A Review of
Navision Attain
By J. Carlton Collins, CPA

Navision Attain Look & Feel

This document addresses the cosmetic appearance of Navision Attain only. To help you understand how to evaluate an accounting software product's Look & Feel, please refer to this document: http://www.accountingsoftwareadvisor.com/topics/lookfeel.htm. (We recommend that you read this document first, before proceeding below.) 

The Navision Attain screen above is taken from the Contact Management module where prospects are setup and maintained.

Likes: I like the Attain tabbed dialog box, the way the titles and data field are lined up, and I especially like the icons at the top of the screen that allow the user to quickly search, drill, and manipulate the data. I like the way Attain’s background fills the screen to hide the background clutter from other applications. I also like the fact that the name of the open company appears at the top of the screen, and the current period appears at the bottom. The Prospect and Function buttons are pull down menus that work well – providing easy access when needed, but not cluttering the screen with a dozen menu options. Attain’s design is extremely consistent throughout the product.

Dis-Likes: I think that the font is a little hard to read because it is too small – perhaps an increase of 1 point would help. However, it may be that the gray background is too dark, and this is why I feel that the titles are a little harder to read compared to other products. I think that Attain could use a little more color – it seems to come across a little dull. Also, I am not sure that the dots connecting the field labels to the data fields are necessary – but this is certainly not a big deal.
