Business value
Guided table selection removes a major source of friction for first‑time customers syncing Microsoft Dataverse data to Microsoft Fabric. Instead of being forced to initially sync all Dataverse tables and later navigate a complex manage tables experience to undo unnecessary selections, customers can choose exactly what they need upfront. This feature significantly reduces onboarding complexity for new admins, prevents accidental over‑syncing of hundreds of tables, and lowers storage and compute costs by ensuring only business‑relevant data is replicated. It also addresses one of the most frequently requested features, directly improving customer satisfaction and trust in the platform.
Feature details
Guided table selection introduces first‑time table selection during initial Dataverse‑to‑Fabric sync setup, making table scoping a core part of the onboarding flow rather than a post‑setup correction. This first‑time table selection directly addresses confusion and cost issues caused by today’s default “sync everything” behavior.
Table selection at initial sync allows customers to explicitly choose which Dataverse tables are synced before any data movement begins, providing these benefits:
- Elimination of the current workflow where customers must first sync all tables and then manually unselect tables. This process is error‑prone and difficult, especially when dealing with environments containing dozens or hundreds of tables.
- Cost‑aware onboarding, ensuring storage and Fabric artifacts are created only for selected tables, reduces unnecessary data duplication and storage spend from day one.
- A simpler, more intuitive experience for first‑time admins, aligned across Fabric and Power Apps entry points, reduces cognitive load and improves time‑to‑value.
By shifting table selection earlier in the journey, this feature delivers a cleaner initial setup, better cost control, and a more predictable analytics experience—especially for customers new to Dataverse and Fabric.
