I'm sure there is a simple answer, but I'm missing it. I just added a field
to an existing view in SQL and I need to add the field to an existing
Smartlist. However, the new field isn't showing in smartlist builder. I
even tried creating a new smartlist and the field isn't showing in the new
smartlist. I've refreshed the smartlist cashe and lists under Smarlist
Builder Maintenance but that doesn't resolve the problem. Any suggestions?

Hello,

If you have not done so, try removing access to the view that you have,
save the settings, then go back and assign security access to the view
again.

do you mean the security to the view in SQL or within GP?

The security to use the sql view within gp

nope, that didn't do it. I removed the check mark, closed the window, added
the check back and then opened smartlist builder again.

Here are the detailed steps I followed:

1) Create your view, i.e:

IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.querySomething') IS NOT NULL
DROP VIEW dbo.querySomething
GO

CREATE VIEW dbo.querySomething AS
SELECT JRNENTRY, TRXDATE, ACTINDX, DEBITAMT from GL20000
GO

GRANT SELECT ON dbo.querySomething TO DYNGRP
GO


2) Gave SLB security to the new object in GP. MSDGP > Tools > SmartList
Builder > Security > SQL Table Security

3) Created SLB with the new view, marked all columns in the Default list

4) Built Smartlist by going to MSDGP > SmartList. Click on Yes to build
SmartList

5) Went back to SQL Server Management Studio and added a new column to my view

ALTER view [dbo].[sampleGLforSLB] as
select JRNENTRY, TRXDATE, ACTINDX, DEBITAMT, CRDTAMNT from GL20000
GO

NOTE that in this case I added the CRDTAMNT (credit amount) column.

6) Went back to SLB, opened the smart list that I just built and clicked on
the Edit Selected Table button (the button with the clipboard and the pencil
on the Tables pane, next to the minus (-) button).

ALL I DID HERE WAS TO CLICK ON SAVE, NOTHING ELSE. Now my CRDTAMNT column
shows up in the fields list on the right pane. Then clicked the Default check
mark (if so you wish).

7) Click on Save on the SmartList Builder window.

8) Opened SmartList to build my modified view.

I will publish a new blog article with all the steps and pictures.

Hope this helps,

It seems that going back to the edit button and just clicking save was the
key. The field is now showing. Thank you!

I created a smartlist in smartlist builder like I have many times before.
Now, others aren't able to view my most recent report. I did nothing
different than I normally do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sean

Sean,

Is your SmartList based on a SQL View? If so, did you grant access to the
SQL view to DYNGRP? If not, did you grant security access to the new
SmartList?

If that does not help, can you please provide more information? For these
kinds of questions, since there are so many possibilities and options, it
would be really helpful to know the following:

- What version of GP?
- What you have already tried?
- Who can see the SmartList and who cannot?
- Is the SmartList based on a SQL view/table or GP table?
- What do you mean by 'like I have many times before' - this is, of course,
obvious to you, but not to others. :-)
