This topic applies to Microsoft Dynamics C5 2015 and solutions that use the Simplified UX objects.

Use this guide to prepare a company with setup data that supports the simplified pages and business features in Microsoft Dynamics C5 2015 and solutions using Simplified UX objects. The small-business setup data includes a modified chart of accounts and simplified lists of setup values to suit small wholesale or service businesses.

You will use RapidStart Services to export small-business setup data from the CRONUS demonstration database that is included with Microsoft Dynamics C5 2015 and solutions using Simplified UX objects. Then you will use RapidStart Services to import the small-business setup data into a new company that you create using Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Administration Shell.

  2. On the Application menu Microsoft Dynamics NAV Application menu, choose Select Company.
