All New Avatar in Business Central: Who Modified This Record Last?

UG Expert Amanda Mayer reviews the avatar features introduced in Business Central version 28 that can help trace changes being made.

Key Takeaways

• Purpose: The avatar identifies who created or most recently modified a record, providing a quick visual alternative when the change log does not capture the relevant field or when a recent change is difficult to trace.
• Viewing: Amanda shows how to view the created-by and modified-by information. Users can personalize their screens by keeping the view enabled and removing infrequently used columns, or those that aren’t used at all, to reduce horizontal scrolling.
• Examples of list views: This feature is available in many list views, Amanda explains, including customers, vendors, the chart of accounts, purchase invoices, sales orders, and purchase orders.
