Business value
When first introduced, the data analysis mode was available on all list pages. However, for some list pages, using the data analysis mode doesn't make much sense. In addition, in this release, it's now also possible for users to analyze data that's defined in query objects. With query objects, as with list pages, it doesn't always make sense to use the data analysis mode. This is especially true with existing query objects, which were typically developed for a different purpose.
Therefore, we've made it possible for tenant admins and AL developers to turn off the analysis mode on list pages and query objects that aren't suited for analytical usage.
Feature details
The data analysis mode feature was introduced as a public preview feature in 2023 release wave 1 as a new way of interacting with data on list pages. Instead of running reports using different options and filters, you can simply add multiple tabs that represent different tasks or views on the data. Examples could be "My customers," "Follow-up items," "Recently added vendors," "Sales statistics," or any other view you want. For some list pages this capability doesn't make much sense.
Therefore, we make the following possible:
- AL developers can turn off the data analysis mode using page object metadata.
- Administrators can turn off the data analysis mode for specific users with a new system permission DATA ANALYSIS EXEC.
