Data modeling defines the tables, columns, data types, relationships, and metadata that are used as the foundation of your Dataverse data.

  • Tables and columns provide the physical structure where the data is stored.
  • Data types define what type of data is stored in a specific column.
  • Relationships define how your tables and columns interact with other tables and columns in your environment.
  • Metadata defines the behavior of tables, columns, relationships, and data types.
