New Role Center in AX

How to Create a New Role Centre in Dynamics AX 2009



One of thmost talked about features of AX 2009 is Role Centres... I thought Microsoft did a phenomenal jobypackaging Sharepoint and ax in one box... which resulted in really cootechnology.

As complex as they might seem role centreare actually very simplto use.. and its actually even simpleto creatnewone..

This is a step by step guide thelp users/developers to create and deploy nerole centres.. Ithis example weare going to create a Merchandiser Role Centre
Step 1:

Log in as an Admin and open up EP in internet explorer..

Well you actually dont need to be an admin.. but you need site creation rights in sharepoint and also access to theAOT in ax.


Then click on ‘SitActions’ and select thCreate option

Step 2: select Basic Page..

Note: you might bbetter of select ‘Web Part Page’.. as a basic page would not have any web parts on it... all the standardrole centre pages are Web part pages... I will show you both examples ithis article .. hence I started with thbasic page.(see thAdditional info sectiobelow)

Also I like thbasic pagbecause it loadup a lot faster J


Step 3: in thnext page, type ithe Name of thPag(please use good Naming Convention
Standard)... also make sure that the Document Library is set tEnterprise Portal





Step 4:  as I choose to create a Basic Page a Text editor will pop up..  if I would choose thWeb
Part pages option then this editor would not appear.

Simply type something and click Save... now you would be directed to thnew page.









Step 5: open thAOT in AX and browse down to the Web Menu Item Nod.right click and
select New URL.






Step 6:  Give thURL a name and a Label (please follow std naminconventions) and then click
on the brose icon othURL Property (thbrowse icon is represented by dots).. as showin picture

Then expand the Enterprise Portal folder and find thnew Page you created. Select and click OK






Step 7:  make sure that you set thHomPage Property to Yes..

Iyou dont set this tyes, then thpage will not bavailablithrole canter paglist on the
User profilform (next step)





Save and close thAOT.




Step 8: iAbrowse tAdministration > Setup > User profiles

Create a new record, set thProfilname and description and then select the new Page as throle centre page

Assign users tthe role and your done.




Additional Info:

   You can also export throle centre (user Profile > Export and Export AOT).. thexport AOT optionsmakthrole centre a part of thAOT resource node.. this is helpful if you want to migratthrole centrefrom say a dev environmento a Test Environment.




 
To create a WePart Role centre


Rather than selecting the Basic page option ..select thWeb Part page option






Then give a name and select EP as the Document Library
Notice  I choose to overwritthrole page .. this way I dint havto change my url to point to thWeb part page.

  2. Your car could be stolen if you don't remember this!

    Imagine that your car was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN check"

    A VIN decoder: What is it?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). Additionally, you can find:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Model of a vehicle

    3.The DMV's limitations

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person seated on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What if the VIN is intentionally harmed?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in prison. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
