Microsoft Dynamics NAV Connector
Connecting Dynamics NAV to Dime.Scheduler wires up traffic in both directions: NAV sends its jobs, tasks and resources to Dime.Scheduler, and Dime.Scheduler sends the planning you do back. This works for all supported NAV versions, including C/AL-based (objects) Business Central installations. Anything version-specific is flagged inline.
The setup runs in three parts. First, everything inside NAV:
- Import the Dime.Scheduler objects into NAV
- Update the standard objects for the solutions you'll use
- Run the FastTrack Wizard to connect NAV to Dime.Scheduler
- Publish the web service NAV exposes to Dime.Scheduler
Then, on the Dime.Scheduler side:
- Configure the connector so Dime.Scheduler can write back to NAV
Two optional steps round it off for production:
- Configure security in NAV
- Set up the job queue to keep master data fresh
Objects
Import the Dime.Scheduler add-on objects into Dynamics NAV and apply FastTrack standard object updates.
Connection with Dime.Scheduler
Run the NAV FastTrack Wizard to connect Dynamics NAV to Dime.Scheduler and enable modules.
Connection with NAV
Configure Dime.Scheduler connector settings so it can write appointments back to Dynamics NAV.
Security
Assign NAV roles and permissions required for the Dime.Scheduler integration user.
Configure job queue
Schedule the DS Scheduled Synch codeunit in the NAV job queue to refresh Dime.Scheduler master data.
