It would be interesting if the webclient / service tier could have a setting to disable all the (fancy) animations / sliding transitions between pages / opening - closing fasttabs. This looks nice but slows down the navigation process / UX, especially for experienced users / users needing to do fast data input. On Yammer, you can find a capture for a local on-prem environment with sufficient CPU / memory, showing the delay when opening / closing the fasttabs. Seems like this could go a lot faster when animations get disabled ... https://www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev/#/Threads/show?threadId=89236307689472

Thank you for your feedback. We are considering adding it to our longer term roadmap.

Your help is greatly appreciated,

  • Great idea! 
    We really need better performance in Web client
  • Can't agree more. Web Client on SaaS doesn't feel snappy at all, disabling animations would definitely speed things up.
  • I believe the animation is intentional to mask the fact that it's very slow
  • Is there an update on this? It would be really nice if the animations can be disabled.
  • When comparing the speed with legacy systems like IBM AS400, reaction on keyboard input is very slow. People used to these legacy applications might experience this as a step back. They might get the impression this is slowing down there productivity. Worst case this results in no user-acceptance, which might stand in the way for a successful implementation of Business Central. Keep us posted. Thanks
  • I agree that this is too much animation and way too resource-intensive. In the meantime you are able to use custom CSS and the stylus-extension in the browser to get rid of this.
  • In these difficult times we should not ask, but we should demand for this feature.

    It would not only save time, but also conserve energy and reduce CO2 footprint.

    Every time I when wait for animation to complete I see pictures of wasted planet in my mind.

  • It is 20.02.2023, almost 3 years after start of this post. Is this still under review? This is huge problem. Every single user in our company complains that Nav BC is way to slow - it makes them less productive - it costs us money,

    It is more then twice slower then Nav 2018 and not to mention Nav 2009 - probably 5 times slower. This is not progress, this is regression.

  • The impact of animations is especially visible when using the system in a citrix / rdp environment.

    On Prem environments are not necessarily accessible directly from users' computers.


    There definitely should be an option to disable animations.

  • You can see how fast the System could react if you are using the tablet client, way less resources (and cpu power) needed. I don't understand why no one is complaining directly to microsoft...
