Step 1: Set up the Role Center page that is used by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client

"As an example I will modify the existing Order Processor Role Center page and remove all content parts. The modified page will now look as illustrated below.

"Note that the content page must contain either image or content parts. Cues are considered navigation elements which is why the SO Processor Activities part or any other part containing cues can only be added to the Role Center page in this particular scenario."
