Often times users need customized look ups and you don't always want to create a "group" lookup because of data security or other considerations.

It would be very helpful to have the ability to copy a customized lookup from one user code to another in a similar fashion to how you can copy customized screens in Custom Office, especially if the ALE's have taken a bit of work to setup for the first user.

Please add this feature!!

  • I would like to see the ability to create new lookups (maybe as variations of the default) at the system level, and have the ability to assign the lookup to the appropriate Company / Users. For example. in searching Inventory items I would like to have a default lookup for all items, another filtered excluding Inactive Items, and another filtered showing only Inactive items. I can do this now, but I have to do this as a Custom Lookup at each users workstation. It would be much more efficient to be able to do this at the system level and assign it to the appropriate users.

  • Sage 500 has the ability to create or restrict lookups at the system level and push to users. This would be wonderful in Sage 100

  • I still can't believe Sage has not allowed such a feature to be able to copy or assign custom lookups to either All Users or specific users once the original was setup. Requests from clients have taken a lot of time to setup the layout and then have to manually recreate them for every user, which can be 20+ users is absurd in today's technology world. THIS NEEDS TO BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR SAGE DEVELOPERS. Not 2 versions from now, not even 1 version from now. It should be a product update. What are clients paying for with their yearly maintenance if not to get better functionality from it.

  • This is a must, and would save so much time to push it to other users.

  • I have a customer with 20 users. I can't tell them they all will have to create custom ALE. If I user the Lookup Wizard it only modifies the STANDARD and does not create a new view for all users.
