This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1.

This feature minimizes the effort it takes to find report and data analysis content, making it more accessible and user-friendly.

Feature Details
Business Central comes with many options for reporting, business intelligence (BI) dashboards, and data analysis. This release makes this content much easier to discover through search and a new report explorer page.
In the search experience, Microsoft include the title and description from teaching tips (if defined by the developer), so that users can better decide whether the report, page, or query is what they’re looking for to solve their analytics need.
The role explorer has explanations on all entries, so that when you hover over a report, page, or query, you’ll find:
- The title and description from the teaching tip (if defined).
- You can open the report, page, or query in a new browser tab without closing the explorer view.
- An icon that helps you decide whether this is a report that delivers Excel or PDF files, whether the page is a Power BI report, or whether the query supports data analysis.
