FastTrack Wizard

The FastTrack Wizard guides you through each of the FastTrack modules. You can enable each solution separately and select the appropriate settings for each.

You can find the wizard in the Departments menu:

Departments -> Dime.Studio -> Dime.Scheduler -> Connector

The wizard is also accessible from the action ribbon on the DS Setup page.

Configuring the connection

The first step after the welcome message is to configure the connection settings between NAV and Dime.Scheduler.

Let's go over the fields one by one.

• SourceApp: the source application code identifies data sent from a Dynamics NAV company to Dime.Scheduler, allowing the latter to send planning data back to the right company. By default, the FastTrack Wizard generates a SourceApp code based on the company name but you can modify this to any other value.

  If you connect multiple companies, from the same or different databases, or other applications, to a single installation of Dime.Scheduler then ensure that the SourceApp code is unique for each back office application connected to Dime.Scheduler.

• API Type: select "REST Service" for Dime.Scheduler 2017 or above and "Web service" for any version prior to that.

• Scheduler Url: enter the URI to the Dime.Scheduler Web Service. This URI is the same for all companies or applications that are connected with the same installation of Dime.Scheduler.

  The URI has the following format:

  • For Dime.Scheduler 2017 or above: http://<servername:port number>/
  • For any version prior to that: http://<servername:port number>/webservices/DimeScheduler.svc?singleWsdl

  Replace <servername:port number> by the name or IP address of the server on which Dime.Scheduler is installed and optionally add the port number if this is required. Ask your network administrator for the right settings.

• Scheduler User: only required for Dime.Scheduler 2017 or above. Enter the user name with which you will connect. Please note that this user must exist in Dime.Scheduler and must be a "Forms" user. Windows and Azure AD users are not supported for the integration services.

• Scheduler Password: only required for Dime.Scheduler 2017 or above. Enter the password for the user specified above.

• Connection Tested: before proceeding, you must validate the connection settings: click on "No" (or click on the "Test Connection" button when using the NAV Classic Client). When the connection is successful "Connection Tested" is updated to "Yes" and the "Next" button of the wizard becomes available. If you receive an error message check the entered connection settings and contact your network administrator or the person who installed Dime.Scheduler to obtain the correct settings.

Configuring the Fast Track solutions

In the next steps of the wizard, you will be able to configure each of the FastTrack modules.

When you close the wizard page the data you have already entered is stored in the database but no further actions are taken. The following dialog will be shown. Select "Yes" if you want to close the wizard page.

When you click "Finish" in the last step of the FastTrack Wizard, you are prompted to update the configuration. Selecting "No" returns you to the wizard page, selecting "Yes" starts the configuration process in NAV.

At the end of the configuration update you are asked to "Synchronize with Dime.Scheduler". It is highly recommended to run the synchronization as this sends the created configuration including resources, work centers and machine centers to Dime.Scheduler. If you don't synchronize with Dime.Scheduler now, you can always choose to run the synchronization at a later moment.
