Important
The planned features for this release wave have been updated and this feature appears to have been removed.
This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.
The fifth of the new functionality in the User experiences section is manage user expectations with selection context-based actions.
Microsoft have made the experience of using actions on pages easier to understand and more consistent. While you’re working, only the actions that are relevant to your current selections are available. Because only the actions you can use are available, you’ll spend less effort on trying to figure out what you can do with your selections.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Sep 2023
General Availability: Oct 2023
Feature Details
You might want to request approval for multiple documents or send multiple sales order confirmations to customers. However, some actions don’t work for more than one thing at a time. To clarify what you can do when you haven’t selected anything, or you’ve made single or multiple selections, only the actions that you can use are available.
My Opinion
I like this; there has been a few occasions recently where I’ve selected multiple rows and found that when I select an action it was only one row which was impacted. More clarity around this will be really good.
