Description

Build queries for Microsoft Dataverse and the Power Platform. Investigate data. Fix the layouts. Get code. Empower yourself to achieve more.

FetchXML Builder is used to create and execute queries against Microsoft Dataverse / Power Apps / Dynamics 365.
The Power Platform includes technologies we know as:
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Dynamics CRM
- XRM
- Power Apps (Model Driven)
- Power Apps (Canvas connected to Dataverse)
- PowerBI (connected to Dataverse)
- Microsoft Teams for Dataverse

The tool will assist in three major areas:

1. Constructing queries, including more advanced features like:
- aggregates
- outer joins
- complex "not-in"-queries
- attributes from multi-level linked entities
- update existing views with altered queries

2. Querying CDS/CRM for information not (easily) found in the UI
- system / internal entities
- attributes hidden in CRM UI
- join on other fields than relationships

3. Developer assistance generating code for
- C# QueryExpression code
- WebAPI / OData query string
- Power Automate List Records
- SQL, JavaScript and C# stubs
- Easy to use UI to compose queries for reports in CRM

The tool reads metadata from Microsoft Dataverse and Dynamics 365 / CRM to assist with selecting entities, attributes, relations and to perform validation of condition values.

To make it even more appealing, there is also the possibility to have it show "Friendly names", which will replace the technical names of entities and attributes with their display names in the users' currently selected language, much like Advanced Find does.

Microsoft should've built this tool. I used it all the time. One minor feedback, is that I wished it allowed me to show more than 5000 records without having to use pagination. Well, guess what, there is a setting to show more than 5,000 records :) https://jonasr.app/wp-content/uploads/Retrieve-All-Pages.png

Thanks! 😊 Did you use the settings to show *all* pages in one retrieve? See screenshot: https://jonasr.app/wp-content/uploads/Retrieve-All-Pages.png

This is one of those 'must-have' toolbox plugins. I could not imagine working without it. Many thanks to Jonas and any other contributors!
T Y () - version 1.2018.8.2
New user review: PROS: UI is fairly intuitive. Stretchable windows is a good feature. Ability to display QueryExpression is nice but see above. Ability to remember connection details is a real "God send". Various view is excellent. CONS: The FetchXML functionality supported by this tool is constrained to the limitations of QueryExpression (e.g. comparing attributes from 2 different , linked entities - basic SQL functionality - is not supported). Disappointed.

This is a brilliant plugin and really increases your productivity by constructing your FetchXML or QueryExpressions for you. So if you are c# developer and want to use Query expressions, you can use the point and click UI to construct your query, get the results and then have Fetch XML generate the Query Expressions for you that you can just copy and paste into your code!!! Brilliant plugin... keep up the good work!!! :)
