Data visualization through tools like PowerBI is now critical. You need to see how your business is running, and understand the dials to move for best performance. Dashboards are only as good as the data behind them. In this session, we’ll show you how you can mistakenly create what appears to be a useful dashboard in Excel or PowerBI, but isn’t relevant due to poor data management.  We will then walk you through best practices and tools for effective data organization and governance processes, so you can ensure you will walk away with accurate dashboards that will drive stellar results.

Configuring a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations system requires settings on hundreds of forms. In this session, we look at how you can use data management to streamline the setup of a new system with spreadsheets. Once you have these spreadsheets, they can be used to guide you through the setup in an orderly fashion.

This type of configuration is not without challenges, including the format of the data, number of spreadsheets required, the order to run the sheets. Laura has been fully configuring systems since AX2012 with spreadsheets for 7 years and will walk you through the challenges and ways to overcome them.

Do you have multiple companies? Should you use copy company or some other methodology? Let’s look at the pros and cons of copy company vs. rerunning the same spreadsheets into the new company (ies).

Once you’ve configured you have to migrate data. Some of the challenges with data migration are similar but there are also unique challenges as well. Next we talk about the differences between configuration and data migration and how you use the data management framework differently for data migration. Customers and vendors have some real challenges to be able to load this data and then update it if addresses or other information changes. There are some techniques that can be used to guarantee updates are possible without having to look up record ids, party numbers, or address/location ids. 

Learning Objectives:

•Understand the challenges with loading many data entities at once and ways to overcome those challenges
•Using Excel to help build the data to be loaded
•Knowing what to migrate from legacy systems and key data entities that will be required
•Steps to validate data
•What to do when you make a mistake and all that bad data is in your system

Audience: Functional and Technical staff responsible for configuring D365 Finance and Operations and loading data from other systems

Level: Intermediate

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of data management framework required

Preparation: Please bring your own internet capable Windows PC to class for the hands on lab portion/class exercises.

Ever wonder what the folks in IT are doing when you ask them to pull data for you from Dynamics GP? Did you ever wish you could do it yourself? Well join us for this fun hands-on class and soon you’ll be speaking and using SQL like a pro!

We’ll start from the very beginning and teach you the elements of a SQL query with a focus on the Dynamics GP data structure. SQL allows users to ask a question of the database, and have it answered in a very specific way. Although it may look like gibberish to you today, SQL is one of the most logical languages there is and we intend to make it easy for you to read and write it, but beyond that, SQL actually allows you to ask a series of leading questions, coupled with specific commands, grouped together to get to the answer you really want. It’s like truth serum for your data!

Through interactive lectures and hands on examples, attendees of this class will learn:

•Understand how to employ SQL to get data out of Dynamics GP
•What is SQL and how can it be used in relation to Dynamics GP
•The components of an SQL Select query
•Different ways to connect data sources (JOINS and UNIONS)
•How to find data within Dynamics GP
•SQL Functions that can make queries better
•What to do with your query after it is written
•What are UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE commands?
•How do we build a query, stored procedure, or function? For that matter, what are queries, stored procedures, and functions?
•More SQL functions, and how they help us navigate our Dynamics GP data.
The class will start out assuming attendees know nothing about SQL or programming and will quickly progress them to a point where they can effectively ask a complex question of their Dynamics GP database, as opposed to waiting for someone else to ask it for them.

After the basics, attendees will quickly advance to a point where simple reporting, data manipulation, or support needs needn’t wait on an IT resource to be available.

Audience: Anyone who wants to understand SQL

Level: Beginner

Prerequisites: An open mind and a positive attitude.

Preparation: 

•Students should bring an internet capable Windows laptop computer to the course.
•The detailed instructions for connecting and attending the class will be sent a week prior to class. 
•There will be short installation that will need to be completed, in order for you to have access to the training environment needed for labs and exercises.
•Your instructor will use a hands-on training environment.
