For this session, I will be co presenting with Kim Congleton – the two of us love talking about dimensions, so we are excited to present this to the community!

Description:

Dimensions are one of the most powerful (and most misunderstood) features in Business Central. Join us for this session to not just like.. but LOVE using Dimensions and set you and your client up for success!

Too often, teams either under-use them, over-complicate them, or implement them in ways that create more confusion than clarity. The result? Reports that don’t answer real questions and data that no one fully trusts.

In this session, we’ll break down how dimensions should be used to bring structure, consistency, and real insight into your financial and operational reporting.

We’ll cover:

  • Where dimensions go wrong in real implementations
  • How to design dimensions that actually scale with your business
  • Practical ways to simplify reporting and get answers faster
  • What dimensions are and why they matter (including Global and Shortcut dimensions)
  • How to set them up in a way that scales with the business
  • Real-world applications across financial reporting, sales analysis, and project tracking
  • Practical approaches to teaching dimensions through hands-on examples and real scenarios
  • How the right dimension strategy improves accuracy, performance tracking, and strategic planning

Whether you’re new to dimensions or feel like you’ve been fighting them for years, you’ll walk away with a clearer, more practical approach that you can apply immediately.
