Hi all,

I have created a role center and I have tagged some particular pages and reports to be seen by that particular user.

But when I login this newly created role center, I am getting Departments option in Naviation so that the user is confused and the client is asking me to hide this option.

Is it possible to hide the Department in Navigation pane or rename it as Shortcut?

If anyone know how to hide/rename the department option in navigation pane in NAV 2009 RTC, Kindly tell me the steps to achieve this

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chandru.

    AFAIK, the "Department" menu cannot be hidden nor can it be renamed.

    hi,

    MS released an hotfix last summer to addres this issue:

    https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersourc ... ull-Screen Mode

    and the hotfix download:
    https://mbs2.microsoft.com/Knowledgebas ... moyrxpstpq


    it allows you to open the RTC in Full Screen mode, with or without the Navigation Pane.
    I have tried it in a production environment and it works fine.
    Good luck with it.

    Hi Gulli,

    I have tried to download the hotfix and apply it in my NAV 2009 SP1. Then, in the command prompt I run 
    Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe –ShowNavigationpage:0
    . But it show me :
    Microsoft Dynamics NAV
    Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.
    OK

    Could you help me to solve this? Thanks before :)
    Best regards,

    Joanna,

    This seems not to work from the command prompt.
    Try to do it from a shortcut:
    -Create a shortcut for the application
    -add the 'shownavigationpage:0' to the string.

    The same applies for starting the RTC in config mode.

    Good luck with it.

    Thanks Gulli,

    I have tried your suggestion. I have created shortcut of RTC and add "–ShowNavigationpage:0" to the string. But, when I click this shortcut, I got the same error message like before :( :
    Microsoft Dynamics NAV
    Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.
    OK
    Best regards,

    To openthe RoleTailored client in full-screen mode without the navigation window, enter the following command at the command prompt:
    Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.Exe –Fullscreen

    Johanna,

    Did you also change the registry settings as specified in the document accompanying the Hotfix?

    To change the DynamicsNAV protocol so that pages open without the navigation window
    1. Run Regedit.exe with administrator permissions, and then locate the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DYNAMICSNAV\Shell\Open\Command
    2. In the Default value, change the path to the RoleTailored client from:
    C:\....\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe "%1"
    to:
    C:\....\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe –ShowNavigationPage:0 "%1"



    Try to open a specific page with no Navigation pane (in this example p50005):
    -ShowNavigationPage:0 "DynamicsNAV:////Runpage?Page=50005"

    In Dynamics NAV R2 you can configure "Departments" away. Create a profile (or use on the existing) and remove departments. If you do not want the user to add it again you can use startup parm /disablepersonalization to prevent the user from doing any personalization afterwards.

    How to remove departments?
    is it the same fullscreen mode or something else?
    is there any document or blog to do this?

    The dash character in your command line in front of 'Fullscreen' is not a regular dash but unicode character 2013.

    If you use normal dash (Minus sign), in "-Fullscreen" your commandline should work just fine.

    BTW,
    microsoft has released a HF to remove departments.

    I added "–ShowNavigationpage:0" with copy-paste so it result error "Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.". After I change the "-" with minus sign, the error "Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid." is not appear. But there is new error "No page, report, or navigation has been specified in the uri." :(
    Do you have any idea to solve this ?

    I have tried your suggestion to use full-screen mode too
    Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.Exe –Fullscreen
    and it works without any error :)
    Then, RTC is run in full-screen mode but what do you mean with "without the navigation window" ? Because I still see the search box and Navigation Pane (Home, Posted Documents, Departments) :)
