RE: Version 8.2 GUI, green screen or web

Wendy,

We went from full GUI to 'green screen' 8.2.  Our finance folks were
unhappy that the 'cut and paste' functionality was gone in green screen
but we were able to make them happy by installing Global Soft's
Spreadsheet Server which allows then to pull data from BPCS and work
with it in an Excel format.

Green screen is much more stable and navigation is a breeze.  The  "I'm
stuck" problems have ceased completely and we no longer spend hours
turning 'in use' flags off.  I would advise scrapping GUI altogether.
However, if your accounting folks demand GUI, both types can be run
simultaneously in 8.2

Good luck,

Our company is going from version 6.1.2 mixed mode to version 8.2

I'm curious which form companies on 8+ are using.  IT would rather
everyone went to green screen, but our accounting department prefers the
GUI environment.  Which are you using and why?
