Data Model
The CData Power BI Connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 models Microsoft Dynamics 365 data in relational tables, views, and stored procedures. The table definitions are dynamically obtained from the Microsoft Dynamics 365 OData service when you connect. Any changes to the metadata, such as new or removed columns, or changes in data type, are automatically loaded when you reconnect.
Views
The Views section, which lists read-only SQL tables, contains samples of what you might have access to in your Microsoft Dynamics 365 account.
The following views are shipped with the connector:
| View | Description |
| MultiSelectPickListAttributeMetaData | Stores metadata for attributes with a MultiSelect OptionSet type. This metadata is only available when Edition is set to CustomerService, FieldService, Marketing, ProjectOperations, or Sales. |
| MultiSelectPickListOptions | Contains the values (options) for MultiSelect Picklist metadata attributes. Only available when Edition is set to CustomerService, FieldService, Marketing, ProjectOperations, or Sales. |
| PickListAttributeMetaData | Holds metadata for attributes of the Picklist type, detailing their options and configuration. Only available when Edition is set to CustomerService, FieldService, Marketing, ProjectOperations, or Sales. |
| PickListOptions | Stores option values for Picklist metadata attributes, providing details for enumerated selections. Only available when Edition is set to CustomerService, FieldService, Marketing, ProjectOperations, or Sales. |
Stored Procedures
Stored Procedures are actions that are invoked via SQL queries. They perform tasks beyond standard CRUD operations, such as managing associations and retrieving OAuth access tokens.
