Who this helps

Developers planning Dataverse data models.

What to standardize

  • Separate display names from schema strategy.
  • Use consistent publisher prefixes.
  • Name relationships by business relationship.
  • Capture plural and singular names before build.

Examples

Design names before tables are created.

Formula / code
Publisher prefix: bv
Table display name: Service Request
Schema name: bv_ServiceRequest
Primary column: bv_RequestName
Relationship: bv_Customer_ServiceRequests

Expected result: The data model stays consistent across apps, flows, and solutions.

Common mistakes

  • Using generic table names
  • Ignoring relationship names
