Start the Role Tailored Client The biggest change in Microsoft Dynamics NAV from version 5.0 to version 2009 is the introduction of the new RoleTailored user interface (UI). The RoleTailored design provides you with a quick overview of the information relevant to your job and gives you the ability to focus, prioritize and apply your expertise.

The new task-oriented navigation structure reduces the complexity of information the user has to sift through and allows them to focus on the key work areas for their role in their company. The Role Center links them to the processes in which they participate. On list places, the tasks and information relevant to their goals in a work process are displayed together in one window. The tasks for each process step are available in task pages. The Action Pane promotes those commands the user accesses most frequently within a given context. FactBoxes reduce searching by offering the user all the information they need for a given context in one window. Furthermore, they have the possibility of customizing all of these parts of the program to make them better fit the user's needs.
