Chapter 4: Best Practices—GUI

The user interface plays a vital role in the usability of an ERP system and affects the user's productivity. The user-interface standards for Dynamics AX are largely based upon the following standards:

  • Dynamics AX user assistance best practices
  • Windows user experience guidelines

The objective of Dynamics AX user-interface standards is to ensure consistency with the core Dynamics AX application and minimum overriding of Dynamics AX defaults.

We will discuss how to meet the above objectives and the best practices with which we need to comply. The following topics will be clear after reading this chapter:

  • Various GUI best practices
