This 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 Onboarding section is easily access setup pages for new apps.
Microsoft have provided easy access to an app’s setup page from the Extensions Management page so you can use apps faster in Business Central, both large vertical add-ons and smaller productivity apps.
Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022
In earlier release waves, users told Microsoft they couldn’t figure out what to do next after they installed an app. They also said they didn’t know where to find any setup pages. In this release wave, Microsoft have added an option to run a setup page directly from the Extensions Management page if the app has specified a setup page. The developer of the app should provide a reference to the setup page in the app manifest, so that Business Central knows which page to run for the specific app.
In practical terms, two new features have been added:
- An ability to get an overview of setup pages brought by an app, if the app registers those in the Guided Experience Item table.
- A new action on the Extensions Management page that runs the page that the developer specified.
