Getting Started With the Automated Data Capture System for Dynamics NAV
By Joseph Gress
 
Automated Data Capture System is a Dynamics NAV granule that allows employees in a warehouse to record various warehouse activities in Dynamics NAV using a rugged portable handheld device.  One such activity is recording that you picked a certain quantity of a certain item from a certain bin location for a particular sales order.

i. Handheld Device User Setup in Dynamics NAV

Initially, the display on the handheld device provides a login screen for the user to enter a user name and password. These users are setup as Database Logins in NAV 2009 and earlier and in the ADCS Users screen in NAV 2013 and later.

A development freeze is wise when upgrading or re-implementing NAV
By Annette Buchal
 
The power of NAV rests in the ability to make real-time changes. For many, changes are done on a daily basis and just the thought of giving up this functionality can put a company in a tailspin. But, when it comes time for an upgrade or re-implementation of NAV, a development freeze is something you'll want to plan for the good of your project and your system.

By Nathan Peters
