Hello,
I would like to highlight a UX issue related to the Item List (31, List) page in Business Central. In the dropdown list of views, several predefined system Views appear by default:
-
Blocked Items
-
Item Quantities
-
Items By Location
-
Items Due For Count
-
Items Overdue For Count
-
Negative Quantity Items
These Views:
-
are not translated in localized versions,
-
are not documented for end users,
-
often do not match the company’s actual business processes,
-
cannot be disabled or hidden through the UI,
-
and disrupt the consistency of the interface, especially when the rest of the product is fully localized.
This is just one example. In localized versions of Business Central, there are multiple places where untranslated (and sometimes unnecessary) interface elements appear. While each individual case may seem minor, together they affect the overall user experience and create confusion for operators working entirely in a localized environment.
Proposal
It would be helpful to:
-
Provide a configuration option to disable or hide predefined Views, without requiring an AL extension.
-
Or hide these Views by default when they are not relevant for a specific localization or industry.
-
Or ensure proper translation and documentation, so they appear as an intentional part of the product.
At the moment, the only way to remove these Views is to create a page extension and hide them manually, which feels excessive for such a simple need.
Thank you for considering this improvement. Even small UX refinements can make a noticeable difference for users working in localized environments.
