Introduction


This chapter explores recipes designed to enhance the usefulness of Microsoft Dynamics GP by personalizing the look and feel of the application. These recipes provide the initial steps in harnessing the full power of Dynamics GP. They are designed to improve productivity today so don't wait to put them to use.

In almost all cases the recipes in this chapter do not require administrative privileges and are available to the average user. The ability of each user to tailor these items to their own needs is what makes these recipes so powerful.

By personalizing Dynamics GP users get the opportunity to fine tune the system to the way that they work. There is something incredibly satisfying about tailoring a system to make it more efficient, and we'll cover some of those personalizing options here.

Although the nature of these recipes makes them useful right away, it is strongly recommended that these items be attempted in a test environment first.
