- [Instructor] In my decades of experience in consulting
with Dynamics GP, I've seen it time and time again
where people are sort of suffering through various
keystroke combinations, other navigation difficulties
because they're not aware that they can change the system
to behave in a way that they prefer.
If we look at the User Preferences, we see a lot
of different options to control the way GP works,
make it work more the way you want it to.
For instance, most of time people that use this
sales order processing module are not creating quotes.
Either they're creating invoices or orders.
So it's a good idea to, if you are creating orders,
you set that to Order and then every time you go to
this sales transaction window here it's going to default,
not to Quote, but to Order.
So there we are tailoring it to our way of working.
Another example is your display.
Required fields can be set to red rather than black.
Let me see what that looks like.
It makes them stand out a little bit better.
Some people are so used to hitting
the return key to go to the next field,
that they really need that change there.
I don't recommend that
because the way Windows works, the operating system really
wants you to use the tab key to go from field to field.
You can do that if you need to
and this is handy if you like to print your reports
to the screen so you can look at them before you commit
to sending them to a piece of paper.
You can set a Default Report Destination.
You also have the ability to affect your reminders here.
A lot of times these reminders have been set up
automatically when your user was created
and here's a place you can go to remove them,
so that they won't pester you on your home page
if you're not actually using them.
Or you can create new reminders here as well.
Often I've seen this as a way to streamline
and clean up your home page.
So remember, go to your User Preferences and make sure
that you've set it to work the way you would like
to work in Dynamics GP.
