Tips to improve Business Central User performance 

Improving user performance in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central isn’t just about speed - it’s about creating a smoother, more productive experience for your team. At TVT, we help businesses optimise their Business Central environments to ensure users can work efficiently and confidently. Here are some practical tips to enhance performance and user satisfaction. 

 

System performance tips for Business Central 

 

1. Use a modern browser 

Choose performance-optimised browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

Avoid unsupported browsers such as Internet Explorer or legacy versions of Edge. 

 

2. Optimise your browser 

Clear your cache regularly, keep your browser updated, and close unnecessary tabs to improve business central’s responsiveness. 

 

3. Schedule reports smartly 

Run reports during off-peak hours to reduce system load and avoid slowdowns during busy periods. 

 

4. Streamline data entry 

Use Rapid Start services for bulk uploads and data templates for recurring transactions to minimise manual entry.

 

5. Manage data efficiently 

Archive or delete obsolete data, such as old orders or reports, to reduce load times and improve performance. 

 

6. Audit extensions 

Too many extensions can slow down your system. Regularly review and disable any that are no longer needed. 

 

7. Automate workflows 

Use Power Automate to streamline repetitive tasks like approvals and notifications, reducing manual effort. 

 

8. Monitor background jobs 

Schedule resource-heavy tasks like financial consolidation for out-of-hours and monitor jobs for performance issues. 

 

9. Optimise data synchronisation 

Synchronise only essential data at scheduled intervals to avoid performance lags when integrating with other systems.
