  • SmartList Increase Performance

    SmartList is a great tool, but really slow to load results. The rows seem to load one by one and users slowly watch the row count increase until the row limit is released. SQL can return thousands of rows in a second, and it is possible to load a Window grid control just as quickly. Dynamics GP just appears to not take advantage of these capabilities.

  • SmartList Designer GoTos

    Please add the ability to create GoTos in SmartList Designer. This was a very nice feature in the old SmartList Builder that allowed designers to create convenient and relevant links from the SmartList

  • Improve Login Speed by Improving Efficiency of "Updating Menus"

    After a user signs in to GP, it appears the application is ready, but it is really not. If the user changes to a module page, he or she will see many items on the page that are not applicable and not really available. If the user tries to switch companies, a message will be displayed that it cannot be done because background processes are running. If Process Monitor is opened, a stall will be seen with "Updating Menus (1)" as the first item. To reduce user confusion, Winthrop Development Consults devised a way to use GP Power Tools to block the user from changing pages until the session is fully initialized (https://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/winthropdevelopmentconsultantsblog/posts/gppt-preventing-users-from-using-gp-until-login-has-completed). But a better solution would be to remove the ineffciencies that causes "Updating Menus (1)" to take 10+ seconds in the first place.
