Microsoft has released the preview of its latest Dynamics AX 7 (Rainier) for the community. The Public release of AX 7 is available anytime soon (expected in the 1st quarter of 2016).

By now many of you are already aware that AX 7 is web based and is accessed through a web browser. This is a major change from AX 2012 (Desktop based).

Although AX 7 is based on Web. Microsoft managed to fit it with certain keyboard shortcuts to facilitate a user friendly interface. Keyboard shortcuts are very important for an ERP to allow faster data entry by users.
