I decided it’s time to start sharing some #HumpDayHacks 🐫 to help get you through working with Business Central.

First up, some Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central hacks when working with the Page Inspection tool. You can open it with Ctrl + Alt + F1, or by clicking ❓ Help > Help & Support (at the bottom) >Under Troubleshooting click Inspect Pages and data.

The Page Inspection tool is a cornucopia of information. What objects are you interacting with (be it a page, report, query, XMLPort, etc). You can see the underlying table, and even click “View Table” 🔍 to see the data in the table. More information right at your fingertips are the extensions you are interacting with, the underlying fields and datatypes

Now pay attention: 🤓 If you click on a field, if the field is on the page, it will locate it for you, and take you to it. Much faster than opening VSCode and trying to determine where a field is located on a page.
