Enhancing Productivity with Dynamics 365 Business Central: User Interface and Management Tips


Navigating the complex functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can significantly enhance your operational efficiency. This guide provides essential tips for optimizing your user interface and managing user roles effectively, ensuring that your Business Central experience is as productive and secure as possible.


User Interface Enhancements:


  1. Personalize Your Dashboards: Customize your dashboard to display essential information at a glance, minimizing the need to search for data. Personalization allows you to drag, drop, and pin the most used workspaces and tiles, tailoring the dashboard to meet individual requirements.

  2. Migrate Personalization: Share customized dashboards across your organization by exporting and importing dashboard settings as XML files. This feature is especially useful for administrators who manage role-specific dashboard setups.

  3. Optimize Speed with Fast Tabs and Fact Boxes: Enhance system performance by collapsing Fast Tabs and Fact Boxes when not in use, as they only consume memory when expanded. This simple action can improve the responsiveness of Business Central.

  4. Hide Sidebars: Manage sidebars effectively to maintain visibility of the main interface. Click outside an active sidebar to temporarily conceal it without losing your place, ensuring continuous workflow.


Effective User Management:


  1. Be Careful with Permissions: Allocate system permissions judiciously to minimize security risks. Limit access to functionalities essential for each role, preventing unnecessary exposure to sensitive information.

  2. Offboard Old Accounts: Promptly deactivate accounts of former employees to safeguard your system from unauthorized access and potential security breaches. Regularly audit user access to maintain a secure and efficient user base.


Workflow Optimization:


  1. Leverage Keyboard Shortcuts: Utilize keyboard shortcuts to expedite daily tasks. Beyond basic shortcuts like copy and paste, learning specific shortcuts for Business Central can drastically reduce time spent on repetitive actions.

  2. Use Bookmarks for Easy Access: Bookmark frequently accessed pages or reports to quickly navigate to them from your Role Center. This feature enhances your ability to retrieve necessary information swiftly.

  3. Automate Workflows with Power Automate: Integrate Business Central with Microsoft Power Automate to link your software suite and automate repetitive tasks. This connectivity not only streamlines operations but also boosts overall productivity.
