New Dynamics AX feature: Workspaces
Workspaces in the new Dynamics AX are designed to remove this stop and start process in productivity by keeping the top 5 functions related to a user’s job function always accessible in a single window.
Think of a Workspace as a mini application that is designed to help a user focus on the most important aspects of their job. Workspaces have basically replaced the role center, as well as the common area menus in AX 2012 R3. The Workspace is focused on the tasks required for the user’s job. Your employees should be able to view and act on what they need from the workspace's single window.
Workspaces are formed depending on the login user’s role much like role centers in AX 2012 R3.

However, in Dynamics AX Workspaces, a few more seamless pre-built workspaces have been added. They include:
- Environmental Manager
- Operations Manager
- Production Manager
- Shop Supervisor
From these new workspaces, you can see that Dynamics AX really is a benefit to manufacturers and MRO's.
Dynamics AX is easily customized. If the workspace is not already created, it can be created to work the way your company works. The process is called personalizing your workspaces.
Microsoft created “Workspaces” in the cloud with the goal of enabling your people to be more productive with one activity-based window. The workspaces provide a task-specific experience that integrates easily with D365 and other collaborative tools, as well as Power BI (business intelligence).
From this one tool alone, you can see that Microsoft is well on its way to completing its vision of reinventing
productivity and business processes in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
