Microsoft Dataverse

What is Microsoft Dataverse?

·       

·        Data within Dataverse is stored within a set of tables.

·        A table is a set of rows (formerly referred to as records) and columns (formerly referred to as fields/attributes).

·        Each column in the table is designed to store a certain type of data, for example, name, age, salary, and so on.

·        Dataverse includes a base set of standard tables that cover typical scenarios, but you can also create custom tables specific to your organization and populate them with data by using Power Query.

·       App makers can then use Power Apps to build rich applications that use this data.













Why use Dataverse?

Standard and custom tables within Dataverse provide a secure and cloud-based storage option for your data.

Tables let you create a business-focused definition of your organization's data for use within apps. If you're not sure whether tables are your best option, consider these benefits:

·        Easy to manage – Both the metadata and data are stored in the cloud. You don't need to worry about the details of how they're stored.

 

·        Easy to secure – Data is securely stored so that users can see it only if you grant them access. Role-based security allows you to control access to tables for different users within your organization.

 

·        Access your Dynamics 365 Data – Data from your Dynamics 365 applications is also stored within Dataverse, allowing you to quickly build apps that use your Dynamics 365 data and

extend your apps with Power Apps.

 

·        Rich metadata – Data types and relationships are used directly within Power Apps.

 

·        Logic and validation – Define calculated columns, business rules, workflows, and business process flows to ensure data quality and drive business processes.


·    Productivity tools – Tables are available within the add-ins for Microsoft Excel to increase productivity and ensure data accessibility
