80313 Dynamics AX 2012 Developer IV
Selected Workflows

Agenda
The Dynamics AX 2012 Development I class looks at the Ax 2012 Development environment and the tools we use in modifying forms (screens), workflows and reports. You will use the tools to modify the AOT (application object tree). Throughout the 5 day class you will use the tools.

We quickly move on to Dynamics AX 2012 Development II (80304) as it is the first language class and has examples. Next we move into Dynamics AX 2012 Development III (80312) as it is the advanced language class. Finally we finish the class with the module specific workflow.
