Course Outline

Module 1: Installation and Configuration

Extender works by "extending" the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is not intended to be used to develop new applications in the same way as other tools. In particular, it is useful for extending the application to manage additional data relative to Microsoft Dynamics GP transactions or master records. Extender does not have the ability to pull data from another source.This module explains how to create additional data entry windows, additional window types, forms to capture additional data, actions, and describes extended security functionality.
