Dynamics 365 Business Central: Copilot and agents - Show avatars for record creators and modifiers in list

This feature introduces visual avatars in Business Central list pages to indicate which user or agent created or last modified a record. The capability enhances traceability and supports collaborative work by making identity information immediately visible without opening the record.

The avatars reflect either a named Business Central user, a system user or an AI agent, following the existing identity model. Users can hover over the avatar to see a tooltip with the full display name and record update timestamp (if available).

This improvement benefits roles that frequently work with shared data—including accountants, order processors, warehouse staff, service teams, and administrators—by reducing time spent verifying ownership or responsibility for items, documents, or configuration entries. It also helps organizations adopting AI‑generated records understand when an automated agent has contributed.

The feature surfaces existing Created By and Modified By fields more intuitively while respecting Business Central’s data privacy and permissions model.
