# Lubenheimer ## Posts - [One Database Table Instead of Two: BC29's Quiet Performance Fix](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-table-extension-data-model-performance/): Business Central 29.0 merges table extensions into the base table's database table, removing a join on every operation. Why this quiet change matters for every environment with extensions. - [BC's MCP Server Can Now Query Data That Has No API Page](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-mcp-data-query-tools/): Business Central 29.0 lets agents define and run their own MCP data queries against tables with no API page yet — a second access path, with open questions on permissions and query syntax. - [Two of Your Copilots Are Flat Rate. The Third Has a Meter.](https://lubenheimer.com/two-copilots-flat-rate-third-has-a-meter/): Copilot Chat and the in-app Copilot features are flat rate. Cowork is the only one of the three with a meter — and the license is the entry ticket, not the coverage. - [Microsoft Clarifies: Business Central's Release Cadence Isn't Changing](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-release-cadence-clarification/): Microsoft clarifies that Business Central's twice-yearly release cadence is not changing — only how upcoming features get disclosed in advance. - [Business Central 29.0 Preview Has a Release Date — And Release Plans Don't](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-29-preview-release-plans-retired/): Business Central 29.0 preview overview: the Expense Agent's biggest upgrade yet, new MCP data query tools, composable report layouts, and why release plans are being replaced by the AI at Work Roadmap. - [PTE Deployment Moves to the Admin Center — And Business Central Just Set an Expiration Date on the Old Way](https://lubenheimer.com/pte-deployment-admin-center-extension-management-deadline/): Business Central 2026 Wave 1 brings full PTE lifecycle management to the admin center, with API v2.29 and an MCP server behind it. The part that matters more: install capability in the Extension Management page is being phased out, targeted for removal in BC 2027 wave 1. - [Seven of Ten Business Central Copilot Features Are Still Preview — Including Chat](https://lubenheimer.com/seven-of-ten-business-central-copilot-features-are-still-preview-including-chat/): Wer jede Feature-Seite einzeln statt der Marketing-Oberfläche prüft, findet: sieben der zehn Copilot-Features in Business Central sind weiterhin Preview — inklusive Chat, seit November 2024 ohne GA-Datum. - [Business Central's Semantic Search Feature Key Isn't Just for Chat — It's an MCP Fix Too](https://lubenheimer.com/business-centrals-semantic-search-feature-key-isnt-just-for-chat-its-an-mcp-fix-too/): Ein Feature Key seit November 2025, der Copilot von Keyword- auf Bedeutungssuche umschaltet — und offenbar auch die Tool-Suche im MCP Dynamic Tool Mode betrifft. - [Build Your Own Agent with the Custom Agent Designer — No Code Required](https://lubenheimer.com/build-your-own-agent-with-the-custom-agent-designer-no-code-required/): A while back I wrote about building your own agent in Business Central, and the honest summary was: yes, you can — if you’re comfortable with AL, agent tasks, and a fair bit of plumbing. That post aged fast. The interesting shift this year isn’t Build Your Own Agent. It’s Describe Your Own Agent. Microsoft’s in-product agent design experience — most of us just call it the Agent Designer, the docs call it the AI development toolkit for Business Central — lets you create an agent by writing down what it should do in plain English. No AL project, no VS... - [Copilot Studio Has Three Harnesses Now — And Picking One Is a Pricing Decision](https://lubenheimer.com/copilot-studio-has-three-harnesses-now-and-picking-one-is-a-pricing-decision/): Microsoft shipped something significant to Copilot Studio on August 3rd, and I think most people are going to read the wrong paragraph. The headline is that the GitHub Copilot harness is now generally available for production. It gives Copilot Studio the same coding and reasoning layer that sits behind Copilot Cowork and the GitHub Copilot coding agent. Microsoft describes the target scenario in a phrase worth memorizing: processes with “many steps, many sources, and ambiguous decision points.” That last part is the real change. Rules-based topics assume you know the decision points in advance. Plenty of the processes we actually get... - [Sales Order Agent vs. Payables Agent vs. Expense Agent — Which One Actually Earns Its Keep?](https://lubenheimer.com/sales-order-agent-vs-payables-agent-vs-expense-agent-which-one-actually-earns-its-keep/): Sales Order Agent vs. Payables Agent vs. Expense Agent — Which One Actually Earns Its Keep? Every customer conversation I’ve had this year eventually arrives at the same question, phrased in slightly different ways: “We’ve heard Business Central has agents now. Should we turn them on?” That’s not one question. It’s three, and they have three different answers. The Sales Order Agent, the Payables Agent, and the Expense Agent shipped at different times, sit at different maturity levels, hit different license and geography walls, and cost wildly different amounts per unit of work. Recommending “the agents” as a bundle is how... - [Stop Guessing — Agent Evaluation in Copilot Studio Is Now GA](https://lubenheimer.com/stop-guessing-agent-evaluation-in-copilot-studio-is-now-ga/): My agent testing process used to be world-class: open the test chat, fire off five questions, watch it answer, nod approvingly, ship it. Bulletproof. … Just kidding. That’s not testing. That’s vibes. And vibes don’t scale. They especially don’t scale when a stakeholder walks over and asks why the agent gave a confidently wrong answer to a customer last Tuesday, and your best evidence is “well, it looked fine when I tried it.” So here’s the good news. Agent Evaluation in Copilot Studio has been generally available since March 2026, and it’s been quietly getting better ever since. It started as... - [BC 2026 Wave 1: Agents for Every Seat — and a New Engine Underneath](https://lubenheimer.com/bc-2026-wave-1-agents-for-every-seat-and-a-new-engine-underneath/): It’s that time again — the BC 2026 Wave 1 release plan is out, and like every wave there’s a pile of features competing for attention. I’ve been reading through it with a notebook open, and three items kept jumping back at me. Not because they’re individually the most exciting (though some of them are), but because together they tell a pretty clear story about where Microsoft is heading with agents in Business Central. And there’s a fourth thread — a quiet engine swap — running underneath all of it. Here’s the pattern: this wave delivers an agent capability for every... - [Copilot Cowork + Plugins: Where the Real Value Hides](https://lubenheimer.com/copilot-cowork-plugins-where-the-real-value-hides/): If you’ve only watched the launch demo of Copilot Cowork, you’ve seen maybe a third of the story. The flashy part — Copilot taking action instead of just chatting, running tasks in the background, asking for approvals — that’s the headline. But the actual game-changer is the plugin layer. And almost no one is talking about it yet. Let me walk you through why I think this is the most important Microsoft 365 release of the year, and what it actually means once you turn on plugins. What Cowork Is (the short version) Microsoft announced Copilot Cowork on March 9, 2026,... - [Copilot Cowork — Microsoft's Most Interesting Copilot Feature Since Launch](https://lubenheimer.com/copilot-cowork-microsofts-most-interesting-copilot-feature-since-launch/): I’ve been spending a lot of time with Copilot Cowork over the past few days. And let me tell you — this one feels different. Not “nice incremental improvement” different. More like “this changes how I think about M365 Copilot” different. Let me walk you through what Cowork actually is, how it works under the hood, and why I think it matters for everyone in the Microsoft ecosystem. From Chat to Execution Here’s the thing about M365 Copilot so far: it’s been great at generating content within a single app. Draft an email in Outlook. Summarize a meeting in Teams. Create... - [Business Central 28 - Happy GA Day!](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-28-happy-ga-day/): # Business Central 28 Is Here — What You Need to Know About 2026 Release Wave 1 It’s April 1st and Business Central 28 just went GA. No April Fools’ joke — this is the real deal. And while BC28 doesn’t ship a brand-new headline agent like Wave 2 did with the Sales Order Agent and the Payables Agent, don’t let that fool you. This wave is arguably more important because it takes all those bold AI bets and turns them into production-ready infrastructure. Let me walk you through the features that matter most — with a clear focus on AI,... - [Build Your Own Agent in Business Central — No Code Required](https://lubenheimer.com/build-your-own-agent-in-business-central-no-code-required/): Business Central version 27.4 just dropped a feature that I’ve been genuinely excited about: built-in agents. And I don’t mean some half-baked preview that barely works — you can actually create your own digital co-worker right inside Business Central, without writing a single line of code. Let me walk you through how to set one up, give it a task, and see exactly what it does behind the scenes. Setting Up Your First Agent Getting started is surprisingly straightforward. Open the Agents page, then go to Design → Create Agent. That’s it — you’re in. If you want to get a feel for how... - [Business Central & Copilot Studio: The Power of Native MCP](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-copilot-studio-the-power-of-native-mcp/): With the release of Business Central 27.1, Microsoft introduced a game-changer for AI agents: the native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This feature allows you to connect Copilot Studio agents directly to your ERP data using a standardized, secure bridge that requires zero custom coding. Why this is a Breakthrough Instead of manually building complex connectors, you now use the official Dynamics 365 Business Central MCP Server tool in Copilot Studio. It automatically maps your BC API pages into “tools” that the AI can understand, search, and invoke dynamically. You no longer search for the data you need for your conclusion... - [Directions for Partners EMEA 2025 - Recap](https://lubenheimer.com/directions-for-partners-emea-2025-recap/): New Logo, gazillion tons of #AI – that’s it see you in Paris!…. Just kidding! This year, thirteen colleagues from @kumavision and I attended the #DirectionsEMEA conference in Poznań. It was our first time presenting at the conference. In our team session, we discussed #RAG and #Vector Databases for #BusinessCentral, and in my solo session, I demonstrated how easy it is to set up your #PowerAutomate flow directly in #BusinessCentral One of the main topics in the keynote was, of course, the agents in Business Central. First up were the #SalesOrderAgent and the #PayablesAgent. These two will automate nearly your entire... - [Directions EMEA 2025](https://lubenheimer.com/directions-emea-2025/): It’s that time of year again, and the annual meeting is approaching. This time, we’ll all come together in Poznań, Poland. Last year’s event in Vienna was already “AI-driven,” but this year they’re taking it to another level. There will be 231 sessions, 18 workshops, nine round tables, and 303 speakers. For the first time, I will be one of the speakers in two sessions. 🙂 Also, the FOMO is real: Can you believe that much content in only three days? I already know that by Friday, I’ll be running on fumes, but it’s worth it! Every. Goddamn. Second! Of course... - [Improved Copilot Features in Business Central 2025 Wave 2](https://lubenheimer.com/improved-copilot-features-in-business-central-2025-wave-2/): With the ability to create a preview sandbox for the upcoming Business Central Version 27, I checked out some of the new Copilot capabilities I mentioned in my last posts. Use enhanced analysis assist with Copilot | Microsoft Learn Thanks to one of the latest updates, we can now add fields from related tables to the analysis view. Let’s try it out. Prompt:Show me best selling item last year. Group by Item No.and sort descending by Amount Now let’s add related data via prompt:“Add item category code from item” I was unable to achieve the same result with one-shot prompting, but... - [Updated Copilot features for Business Central 2025 Wave 2](https://lubenheimer.com/updated-copilot-features-for-business-central-2025-wave-2/): Microsoft has quietly added some interesting features to its release plan for Business Central 2025 Wave 2. I previously reviewed the initial release plan here. Now, let’s take a look at what Microsoft has added. Find pages and reports with advanced Tell Me search | Microsoft LearnFinds results by semantic meaning, not only by text matches. Could enhance navigating through Business Central, depending on how good it works Payables Agent In my last post, I wondered where the features regarding the Payables Agent were because I was pretty sure that, when the Payables Agent was initially announced, it was announced for... - [Build your Business Central Agent - with Copilot Studio](https://lubenheimer.com/build-your-business-central-agent-with-copilot-studio/): Since we are still waiting for the official MCP release for Business Central, I was wondering what we can do without it for now. Our “low code/no code” tool of choice will be Copilot Studio. We will create our first agent and give him a simple instruction. We could share some knowledge with him. However, since I don’t want to use Dataverse, there’s nothing here for us. Instead, we provide our agent with some tools. Looks familiar? Yeah, it’s pretty much the same connectors that we know from the Power Platform when using Power Automate, for example. Let’s create a tool... - [Business Central 2025 Wave 2 - Release Plan](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-2025-wave-2-release-plan/): It’s that time of year when we receive the official release plan for Wave 2 of Business Central. This post provides an overview of the upcoming features. Copilot and Agents Did someone say AI? Sure, most of the time I’m one of those AI dudes. So, let’s see. Feature Enabled for Public preview General availability Give more instructions for the agent when you review its tasks Users, automatically Oct 2025 – Capture more sales with enhanced Sales Order Agent Users by admins, makers, or analysts Jul 2025 Oct 2025 Use Sales Order Agent to automate sales order-taking Users by admins, makers,... - [Ask Copilot about installed Apps in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/ask-copilot-about-installed-apps-in-business-central/): The newest version of Business Central, 26.3, allows us to ask Copilot about our installed apps. Chat with Copilot to learn how to use installed add-on apps | Microsoft Learn Copilot’s chat capabilities have been enhanced with the following: Now, let’s see some practical examples. I created a small “Tour Management” app in Business Central. So, let’s talk about a few things. Since there are no default fields, tables, etc., this looks good! Let’s try another one: Using the chat to gain insight into your work has been working just fine so far. What about explaining fields? It’s not really helpful,... - [Meet the new one - Payables Agent in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/meet-the-new-one-payables-agent-in-business-central/): In version 26.3 of Business Central, the Payables Agent overview has been made available as a preliminary feature. This feature is accessible through the Business Central | Microsoft Learn portal. In many cases, limitations are present. In this instance, a United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Australian, and New Zealand (NZ) environment is necessary for testing purposes. In the event that the tenant is located elsewhere, it is possible to create a new sandbox (Version 26.3) with one of the aforementioned localizations. This will allow the process to proceed. Setting up the Agent In the context of Business Central, few elements... - [Microsoft Agent-a-thon](https://lubenheimer.com/microsoft-agent-a-thon/): Yesterday, I had the great opportunity to participate in the Microsoft Agent-a-thon held in Munich, and it was an inspiring experience filled with valuable insights into Microsoft Copilot Studio and AI Agents. Throughout the event, it became increasingly clear to me how essential mastering Copilot Studio is, especially given its incredible flexibility. Whether you’re working with No-Code, Low-Code, or Pro-Code solutions, Copilot Studio provides the perfect toolkit tailored to your specific use case. One highlight of the event was seeing firsthand how effectively problems can be transformed into innovative and practical solutions through the careful application of AI Agents. A particularly... - [How to Add Fields from Related Tables in Analysis Mode – Business Central 2025 Wave 1](https://lubenheimer.com/how-to-add-fields-from-related-tables-in-analysis-mode-business-central-2025-wave-1/): Introduction Business Central 2025 Wave 1 introduces an exciting new feature: the ability to add fields from related tables while in Analysis Mode. This update is a game changer for users who rely on deep data insights and custom analytics – no more switching back and forth or asking your developer for every new column! In this post, I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to use this feature and show you where you can add screenshots to make your blog even more visual and engaging. Table of Contents 1. What is Analysis Mode? Analysis Mode lets you analyze and interact with... - [Autofill fields in Business Central with Copilot](https://lubenheimer.com/autofill-fields-in-business-central-with-copilot/): When you create a new record or edit an existing record, Copilot can suggest values for some of the editable fields on the page.Autofill is available for fields (but not rows or columns) in card and document pages such as customers, sales orders, items, or even your own custom pages. Suggestions are based on your company data and can be based on recently used values, commonly used values, or an intelligent selection from a range of values in a lookup or option field. They can also be AI-generated, depending on the field and context. Copilot simply suggests the value, giving you... - [Summarize in Business Central with Copilot](https://lubenheimer.com/summarize-in-business-central-with-copilot/): With the current release of Business Central 2025 Wave 1, we get a new Copilot functionality – Summarize with Copilot: Whether you’re looking at customer details, a large order, or any other record, you might spend a considerable amount of time on understanding the current state of your data and the fields that matter. Microsoft Copilot is the AI-powered assistant that helps spark creativity, boost productivity, and eliminate tedious tasks. Copilot summarizes a record into a couple of brief sentences, greatly reducing the effort needed to get to insights about your data and plan your approach. Sounds fun – let’s take... - [Business Central - Sales Order Agent](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-sales-order-agent/): With the preview for Business Central 26 we can finally test the Sales Order Agent Let’s see if there is something to worry about… When opening Business Central 26 you’ll find the Sales Order Agent Icon on the top right in your Role Center Currently Sales Order Agent is not processing any tasks because there is no quota available. I think this is caused by the upcoming release of Business Central 26. But never mind, since I tested it the last days I can show you all the interesting stuff 😉 Setup Let’s start with the agent setup: The first thing... - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 – What’s New?](https://lubenheimer.com/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-2025-wave-1-whats-new/): It’s that time of the year when you read more and more “What’s New” posts on LinkedIn, X, Bluesky and so on. And of course I don’t want to miss that 🙂 – I always refer to the official documentation and give my opinion to the areas, which is only my personal opinion. Copilot and AI Feature Enabled for Public preview General availability Chat with Copilot to learn how to use installed add-on apps Users, automatically Apr 2025 – Summarize with Copilot Users, automatically Apr 2025 – Use Sales Order Agent to automate sales order-taking Users by admins, makers, or analysts... - [Best Practice using Copilot in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/best-practice-using-copilot-in-business-central/): It has been a while since we were introduced to the Copilot features in Business Central. My two favorite features are Chat with Copilot and Copilot in Analyze Mode. I want to share some key takeaways from using these features and showing them to our customers. Let’s start with Copilot in Analyze Mode. Back in the “old” NAV or BC days, you had to know how filters worked. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still an advantage to know how to use them, but more and more users are coming to Business Central without knowing them or having problems using them. And... - [Mastering Snapshot Debugging in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/mastering-snapshot-debugging-in-business-central/): I have never been a big fan of the snapshot debugger in Business Central.If possible, I always tried to create a sandbox for debugging with the specific to-do. I never had the need to debug in a SaaS production environment – until now. So I jumped over my shadow and gave it a try, and surprisingly it worked really well. Not the results I had in mind when Snapshot Debugger was released. But how can you do this yourself? Let me show you with a real Business Central bug 😉 Navigate to Help and Support and select “Attach debugger to this... - [Boost Automation with Power Automate in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/boost-automation-with-power-automate-in-business-central/): Copilot, agents, and AI in general are the main topics of the moment. However, customers also want and need automation. With the built-in Power Automate capabilities in Business Central, you can automate several processes right out of the box. You’ll find this feature in the action bar on almost every page. But what can we actually do with it without extensive Power Automate knowledge? Let me show you. There are three options: So far, so good. But what do I mean by “out of the box”? We’re going to provide you with many templates for out-of-the-box processes that you can set... - [Transform Your Sales Process with Microsoft’s Sales Order Agent](https://lubenheimer.com/transform-your-sales-process-with-microsofts-sales-order-agent/): One of the highlights of this year’s EMEA Directions was, of course, the topic of agents. This is the next logical step in the whole AI/copilot game. Especially the so called “Sales Order Agent”. Nice name – but what can we expect?The Sales Order Agent helps your sales team spend more time with customers, while ensuring better order accuracy and faster fulfillment, according to Microsoft. Nice marketing text, but what does it do? The agent will “watch” a specific email account, e.g. the one where you receive orders from your customers. As soon as there’s traffic, the agent does its job:... - [Top Takeaways from Directions EMEA 2024 in Vienna Day 1](https://lubenheimer.com/top-takeaways-from-directions-emea-2024-in-vienna-day-1/): After an amazing event of Learn4D365 at the airport Schwechat it was time for the first day of Directions EMEA 2024 in Vienna. About 3200 attendees on site, hundreds of amazing sessions waiting and too little time. As always, the first thing to do is the keynote. And one thing to note first – Agent is the new Copilot. Or a part of Copilot, or a Copilot itself…. The first big thing was not Copilot, it was the Sales Order Agent. What? No Copilot? Well, still AI, but in this case called Agent. Pretty powerful tool when it works as shown.... - [Boost Productivity with Business Central Copilot Chat](https://lubenheimer.com/boost-productivity-with-business-central-copilot-chat/): Imagine you are working concetraded in a specific task, you are in the tunnel, and then BOOM the Phone rings…”Hello Neo, do you know who this is?”…sorry wrong turn. SChat with Business Central CopilotImagine you are concentrating on a certain task, you are in the tunnel, and then BOOM the phone rings…”Hello Neo, do you know who this is?”…sorry, wrong turn.So let’s say it’s not Morpheus calling you to save humanity from the machines, it’s “just” a customer who wants his last invoice mailed again.Normally, you would stop what you’re doing, open the posted invoices, find the customer (because he didn’t... - [Business Central 2024 Wave 2: New Copilot Feature for Sales Lines](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-2024-wave-2-new-copilot-features-for-sales-lines/): In Business Central, you already have the ability to create sales lines through Copilot: Here are some prompt ideas to generate your sales lines: You can also copy and paste email content into the prompt and the prompt will generate or suggest sales lines. With Business Central 2024 Wave 2, you can now upload a file (csv only for now) and Copilot will analyze it and suggest sales lines for you. Let’s have a look: My super complex file looks like this: For now, only comma-separated files are allowed. Let’s upload and see the result: The result is pretty good, although... - [Automate Performance Profiling in Business Central 2024 Wave 2](https://lubenheimer.com/automate-performance-profiling-in-business-central-2024/): For some time now, we have been able to use the Performance Profiler, or InClient Profiler, in Business Central when we need to troubleshoot performance issues. This tool is easy to use by almost any user and can help us get closer to various performance issues. With Business Central 2024 Wave, we now have the ability to schedule this profiling action instead of manually triggering it. So what’s the deal? In my experience, when a customer reports poor performance, we always advise them to use the profiler first. Performance issues are often very, let us say, subjective, not every user has... - [How to Use Copilot for Number Series in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/how-to-use-copilot-for-number-series-in-business-central/): Sometimes it can be a real pain in the neck – let us say head. To get rid of this pain, one of the “godfathers” of Copilot in Business Central, Dmitry Katson, made some contributions to the Business Central code, which luckily found its way into the product with Business Central 2024 Wave 2. Suggest number series with Copilot To use it, simply open the Number Series page and press the Copilot button: As with any other Copilot feature, you get some immediate ideas: So what exactly can we do: So all in all you have to do manually. So let’s... - [Substitute Items with Copilot](https://lubenheimer.com/substitute-items-with-copilot/): Depending on the size of your item catalog, it can be a challenge to find item substitutions when an item is out of stock or cannot be quoted or delivered for some other reason. In Business Central we have the ability to create item substitutions. So if an item is not available, the substitution kicks in. Like 2014 in Brazil. Do you remember? Mario Goetze was also a substitute… To get rid of the challenge of finding the right substitute, not everyone is Jogi Löw, you can use Copilot to help with this particular feature. Let me show you: Just open... - [Job Quere Error? Get notified via Mail or Teams with Power Automate](https://lubenheimer.com/job-quere-error-get-notified-via-mail-or-teams-with-power-automate/): Another small but very useful new feature in Business Central 2024 Wave 2. You can now create a Power Automate flow that notifies you via email or Teams when a job queue has an error.And the great thing is, you don’t have to do any fancy setup. It is that simple: Go to the Job Queue Entries page and click: Look for this template: Now take a deep breath and prepare for this massive setup: Just kidding. That was it – give it a name if the default does not fit, and add the addresses you want to receive the info.... - [Hidden Champion in Business Central](https://lubenheimer.com/hidden-champion-in-business-central/): Business Central 2024 Wave 2 has just started it’s official rollout and I am truly amazed that a feature, imho one of the hidden champions in Business Central, has gotten even better. I am talking about the analysis mode. Hope that you know what i am I am talking about, if not shame on you….I am just kidding. I am talking about this little button you can find on every list page in Business Central: This little friend turns your page into this: to this: If you use Excel or other BI tools, you may be familiar with this view. Have... - [Business Central 2024 Wave 2 - so what?](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-2024-wave-2-so-what/): My last blog post must be light years in the past…..anyway.As with every major release of Business Central, I’ve been taking a closer look at the new features and capabilities, and somehow – I don’t know – I’m not as excited at first glance as I was the last time. Why is that? In the last releases we had the Analyze function, Copilot, … and so on. But this time? No big changes at first glance. Let’s take a closer look and start with the user experience: Change the data search method in lists Sounds ok, but since we’ve been working... - [Business Central Data Search](https://lubenheimer.com/business-central-data-search/): Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 Business Central is introducing a feature that allows users to efficiently search for specific data across the platform. Recognizing that office workers spend nearly 20% of their time searching for information, this feature aims to streamline the search process. Users can initiate a search from the “Tell Me” dialog using the Alt+Q shortcut, regardless of where they are in Business Central. The search functionality is context-aware; for instance, if used within an editable page, it will automatically search for the value in the currently selected field. Search results prioritize the most relevant data based on the user’s role.... - [Troubleshoot straight from the Web Client](https://lubenheimer.com/troubleshoot-straight-from-the-web-client/): In Business Central 2023 Wave 2 (Version 23) you can troubleshoot instant from the Web Client.  There are two ways to open Visual Studio Code from the Web Client: 1. From Page Inspector: 2. From Help & Support Page: Regardless of which of these paths you use, VSC then starts work. First, the app.json and launch.json are created and all the required symbols are downloaded. Once you have started the Page Inspector function, the relevant objects are then opened in Explorer: When downloading the symbols, all dependencies of the object from which you started the function are taken into account. This... - [Using the Page Inspector to Highlight Fields on the Page](https://lubenheimer.com/using-the-page-inspector-to-highlight-fields-on-the-page/): Business Central 2023 Wave 2 (BC23) allows you to highlight fields on the page using the Page Inspector. Ever looked for a field and could not find it? No more. Even if the tab on the page is not expanded (show more), it will find the field. Here you can see that I am looking for the field “Your Reference”, which is not visible right now because the General tab is not expanded: After clicking on the field in the Page Inspector, the General tab expands and the field is highlighted on the page: If the field is not available on... ## Pages - [Videos](https://lubenheimer.com/97-2/): YouTube – Lubenheimer - [About](https://lubenheimer.com/ueber/): Just some Business Central Dude doing a Blog….
