Work optimally with the Business Central web client on modern devices with large screen sizes or large external monitors. This feature ensures optimal screen usage even when pages are shown in different modes, maximizing your productivity and efficiency in the web client.
This feature optimizes screen estate usage in the Business Central web client. It includes:
- Optimized default narrow mode page sizes.
- Optimized sizing and animation of the FactBox pane in narrow mode.
- An option to resize the FactBox pane and remember this choice per page and mode.
Let’s see more details.
A FactBox is the area that is located on the right-most side of a page and it’s divided into one or more parts that are arranged vertically. This area is used to display content including other pages, charts, and system parts such as Notes, and Links. Typically, you can use a FactBox to display information that is related to an item on the main content page. For example, on a page that shows a sales order list, you can use a FactBox to show sell-to customer sales history for a selected sales order in the list as shown below.

A FactBox can be hidden or shown by the user by toggling the little i icon in the top right corner of the page.

Until now, we have only been able to hide or show it, but not resize it. Finally, this changes in Business Central 2025 wave 1 (BC26). In this version, you can see that there is a clear line between the Factbox and the normal page area.

You can then drag it to resize the Factbox. Please note that this size is at most half the size of the page.

The adjusted size will be saved and will be the adjusted size when you open it again.
