Increased peace of mind for administrators and support teams.

Feature details

In 2020 release wave 1, we are hardening our UI customization features to make user personalization and role customization more resilient to changes in minor and major updates. As the Business Central platform and business application evolve over time, some mappings between UI customizations, their target UI elements, and how they are interpreted become problematic. With this update users:

  • are no longer prevented from signing into Business Central if a severe error occurs with UI customization.
  • experience significantly less problematic UI customizations after their environment is upgraded.

Administrators also get a new diagnostic tool to assess the health of UI customizations in an environment at any time. They use the tool to troubleshoot:

  • user personalization from the Personalized Pages list (formerly User Page Personalizations).
  • role customization from the Customized Pages list (formerly Profile Customizations).

If any problematic UI customizations are impacting users, administrators are now able to identify and delete UI customizations for the problematic page.
