Added

  • {tenant} can go in the ribbon, banner and tab title texts, to show
    which customer you are working for, such as contoso.com.
  • Your own rules can use your team's styles. Every rule can now pick a
    style from the shared file, and your last own style can go while the team
    file has some.
  • Bar at the top. A banner can now sit above Business Central's own top
    bar. It moves the page down, so it covers nothing.
  • Sample rules from the start. A new install comes with the four sample
    rules, so you can start from them. Nothing is coloured until you switch on
    Use environment colours under Environments. When your team's shared
    file brings rules, they take over from the samples you did not change.
  • The company, also when the address has none. Right after you sign in,
    Business Central online often leaves the company out of the address. BC
    Buddy now reads it from the page, for {company} and for rules on
    Company.
  • Help & feedback. Report a problem to your helpdesk, or send feedback or
    a suggestion, without leaving Business Central. Click the BC Buddy icon in
    the top bar, or in the browser's toolbar, and pick Report a problem or
    Feedback or a suggestion: a panel opens next to the page. Write what you
    did step by step, with a screenshot of each step (the whole screen or just
    the part that matters), and make words bold, italic or underlined with
    Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I or Ctrl+U. Drag a screenshot up or down to change the order
    of the steps. Point things out on a screenshot with an arrow, a
    pen or a box, blur what others must not see, or start over with Clear
    all
    . Give the report a priority, then click Email: a new email opens
    in your email app with the screenshots inside, ready to send. The first
    time, the browser asks whether BC Buddy may open the file it saves for
    that. Under the arrow next to it, Email (draft) opens your email app
    and puts the report on the clipboard for you to paste; Download saves
    it as a web page; Copy puts it on the clipboard. The report says which
    environment and company you were in, with every step's page title linking
    to the page, and ends with the tenant and when it was made. It stays while
    you move around Business Central or close the panel; Done or the bin
    throws it away. Off until you switch on Use Help &
    feedback
    under Help & feedback.
  • Set up Help & feedback for your team. Under Help & feedback you set
    the helpdesk's email address, the priorities people can pick and the one a
    report starts with, and the email subjects, with {prio}, {company},
    {environment} and {title} filled in. You can
    also add a short message, with a Teams link or phone number if you like,
    that people see when they pick the most urgent priority. Put them
    in your team's shared file and everyone gets them; they then show Set by
    your organisation.
    and cannot be changed, also not by an import. IT can
    set them, and each part's switch, by policy too.
  • Switch parts on for your team. Your team's shared file can now switch
    the Web client improvements and environment colours on or off for
    everyone, as a starting point each person can still change.

Changed

  • One switch per part. Web client, Environments and Help &
    feedback
    each have their own switch at the top of their page, instead of
    one switch for all of BC Buddy. A rule no longer has a switch of its own: a
    rule that is there colours. Keyboard shortcuts come with the Web client.
    When you update, everything you used keeps working. If you were using
    environment colours, the rules you had switched off are removed.
  • Keyboard shortcuts in a side panel. The BC Buddy icon (two people), just
    before Business Central's settings gear in the top bar, now opens the
    browser's side panel, next to Business Central instead of on top of it.
    Shortcuts for this page there shows the shortcuts. The panel follows
    you from page to page, has a gear for the BC Buddy settings and a moon
    button for dark mode, switches language as soon as you pick another one,
    and the shortcuts view closes by itself when you leave Business Central. The
    BC Buddy entry in Business Central's settings pane is gone: the
    panel's gear takes you to the settings.

Fixed

  • No red on hover in the top bar. Pointing at the Environment button
    in a coloured top bar showed Business Central's own red. It now keeps the
    rule's colour.
  • Readable banner text. On a see-through banner or corner ribbon, the text
    is now black or white for the colour you actually see. Before, a dark colour
    at half opacity got white text on what looked like light pink.
  • Striped rows now cover the whole row in lists shown inside a page, such
    as the one on Performance Profiler. Before, only the narrow column with
    the ⋮ button got the grey.
  • No more overlap in the top bar. In a narrower window the BC Buddy icon
    pushed Business Central's buttons over your name. Where the bar has no room
    for it, the icon now steps aside until the window is wide enough again.

Chrome Web Store: none.
