Getting pumped for the Day 2 keynote. The DJ helps people get into the "I'm excited mode" that is the hallmark of these kinds of events. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/EJ6VUGjknm

Now flashing the "summit is great" video that's designed to stir your emotions and it does a pretty good job of it #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/M3w7mEriQY

Ali Jani runs onto the stage pumping his fists like Steve Balmer 😀 #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/pa05luIXDv

Biggest takeaway from Ali from yesterday is Digital Transformation. I think we consultants need more physical transformation personally. Ali is still panting from running on stage. I would sound the same, I'm so out of shape from sitting in front of the computer. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/oNzseYk059

Now Ali talking about how much they invest in the technology stack that we can't see. Acumatica loves the tech. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/jBbzDB6h4M

Not just about the technology though, also about this stuff. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/ZfVAmumEkg

Now @WebBased and @JessicAcumatica take the stage to give us some demos #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/2ri5p64ik2

We're going to do tailor some workflow with low code / no code for a research company that has intellectual property, not physical goods #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/ccAIxP2GJf

Highlighting meter tiles in Dashboards. They look nice, but they also have teeth since you can use Inquiry values to feed them. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/9JLq0A2jm5

Not all about fancy-looking Widgets. Data Tables are important too. You can now sort on a column by simply clicking on a column heading. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/g96FyJF4cT
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
The toolbar on top with the green button is a lot cleaner now, with the ability to set the colors to whatever you want. You also get the … button for additional actions #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/H02HcKcrz5
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
While @DataQuestHello likes to correctly call this the "ellipsis" button, @JessicAcumatica and I like to call it the "three dots" button 😀 #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/qVlXFFz8En
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
Simply favorite something on the "three dots" menu and it will now appear as a button on top. No code! #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/4lnxMQQFQ4
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
You can now create CRM Tasks from a Business Events trigger without using code! There was a way to do this previously, but it was really clunky. Now it's an official option on the Business Events screen. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/2hgYE8bAHL

Doug now picking up a Task and sending an email within Acumatica using the new TRACKING tab on 2nd screenshot with SendGrid integration that tracks opens, clicks, etc. I'm pretty sure that @gabrielmichaud built this years ago on GitHub and now it's in the product #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/cBHNAzDYMg
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
Wow, they did this live. @JessicAcumatica opened the email and @WebBased sees the Open Rate Widget on his Dashboard update in real time. Risky demo, but it worked! Acumatica not afraid of risky demos. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/PcXRiBiwJP
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
Doug modified the workflow with the new workflow engine, added the purple section, and dragged arrow between "Credit Hold" and "Research" sections. He calls people who do this "Acumatica Heros". I like that! #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/CTpqJuam9A

Wow! There is now a DAC Schema Browser in Acumatica!!! This drew the most applause from the audience, BY FAR. Thank you! #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/13yPR0Kfy1
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
Now @ajoyk back onstage and even he references the applause from the audience for DAC Schema Browser since it was so significant #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/9hZemXYb5H

Josh is going to buy from the SureBet website built with BigCommerce. The Related Products on the right are pulling from the screen that Debra showed. The personalized text field flows into Acumatica on the Sales Order. Cool @ryeplus? #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/oEv0jmTaBb
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) July 20, 2021
This page was built by BigCommerce automatically from the Acumatica data. Didn't need to do anything manually in BigCommerce. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/gjpso02Ooa

First scanned location, then the items. Using a Zebra gun for this. Recommended to put a big screen in the warehouse to show picking progress. #AcumaticaSummit pic.twitter.com/JZ8vqUPCPu
