What is Microsoft Dataverse?

Last month Microsoft changed the name of Common Data Service to  Microsoft Dataverse or Dataverse.

There are the following changes in terms that we used to call in CDS:

CDS Term

Dataverse Term

Entity

Table

Attribute/Field

Column

Optionset /Multiple Optionset

Choice

Two Option

Yes/No

Record

Row

But there is no change in API or web service, CreateEntityRequest is still called as CreateEntityRequest.

Have a look at Power App to see the changes:





But these changes are not reflected in Dynamics365 Solution. We can find the old term there i.e. "entity and option set" but the same solution in the power app reflects the new term i.e. Table, Choice etc.


Solution in Dynamics 365 

Solution in PowerApp


CDS connector in Power App still has the name "Common Data Service", It may or may not change in the future.

Solutions in Dynamics 365 may or may not reflect the new term in the future.


Cheers,

Power Automate: Create and attach Dataverse note or activity with an entity record through MS flow

Image
There was a requirement where a note(annotation) will be created once an account is created in Dataverse. I have created a Microsoft flow to achieve this functionality. Below is the screenshot of the flow: It was not a difficult flow but I was getting below error in last step i.e, "Create a note and attach PDF" Resource not found for the segment. The reason for this error was assigning "Account id" in regarding: To resolve the above error, I have set "accounts(Account)" in regarding and it worked. You can also use "/accounts(Account)". Conclusion : Whenever you are creating a #Dataverse note or activity through #MSflow then use "entityname(entityid)" or "/entityname(entityid)" in regarding and don't forget to add suffix "S" in entityname.

How to set privilege for Activity Attachment (activitymimeattachment) in Dynamics 365 or PowerApps

Image
One day, some of the users in my Dynamics 365 CE environment were not able to attach a document against an appointment and other activities. A user who has a basic(user-level) create, global read, business unit edit, and global "append and append to" privileges on activities, trying to attach a document against an activity that is owned by another user/team. But unable to do it and getting an "insufficient privilege" message. We know that there is no privilege in the security role for "Attachment" and many people suggest that attachments are handled by "Note(annotation)" privilege. I have increased the notes privilege to global but no luck. After doing some research, I came to know that the "Activity attachments(Activitymimeattachment)" privilege depends on Activities. When I increased the activity  "Create, Append and append to" privilege to Global(Organization) then attachment also inherited this privilege. Hence users are a
