"This release brings more speed, more automation, and a more seamless experience for teams working with Business Central records every day."

The new features are:

• See SharePoint links immediately.
• Upload to SharePoint from the List FactBox.
• Faster logins to SharePoint.
• Automatically replace duplicate attachments.
• Easily add drag and drop to standard tables.

Item by Item launches Microsoft D365 Engineering Change Management curriculum

Item by Item (IBI) has launched a new D365 Engineering Change Management training program. 

Engineering Change Management in D365 SCM helps companies manage product data, track versions, and handle changes more easily, according to the company. This leads to better product quality, fewer production delays, and stronger collaboration across departments.

The new curriculum includes four learning paths and 35 micro-courses, offering role-based training for:

• Design engineer – setup
• Design engineer – management
• Product coordinator
• Change requester

"Engineering Change Management functionality in D365 can make your new product introductions and product change processes far easier and more streamlined," said Elif Item, founder and CEO of Item by Item. "It's also a capability you can add even after you've gone live with D365, which makes it a powerful option for organizations looking to improve without disrupting their existing operations. Our new curriculum ensures teams can take full advantage of this functionality from day one."
