GP2016 – Feature of the Day -Export/Import in SLD, AA Access & More

Posted on by

I was busy with various activities that I missed some interesting/exciting FsOTD on Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog.

I am particularly excited about the last two in the above list; AA Access and Smartlist Designer Export/Import.

The gap between Smartlist Designer and Smartlist Builder is slowly (yet steadily) getting filled. While Smartlist Builder is one of its kind, Smartlist Designer now gives customers a lean version of Smartlist Builder that would satisfy most of the requirements. I am happy as a consultant that I now have an improved Smartlist Designer to talk about with customers/prospects.

Analytical Accounting User Access Settings – Steve Endow perfectly expressed his (and mine as well) thoughts on this tweet. Can’t agree more.

View Smartlists with SQL Tables

Posted on by

Have you ever wondered why your Smartlist, created using Smartlist Builder and a SQL Table / View (which is not part of any of GP or 3rd Party Products)?
This may be the issue:
The above screenshot shows Security Task form, where you have to select the option “View SmartLists with SQL Tables” for the users who wants access to this Smartlist.
This particular point is very much covered in Smartlist Manual, but I bet most of us would have overlooked this.
