Cumulative Update 18 for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central October’18 on-premises (Application Build 41909, Platform Build 41879)

When you upgrade on-premises deployments to this update, you and your customers must use a new license that covers more scenarios than the one for the original release in October 2018.

Why this new license?

In cumulative update 1 (CU1), we enabled new licensing scenarios so that Business Central is optimized for licenses that have named users. This was not fully supported in the RTM version that was made available on October 1, 2018. Therefore, CU1 requires a new license. You can pull new licenses when you upgrade customers to CU1.

The new licenses are required for CU1 and later versions of Business Central. They are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of Business Central.

What has changed?

In CU1, Business Central supports the product line IDs 49, 74, 75, and 76 for named users. For more information, see Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Pricing and Licensing.

This cumulative update includes all hotfixes and regulatory features that have been released for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including hotfixes and regulatory features that were released in previous cumulative updates.

This cumulative update replaces previously released cumulative updates. You should always install the latest cumulative update.

It may be necessary to update your license after you install this hotfix to gain access to new objects that are included in this or a previous cumulative update. (This applies only to customer licenses.)

Office Integration

Integrating with Microsoft OneNote With Navision 2015

You can set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to work with Microsoft OneNote.

For example, you can use OneNote integration to synchronize notes from a mobile OneNote installation with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You can also use OneNote to share pictures, recordings, and other instructions across a company.

When you set up OneNote integration, you can enable adding notes to a particular record or to a complete page

Note: You cannot set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to work with OneNote in multitenant deployments.

With Microsoft OneNote integration you can attach notes to customers, items, or invoices.

OneNote notes can be created for a specific record, but also for a whole page depending on the setup.

You can attach notes, reminders, or pictures to a specific record such as a customer. You can also create a note attached to a whole page, so there are separate instructions about how to deal with customers, items, or journals.

Pages notes can only be used on pages that are based on a source table. This means that, for example, the Role Center page cannot use page notes.

Note: OneNote integration lets users share their OneNote repository, which means that information in a shared OneNote repository can be read by all persons having access to that repository.

Let’s start with creating background which we will use in Setting up our solution, I am using   Local folders to configure my OneNote.

OneNote-1

Here I have created two Folders

  1. PageNotes
  2. RecordNotes

How to access PageNote & RecordNote.

If OneNote not visible on Pages you can add the same as below:

OneNote-3

To set up OneNote integration for a group of users

  1. In the Search box, enter Profiles, and then choose the related link.
  2. Select the profile to make the OneNote adjustments for.
  3. On the Home tab, choose Edit.
  4. Select the Use Record Notes check box.
  5. In the Record Notebook field, enter the path where Microsoft Dynamics NAV should access the notebook.

OneNote-2

Note: You can find this information in Microsoft OneNote using the File tab. Select the OneNote book that you want to use, this can be shared among the books listed in Notebook Information or you can create a new one. Copy the location path for the notebook.

You may want to use customization to promote the OneNote action to the ribbon for easy accessibility.

If want to us Page Note too follow below steps:

  1. Select the Use Pages Notes check box.
  2. In the Page Notebook field, enter the path where Microsoft Dynamics NAV should access the notebook.
