Security DrillDown Page From Roles to Tasks to Operations

Rubal has just made an awesome Security drilldown page which lets you drill-down from a Security Role to show you all Tasks in the role. After that you can review all the Operations(Windows/Reports) in a Task.

Check it out at - http://www.gpwindow.com/securityreport.php 

This should be helpful when you are planning for security or making security changes.

Check out Chetna’s post about this at http://www.gpwindow.com/dynamicsgp/2010/11/19/security-drilldown-page-for-dynamics-gp-roles-tasks-and-operations/

Thank you for all the love!

In the last few weeks I got feedback that many people found GPWindow.com to be slow. I checked the website analytics and found that over 4000 people were hitting the website everyday. I didn’t think that was too much, but the shared hosting GPWindow was on was having trouble keeping up.

So GPWindow.com now on a faster dedicated server! Let me know if you notice an improvement in speed.

Thank you all for the great feedback and reviews. Below are some highlights and some features highlighted by other bloggers and MVPs.

Dynamics GP ISV Product Reviews at GPWindow.com

We are starting the GP ISV Product review series. With research inputs from Chetna and implementation inputs from Tina and Rubal - I think there will be content that will be of use to both GP Users and GP Consultants.

There are thousands of Dynamics GP ISVs and Add-On products, adding value to GP’s built in functionality. Product reviews will aim to highlight some of the popular GP products.

We've got over 15 products lined up, if there is a product you'd like us to review or write more about, shoot an email or add your comments.

In order to make the reviews unbiased, each review will carry references of the products from newsgroups. In response to questions in various groups, GP experts and MVPs often give their unbiased views about products. We have our list of Dynamics GP experts, most of whom have been recognized by Microsoft for their work with the community. We researched how often these products were referred to in the community by these experts – people like Mark Polino, Mariano Gomez, Victoria Yudin, Charles Allen, David Musgrave, Leslie Vail. The discussions related to this product are referenced with each review.

Integration Manager and Analytical Accounting

If you in the trenches with Analytical Accounting and considering the use of Integration Manager, check out these two posts

Using Integration Manager with Analytical Accounting by David Musgrave

When you use Integration Manager on a system with Analytical Accounting (AA) installed, integrations often fail because Analytical Accounting will open windows which are unhandled by Integration Manager. However, there are time when you still want to use Integration Manager to import transactions where the Analytical Accounting information is left blank. This post provides three methods of how to make Integration Manager work when Analytical Accounting is installed.

Integration Manager: Integrating journal entries with Analytical Accounting Information by Mariano Gomez

If you are one of the fervourous Integration Manager fans out there and have had to work on integrating journal entries with Analytical Accounting information, you may know this is only possible with the eConnect Adapter, not the Standard Adapter.
