The 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 won commentary.

The series index for this series of posts is here.

The sixteenth Feature of the Day is SmartList Favorite Password Protection. This new feature is in response to the reaction to the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 new feature of SmartList Favorite Protection.

The problem with this feature, was that the security was at the global SmartList level so all SmartLists would be protected by the same password. The new feature being introduced in Dynamics GP 2018, is password protection at the SmartList Favourite level:

I’m bery happy to see the password available at the SmartList Favourite level as this will make it useful to quite a few clients who have asked about how to protect their favourites. It’s also nice to see it for another reason; it shows that Microsoft is responsive to the requests of the Dynamics GP community.

You can influence the development of Microsoft Dynamics GP by submitting, and voting on, suggestions on the Microsoft Connect website.

The fifteenth Feature of the Day is Copy User Access Across AA Dimensions. A new button has been introduced to the User Access to Trx Dimensions window which allows setup to be copied between users:

All alphanumeric dimensions in AA need to have access configured on a per user basis; this can mean a lot of work to both setup and maintain. This new functionality should at least make it a little easier by allowing you to copy settings between users.

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.

A week past Friday Pam Misialek did a Doc Attach Unplugged post reviewing the Document Attachment functionality of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Well on Friday last week, she took a slightly different approach and asked me be a guest blogger and do the Workflow Unplugged post.

So this time, to read my post, you’ll need to head over to the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog.

The twelfth Feature of the Day is Web Client Changes.

This feature combines three enhancements which have been made to the web client.

Firstly, the web client has been modified to have the same autocomplete functionality as the desktop client:

The eleventh Feature of the Day is Save Select Payment Settings.

A new Payment Batch ID field has been added to the Build Payment Batch (formerly Select Cheques (or Checks)) window (Purchasing area page >> Transactions >> Build Payment Batch):

This option allows you to save the entered restrictions for easy recall at a later date. I have mixed feelings on this one; my initial impressions was that this feature would be really useful, but when I thought more I can’t see many of my users making much use of this functionality.

Most of them only build a batch based on due date and there is no benefit saving the due date as the selection is for a specific date only.

If you do more complex batch building, such as using Vendor Class, Payment Priority, or a combination of restrictions, then this new option could save you a little time on every payment batch created.
