| GP Reports Viewer Announces Mass Emailing
New feature for mass emailing announced for GP Reports Viewer
|
 With this exciting new feature you can now send mass email reports to customers, vendors, or any list of email addresses directly from Dynamics GP.
We have seen great use cases for this new feature including sending a report to a group of customers or vendors
that is different from purchase orders, invoices or statements. Another example is entering email addresses on an Extender window and having GP Reports Viewer pull those addresses for mass emailing.
The possibilities are endless!
GP Reports Viewer mass emailing is available for the following versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP:
- GP 2016 (new GP Reports Viewer build 3)
- GP 2015 and GP 2015 R2 (new GP Reports Viewer build 9)
- GP 2013 and GP 2013 R2 (new GP Reports Viewer build 18)
For details about setting up and using GP Reports Viewer and this new feature, please see our User Guide.
If you have any other upgrade questions, please
let us know.

Tool Tips in Crystal Reports
How to add tool tips to your Crystal Reports
Did you know you can add Tool Tips to your Crystal Reports? Tool Tips can be helpful to give users additional information about something they are seeing on a report.
Here is how to do it:
- Right click on an object on the Crystal Reports Design pane
- Select Formal Field
- On the Common tab click the formula button next to Tool Tip Text
- Add the Tool Tip you want to show as text surrounded by quotes, for example: "This is a Tool Tip"
If you want to get really fancy with this, you can also add formulas into your Tool Tips.

Calculating Running Total in SQL Server
How to add a running total column to SQL Server code |
It is not uncommon for report specifications to ask for a column showing a running total. There are some cases where it makes sense to calculate the running total in the report itself, for example Crystal Reports makes it very simple to add a running total.
However, there are other times when it may be advantageous to calculate the running total directly in your SQL code. If you are using SSRS or Excel for reporting, this may be easier.
Below is a sample of how to calculate a running total in SQL code. This sample uses the Customer Summary table (RM00103) in Dynamics GP and shows each customer, their individual balance and then a running total:
select
CUSTNMBR [Customer ID],
CUSTBLNC [Customer Balance],
sum(CUSTBLNC)
over(order by CUSTNMBR
rows between
unbounded preceding
and current row) [Running Total]
from RM00103
where CUSTBLNC <> 0
order by CUSTNMBR
Copy this code into SQL Server Management Studio and execute it against your company database to see how it works.
