Jedi Master Data: Taking Control of Your BC Data

Session Overview: Manage master data in Business Central like a pro. This hands-on session gets practical about managing master data effectively in Business Central, with live demos covering Configuration Packages, Edit in Excel, the Change Log, and the Data Administration page. You’ll see how to load, audit, clean up data at scale, and learn where BC hits its limits – and how to bridge the gap when you need more power.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the fundamentals of Data Management Strategy and how Business Central can help.
- Use Configuration Packages and Edit in Excel with confidence by understanding when each tool is the right fit and how to apply them for bulk data loads, structured migrations, and tactical master data corrections.
- Identify the boundaries of BC’s native data management capabilities and articulate which categories of third-party tools or add-ons are worth evaluating when the built-in options aren’t enough.
