Model-driven apps

Apps built from the data model in Dataverse.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Model-driven apps are generated from Dataverse tables, forms, views and business rules.
  2. Layout is consistent and responsive automatically.
  3. Views list records; forms edit them; dashboards summarise them.
  4. Business rules add simple logic like required fields without code.
  5. Good for complex processes with many related tables, like admissions or service cases.
💡 Real-life example: Like a ready-made office register format: you define what columns and sections exist, and the layout follows a standard.
