Tips & Tricks from the Help Desk
Do you need help from SSYH?
SSYH has an in-house support area that is available for
help with your Microsoft business solution. Support can be obtained by calling
Michael Broadmeadow at
(800)
670-0059 ext. 122. You may also email your
support questions/issues to our help desk at
ssyhsupport@ssyh.com.
When emailing, please include any screen shots or error messages
that will help solve your issue.
Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon)
Do you get the following message when logging into
Microsoft Dynamics SL?
"New Event Log Files Exist! Do you want to
view them?"
This message indicates that you have event logs that need
to be viewed or deleted. An event log is a text document that
provides information on various applications that you have run. If
you click 'Yes' the Event Log viewer screen will appear. Look for
logs with your Microsoft Dynamics SL User ID. You can view the log
by clicking on the Process ID and then clicking on the View Button.
To delete a log, click the delete box next to the log you want to
delete. Once you close the screen, you will be prompted to delete
the log. Once you view or delete all logs you will no longer get the
message. If you do not have access to view or delete the event logs,
please contact your System Administrator.
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
Are you using Smartlists?
Smartlists are predefined criteria which can provide easy
access to information stored in your Microsoft Dynamics GP system.
Some of the information you can easily obtain from Smartlists are a
listing of accounts, customers, vendors, payable transactions and
employees. These are just a few of the predefined listings that are
available. One of the big benefits of Smartlists is its ability to
export to Excel and Word with a single click of your mouse. You can
also define search criteria, add, remove or move columns to better
suit your needs. To use Smartlists, simply select View > Smartlists
from the Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) menu. To find out how
Smartlists can work for you, please review the Help area within
Microsoft Dynamics GP, or review the System User's Guide.
FRx
You get a message that a report, column or row format is in
use, yet no one is in FRx. You need to compact the spec set and
database. Here's how:
-
Make sure
all users are out of FRx.
-
Make a
backup of your FRx environment including the sysdata folder.
-
From FRx,
select File > Compact FRx Database > Current Spec Set Database. You
will be prompted to continue. Answer Yes to continue or No to
not perform the compact process.
-
From FRx,
select File > Compact FRx Database > FRx System Database. You will be
prompted to continue. Answer Yes to continue or No to not
perform the compact process.
