Day: May 25, 2015

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 will soon be released (due late May/early June and, as with previous releases, Microsoft have started a Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Team blog. As I have done with the last three series, I’ll be reposting these blog posts here with a little commentary.

The thirteenth Feature of the Day is SmartList Designer Create View .

Within SmartList Designer a user can send a SmartList through workflow to create a SQL view based on the SmartList query.

This SQL view can then be used outside of GP for such purposes as creating reports using SQL reporting services or Power BI reports in Excel.

The view will also allow the user to publish the SmartList as a refreshable excel report from inside of Dynamics GP.

The twelfth Feature of the Day is Self Service User Tasks and Roles.

In the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 release a Self Service user type was added; this user type will enable users that only require very limited access to the system a less expensive option to perform tasks such as entering payroll time, entering project time and expenses, or creating a requisition.

This feature also includes Employee Self Service Security Roles and the ability to filter on security tasks available for each user type, which will make the task and role assignment more efficient.

Nice to see that the new user type is also getting some easing of the setup of the roles and tasks. This is one area that, despite the default roles and tasks available, seems to daunt a lot of new users to the system.

The eleventh Feature of the Day is Self Service User Type.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 sees a Self Service user type added.

This user type will enable users that only require very limited access to the system a less expensive option to perform tasks such as entering payroll time, entering project time and expenses, or creating a requisition.

This new user type is going to be a really useful addition. I have one client who has been looking for a POP add-on to allow online creation of orders for more than 400 users and all the old options were looking quite pricey.

This Self Service user type used in conjunction with the web client should give them the functionality they want, at a price point they can accept.
