error Important

The planned features for this release wave have been updated and this feature appears to have been removed.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.

The second of the new functionality in the Reporting and data analysis section is discover report and data analysis content easily.

End users can now discover report and data analysis content, including queries, reports, and Power BI pages, by using navigational search (Tell Me) or the new report explorer page. This feature minimizes the effort of finding report and data analysis content, making it more accessible and user-friendly.

Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
Public Preview: Sep 2023
General Availability: Oct 2023

Feature Details

Business Central comes with many options for reporting, business intelligence (BI) dashboards, and data analysis. In this release, Microsoft aim to make this content much easier to discover for users through search and a new report explorer page.

My Opinion

It is quite difficult at times to find reports which may be relevant. Anything which makes this easier is welcome and I look forward to reviewing how this enhancement can benefit users.
