Manage telemetry setup

License and Subscription Management  •  Article  •  4/22/2026  • 

The Telemetry Setup page controls whether telemetry data collection is active for the current company. Telemetry collects usage and configuration metrics from installed Aptean extensions and submits them automatically during the license and subscription refresh cycle. The following procedure describes how to access and configure telemetry.

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Telemetry Setup, and then choose the related link.
    The Telemetry Setup page opens.
  2. On the General FastTab, turn on the Enable Telemetry toggle to activate telemetry data collection for the current company, which ensures telemetry is automatically submitted during each license refresh. This toggle is turned on by default.

    The Enable Telemetry toggle setting applies per company. To disable telemetry for a specific company, open the Telemetry Setup page within that company and turn off the toggle.

  3. On the action bar, select Custom Dimension Id to view the data dimensions for which permission has been granted for collection.
    The Custom Dimension Id page opens.

    You can view the telemetry data collection rules defined using custom dimension IDs. Each entry specifies a Business Central table, an aggregation action, optional field IDs, and a filter query. Only administrators have permission to add, modify, or delete these entries. Telemetry data is collected for all active entries during the license refresh cycle.

    You can view the following fields:

    FieldDescription
    Custom Dimension IDSpecifies a unique identifier code for this custom dimension entry.

    Field04Specifies the field ID of the fourth field to include in the telemetry data.
