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 eighth of the new functionality in the User experiences section is Improved alignment of headers in statistics pages.
The default behavior across Business Central is to right align numeric fields and left align text fields. However, when pages display fields arranged in special tabular layouts, such as customer statistics or on most journal footers, the mixed data types often result in column headers being misaligned with their data. With this update, users benefit from improved readability of data with automatically aligned headers.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Feb 2023
General Availability: Apr 2023
Feature Details
- Improved readability: When a fixed layout group control is used on a page, Business Central automatically detects the first visible value in a column, and the header is left-aligned or right-aligned accordingly.
- Just works: No additional effort is required from developers to specify alignment.
My Opinion
This sounds like a simple change which will, as advertised, improve visibility by displaying data with a consistent alignment.
