New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1: Experience Enhanced Adaptive Cards In Teams

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1.

The first of the new functionality in the Productive with Microsoft 365 section is Experience Enhanced Adaptive Cards In Teams.

Sharing Business Central records as cards in Microsoft Teams adds context to every conversation and helps people make data-driven decisions. Business Central offers multiple ways to share a record as a card, such as the Share to Teams feature in the web client, pasting a deep link to any page or record in Teams chat, or searching for business contacts directly from within Teams. Microsoft’s research indicates that the multiple steps required to include a card in a chat message often slows down the pace with which people communicate in chat. This update includes multiple enhancements that make adding a card easier than ever.

Feature Details

When Business Central users share a message that includes a Business Central card, the card itself now doesn’t require additional sign-in prompts and simply uses the current identity signed in to Teams to also sign in to Business Central.

Cards with a thumbnail image now consume less vertical space, allowing more surrounding content to show in the Teams chat or compose area. The card layout has been redesigned so that thumbnails are shown in a smaller size alongside fields.

Access denied errors, such as missing permissions to a record or environment, are more seamlessly integrated into the Teams experience.

The third of the new functionality in the Onboarding section is Refresh Of Content To Support Modern Tooltip UI.

Better guidance in field tooltips helps people understand how to complete business processes. The text in tooltips for fields is an important part of user assistance. With updated content and support for rich text variants such as bold and italic font styles, tooltips display guidance that’s helpful and easy to read.

Feature Details

Microsoft are improving the information in the tooltips that are shown most often for fields. Tooltips give a better understanding of the meaning and value of fields, and ultimately a better understanding of how to perform businesses processes. Good tooltips explain the nature of fields and the outcomes of setting them to a given value. Microsoft are updating the tooltips that people read most often, and applying the new abilities to display multiple paragraphs and apply italic and bold font styles. People will enjoy an improved reading experience and find it easier to digest information about fields in the context of the task at hand.
