Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations includes a powerful personalization feature called Add to workspace, which lets users push relevant information from lists to a workspace for easy access and monitoring.
Introduction
A tile refers to a graphical element that provides a quick overview of a specific area or module of the application. Tiles are used to display key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, reports, or other relevant data in a visually appealing and easily accessible way.
Tiles are typically located on the Dynamics 365 F&O workspace or dashboard, and they provide a way for users to quickly navigate to specific parts of the application, such as sales, inventory, financials, or production. Users can interact with tiles by clicking on them to access more detailed information or to perform specific actions.
Tiles can be customized to suit the needs of individual users or organizations. Users can choose which tiles to display, rearrange them, or resize them to make the most important information more prominent.
