Microsoft Dynamics GP – Home Page Font Change

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Does your home page in Microsoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 strain your eyes while navigating through due to a small font size?

If you are like a lot of Microsoft Dynamics GP users, you are on the computer a good majority of the day and your eyes could start to glaze over after a few hours, but through an easy to fix solution, you could increase the font size on your Dynamics GP home page to help prevent any glazing.

Through the home page file under the ‘Background’ folder in your Dynamics GP folder you can easily change the font size to whatever you’d like. By testing in-house we have come up with a good array of font sizes to help you change your home page from small, 9 point font, to about 15 point font without affecting anything else but the font size.

To easily make the change to your font size:

Change the original file name of “HomePage.css” to “HomePage_Orginal.css” so that you are able to keep the original file as a backup. Then, download and save the file we have already created that contains a larger font size and save in the Dynamics GP background folder as “HomePage.css” (Note: Whichever file is named  “HomePage.css” becomes the default)

To download and save the file in your Dynamics GP folder please click here: http://www.criticaledgegroup.com/filephotos/docs/HomePage.css

(Note: The file needs to be saved on individual machines that have Dynamics GP installed for those users that wish to change the font size. This is not a system-wide change.)

Increase the Speed When Switching Between Companies in Dynamics GP

Monday, March 8th, 2010
Does your organization have more than 3 databases, which results in you having to often switch between companies in Dynamics GP?
If so, there is usually a long wait time for Dynamics GP to load before you can continue with your work. There is a simple solution to help make it faster for users.

The ‘power user’ role can perform this solution through the SQL maintenance window in Dynamics GP 10.0, that would allow all users to switch companies faster than before; cutting the load time down by almost 50%. (Note: Make sure to save your work in the prior company before switching because you will be logged out of the first company.)

To get to the SQL Maintenance window you must go to ‘Microsoft Dynamics GP’ -> ‘Maintenance’ -> ‘SQL Maintenance’

Then select the company database from the drop down, then select the ‘List Action Status Header’ and ‘List Action Status Line’ -> then select the check boxes for ‘Drop Auto Procedure’ and ‘Create Auto Procedure’ -> Then click ‘Process’

Repeat the same steps for all the company databases that you have in your organization.
