  • 1.  SAGE 100 v2022 - S/O Custom Lookup View - Is there a report?

    I have a client running SAGE 100 v2022. Their Customer Service rep is on a computer that I cannot access. She uses a custom S/O Lookup View on her computer called "UPS WorldShip". She then exports this view to an excel spreadsheet. Is there a report that shows how this view is set up. The client wants me to copy this view to other users/computers. See attached screen shot. 

    TIA

    ALE settings are stored in SOA files, with no way to query / design a report on that data, as far as I know.

    The easiest thing to do would be to screen share with the user, and take screen shots of the settings.

    (I don't think you can add a named custom lookup in bulk, but you can edit Standard...).

    @Kevin Moyes Thanks for your input. I was expecting this was the answer. Just will take a little more effort to give the client what they want. 

    THANKS

    If the other users are going to export the information to Excel, then what about creating an Excel query to replicate the lookup information?  Put the Excel spreadsheet in a shared folder.  Users could pull it up as needed and refresh.  Very simple to do.

    Aren't ALE views user/company-specific, and therefore couldn't you just log in under her Sage 100 logon on any computer?

    Or what about just viewing the Excel export to see what columns of data are present? - although I suppose that wouldn't include the filter info

    @Brett Zimmerman Thank You for these suggestions. I believe you might be correct. I will try the Sales Order Rep's SAGE user code on a computer that I have access to and try this.

    @Brett Zimmerman  I logged into a computer I have access, with the Customer Service Rep's SAGE 100 user code. I was able to create screen grabs of the UPS WorldShip view. Now I can set the same view for other SAGE 100 users.

    You could also use a BIE Explorer view saved as a Public setting, these export easily to Excel and would survive upgrades without any touches.
