“End User” Configurability
User Customizable Forms - Users can move fields, hide / reveal optional fields, change tab order etc. Changes are saved for the user automatically. A user can also copy preferences from another user, role or form.
Dynamic User Fields - Users can add their own fields to any record (e.g. Customer, Supplier, Product, Order). The fields can be applied to any form at any location.
User defined filters - Users can create filters that override standard search criteria on forms. The filters can be named (e.g. Today’s Big Orders) and saved. They can be made private or shared with other users.
