How do you create a Data Entity?

Data entities are an abstract form of the physical tables that you have in your database. They are used to import and export data into the system.



Add a Data Entity as a new item in your project and connect a data source to it.

Rebuild and run database synchronization.

Navigate to Modules > System administration > Workspaces > Data management.



Here you can import data into your data source or export the existing data, via the newly created data entity.

Prior to running a job, make sure you have the right services up and running:

  • Start the batch job service from Services > Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service > Start; remember to stop when done as it consumes a lot of resources.
  • Make sure the service Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Data Import Export Framework Service is in the running state as well.

Can't see the Workflow button on the form menu?

    You can only create a workflow for a custom module within the WorkflowConfiguration form, which is available, by default, only on the standard modules, such as the Human resources module. Also make sure you are running it on either Edge or IE. After setting everything up, go to Human resources (or any of the other standard modules) > Human resource workflows > New > Create workflow >  You should be asked to sign in   And now you can add your approvals, user permissions, and activate the workflow.
