Dynamics F/SCM Customer Experience (CRM) Dynamics GP Dynamics Business Central (NAV) Dynamics SL Power Platform Fabric Copilot

In NAV2013R2, I know that you can create a desktop shortcut to open a specified Role Center as follows:

“C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Dynamics NAV71RoleTailored ClientMicrosoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe” “dynamicsnav://ServerName:7060/InstanceName/Company Name/” -profile:”Role ID”

I’m trying to do the same thing for Business Central (version 13), but the -profile command switch does not seem to work.

Does anyone know if this can be done with BC and how?

I’ve been caught on this a few times by having spaces after the colon (e.g. profile:[space])
