Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should …

demiliani.bsky.social•94 days ago

That you cannot ask developers to add flowfields everywhere 😂

hougaard.bsky.social•94 days ago

For that use Simple Object Designer :)

The good consultant has a heart of a developer.
In a jar on the desk.
😂

You can do the first debugging yourself.

blicen.bsky.social•94 days ago

Word layouts 😊?

matnav.co.uk•94 days ago

I’m better than most of our devs at those.

RDLC on the other hand…

To fully understand client's requirement. To thoroughly check if new requirement already exists in BC or other available solutions, or to propose BC solution to the requirement even if requirement/process has to be changed (as long as the final result is the same).

Good repo scenarios. Use the page scripting tool now record screen. If you can answer the question “how would you do this manually?” a dev can automate it.

Which consultants? New ones? Or ones who used to be able to access the development environment and run SQL queries in the actual database?

waldo1001.bsky.social•94 days ago

New ones :-)

matnav.co.uk•94 days ago

To start, they need to understand tables, fields, relationships, data types, primary keys; what the different objects are and what they’re for; what flow fields are; option sets & enums; if-this-then-that-else logic. They need to know what’s easy, what’s possible, what’s hard and what can’t be done

There’s more but it’s late and I need to go to bed. Happy to talk it over though.

how to communicate efficiently with the developers and doing basic investigation beforehand

Explain your problem to me, not the solution you want me to find 😉

Master data->Journals->Ledgers (Something "we" take for granted, but is still a surprise to lots of people).

yossy2003.bsky.social•93 days ago

Maybe... listening to the customers about their requirements and explaining to the developers what the customers really want.
These days, it's hard for new functional consultants to learn BC table structures. By the way, a functional consultant isn't a technical person, right?

somcom.bsky.social•94 days ago

Developers are relaxed people and you can get almost anything from them, but don't talk to them if they are looking for a bug

diegorp5.bsky.social•94 days ago

That anything you think is obvious and not mentioned is something that developers will not make.

If the partner you work for isn’t too cheap to buy licences for consultants.

waldo1001.bsky.social•93 days ago

matnav.co.uk•93 days ago

Indeed.

mrabus.bsky.social•93 days ago

Do these partners really exist? A Basic license for Azure DevOps is ~5€ 😨

matnav.co.uk•93 days ago

I don’t *think* I’m imagining it. Sadly.

bc.jeremy.vyska.info•93 days ago

You're not. There are partners that will not pay for the basics.

witoldszal.bsky.social•93 days ago

We teach new people programming and functionality. So juniors should know typical processes, functionality, data structure and programming to some extent. Later they choose a specialization: development or functionality. I think that this approach facilitates and speeds up communication.

📌

navfreak.bsky.social•94 days ago

Don't send screenshots of a page you wonder about without specifying the page number by "zooming"

miljance.bsky.social•94 days ago

Send me a call stack from the error also, not just an error.

nataliekarolak.bsky.social•94 days ago

I want to stress that one. They always send me a screenshot of the error instead ... despite all the UI improvements to motivate them to "copy the error".

kevinrosendaal.nl•93 days ago

Or simply the “Nothing to post.” dialog 😂

waldo1001.bsky.social•93 days ago

Screenshots?

miljance.bsky.social•94 days ago

I think consultants will get used to it eventually. Because the problems can be qualified much faster.
