The Manual Setup page is an important entry point for understanding setup options in Business Central.
Often, it is the very first place you start looking for setup when you are new to the product - either as a customer or a partner.
It is hard to intuitively understand and find setup options through this page.
When you open it you get tired and immediately lose sense of what you're looking for, with no guidance.
Key issues:
- The page offers no visual categorization (like the Assisted Setup page)
- Categories are displayed in a column with no option to group by this column
- The page is cluttered with information that make it very "busy", like for example the "keywords" and "expected duration" columns. The latter is only relevant when setups are being used in a checklist context.
Suggestions for improvement:
- Group by "Category" in the same visual way as the "Assisted Setup" page. With that, the "Category" column can be removed.
- Remove the "Keywords" and "Expected Duration" columns. They are not relevant here.
- Move the "Extension Name" column to the end, as this is nice-to-know information.
- Some entries in the default lists as "Uncategorized". Fix this, so no entries are left in this category.
Goal is to make this a visually appealing page that is a great entry point for finding all manual setup pages.
(sort of like a categorized control panel)
