[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2026-04-01 · 13:55 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video explains why analysis mode is getting further investment and demos how to ship analysis views from AL apps. The workflow is to set up a view in Business Central, export it as JSON, and reference that file from a page extension or source page using the definition file property. The demo then shows the result in a deployed environment. Shipped views appear read-only with a locked icon, users can duplicate them to get editable copies, and users can hide views through personalization. The presenter also announces built-in analysis views for sales, finance, inventory and purchasing pages, coming in 28.x. ## Key points - Analysis views can be exported from Business Central as JSON files (Share > Export definition) and packaged in AL apps through page extensions, page customizations or source pages. - Page extensions use a definition file property that points to the exported JSON file; caption, tooltip and visibility properties set in AL override the settings in the JSON file. - Views can be added to page customizations assigned to a profile or profile extension, so they are available only to users with that role. - Views shipped in an app are read-only and show a locked icon; the filter pane is removed, and users can duplicate a view to edit the copy. - Users can add a description to a view through the rename action in analysis mode; it shows as a tooltip. - Users can hide views they do not need through personalization mode. - Built-in analysis views are coming in 28.x for sales orders, change log entries, user lists, GL register, fixed asset ledgers and item ledger entries (inventory and purchasing). ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=0s) Introduction and Investment Rationale - [1:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=88s) Live Demo: Packaging Analysis Views in AL Apps - [5:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=330s) Deployed Environment and View Management - [7:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=440s) Analysis Views in Business Central Application - [8:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=510s) Resources and Documentation - [9:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=582s) Partner Resources and Communities - [12:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=738s) YouTube Channel and Content Organization ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Support for analysis views in AL | status not stated, demoed | [1:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=88s) | | | Analysis view descriptions and tooltips | status not stated, demoed | [2:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=161s) | | | Analysis views in page extensions | status not stated, demoed | [4:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=241s) | | | Analysis views in page customizations and profiles | status not stated, demoed | [4:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=278s) | | | Read-only shipped analysis views | status not stated, demoed | [5:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=347s) | | | Analysis view personalization | status not stated, demoed | [6:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=400s) | | | Built-in analysis views across Business Central application areas | announced | [7:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv-r-eDt90&t=455s) | "These are coming in 28.x.
