Business Central 2024 wave 2 (BC25): Resize columns even when personalization isn’t enabled

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 2 (BC25) is available. Learn more: Link.

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.

Resize columns even when personalization isn’t enabled:

Business value:
People using the Business Central web client often need to adjust the widths of their data columns. Whether you’re looking for a particular record or optimizing the layout of their pages for efficient reading or accelerated data entry. Now, this is disconnected from the UI customization system to let you quickly and easily resize columns on any list.

In 2019 release wave 2 (BC15), adjusting the width of any column just got easier. Without having to start personalizing, you can drag the border of any column header to resize it. Similar to Microsoft Excel, you can double-click the border (AutoFit) to automatically size the column so that the caption and value of all columns on the screen are displayed efficiently.

This is actually part of the Personalization feature. More details: Personalize your workspace

If we disable it, we will not be able to adjust the width of any column.

An error message is displayed.

An error occurred while applying personalization changes. Please try again.

Or the drag icon is not displayed.

Now, this is disconnected from the Personalization feature (UI customization system) to let you quickly and easily resize columns on any list.👏👏👏

  • Optimize for each device: When you’re working on multiple browsers or devices, such as a desktop PC at work and a laptop when you’re on the go, you can adjust column widths independently on each device for an optimal view of your data.
  • Resize regardless of role: Even when personalization is off for a given profile (role), users who are assigned that profile can still resize columns by dragging or double-clicking the sides of the column header.
  • Get it done, quicker: Resizing a column is notably faster.
  • On any page: Unlocks the ability to resize columns on page types where you previously couldn’t, such as Copilot prompt dialogs.
  • Best of both worlds: Resizing columns in personalization mode or role customization mode will continue to persist the column width to the UI personalization store in the database.

Great, give it a try!!!😁

Hope this will help.
