Smartlist Designer stuck in exploring.....

Posted on by Brenda Willey 2,510

I have a Smartlist created from a SQL View that ran for an hour last night and brought no data to the screen.  It never said completed always Exploring.  I have brought this SL down to the most basic and it still will not work as a SQL View in SLD...

[UPR00100].[EMPLOYID] AS 'Employee ID',
[UPR00100].[EMPLCLAS] AS 'Employee Class',
[UPR00100].[LASTNAME] AS 'Last Name',
[UPR00100].[FRSTNAME] AS 'First Name',
[UPR00500].[DEDUCTON] AS 'Deduction',
[UPR00500].INACTIVE AS 'Inactive',
[UPR00500].[DEDNPRCT_1] AS 'Deduction Percent[1]',
[UPR00500].[DEDCAMNT_1] AS 'Deduction Amount[1]'
from [UPR00100]
    inner join [UPR00500]
    on [UPR00100].[EMPLOYID] = [UPR00500].[EMPLOYID]
   

When i run the Select statement in SQL i get 4083 rows.  Any ideas??

    I just had this problem (SmartList stuck in "exploring", no results) after upgrading our internal GP to 18.3.1200.  It worked for user sa but not for anyone else even with POWERUSER security.  Grant statement had been run.  Finally opened up the SmartList and looked at the query. It used a function.  Had to go into SSMS, find the function and give permissions to the DYNGRP.  The Grant statement only covers tables and views, not functions.

    The issue was when the view is created from the Select statement it creates the field names with spaces.  We replaced the spaces with underscores and it worked perfectly in Smartlist.

    After you created the view, did you Grant Security to the view to DYNGRP?

    GRANT SELECT ON 'view_xxxxx' TO DYNGRP

    Did you Grant Permissions in SmartList Builder Security to the SQL View?

    Microsoft Dynamics GP > SmartList Builder > Security > SQL Table Security > Views

    Are any of the Fields set to Default in the SmartList?

    After security issues, the most common thing I see is someone using a custom SmartList based on a view that was created in only one company database, and not the company they are currently in.
