How to: Use the System Indicator

You can enable the system indicator when you are working with different instances of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For example, you can differentiate between a production environment and a test environment or see when you are in configuration mode. In this procedure, you enable and set up the system indicator.

• If you are in configuration mode, then the system indicator is automatically displayed, and you cannot turn it off. For more information, see How to: Open the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client in Configuration Mode.

• If you are in any other mode, then you must first set up the system indicator in the Company Information window. It is then shown according to your preferences on every page.
