NAV 2013 R2 | Personalised Splash Screen

Ok, here I am in Seattle for MVP summit with a nine hour jetlag, alone because Waldo did not run fast enough to catch the flight.

So what do you do, you take a beer and blog.

We all know Personalisation in the Windows Client, but with NAV 2013 R2 this is taken to a whole new level.

NAV 2013 R2 allows you to have a personalised Splash Screen.

If you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\71\RoleTailored Client\Images you’ll see that there are images like Splash.png and Header.png. There is also a Splash-C5.png.

Yes, you are guessing where this is going to. This allows us to rebrand NAV to C5.

These images come provided with the product.

But you can also do your own stuff:

Cool isn’t it?

Now off course this is very useful in hosting scenario’s where people want to add their brand to the product.

And it might also be useful when NAV will replace AX and GP in the time to come. (Or am I now typing this because of the beer…)
