Create Custom table in Dataverse/ Power Apps

This is the Fifth post in the series. If you want to go to previous post click here.

From the series of steps this post is dedicated to Step-4:

As a fourth Step we will Create New Table(s) in Dataverse, below is the structure of the table.

This table will be used to Sync Data between Business Central and Dataverse.

Define all required columns. Same as we have done in Business Central, in previous post.

Next we will define Business Rule, This will make Probability field as mandatory.

See the properties of each component.

Sample data for the table.

If you are not comfortable with creating table in Power Apps environment, I will add one post step wise step how this table was created and data was uploaded in this table. Once this series is completed, will provide link to that post here.

Now you are good to proceed with Next Step.

New Properties and Controls for Pages – in Navision 2015

ShowMandatory Property

With Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called ShowMandatory has been introduced on page fields. The ShowMandatory property is set on page fields and marks the field with a red asterisk on the UI.

UpdatePropagation Property

Scope Property

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV a new property called Scope is added to page actions. The introduction of this property specifies the scope of an action to be either page-specific, or specific to a repeater control.
