How to find odata table names for a given Entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by VickyD

For a given entity e.g. General Journal Account Entry, how exactly do can we find the corresponding odata table name for it (preferably through the browser). I searched in Power BI based on the Target Entity name and the closest I could find was "GeneralJournalAccountEntryStgs".

Is there any place that provides the exact name assuming this is the table is exposed in odata. Basically, trying to understand how to map D365 entities to odata entities so I can pull the relevant information into Power BI.

    To check which entities can be exposed publicly to odata you can use URL of d365/data where you will get all data entities which can be exposed to odata.

    But to know the table names which are present in that entity, as far I know there is no process to check from UI. But if you have dev access you can open dev vm visual studio and check for all the tables in that entity. Else you can ask your FO developers to give the detail.

    Hi VickyD,

    I think you can refer to the property of Data entity. If "Is public" property on data entity is yes then it indicates that, it is exposed to OData.

    For identifying names refers to Public name and Public collection name property on the entity.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
