Establishing a connection with NAV

Web service URL​

All planning activities in Dime.Scheduler are immediately sent to the NAV Web Service where they are processed through the NAV business logic. 2 objects of the Dime.Scheduler add-on need to be added to the Web Service setup in NAV. The objects will be added automatically when running the FastTrack Wizard.

To add them manually, add the following objects to the NAV web services setup:

NAV

Make sure to use the same service Name (Appointment) and to only publish the page.

Credentials​

There are a few ways to authenticate to a NAV instance:

  • This guide walks you through the process of obtaining a web service access key.
  • The traditional way is to use the user name and password of the service account that can access NAV.

Dime.Scheduler supports two authentication protocols to establish a connection with NAV:

  • Basic authentication
  • Windows (NTLM/Kerberos)

By default, Windows auth is used. To instruct Dime.Scheduler to use basic authentication, prepend basic= to the login field value.

Source App​

The source app must be the same as the value that's specified in the Dime.Scheduler FastTrack Wizard in Business Central. The source app identifies which back-office system resources, tasks and appointments belong to.

Send appointments​

When disabled, Dime.Scheduler will not send the planned appointments back to Business Central for this connector.
