Quick Query Editor in Dynamics SL

SL LogoQuick Query has made a big splash within the user community, but have you ever had the experience where a Quick Query in Dynamics SL takes too long to return results for you? You thought what you asked for was a simple query but it takes too long to give you what you need? In Dynamics SL, you need to introduce Paging to correct this issue with the performance of your query.

 

Paging is a function that allows for the Quick Query screen not to return huge amounts of data all at once. It is like a Bing or Google search, you only get one page at a time. The paging buttons return additional records as you click through the pages. With this turned on, you can have a Quick Query that would otherwise return 100,000 rows, only return 1,000 at a time, thereby increasing the responsiveness of the tool. Many of the Quick Queries that come out of the box are not filtered, such that a user can select their own filtering and save as "filtered views". Click here to read more.

SL Tip of the Month - Multi Company and Quick Query

Toolbox

Situation:

Quick query can save you time when working with your customers. Let's say a customer calls to pay off their balance, and you pull up the customer balance in the Accounts Receivable/Customer Inquiry. Later, you realize that the customer also has a balance in another one of your companies and you only collected the balance for one of them.

 

Solution:

On the Navigation Pane, double-click on the Quick Query icon and then select Financial\Accounts Receivable\Customer Balances. This Quick Query is standard with Dynamics SL 2011. Once the viewer pulls up the information, you can quickly filter by customer ID or name and it will show the balances due for each of the companies you have setup. If you filter on customer name, you may even be able to find the same customer that was setup with a different customer ID.
 

With Quick Query you are able to view data across multiple companies (within the same database), not just the company you are currently logged into.
