The latest version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a powerful tool that boasts a simpler, and more efficient user experience. The new user interface is clean and streamlined, helped by an array of features meant to enhance usability; but the product reviews have confirmed that users, especially those coming from previous versions of CRM, are having a difficult time with the new navigation.
Cobalt is upgrading customers every month from CRM 2011 to CRM 2013, CRM 2015 and CRM Online and one of the most common challenges is user adoption of the new menu. If you’re worried about getting lost in a sea of things shiny and new from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013/2015 update, we’ve found a solution that will cater to you and your users’ needs.
Easy Navigate is a powerful add-on that will allow you to create and customize a dashboard of the CRM site map. Easy Navigate allows you to filter out the menus you don’t use and instead highlights those most visited modules.
