Business Central doesn't support horizontal scrolling via:
not supported via touchpad,
not supported via thumbwheel (on mouse),
not supported via Shift+scroll wheel (on mouse).

Users literally need their pointer to be in the very narrow horizontal scroll bar before my thumb wheel on the computer mouse or touchpad allows the table to scroll horizontally. Scrolling a table vertically works regardless of where the pointer is in the table. Please allow the same for scrolling horizontally, it will save time in nearly every page as there are many tables with many columns in Business Central.

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future. Sincerely, Business Central Team

It seems like this issue has been resolved in version 22.1 (on-premises).

It would be nice though if smooth scrolling was possible, now it scrolls column by column (with a slight transition animation). What would be better is 100% smooth scrolling en only snapping to a column when stopping scrolling. Smooth scrolling enables easier reading when searching through the columns.

Another BIG missing feature is horizontal scrolling through touch screen!


Users using touchscreens, trackpads, thumbwheels on mice all expect 100% smooth scrolling!

This used to also have a hotkey by pressing CTRL while scrolling the mouse wheel. In a browser-based app, this makes the zoom level change. If we replaced CTRL with a different key paired with the scroll wheel, this would also help mouse users (most of the users).

This seems to be a BUG.
Everything seems to work fine as long as you don't freeze the first x columns with personalization. Freezing the first x columns breaks the functionality of horizontal scrolling.
