MDGP 2018 RTM Feature of the Day: System Password Remembered

Microsoft Dynamics GPThe Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM; as the most recent versions have been, these posts are in the form of PowerPoint slides; I am reposting them here so they can be read more easily as well as adding my own commentary.

The series index for this series of posts is here.

The thirteenth Feature of the Day is System Password Remembered.

One of the big frustrations for people who maintain security in Microsoft Dynamics GP is having to type the System Password every single time a password protected window is opened.

This feature sees a change whereby the System Password, ocnce entered, is remembered for the rest of the session.

This feature is well overdue and is going to save so much frustration from having to enter the system password so many times when creating security roles and tasks.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Macros: Playing A Macro

Microsoft Dynamics GPIn this series I am taking a look at how macros can be used to update data in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Before moving onto manipulating the macro template I am going to cover how to play back the macro; this way once you have your template ready, you already know how to playback the macro.

To play back the macro, we need to recreate the circumstances in which the macro was recorded; for this example, this means having the User Setup window (Administration >> Setup >> System >> User) open.
