Adding Lists to Your Business Central Main Widget

The main Popdock widget inside Business Central comes prepopulated with lists that connect with your Business Central environment. You can customize the main widget by adding additional lists, whether that be historical lists from a legacy ERP or lists from other applications your company uses (CRM, Helpdesk Solutions, eCommerce Platforms, etc.).

In this example, Azure Data Lake connector is selected.
