How to customize your home page?

Customizing the home page is possible thanks to the personalization feature in Business Central. Below is a guide on how to set our page as the default and tailor it to your needs.

  1. Assign the N24 | Custom Role Center role to the selected users:

    1. Open User Settings, select a user, and click Manage → Edit from the action bar.
    2. Click ... next to the Role field and select N24 | Custom Role Center.

    Once the role is assigned, the user will see a blank home page upon logging into Business Central, ready for customization.

The home page includes pre-configured sections that can be easily added:

  1. Navigate to the home page and click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
