More Than Just a Pretty Face: The Value of Creating New Dasboards: The NAV Reporting blog offers a report on harnessing new capabilities in creating dashboards: "Based on reporting services and NAV data source it is possible to create dashboards for every department. This offers a perfect extension to the default charts directly in the role center. The report shows you one example based on the sales department to get a quick and/or deep overview about the current situation. If you are a developer you can also use the report for learning purposes:
  • Use charts
  • Use coding in expression
  • Use DrillDown
  • Use own color palette in charts
Developer's Toolkit Receives Overhaul: The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Team Blog announces a few new partner tools for  Dynamics NAV 2009: "The Developer's Toolkit (NDT) has also received a quick overhaul and now supports field groups. If you don't know NDT already, you should look to the NDT if you are looking for a Source Analysis tool or a Compare and Merge tool. It is recommended that you use version NDT_v3.00.400 if you are using it in connection with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009."
