Tired of cramped Fact Boxes? Wishing you could see more detail without endless scrolling? Your wish has been granted! Dynamics 365 Business Central version 26 (2025 wave 1) introduces a much-anticipated feature: resizable Fact Boxes!
For years, Business Central users have navigated valuable contextual information within the FactBox pane. However, the fixed width often led to limitations, especially on larger screens or when dealing with detailed data. Now, Microsoft has empowered users to take control of their workspace.
Say Goodbye to Fixed Dimensions!
With the new resizing capability, you can:
- Customize Your View: Easily adjust the width of the FactBox pane to suit your needs. Whether you need a narrow view for quick glances or a wider view for in-depth analysis, the choice is yours.
- Maximize Screen Real Estate: Utilize your screen’s potential by expanding the FactBox to view more information at once. No more unnecessary scrolling!
- Personalized Experience: Business Central remembers your preferred FactBox size per page and mode, ensuring a consistent and tailored experience every time you return.
- Simple and Intuitive: Resizing is a breeze! Simply drag the divider line between the main page area and the FactBox pane to your desired width.
- Quick Reset: If you want to return to the default size, just double-click the divider line.
- Reasonable Limits: The factbox can be expanded to a maximum of half of the page width.
Why This Matters
This seemingly small change has a significant impact on user productivity and efficiency. By providing greater control over the workspace, Business Central empowers users to:
- View Information More Effectively: Gain a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of related data.
- Reduce Scrolling and Save Time: Access crucial information faster and streamline workflows.
- Enhance User Experience: Create a more personalized and comfortable working environment.
