Sep 16, 2024 Tagged with Application, Form Control, GP Power Tools, GPPT No Comments

Form Control provides a “No Code/Low Code” Customization tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP that can revolutionize how users, consultants and developers can make changes to how GP windows work. It was added as a new module to GP Power Tools with the release of Build 31.

This is the second article in a series of four articles. The series provides an introduction to Form Control, why it was created, how it works and what it is capable of doing. I will describe how the initial example of making Maintenance windows Read Only was configured. Then I will provide details of some extensions that can be added. The final article has downloadable sample projects for both Customer and Vendor Maintenance.

#GPPT Does GP Power Tools affect performance

Aug 30, 2024 Tagged with Application, GP Power Tools, GPPT, Performance No Comments

Something that is always a question when adding an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) add on product to Microsoft Dynamics GP is whether it negatively affects performance.

The short technical answer is always going to be Yes. As any additional code will take time to process. However, the real question is whether the effect on performance is noticeable to users.

#GPPT Importing User Emails via Clipboard

Jul 10, 2024 Tagged with Application, Development, Dexterity, GP Power Tools, GPPT, SQL No Comments

GP Power Tools has the ability to recreate user SQL logins after a server migration using the Database Validation window, or reset multiple user logins using the SQL Login Maintenance window. Both of these methods can use fixed or randomly generated passwords and have the ability to send emails to users with their new password. Also, changing the user’s password from the User Setup window can send an email.

The wording and formatting of these Password Reset emails can be defined in GP Power Tools by your system administrator. You can even use HTML to format the emails as described in the article below:

#GPPT Using HMTL to format Password Reset Emails

To be able to send emails to your users, you need to ensure that GP Power Tools knows the email addresses of the users. They are entered into the User Setup Additional Information window which can be opened from the User Setup window (if it is not set to automatically open). The sample code in this project shows how you can take the data from an Excel spreadsheet with the User ID and Emails of the users and import it from the clipboard directly into GP Power Tools.

#GPPT Company Login Filter has removed all companies

May 1, 2024 Tagged with Application, GP Power Tools, GPPT No Comments

GP Power Tools has a powerful feature called Company Login Filter. This feature was created to allow the selection of companies to be controlled based on the application configuration used to launch Microsoft Dynamics GP.

It has a number of other features such as controlling the order of the companies listed and optionally showing the database name for the company, but if configured incorrectly it does have the ability to block access to the application by removing access to all the companies.
