Best practices and guidance when using Microsoft Dataverse

  • Artigo

Microsoft Dataverse provides an extensible framework that allows developers to build highly customized and tailored experiences. When you're customizing, extending, or integrating with Dataverse, be aware of the established guidance and best practices.

Within this section you learn about the issues we have identified, their impact, and guidance to resolve those issues. We'll explain the background about why things should be done in a certain way and avoid potential problems in the future. This understanding can benefit the usability, supportability, and performance of your environment. The guidance documentation supports the existing information within the Developer and Administration guides.

Targeted customization types

The documentation targets the following customization types:

  • Custom workflow activities and plug-ins
  • Working with Dataverse data
  • Integrations extending Dataverse
