In this episode of the JDE Connection, hosts Chandra and Paul discuss recent updates in JD Edwards, including new features for enterprise automation, sustainability tracking, and long-awaited enhancements like rich text formatting in workflow messages, but the main focus of the episode is UDO (User Defined Object) Security. Paul explains what UDOs are—tools that allow users to personalize and extend JD Edwards functionality without heavy technical debt or custom coding—and describes their lifecycle. Chandra then walks through the steps to enable, secure, and manage UDOs, sharing real-world tips from her own organization and discussing best practices, especially around orchestrations and security roles.
