Oct 10, 2025 Tagged with Application, Community Summit 2025, Conference, GPUG No Comments

Today, I am off on my way to Orlando, Florida, USA for the Community Summit 2025 conference. With a 12 hour time difference between Perth and Orlando and an almost equal distance from the equator, I will truly be going halfway around the globe with my Friday lasting 36 hours.

I will be presenting a 5 day Dexterity class and a 1 day GP Power Tools class and then being involved with and presenting at least seven sessions. I will also be taking advantage of a number of “Advanced Networking Opportunities” including being a sponsor of the PowerGP Online party on Wednesday night.

GP Power Tools Build 32 added Custom Tables as a new feature to the Developer Tools module. Custom Tables can automatically create and maintenance SQL tables in company (or system) databases as defined by the definition in the Custom Tables Setup window.

This is an updated version of the #GPPT Adding Virtual Fields to Item Maintenance project which uses a Custom Table to store the data rather than the DUOS. Easy access to the Custom Tables is provided by a series of Custom Table Buffer Helper Functions which replicate how Dexterity table buffers work.
