One of the best things about D365 is the ability to store vast amounts of information and implement complex processes. However, an overabundance of information or information that is not relevant in the wrong spaces can actually do the opposite and hurt productivity.
When logging into the D365 Finance and Operations application for the first time, the first page you'll see is a dashboard with many white tiles that link to nested workspaces.
The default dashboard has 63 tiles - that is a lot of information to wade through to find what you are looking for. In fact, chances are that you will not be using all of these tiles and their existence just serves to clutter your dashboard.
Luckily, Microsoft has made it easy to customize your dashboard to make it work for you.
