Advanced SmartList

1.  What is a Snapshot?

The Advanced SmartList Snapshot window provides a snapshot of the information as it appears in the Advanced SmartList window. If the information is filtered, sorted or grouped in the Advanced SmartList window, the new data subset along with the new formatting will be carried forward to the Advanced SmartList Snapshot window. The Advanced SmartList Snapshot window will have identical functionality as the Advanced SmartList window. You can move, add or remove columns, filter, sort or group the information as required.
 
2.
Can I compare two Advanced SmartLists to each other?

Yes, by creating multiple Snapshots.
 
3. What’s the difference between Advanced SmartList and SmartList Builder? 

Advanced SmartList should not be viewed as a replacement product for SmartList Builder. Advanced SmartList’s feature set enhances the SmartList user experience by creating an interactive query tool with “on the fly” summarization and reporting capability. Advanced SmartList is dependent on SmartList Favorites (objects) including those created by SmartList Builder.


SmartList Builder’s features are not interactive. Continual navigation to the SmartList Builder maintenance window is required to update the list parameters thereby increasing the amount of time and effort required to create data sets. With Advanced SmartList’s drag and drop, click and point features, you can create varying data sets instantly saving you time and money. As well, Advanced SmartList takes advantage of all SmartList Builder functionality. So in essence, Advanced SmartList enhances both GP SmartList and SmartList Builder. 

4. How do you enable/disable Advanced SmartList?

With the Microsoft Dynamics GP SmartList window open, choose the Additional option on the Microsoft Dynamics GP tool bar.
(Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> SmartList >> Additional >> Enable/Disable Advanced SmartList)
