Where is my Extender Detail Window in Extender 2013?

Posted on by

With Extender 2013, we have whole lot of surprises on how it got enhanced. One biggest enhancement/change to Extender is the way it treats Extender Detail Window (that is the name till previous version).

Previous version’s Detail Window definition looked as follows:

Snip20130321_3

 

Not any more… There is no such option called Detail Window. From now on, every window is called, well simply, a Window.

So where is the option to setup whether it’s a multiple row entry (grid) or not? Here it is:

Snip20130321_4

Just select option “Display scrolling grid” and you are good to go.

Clearly, eOne developers have done an immense cleanup work on Extender’s design. Overall, classification of Extender resources itself is now shrunken as follows:

Snip20130321_5   Snip20130321_6

Interesting changes; I have not gone thru’ all changes/enhancements yet. I will be posting more on all those interesting and critical changes.

So far, thumbs up to eOne Team, for their efforts.

Extender for GP 2013 – Release Postponed

Posted on by

This is, to some extent, bad news for me at least. I was planning for an early upgrade to GP 2013 for my GP production environment. As 40% of my customisation depend on Extender, it feels so bad that I cannot get Extender for GP 2013 till Early to Mid February 2013. This news has been confirmed by eOne Solutions on their official blog.

Original post here: Delivery Date.

I am disappointed to say the least. But considering the issues that eOne developers are going thru’, especially due to a very late announcement from Microsoft to detach Extender from their OEM arrangements, I empathise with them on their most gruelling time to get things streamlined and meet customers’ expectations.

I shall await their official announcement on Extender’s availability for GP 2013.

Extender Customers Opt-In Process

Posted on by

Much has been written, discussed and thought about Microsoft’s strategy on moving Extender licensing and support to it’s original developer, eOne Solutions, from GP 2013.

It was first highlighted by Victoria Yudin on her blog; Big announcement for Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Extender module. It was soon followed by several posts from all GP community. Having said and done all, eOne has clarified an important thing to all customers and partners.

If you wish to Opt-In (explanation of what it is all about is there on the post), please read this post from eOne Solutions: Opt-In eXtender Customers. This is a very important post for all those use Extender and time to get it done if you are planning your GP 2013 upgrade in near future.

Important announcement for GP’s Extender Module – Victoria Yudin

Posted on by

Thanks a bunch to Victoria for her critical post regarding Microsoft discontinuing direct sales of Extender (Standard) module.

Read her post from here, Big announcement for Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Extender module, as I do not wish to brief the contents further.

I was kind of shocked/surprised when I read it. Not long ago, Microsoft did the same thing to two other modules; Audit Trails and Electronic Signatures. But as Jen Kuntz from Kuntz Consulting put it, Extender has a wider and a successful reach than the other two. This module is quite brilliant for 100% codeless customization option for all customers.

Got to wait and see how this would go with customers.

Table Links in Extender

Posted on by

UPDATE: It looks like Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Services Blog had posted this article before Collins Dynamics GP blog. You can read both anyways.

May 31, 2012: Nicole Albertson from Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Blog explains Table Links in Extender - Nicole, which can be used to remove an Extender record when the master record is deleted.

June 6, 2012: Collins Dynamics GP Blog shares the same topic on it’s post Table Links in Extender - Collins.

The concept of removing Extender records when master record is deleted is very very crucial. This post, hence, is important.
