Hi All, Business Central BC 28 introduces creator and modifier avatars on list pages, making record ownership and AI-generated activity easier to identify and manage. Introduction One of the smaller but highly practical usability improvements in Business Central 2026 Release Wave 1 (BC 28) is the introduction of user and agent avatars directly on list pages. While the feature may appear cosmetic initially, it addresses a real operational challenge: understanding ownership and responsibility across shared data. In many Business Central environments, multiple users, departments, integrations, and automated processes work on the same records. Identifying who created or modified a record often required opening the card page, checking system fields, or relying on change logs. BC 28 simplifies this experience significantly.
