9/5/2018 9:13 PM
What is Different
No Dynamics GP Button
No Menu Bar
Can’t Edit Navigation Pane Shortcuts
All Navigation is done via Area Pages
Working with Multiple Windows is Different
Can’t Move or Resize Windows
No Keyboard Shortcuts (CTRL-L, ALT-S, etc.)
Notes:
You can add Navigation Lists to the Navigation Pane as Shortcuts. But once you add them, there does not seem to be a way to remove them.
You can add/edit/delete Navigation Pane Shortcuts from the Desktop Client and those changes will show up in Web Client.
Use Rockton SmartFill to replace CTRL-L
