Enhanced Usability / User Interface for JDE

Date Posted: 06/24/13

A Tools Release upgrade was completed the evening of June 13^th.  Tools Releases typically enhance the usability and user interface within the JDE software, and this one included many advancements.  Internet Explorer 10 and Windows 8 are now both supported.  An iPad app for JDE is now available, and this utilizes much of the native iPad functionality, including the ability to take a picture and automatically attach it to a selected record in the database.  A great example of this would be selecting an employee record in the Employee Master, activating the iPad camera, and taking the employee’s picture.  This will save the picture as an attachment in the Employee Master, thereby making it available to anyone with access to this application.  Other changes to come include the Change Confirmation Feature, and potentially activating the UDC Dropdown Feature (this will be activated on a trial basis in the test environments).  The LOGIS JDE Support staff will begin developing E1 Pages – menus and / or work process flow can be converted to a more logical (and easier to navigate) “flow chart” layout.  Stayed tuned for changes to come!!

What’s New in Insight Software?

Date Posted: 06/24/13

Real-time Reporting for JDE Gets a Boost

In February, LOGIS completed an upgrade of Insight Software, the real-time reporting tool that smoothly integrates with JDE and greatly improves the speed and flexibility of user defined inquiries and  reporting by pulling information directly from the database.  Some new functionality includes:

• Stop query: Users now have the ability to stop a query while it is running by clicking the Stop button.
• Open-ended date range filters:  for either the “from” or “to” date. (This is for date-specific filters, not period ranges.)
• EnterpriseOne 9.1 Compatibility: Accessibility for all new fields introduced in EnterpriseOne V9.1 tables.
• Insight Scheduler is now available.  This allows reports to be delivered via email (in PDF and/or Excel format) to anyone, including individuals that do not have an Insight license.
• New templates have been added, including Master Data.
• All regular Insight users now have access to the Configurator functionality.
• Single Sign On has been activated.  This means users no longer are prompted to sign into Insight Software when launched from their regular workstation.

…and more!  The JDE team has also created new custom templates for frequently used reports and made these available to all appropriate JDE users.  To complete this round of updates, LOGIS held both Beginning and Advanced training for JDE Finance and HRPR users.  These were well attended, and we were lucky enough to have a representative from Insight come to our office to walk us all through some of the newer features during the Advanced trainings. So far, we have received great feedback that Insight Software truly makes JDE reporting faster than a rocket!
