Implementing Enhanced Notes: Using Enhanced Notes

GP Elementz Enhanced NotesThis post is part of a series on Implementing Enhanced Notes from ISC Software Solutions.

Once Enhanced Notes has been installed and configured, it replaces the Dynamics GP Notes window everywhere it appears on both records and windows. The notes icon will still appear as white when there is no note, or yellow when there is.

If, for example, you open the Notes window for a customer, you’ll see the Enhanced Notes window:

Enhanced Notes window

In this window, I have entered a note as well as selecting a category and subcategory; I am not emailing this or creating a task; I could use the paperclip icon to attach a PDF of the email if required.

Implementing Enhanced Notes: Configure Security

GP Elementz Enhanced NotesThis post is part of a series on Implementing Enhanced Notes from ISC Software Solutions.

When Enhanced Notes is deployed to a company, there are two security roles created:

  1. ENHANCED NOTES – which gives users access ton the Enhanced Notes instead of the standard Dynamics GP Notes window.
  2. ENHANCED NOTES SETUP – which allows users to change the configuration of the Enhanced Notes module.

All non-POWERUSER* users are automatically assigned the Enhanced Notes security role when it is installed, but future users will need to be assigned it via User Security Setup (Adminstration » Setup » System » User Security):

User Security Setup

Any user other than a POWERUSER* will need to be assigned the Enhanced Notes Setup role.

Custom Shortcuts in Run Window

WindowsWindows allows you to use commands as shortcuts in the Run prompt (such as calc to launch calculator). I typically use a lot of shortcuts to launch apps or open files I use a lot, but don;t want to drop a lot of shortcuts in any of the standard folders from which Windows allows shortcuts to be used.

Fortunately, you can add additional folders to use for shortcuts. To add a new folder, open the System window (Win+Pause|Break) and click on Advacned system settings< :
