New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2: Search in Company Data

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The first of the new functionality in the User Experience section is search in company data.

Office workers spend up to 20 percent of their working time searching for information. Finding specific information in a timely manner across different areas of a business management solution often requires tailored queries within different parts of it. Because the volume of data constantly increases, it becomes increasingly important to get relevant content fast.

Business Central now lets you search across all data that’s relevant for your role, and not just business transactions. The most relevant results show first, which saves valuable time and gives users the opportunity to focus on higher-value tasks.

Add actions that you want to make available in an easily discoverable and consistent way across the product for new users to quickly learn the product, or tailor it to your business-specific needs for proficient users.

The action bar is updated with improvements for all existing customers as they are updated to 2022 release wave 2.

The action bar is better at keeping related actions together and avoiding the same action being available in multiple menus. This helps reduce clutter and confusion, especially for users new to Business Central.
