This 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 User experiences section is Add Existing Table Fields To Optimize Your Pages.
The Microsoft Cloud empowers SMBs to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Workers and entire departments often need to customize their workspace for optimal data entry and viewing, and Business Central already provides a rich toolbox to hide, show, or move various UI elements.
In this wave, Microsoft are unlocking all table fields so that users can add them to their pages to personalize their workspace, without having to resort to extensions. By adding existing table fields to a page, customers can self-serve and reduce time to value while cutting implementation costs. Conversely, this frees up time for pro developers to focus on more rewarding implementation.
Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
