#Dexterity #Modifier Quick Tips to meet User Interface Standards

Oct 5, 2024 Tagged with Application, Dexterity, Modifier, Training No Comments

To coincide with the Dexterity Fundamentals training bootcamp that is starting today in San Antonio, Texas, USA, here is a cheat list for creating window layouts that match the Microsoft Dynamics GP user interface standards.

The documentation of the user interface standards uses mathematical formulas to tell you where fields should be located. It is much simpler to use the tips in this article with the grid and offsets instead of the formulas. This article is relevant for working with Dexterity or Modifier.

#GPPT Stopping Vendor ID Auto Populating on Payables Transaction Window

Mar 24, 2022 Tagged with Application, GP Power Tools, GPPT, Modifier No Comments

A while back there was a forum post on the Community Forum asking how to stop the Vendor ID from automatically populating with the previously entered Vendor ID when entering Payables Transactions.

This functionality can be useful when entering multiple transactions from a single vendor, but can also cause data entry errors if entering a transaction from a different vendor and the ‘Vendor ID’ is not changed.

At first glance I thought it would simply be caused by the ‘Vendor ID’ field on the window having the object property of SavedOnRestart=True. However, that was not the case.
