- [Instructor] The Dynamics GP Report Writer…is still with us, although now there's a lot more options…for reportings, such as Power BI,…SSRS, that's Sequel Server Reporting Services,…Excel-based Reports, and so many other choices,…but the original Report Writer…for what was originally called Great Plains…is still part of the system…and we do often need to understand how that works.…Let's look at a built-in report…that was built with Report Writer.…
On the Customer card, you'll notice…that there's a "Print" button,…so you can print out a little report…for the customer that you navigated to.…So, I printed out a report here for this customer.…Now, say that there was something about this report…that you really wanted to change.…It's almost exactly what you want,…but it has some slight tweaks.…I wouldn't recommend using Report Writer…for building reports from scratch,…but I would recommend modifying these reports.…
The easiest way to launch the Report Writer…is to run the report that you're looking to change…and then click the "Modify" button.…
