Things I've learned from years of working with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Setting SmartList Objects in Microsoft Dynamics GP
This is part 2 of a 5 part series on creating and managing new SmartList Objects in Microsoft Dynamics GP. In this part we’ll set defaults on our object.
We’ll set the default columns that we want displayed AND we’ll set the maximum number of records that will be displayed. Out of the box, Microsoft Dynamics GP defaults to show only the first 1,000 records. This is to make sure you have your criteria set correctly. I like to go ahead and bump mine way high so I know the results will display everything.
In part 1 we created a new SmartList List from a SQL View. If you are not sure how to get a view, talk with your Microsoft Partner or your IT team. Once you have the view, you can rock on with some very cool stuff!
