Foundation Enhancements will be the final entry of my ‘What’s New in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010’ series.

Below are some of the awesome changes:

Emailing

·         Email Functionality

With the new e-mail functionality in Microsoft Dynamics GP you can embed documents into the body of an email or send as an attachment!

Home Page

·         View Reminders as Cues

You can choose to view pre-defined reminders as text or cues on your home page.  A cue is an icon that increases or decreases in height to indicate the number of records in a particular reminder category.

·         View Reporting Services Metrics!

·         Create your own metrics on your home page!

Lookups

·         Set a default view for many lookup windows!

Define and save a default lookup view for your master records.  This is available for Item, Account, Employee, Customer, Vendor, and Salesperson lookups!

Microsoft Dynamics Online Connect

Connect displays a series of slides that allow you to perform self-help support, get information and perform training from the Microsoft Dynamics GP home page!

Navigation Pane

Now you have control over which series buttons and associated lists for modules display for users!

Right-click menu enabled

You can right-click in a text or numeric field to see a shortcut menu which contains options from the Edit menu!

Security

·         Display security roles and tasks

Restrict roles and tasks assigned to a user instead of viewing all tasks, roles, and items!

·         Copy user security settings

Save time and improve accuracy by copying one user’s security settings to another!

·         Automatically log on to GP and a company

Users now have the option to log on to GP and a specific company automatically!

Word Templates

Predefined Word templates for several document types based on the standard reports in GP.  Create your own or modify an existing template, and then assign the template to a company!
