Newsgroups within PartnerSource

Technorati Tags: Tips and Tricks,Microsoft Dynamics GP,Tunesia Winn,Expert Advice

Hello BroadPoint Clients,

It’s me Tunesia Winn, VA Territory Account Manager. Have you looked for Newsgroups within PartnerSource lately?

If you are asking the questions:

1. Where are the unmanaged Newsgroups specifically for GP and FRX?

2. Why can a customer on a Business Ready Enhancement plan have access to Managed News Group?

The answer to the first and second question is that all managed groups are also unmanaged. In other words all managed and unmanaged users are now one and the same. If you post a question but do not receive an answer back from the MS Community within 24 hours a process will run notifying MS Support that the user has an unanswered question. Then MS Support will follow up with you.

Please take the time to visit CustomerSource, http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/customersource.mspx. You will be able to find answers to your non-critical questions using this powerful tool!

If you do not have access and need assistance obtaining access to the site, please feel free to contact me or your dedicated Account Manager here at BroadPoint.

Thanks & Happy Searching!

Tip of the week from Brenda Hopkins – Week 12

Leverage the List View for Reporting


Have you ever scrolled through all report windows for a particular module looking for that special report that you know is there but you just can't find it? Something like the Historical Stock Status which is under Activity instead of History.

You can now search for a report, including all the options you have set for various reports.
V9 Select Reports >Report List
V10 Home >Administration>All Reports List

A box will come up with all the reports in the system. You can limit this list to various modules, search for reports and sort the list on the different criteria. From the Actions menu you can create new report options, review the option selections for a particular report and even import/export reports.
