- UsageCategory is a property on pages, reports, and query objects in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Setting a UsageCategory is important for making objects searchable within Business Central.
- If a UsageCategory is not specified or set to None, the object will not show up in search results or be bookmarked by users.
- UsageCategory options in BC24 include Lists, Tasks, ReportsAndAnalysis, Documents, History, and Administration.
- UsageCategory helps group similar objects by categories for easier searching.
- Not all objects need to be accessible via search, and some may be designed for specific purposes like API exposure or backend data processing.
- The UsageCategory property cannot be set through an extension object in Business Central.
- If an object lacks a UsageCategory, adding an action to a page or creating a copy of the object may be necessary to make it available via search.
