Business Central :Web Client Improvement
Really amazed by looking at web client of Business central and found one of the great change which was really required by my customer as it not look good when page get opens
And I am talking about the action functions available on subpage.
Till NAV 2018 it is showing directly on ribbon which is not looking good and if you have more subpages then it looks more weird.
Now if you see business central web client it will show in subpage and it exactly show where it should be with nice options.
There are so many things which changed like you can go previous and next transaction from same page .no need to close page and open another transactions for view/modify..
Kudos to MS team for this change.
Will come up with more .Stay tuned .
