In this release wave, Microsoft added a new experience in Business Central so that users can easily discover and install third-party apps that connect to external business productivity services, such as banks. This capability is powered by AppSource and provides an additional layer of app suggestions to let users filter by category, so they can easily choose the type of offer they are looking for.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2: Easily Access Setup Pages for New Apps

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis 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 first of the new functionality in the Onboarding section is easily access setup pages for new apps.

Microsoft have provided easy access to an app’s setup page from the Extensions Management page so you can use apps faster in Business Central, both large vertical add-ons and smaller productivity apps.

In earlier release waves, users told Microsoft they couldn’t figure out what to do next after they installed an app. They also said they didn’t know where to find any setup pages. In this release wave, Microsoft have added an option to run a setup page directly from the Extensions Management page if the app has specified a setup page. The developer of the app should provide a reference to the setup page in the app manifest, so that Business Central knows which page to run for the specific app.

In practical terms, two new features have been added:

  • An ability to get an overview of setup pages brought by an app, if the app registers those in the Guided Experience Item table.
  • A new action on the Extensions Management page that runs the page that the developer specified.
