Enable virtual entities

Completed

Now that you've set up Dataverse virtual entities, you can enable the virtual entities in the Dataverse environment. Make sure that you enable virtual entities in Dataverse because all entities in finance and operations apps aren't available as virtual entities by default. When enabling virtual entities in Dataverse, you can determine which entities are exposed as virtual entities and used in Dataverse.

Watch the following video for a demonstration of how to enable virtual entities.
