This post is part of a series on the new functionality available in Wave 1 of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023. This release is the second with which I will be working since my move to Dynamics BC from Dynamics GP last year.

In this series of posts, I am going to take a look at what is new with Business Central in this release wave. My understanding is the announced new functionality will become available between April and September so not all of it will be available immediately. When posting about some new functionality, I’ll try to indicate where something will be available.

I will also try to include some commentary on the new functionality being introduced.

This series index, below (assuming you’re reading this on azurecurve | Ramblings of an IT Professional), will automatically update as each post in the series goes live, so make sure you bookmark this post so you can see keep up-to-date with this series.

one of the new items of new functionality in Dynamics BC 2022 Wave 2 is the “company badges” which was announced as part of the switch companies across environments enhancement.

Company badges are shown in the app bar at the top of the window next to the environment identifier. The company badges are set on the Company Information page which you can access by searching for comp inf and selecting Company Information under Go to Pages and Tasks:

In the previous article in this series, I showed how customizations could be made via a profile for sharing. This is very useful, but at times you’ll want to create and test a profile on a dev or UAT system and then want to migrate it live.

Fortunately, this is possible to do using the export/import functionality available in the Profiles (Roles) window.

Click the More ellipsis » Export Profiles action on the action bar:

So far I’ve shown how to personalize Dynamics BC to make pages, FactBoxes and action bars, but only for the user you’re log in as. However, it is possible to personalize Dynamics BC for multiple people via a profile. A profile is the personalization name for a role which can be assigned to users and give them the same set personalizations.

In this article, I’m going to show how you can create a profile of personalizations.

Start off by searching for Profile and select the Profiles (Roles) list page:

In the previous article in this series, I covered how to personalize the action bar. There are two main recommendations I’d make when doing this personalization.

Firstly, place the most frequently used action buttons on the main action bar itself or on the first tab to give quick access.

Secondly, place the action buttons in the order of use, so that when you’re working you can start with the first option on a menu and work downwards.
