An informative post from David for all Consultants who face the same query from a Customer.
Read it here: Why does Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and later use a Data folder?

This is another interesting post with loads of information about Autocomplete Data in GP. Leslie Vail explains us what’s it all about Autocomplete Data in GP and where it’s stored.
Read it here: Autocomplete Data for GP – It’s not really a Mystery.
I would like to share one more interesting information along with this post.
Because of the path where this Autocomplete Data is stored, if you have two different GP versions (10 & 2010) and you have the same Company DB name (such as TWO), then whatever you see in GP10 as Autocomplete Data will also be shown in GP2010.
For instance, I enter a value “VAIDHY” on a Customer ID field in GP2010, this new value gets stored in Autocomplete Data file. When you open GP10 and try to enter a Customer ID starting with letter “V”, this value “VAIDHY” will be listed as well.
Purely because, irrespective of versions (only from GP10), GP stores it’s Autocomplete Data in User Roaming Data folder under “Microsoft Dynamics GP”, as explained by Leslie.
Sometimes good, sometimes a drawback. Depends on how you use two versions.

This one’s going to be very interesting and widely used features in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP has got a post that explains couple of new Online Services that are going to be available from November 1, 2010.
Those features are:
1. Payment Services: Enables customers to accept electronic payments directly thru’ ERP.
2. Commerce Services: Build and publish new sales catalogs on demand and extend the sales reach across multiple online channels.
This is going to be available for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 SP5 and Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010.
More details here: COMING SOON – Online Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
This will be an excellent feature once we understand how it works and how effectively we can use it.

Before anything, this one’s got to be first.
For all of us, Dexterity Developers, this excellent tool is a boon. This tool has got an update and the new version is v1.8.
David’s article here for more details: Intellisense for Dexterity – DexSense 1.8 Released.
Mariano’s addendum here: Intellisense for Dexterity… the gift that keeps on giving.
Do start using it if you are already not. It certainly saves tons of time in typing.

GPWindow.com after it’s officially launched, has added one more useful feature: Where’s that GP Window?
It’s good, considering the fact that we cannot remember all GP Windows and it’s paths. Those who want an easy way to know where a GP Window is, go to this link in GPWindow.com and you will find it.
Add it to your GP Shortcuts / Quicklinks, not at all a bad idea. This will give your users, an easy access to the site which is full of information about GP.

Read it on your own to know what it is and how it got visualized:
Intellisense for Dexterity – Ask and You Shall Receive (David)

AWESOME product. Not long ago, we were voting for this. Even before we got over that voting, we are having a product with basic and most required functionalities, which does what we want.
Go ahead, get it, test it and give your constructive feedbacks to get this evolving.

Jivtesh has come up with a noble concept; his new website called GPWindow.com.
Let me share with you about what I liked in this site:
1. The left panel lists us the top sites, based on the number of posts. For a Blogger like me: This means, the one who regularly blogs will get a chance to get more visibility. For a User who looks for a blog: This means, you have got a fair idea about the list of top most GP Blogs which are there for you.
2. The right panel recommends some of the GP Articles. Any post in any blog that has got a mention from other Bloggers or websites or forums.
3. On the top, there is a tab which takes you to:
3.1. Recommended Links: Those links from all GP blogs that are recommended by anyone out there in his/her blog, forum, website, newsgroups, etc. Awesome, isn’t it?
3.2. Latest Links: As the name suggests.
3.3. Top Hits: Those posts which got the most number of hits.
4. Center Panel gives us the best part; Categorization of posts. This is done by parsing post titles and categorizes it based on several keywords. While this list is not yet complete, it’s still comprehensive.
5. And finally there is a Custom Search, designed and created by Jivtesh. This is exactly what I am using in my blog as well. This allows users to focus on one place and get what they want without searching on different sites.
As the site name suggests, it’s clearly a Window to your GP resources.
What it means for a Blogger like me?
1. I am quite happy personally to have got listed as #5. Quite an achievement by me. Considering the fact that I started blogging for a completely different reason but got hooked to this beautiful concept called Knowledge Sharing. This opened up to me an entirely different community dedicated selflessly to help users, consultants & themselves. So it’s quite a proud moment.
2. I also feel very responsible now that my blog is listed. I must be up-to-date, relevant to what I write, accurate in what I share & should be right on concept.
3. I tend to work more on my blog & newsgroup activities, so that I learn more and I share even more to you all.
What it means for a user like me?
1. My search time is quite less from now on. I just open this site and enter what I want to know. Custom Search goes thru’ each and every GP site listed in David Musgrave’s blog and get what you want.
2. I get to see the most active blogs in GP Blogosphere.
3. I get almost anything that I wish to learn from one place.
And more, of course…
Thanks to Jivtesh for this wonderful concept site.
Important: Do post your feedbacks by clicking on Contact. This will enable Jivtesh to keep this site well maintained and improved.
