Training Description: This end-user course introduces the functionality of the Acumatica ERP data retrieval tools such as generic inquiries, advanced filters, pivot tables, and dashboards. The course is based on a set of examples demonstrating data retrieval and processing to form data representations. The course is intended for advanced Acumatica ERP users who are familiar with the user interface and main principles of the system. On completing the course, you will have an understanding of how to use Acumatica ERP to retrieve data and manage it.
Training Syllabus: The program is covered over three days as follows:
- Day 1: Managing Generic Inquiries. In this session, you will learn how to inspect UI elements to find the underlying data fields and how to make a copy of an existing generic inquiry. You will learn how to modify an existing generic inquiry by hiding or revealing columns, adding a data field to the results, changing the caption of a column, specifying the default navigation setting of a column in the inquiry results, adding a quick filter to the inquiry results, including deleted records in the inquiry results, and selecting the table to which files and notes will be attached. You will also learn how to modify an existing generic inquiry by grouping the inquiry output, by aggregating the inquiry output, and by adding a default sort order for the inquiry output. Moreover, you will learn how to add a Selection area with parameters so that users of the generic inquiry form can view the most relevant data for their current information needs, specify conditions to limit the listed data by default and how to modify an existing generic inquiry by using formulas.
- Day 2: Managing Generic Inquiries. In this session, you will learn how to specify different navigation options from generic inquiries to make the user's work easier, how to substitute an inquiry form for a data entry form. You will learn how to export and import a generic inquiry form as an XML file, how to export a generic inquiry form as an RPX file, and how to export inquiry results to an XLS file. Also, you will learn how to prepare to create an inquiry, create a simple inquiry with one table, publish an inquiry. Moreover, you will learn how to retrieve data from multiple related data access classes and how to expose a generic inquiry form by using OData.
- Day 3: Managing Advanced Filters, Pivot Tables, and Dashboards. In this session, you will learn how to access an exposed generic inquiry through Microsoft Excel and how to configure cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) to access an exposed inquiry through client-side web applications, how to set up access rights to generic inquiries, and how to create, share, modify, delete advanced filters and create personal filters based on shared filters. You will also learn how to configure a pivot table as a separate form and make it available to other users, modify the generic inquiry that is used as the basis for a pivot table while you are configuring the table and configure a pivot table as a filter tab on an inquiry form and share it with other users. Moreover, you will learn how to design a dashboard and manage access rights for the viewing, configuration, and personalization of dashboards.

*To provide a cloud instance for attendees, we need to generate a registration report and perform some activities to deploy the instance and send out the credentials. All this takes time and we have to do it several hours before the webinar. So we highly recommend not leaving the registration up to the last minute of the webinar start. Everyone who registers after 6 AM PT of Day 1 session will not receive the link to the cloud instance and credentials for it and will have to attend a webinar in a view-only format.
