Business value

Avoiding duplicate data entry is a key value proposition for integrating Business Central with Dataverse. Enabling virtual tables makes more data available between Business Central and Dataverse, which enriches integrations without additional customizations.

Feature details

If you want to enable virtual tables, in the Set up Dataverse Connection assisted setup guide, on the Setup Virtual Tables step, you can choose Review and enable virtual tables and then choose the appropriate virtual tables.

Use the Dataverse Available Virtual Tables page to select multiple virtual tables. Choosing Enable makes them visible in the PowerApps maker portal. Enabling virtual tables runs in the background because it can take a few minutes to finish, depending on how many tables you enable.
