Posted on by Imran Hashmi 5

I have been provided with Dynamics 365 access to Customer Engagement . I also have Sandbox access.

Could you please help me for my below questions

How can I find - which database is the backend for my dyanamics 365

Where can I find the list of all database tables that is being queried by dynamics 365

Where can I find the list of all tables, which are created by Dynamics 365 , but does not exists in Database backend

How to get the description of each of the column in each of the tables. To understand the business requirement of such column.

Thanks

    Hi Imran,

    Generally, you can access all tables through navigating to settings > Customizations > Customize the system > Entities:

    For getting the description of that table, you can double-click it:

    In Dataverse, the metadata is a collection of tables, You can learn about standard tables, attributes, and table relationships included by default in Dataverse by reviewing the entity reference.

    You can Browse the metadata to view all the tables and metadata properties that are found in the system.

    Here are three ways you can try it out:

    (1)Solution: Browse the metadata for your environment.
