Covers the wave 2 history of manual adjustments and testing in 20 languages. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2024-10-08 · 8:48 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video, published 2024-10-08 and about 9 minutes long, shows what changed in Analysis Assist for 2024 release wave 2. It is presented as four tips and uses the customer list and item list as examples. Analysis Assist is described as one of many Copilot capabilities and is in preview in this release wave. The demo covers choosing the right list, asking a first question, and how Copilot surfaces hidden fields from list personalization into analysis tabs. It then shows reviewing filters and columns, the prompt history that now tracks manual adjustments, prompt guides, language support, and starting an analysis from the chat pane. ## Key points - Analysis Assist is in preview in 2024 release wave 2. Microsoft says it is more reliable, more powerful and more flexible in this wave, based on customer feedback. - Start from the list that holds the data you want, for example the customer list for customer insights, and use the Copilot toolbar or menu to ask questions. Ctrl+Enter sends the prompt. - Copilot can only use fields shown on the list page or in the right pane, including hidden fields available in list personalization. In the demo it added country and region code to a customer analysis even though that field was not on the list. - New in wave 2: manual adjustments to an analysis tab are tracked in the prompt history, so you can move between versions and see which tab you prefer before choosing Keep it. - Keep prompts simple. The prompt guides menu suggests prompts for freezing columns, sorting, filtering, grouping, math functions and pivoting. - Analysis Assist has been tested and verified in 20 languages. Other languages can still be used, but may not perform as intended and results may vary. - You can ask an analysis-type question in the Copilot chat pane. Copilot detects it, goes to the appropriate list and generates analysis tabs. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=0s) Introduction to Analysis Assist and 2024 Wave 2 improvements - [0:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=26s) Tip 1: Pick the right list and ask initial questions - [1:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=67s) How Copilot adds hidden fields and layout generation - [2:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=164s) Tip 2: Review and adjust Copilot-created layouts - [3:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=204s) Reviewing filters, columns and adjustments with history - [4:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=280s) Tip 3: Keep prompts simple and use prompt guides - [6:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=360s) Language support and testing for Analysis Assist - [6:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=401s) Tip 4: Start analysis from the chat pane - [8:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=494s) Recap and call to action ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Analysis Assist | preview, demoed | [0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s) | "analysis assist is just one of many co-pilot capabilities and it's in preview in 2024 release Wave 2" ([0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s)) | | Copilot toolbar and menu | status not stated, demoed | [0:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=26s) | | | Field personalization through Analysis Assist | preview, demoed | [1:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=103s) | "analysis assist is just one of many co-pilot capabilities and it's in preview in 2024 release Wave 2" ([0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s)) | | Analysis tab history and adjustments | preview, demoed | [4:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=240s) | "analysis assist is just one of many co-pilot capabilities and it's in preview in 2024 release Wave 2" ([0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s)) | | Prompt guides | preview, demoed | [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=300s) | "analysis assist is just one of many co-pilot capabilities and it's in preview in 2024 release Wave 2" ([0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s)) | | 20 supported languages for Analysis Assist | status not stated | [6:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=360s) | | | Analysis from chat pane | preview, demoed | [6:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=401s) | "analysis assist is just one of many co-pilot capabilities and it's in preview in 2024 release Wave 2" ([0:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbMjcJurkFE&t=6s)) | ## AL objects mentioned As heard in the captions.
