Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2: Client First Run

Microsoft Dynamics GPMicrosoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 was released at the end of May. As I mentioned at the time, I was away from home for work and rather busy otherwise so this series of posts has been somewhat delayed.

However, I am now getting my hands on GP 2015 R2 and thought I would do my usual set of posts on the installation of the various components and also the usage of the new functionality. This is going to be quite a long series of posts, so keep checking back regularly.

In the fifth post, we’re going to run the client for the first time. To do this, launch Microsoft Dynamics GP using the GP shortcut on the Home screen:

Select a company from the drop down and click OK:

If you logged into the sample company then you’ll be presented with the sample company warning message. Click OK to dismiss this message:

Sample company warning

You can prevent this sample company warning message from being displayed, which is quite useful if you use the sample company a lot (as I do for demos and testing of functionality).

Select Your Industry and the job role to configure the default home page (this can be changed and reconfigured at any time):
