This session with @amurdock and @emcgee was excellent. I wish we’d had access to Activity Tracker when we moved to Kinetic. Still useful now though, to see what dashboards/menus/etc. are and are not being used.
@tpogue thank you for the positive feedback!
We will post a generic version of our dashboard and BAQ next week for others to use.
Yessss!
Activity Tracker was the biggest take away for us this year I think.
2025.2 is the last release with classic and no amount of prodding pushing or begging appears to have changed that. So Spark some Action and get a move on!
I was hoping to see more real action from Prism but it seems it just isn’t there yet, which is ok with me as a SaaS only offering I had been dreading the fight with execs but honestly it doesn’t do much of anything yet so we have a year or two before it becomes a serious point to consider me thinks.
I learned more from the group here and the customer led sessions.
As was discussed during the first EPIUsers.Help session, we need to do a better job volunteering to do more sessions. Maybe we should do a poll on what we think needs to be covered and get that arranged with Epicor. @timshuwy said
that is the way to get more of what we are wanting versus the “sales” sessions.
Funny that…Dedicated software better than some hand rolled proprietary thing. I’m sure I mentioned that Epicor should just stop wasting their time trying to build a better mouse trap…
As far as sessions are concerned… I think I mentioned to Kerrie that perhaps the bulk of the real content is on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday and booked endedwith the keynote/road ahead on Tuesday
Morning, and guest speaker/EUG on Thursday., even having the EUG in the afternoon. To be honest, I’d rather see the last one to just be replaced with classes, or at least overlap.
Yes! This!
It might be nice to have, as an interim step at least, an editable json code view in AppStudio. If it validates to schema then it’s good > preview > publish.
Then all we need is ‘save solution to folder’ and ‘open solution from folder’ which downloads/uploads json layers to a local folder. Initialize your repo on any source control you want.
Like so:
Source:
Take aways:
BAQ: T-SQL import in preview; (As cloud-only, wish I had an empty SQL db to play with)
SSRS: Generate > Download > Design > Preview > Publish now works in Kinetic. ( why not save a stored procedure having guid param for every RDD table to avoid messy SQL expressions, joins in RDL)
AppStudio: Auto-load checkbox makes preview hot-reload at design time!!! (prolly not new but learned someting and love it)
Functions: Next on tools roadmap for Kinetic. (@Olga , was doing dynamic BAQs on the fly from SQL via BAQ REST endpoint, I think, - need source code on this session)
APR: Last on the list for Kinetic, in PowerTools for interim, must redo all routings to pickup RDD changes - Ouch!
Sort of but not really there yet. Still many open PRBs that are not planned for resolution until 2025.2 which I think is cutting it very close - what if it still doesn’t work in 2025.2?
I think I will write a post. soon-ish…
Endpoint was DynamicQuerySvc,and query text was coming from Azure instance of gpt-4o
thanks! Great session! PS - while I have you, I had asked you about using multi-select search result in BAQ criteria and then found convertDelimListToSQL function which appears to format for T-SQL IN() clause. Is there docs on this? could it do more then Just IN()?
ie: Function: convertDelimitedListToSQL?
I thought this Demo was great. A mini version of Prism for us on-prem folks to play with.
I can see us implementing our own AI agent before moving from on-prem to cloud and purchasing Prisim.
Yes I really enjoyed the presentation. Hope you will share the code / examples. I’m especially interested in the copy user functionality
thank you. Copy employee in copy user is simplified - only EmpBasic stuff is copied. But yes, I will share the code.
They have to provide a funny picture first. We work for memes here.
Here they are:
Here’s @klincecum After Action Report.
That’s impressive.
It’s clearly AI.
Fake news!
