How to disabel Home Page in GP10
Monzer Osama
Is there possibility to disable Home Page In GP10?
that could be done in GP 9!
Graham Anderson
Method 1: Use Microsoft Dynamics GP
A user-specific setting determines whether the home page appears or not.
Therefore, you can disable the home page feature when you log on to Microsoft
Dynamics GP. To do this, follow these steps:1. Log on to Microsoft Dynamics
GP.
2. On the home page, click the Customize this page link.
3. In the Customize Home Page window, click to clear the Display home page
when Microsoft Dynamics GP starts check box and the Update my home page every
hour check box.
Method 2: Use Microsoft SQL Query Analyzer, SQL Server Management Studio, or
Support Administrator Console
You can also configure the home page feature by using SQL Query Analyzer,
SQL Server Management Studio, or Support Administrator Console. The home page
feature is located in the SY08000 table.
To disable the home page feature, use one of the following procedures,
depending on whether you want to disable the home page feature for a
particular Microsoft Dynamics GP user or for all Microsoft Dynamics GP
users:• Disable the home page feature for a particular Microsoft Dynamics GP
user. To do this, run the following SQL query:
UPDATE DYNAMICS..SY08000 set DISPHP = 0 where USERID = 'XXX'
Note Replace XXX with the user ID of the particular user for whom you want
to disable the home page.
• Disable the home page feature for all Microsoft Dynamics GP users. To do
this, run the following SQL query:
UPDATE DYNAMICS..SY08000 set DISPHP = 0

you see in the home page for the sections but unlike GP 9.0 where you could
default to the home page or just have the plain MDI background showing, that
isn't an option for 10.0. I guess development figures you don't want to see
a blank area?

users. Not everyone has the latest and fastest computer. They do not like
having to sit there for 10 minutes while GP fires up displaying things on the
screen no one wants to see. I thought they would have a user test before
rolling out new software. Most users want the home page turned off and now my
only way to do it is to manually update the SY08000 table. Please tell them
to bring that back in GP 11. This rates right up there with the removal of
the push pin. You have no idea how many people want that back! Plus, now why
in GP 10 when you have a window open and want to do another task, the current
window is minimized down to the systray and you have to find and click it to
bring it back? I thought new version were supposed to improve the user
experience not make it worse.

Then turn them off. Personally I don't want to see my email on my home page
so I turn that off. If I wasn't logging into Fabrikam the metrics might
take a bit to process. I turn those off as well. The links I don't mind so
much and are quick to create.

That isn't my area but I'm guessing some customers saw this before it was
out. But then again, maybe not.

I wouldn't say that I have any such sway with Development. You would want
to log a suggestion on partnersource for this. It might come back. BTW, I
tried your tip on the updating the SY08000 table on my 10.0. My 'Home Page'
still showed on my startup. So unless I was in the wrong instance, that
didn't work for me.

With the "minimize to systray" then I guess you would have the same palette
problem. However I believe Binary Stream or someone makes a solution
(free?) for palettes again in 10.0. Also, no the current window isn't
minimized ot the tray - but I can see why you'd think so. Instead it's
probably behind the shell. I personally do not run my shell full screen so
it helps to find my windows. Something to get used to. Instead of
palettes- I like the toolbars in gp 10. (well 8.0 to 10.0). While not the
same, you know that you can "pin" an entire menu to a toolbar right? it
doesn't have to be just one window. That actually is pretty convenient.
>>I thought new version were supposed to improve the user

Me? I'm still mad that the UI changed in 6.0 to have the browse buttons
from the top left of a window to the lower left. Much further to go to
browse records than right by the Save button where you just were! Old
habits die hard and it's taking me a while to get used to the 10.0 UI as I
find myself in 10.0 more and more. It's different for sure.

If I have the Vendor card screen opened and then click transactions, the
vendor card screen immediately goes does to the systray. It is not behind
anything, it is at the bottom of the screen. I will check with Binary Stream
and see what they have to bring back the features that MS has taken away.

used to only have 1 maximized window at a time. Now with SDI that might
still happen - but I can't see how I could easily prove that.
1. Start with nav shell open, maximize it
2. click and open some window
3. click nav shell and don't open a window
4. where did window #2 go? It's behind the nav shell
why is it there? Because you clicked on the shell and it had to come
forward to accept your click. Since you have the shell full screen (or even
if just taking up most of the screen) - it's easy to lose the GP windows
behind it. That's why I run my shell fairly small - big enough to get to my
navigation is about all I need.

notice however it seems to have a predetermined smallest size. I tried to
squeeze it down to just small box and the best I can do is about a quarter of
the screen.
