This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The fourth of the new functionality in the Onboarding section is new field descriptions improve clarity.

Microsoft have made it easier to get started and unblocked with Dynamics 365 Business Central by providing better tooltip descriptions for sensitive and essential fields.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022

Business Central includes many fields on each page, and the field descriptions, or tooltips, provide a first layer of self-help for users. In this release wave, Microsoft have improved these tooltips for essential and sensitive fields so that it’s easier to learn how to use Business Central. Based on analysis of how tooltips are used, they’ll improve and clarify the text to make the descriptions easier to understand. This element of embedded user assistance reduces friction in learning how to use Business Central, which ultimately boosts satisfaction with the product.

The third of the new functionality in the Onboarding section is easily install and set up new apps.

Easier onboarding of ISV add-ons for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022

In earlier versions, users who installed an app from AppSource or through the Extension Marketplace page in Business Central were guided to initiate the installation. After that, the user had to remember to go to the Extensions Management page, find the Deployment Status subpage, and there find information about the installation status. This caused friction and wasn’t a helpful experience for getting apps.

In this release wave, the app installation guide in Business Central is improved so the user can choose to wait for the installation of the app and subsequent initiation of the setup page that was brought by the app. This allows for a smoother app installation experience from beginning to end.
