Feature details
Power Platform dataflows use the Common Data Model to provide semantic meaning alongside the data, making it easier for other systems and applications to understand and use data stored in a data lake.
Power Platform dataflows create Common Data Model folders within the data lake and can also consume Common Data Model folders created by other applications and data producers.
Additionally, the dataflow experience allows users to create data and easily map data of any shape and size to Common Data Model standard entities. These entities, starting with key concepts used within Microsoft Dynamics 365, have been extended with the help of subject matter experts across many verticals, including healthcare, non-profit, education, retail, and marketing.
