Ability to dock query generated grid windows to a form in a particular place (e.g. Business Partner Master Data)
Not planned
We've just started using SAP B1 and without Boyum Usability Package, it wouldn't be half the product it is - thank you for that!
When we speak to a customer on the phone and look them up on SAP B1, upon opening their business partner record, we would like to see any related marketing campaigns and sales documents automatically.
We have written queries for this and activate on form load of the BP.
However, from a usability point of view, it would be extremely useful for us to be able to dock the opened query results window to a the main BP window in a particular place. e.g. in the screenshot provided I'd like to be able to doc the "Related Campaigns" to the top right of the Business Partner window and the "Related Quotations" directly underneath it.
You already allow us to specify the height and width of the query result windows together with individual column widths which is great but when they're closed, they don't even re-open in the same place they were moved to so it's visually messy every time they open.
I obviously don't know if this is possible but am hoping it is as the UDF window always appears to the right of the BP Master Data window and resizes automatically to the height of the form that hopefully you might be able to control it somehow!
Thanks for you time and for making such a fantastic product :-)
Kind regards,
Ellis

Hi Elis,
First of all, thanks for the product feedback. :)
Unfortunately, it's not possible to see your screenshot.
However, I guess what you're looking for can be handled with SQL Report Tab.
Have a look at this video and let us know:

Hi Fernando,
Many thanks for the quick response.
The SQL Report Tab is a great feature but it relies on someone remembering to click on the tab to see the information rather than the information automatically being displayed as soon as a Business Partner is accessed. We could make the Tab automatically get focus as soon as the BP is loaded but we want to see the information in the SQL reports as well as see and enter information on the other tabs of the BP.
It sounds like a small difference but when you're on the phone with a customer / lead, having as much critical information visible as possible, as quickly as possible (and automatically) makes a big improvement.
Our suggestion would allow you to automatically see multiple SQL reports no matter which tab you were viewing as they would be docked to the side of the BP screen (like the UDF screen is) so you could simultaneously see and edit information on the other tabs.
If the UDF screen was visible (which always docks to the right of the window your viewing) and the user chose to dock to the right of the BP window, then the SQL Reports could dock to the right of that. Hopefully you'd be able to let them dock above, right, below and left of the main screen.
A very important usability feature would be to automatically close the SQL Reports that were opened when the corresponding parent screen was also closed (in our example it would be the "Related Campaigns" and "Related Quotations" reports from the business partner screen).
I've tried uploading the screenshot again and hopefully it now displays correctly:
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Kind regards,
Ellis
