Environment Badges

Available in license(s): Admin

With the Environment Badges feature you can automatically add an environment/company badge and configure its text and color based on the environment type, subtype, name and/or company that your users are working in.

With the environment badge, which is added to Business Central in the top-right corner, you can always make sure you are working (or testing) in the correct environment and company.

To enable this feature:

  1. Open the Environment Badges page

  2. Set up your badge configuration preferences per environment subtype, environment and/or company.

The badge settings (i.e., Badge Style and Badge Name) apply to the most detailed combination of the Environment Subtype, Environment and Company.

  • Environment Subtype

    Specifies the subtype of the environments for which the badge configurations should be used.

    You can define subtypes by using the Environment Subtypes page, e.g., an environment with a name ending with -TST has environment subtype Test.

  • All Environment Subtypes

    Specifies whether the badge configurations apply for all environment subtypes instead of a specific environment subtype.

  • Environment Name

    Specifies the name of a specific environment for which the badge configurations should be used.

  • All Environments

    Specifies whether the badge configurations apply for all environments instead of an environment with a specific name and/or subtype.

  • Company Name

    Specifies the name of a specific company for which the badge configurations should be used.

  • All Companies

    Specifies whether the badge configurations apply for all companies instead of a specific company.

  • Badge Style

    Specifies the color/styling for the badge configuration.

  • Badge Text

    Specifies the text to display on the badge for this configuration (max. 6 characters).

The setup in the Environment Badges page determines the color and text of the environment/copy badge shown on the top-right corner of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central window.
