#MSDyn365BC auditing with change log is good. But with #Telemetry. It is one level up! You find the entries in #BusinessCentral, but sometimes users are not guilty as they seems from the logs. #TheLincolnLawyer. duiliotacconi.com/2025/09/05/w...

This post is based on a real-life data auditing story, and where telemetry did the extra mile. The question was: “A Default Dimension record set has been deleted. Is it possible to know who, when a…

Business Central Tip: If the per-tenant extension remains impossible to upgrade, Microsoft waits for 90 days and then uninstall the extension and force-upgrade the tenant.

Z -Score and outliers : when statistics meet telemetry

Do you want to give a better representation of your #Telemetry data population, hence what REALLY are perceiving your #MSDyn365BC users? Use Z-score (and Z is not Zombie, like in world war Z...) in your daily practice. duiliotacconi.com/2024/12/18/z...

How Dynamics 365 Business Central handles incoming web service calls (for dummies).

@nataliekarolak.bsky.social

#msdyn365bc When using the ternary operator in AL:
Result := Condition ? TruePart : FalsePart;
then the AL compiler expects TruePart and FalsePart to return the same data type. Different types can lead to runtime errors that the compiler cannot always detect.

Was given a tip in VS Code 🤩
How many times haven't we gotten an error message, "Error on line X" but the line number is the line in the function, not the file which means copy/paste to notepad and see which line it is😣
But now, you can stand on the function line and see the line numbers from that😀
