What should you consider?
Document design
Being able to generate new, on-brand documents easily can have a huge impact on both positive customer perceptions and employee satisfaction. If consistency and eliminating the need to rely on developers to make even simple changes is frustrating, Lasernet has a solution. Logos, images, and other complicated designs are taken care of by Lasernet with its simple to use drag-and-drop graphical interface.
In order to update and make changes to existing reports, templates are mapped using Lasernet Connector metadata. Templates are then modified in a windows environment, ensuring updates can be made quickly and easily. Information can even be reused between reports, so master templates can be created and automatically populated. All without the need for a programmer!
Document preview
Systems that are easy to use save time. This increases productivity and minimizes waste. Even simple things can have huge impacts. With Lasernet, all documents are opened in separate tabs, making navigation, compilation, and comparison quick and easy. Users can also return to Dynamics 365 without closing all documents and preview documents are viewed as final format, unlike in standard D365.
Uploading/extraction
Every day we receive more and more information, but whether it's on a piece of paper or in an electronic file, inputting the details and sending them on to the next step is no easy task. Not only is manual data entry error prone, it is also often needed to be replicated across disparate solutions. Whether it's scribblings on paper, any electronic file format, or a mixture of both, Lasernet for Input Management can receive, read, validate, and upload your documents with ease.
Emailing/distribution
Lasernet's extended functionality and the ability to tailor emails to individual requirements gives customers a better experience. It's a win-win with Lasernet when it comes to satisfying both parties in communication. Lasernet extends the email dialog by making it clearer with larger boxes and adding BCC along with simple dialog boxes to update. Lasernet can use any information to create standard file naming conventions, as well as subject and body copy. These can be tailored by report to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Archiving
The ability to issue, retrieve, and reissue digital documents instantly can have huge benefits for customer satisfaction and legal compliance. As with all of the other enhanced functionality delivered by Lasernet, these simple capabilities have the potential to save users time, businesses money, and customers frustration.
The Lasernet Archive is information-rich, displaying when, to whom, and how the document was sent. It also enables instant multi-resend functionality of an exact copy that was created at that point in time. Standard D365 only allows users to save in the print archive, which is not actually an archive and does not support reprinting.
