Optional training: Customizing GP for Non-Programmers with Extender*
Collecting as much data as possible is important to every Dynamics GP customer, and while Dynamics GP has its fair share of user defined fields, sometimes there just aren't enough of them or the right ones. In the past, adding specialized fields meant customized development efforts. But not anymore - GP Extender can help. Extender enables non-coders to quickly and easily add unique windows to Dynamics GP that can collect the additional data your organization needs, and allow you to report on it with tools you already utilize.
