Step 1 of 18Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is Microsoft's flagship enterprise resource planning system and can be accessed by a web browser.
2
Step 2 of 18Once accessed, the workspaces are displayed on the main page.
3
Step 3 of 18These workspaces give users a quick and easy way to view data and functions for all specific modules.
4
Step 4 of 18As an example, by accessing the general journal processing workspace, I have tiles in the summary area.
5
Step 5 of 18I have general journals in various statuses, as well as links to particular analysis reports, setup, and other first-class features.
6
Step 6 of 18The modules, as well as other options, can be found in the navigation pane on the side.
7
Step 7 of 18Such as favorites, recently accessed menu items, all workspaces, as well as the modules.
8
Step 8 of 18For each of the modules, the functions and options are generally divided into: menu items, inquiries and reports, as well as setup.
9
Step 9 of 18Menus, forms, and functionality can be granted and restricted by security roles and securities.
10
Step 10 of 18Therefore, particular users might not necessarily have access to setup modules, but they will have access to the menu items, functions, and reports.
11
Step 11 of 18Navigation in D365 can be made even simpler by either: marking particular menu items as favorites, including reports or inquiries.
12
Step 12 of 18Therefore, under the favorites area, from the navigation pane, they are now displayed.
13
Step 13 of 18We can take this one step further. Having a particular page, we can actually personalize and add it to an existing workspace.
14
Step 14 of 18We simply select the workspace from the top-down list, and choose to have it presented as a tile, a list, or a link.
15
Step 15 of 18This has already been done for this particular page, so if I go to my purchase order receipt and follow-up workspace, not only do I have the summary tiles, pending work which is outstanding, orders not invoiced, I also have links to inquiries, reports, or any other features available.
16
Step 16 of 18These pages can also be personalized to add existing fields as columns to the grid.
17
Step 17 of 18A nice feature of this is that an entire grid can also be exported into Microsoft Excel.

Step 18 of 18This concludes the introduction to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
