Hello guys,
Can anyone tell me what logic that BC will process to display a page to user if that page is customized from profile and personalization fucntion?
I give some test and see that some columns will be effect by which one user do latest.
Example: column A in purchase order have position in the middle of the page. User U1 use personalization to move it to the last position, then modify profile P1 which is assign to user U1 and move column A to the 1st poisition, then the page will display column A in a 1st poisition. After that if user U1 try to user personalization to move column A to the last position then the page will display column A in the last position.
 
But: some columns that does not follow the rule above. some column like dimension column just display follow personalization function.
the moving columns is follow the rule above but the hide or show of the column is not follow the rule above. it just follow the personalization.
 
So what logic that BC will process to display a page to user if that page is customized from profile and personalization fucntion?
I have the same question (0)

    Maybe this will help clarify.
     
    In Business Central, user personalization always overrides profile configuration. That means if a user makes changes (like moving or hiding a column), those will take priority over any profile-level customizations.
     
    Logic flow:
     
    1. If user personalization exists → it’s applied.
     
     
    2. If no personalization → profile configuration is used.
     
     
    3. Some system fields (like Dimensions) may only support visibility changes through personalization, not profiles.
     
     
     
    To test cleanly, clear personalization first, then reapply profile config.

    Hi, Is the Detached layout view used? Hope the following can give you some hints.
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Shared layout view and Detached layout view (Unique layouts of the columns on a list)
     
    Thanks.
