Microsoft Dynamics Courseware Contents Test Your Skills Within the Microsoft Dynamics Training Materials you find a variety of different exercises. These exercises are offered in three levels to accommodate the variety of knowledge and expertise of each student. We suggest you try the level three exercises first, if you need help completing the task look to the information in the level two exercises. If you need further assistance each step of the task is outlined in the level one exercise.

Challenge Yourself! Level 3 exercises are the most challenging. These exercises are designed for the experienced student who requires little instruction to complete the required task.

Need a Little Help? Level 2 exercises are designed to challenge students, while providing some assistance. These exercises do not provide step by step instructions, however, do provide you with helpful hints and more information to complete the exercise.

Step by Step Level 1 exercises are geared towards new users who require detailed instructions and explanations to complete the exercise. Level 1 exercises guide you through the task, step by step, including navigation.

Quick Interaction: Lessons Learned At the end of each chapter within the Microsoft Dynamics Training Material, you find a Quick Interaction: Lessons Learned page. This interaction is designed to provide the student with a moment to reflect on the material they have learned. By outlining three key points from the chapter, the student is maximizing knowledge retention, and providing themselves with an excellent resource for reviewing key points after class.

The chapters in this training manual typically contain the following elements:

• Concepts • Demonstrations • Labs

Demonstrations represent the typical business situations where the application is used. Demonstrations provide a basis for examples that give practical step-by-step descriptions of how to use the application. Labs enable the course participants (manual readers) to practice using the program. The manual includes the following typographic conventions:

• Name is used for names of fields, FastTabs, and windows. • PATHNAME→PATH is used for navigation paths for users to follow.

Dates The dates in the course manual are in the American format. In order to avoid confusion when reading the manual and following the exercises, if necessary, it is a good idea to change the date format in Windows before starting the training session. The working date is set to be 01/28/2010 (January 28, 2010). It is important that this date is used when following the examples and doing the exercises included in the manual, unless instructed otherwise.

Demonstration Data All examples and exercises in this manual are based on a fictitious company, Cronus International Ltd. Where possible, examples and exercises in each chapter are designed independently of each other. However, because of the limited scope of the Cronus demo database, the same data is sometimes used in examples illustrating different functionality. To make sure that you always have a clean demo database, make a copy of the database on the hard disk before you start the course.

License Information To run the examples and exercises included in this training manual, you must have a standard Cronus license. This is provided on the product CD.
