Hotfix Knoledge base / release notes

We need to have a database of the hotfixes that have been applied and when they were applied. If we know a hotfix is applied we can see what it relates to and then know if we start having issues of some sort after ti was applied. It is also good to know something was fixed and we may be able to...

We need a site that describes the new tables and pages that are included in monthly upgrade.

We can only find information on BC features that are updated monthly in the release notes. However, when controlling user permissions on the tables or pages basis, I don't understand how to grant permissions on new tables and pages. We can't figure out which table to refer to as a better custom...

Include any changes to Permissions release notes

It would be helpful for customers that use BC with their own custom permissions sets to have a section of the release notes outlining any with permission changes. We have a few customers that have custom Permission sets and get permission errors after updates

Include help search in installed App Source Apps with Tell me

Hello, You have introduced the ability to search inside Business Central documentation with "Tell Me" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-search). It would be a nice improvement for ISVs to enable search in the contant of their own documentation.

Cumulative updates link in email

When we receive the email that informs us that our environment has been recently updated, it would be very helpful to include a link to the documentation of the cumulative update that just occurred. Otherwise, you have no idea what the hotfixes were.

Customize Help Search URL

In BC 19.0, when the ? mark is chosen, there is a new search box in the help pane. Any results that show up here point back to the original Microsoft online help. We're going through a large undertaking with our vertical help content to move to a new model where we're hosting our content combined...

Documentation on Data: Tables, lists, queries, fields and relationships

It is incredibly difficult to find documentation on tables, lists, queries, and fields. Particularly for the non-developers who want to build Power BI (or similar) reports. CTRL-ALT-F1 is incredibly helpful, but not inclusive. It would also be helpful to know if a field is a “system” field and...

Thank you for logging this idea. It is a known gap and an area we would like to improve, and in fact, there is currently work going on prototyping a much improved documentation of the application. This will not be available for the 2022 release wave 1 at launch, but hopefully either in a minor or for 2022 release wave 2 launch. 

In the meantime, please continue voting for this.

User Defined Help

In a system as highly customized as ours, being able to add our own help would be huge. Give us a way to import a PDF file that will display for a field if you hit F1 or for the page if you click on a question mark.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason: We recommend that you convert the PDF to online material since that's much faster to display than a PDF.
