Dynamics 365 Business Central – Making the most of your Business Central Trial – Accessing the Admin Centre and creating Sandboxes

Gavin Whittaker1 Comment

This is the fifth video in the video series “Making the most of your Business Central Trial”. This video series is intended to help new users on their journey with the Business Central Trial, although it may also prove helpful for those already familiar and using Business Central.

In this video I explore the Business Central Admin Centre and go through how to create a new Sandbox.

Along the way I show the permissions required to access the Admin Centre and use cases for creating and using Sandboxes.

I also explain that although they are typically used in the development cycle of new customisations for Business Central, they can also be used to investigate new core Business Central features prior to enabling them in your Production environment.

I hope you enjoy it 🙂

This is the second video in the video series “Making the most of your Business Central Trial”. This video series is intended to help new users on their journey with the Business Central Trial, although it may also prove helpful for those already familiar with Business Central.

In the first part we went through creating a new Business Central Trial, in this video I’ll go through the different methods you have of accessing Business Central.

Firstly, we’ll go through logging into Office 365 and accessing the Business Central app, just like you can access Word, Excel etc. Next, I’ll demonstrate how this can be achieved via the Business Central Sign-in page, and finally how you can customise the Business Central URL to directly access Business Central.

I hope you find it useful 🙂

Introduction

This is the first video in a series I’ve entitled “Making the most of your Business Central Trial”.

In this video, as well as going through signing up and creating a Business Central Trial, I also touch on some key aspects of the trial such as how long the trial lasts (more info on that here) and how Business Central is added to your tenancy depending on if you have Microsoft Services or not.

Upcoming videos will cover various topics such as creating a Sandbox, providing other users with Business Central access by assigning licenses, configuring email settings, establishing your own company, and importing data using tools like Configuration Worksheets, packages, and Edit in Excel.

I hope you find it useful 🙂
