Create Utility that will update ALL udf/udt fields globally at the same time. Currently, when installing an update (e.g. v4.4), the UDF's must be updated one table at a time. This used to be tolerable when the number of tables was lower, but now that any table can have a udf, this process is quickly becoming VERY time consuming. In addition, if you miss a table, you run the risk of MAS not seeing the table during a critical update. While this suggestion is geared toward resellers, end users who DYI will benefit greatly. It is all about EASE of use.

  • Great idea! I'd only add that maybe a check box style UI was available to allow user to select/deselect a specific table for consideration (as not all tables may need the UDF).

  • Excellent Idea, but I would prefer to see the UDF/UDT updates happen at the same time that you do a data conversion in company maintenance.

  • I agree, as a partner or anyone who updates UDFs not only at the time of install but also after installing a product update, this would be helpful.
