MDGP 2016 R2 Feature of the Day: SmartList Favorite Protection

Microsoft Dynamics GPThe Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2; 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.

The series index for this series of posts is here

The second Feature of the Day is SmartList Favorite Protection:

SmartList Options

This new feature allows a password to be set which will protect SmartList Favourites from being modified; when a user tries to modify a SmartList Favorite they will be prompted to enter a password.

The downside of this setting is that it is a global setting for all SmartList Favourites and not a password which can be set differently for each Favourite. This point was mentioned to Microsoft at reIMAGINE 2016.

MDGP 2016 R2 Feature of the Day: Series Index

Microsoft Dynamics GPThe Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog ha sstarted posting their Feature of the Day Posts on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2. As usual, their posts are in the form of a PowerPoint slideshow and, as normal, I am going to convert their posts into posts here with a little commentary.

I may lag behind them somewhat as we are very busy at the moment and even I do need a little sleep occasionally.

That said, you can bookmark this post to keep an eye on the series index which will automatically update as I post each Feature of the Day.

Upgrading Microsoft Dynamics GP: Missing Security Roles

Microsoft Dynamics GPWhen you do a fresh install of Microsoft Dynamics GP, all of the required security roles and tasks are created. However, when Dynamics GP is upgraded, the new security roles and tasks are not automatically added. Microsoft do supply a set of scripts each time which can be run to add the roles and tasks.

This comes up every time we upgrade a client and I am tired of having to hunt out the posts from Microsoft, so I’m bringing together a list of the last few scripts and will add new ones here as each version is released.

The versions I could find again are listed below
