Work with tables and fields

So you are working with troubleshooting or maybe extending Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.

• You might have a TableId and want to know what table(name) is behind that id.
• You might have a table(name) and want to know what TableId is behind that table name.
• You might have a TableId and FieldId and want to know what hides behind different ids.
• You might have a table(name) and want to know what fields are part of the table.
• You might have part of a field(name) and want to search all tables for a matching field.

Look no further!

We assume:

• That you already did run the Install-Modele -Name d365fo.tools on the machine / server you will be using for this.
• That you will be running this from a Tier 1 machine /environment or one the AOS machines / Servers in the Tier 2 environment.

1. Start PowerShell (Start Menu - type powershell and click enter when you see the icon marked)
2. Run Import-Module d365fo.tools

You want to search for CustTable, either by TableId or TableName

Get-D365Table -Id 10347

You only have the TableId: 10347 on your hands and your memory doesn't seem to remember that this is actually CustTable

Get-D365Table -Name CustTable

You only have the "CustTable" on your hands and your memory doesn't seem to remember that this is actually TableId: 10347

You want to see all fields for CustTable, either by TableId or TableName

Get-D365TableField -TableId 10347
#OR
Get-D365TableField -TableId 10347 -IncludeTableDetails | Format-Table

You only have the TableId: 10347 on your hands and you can't remember all fields that is part of that table

Get-D365TableField -TableName CustTable
#OR
Get-D365TableField -TableName CustTable -IncludeTableDetails | Format-Table

You only have the "CustTable" on your hands and you can't remember all fields that is part of that table

You want to see a specific field for CustTable, either by TableId or TableName, and either by FieldId or FieldName

Get-D365TableField -TableId 10347 -FieldId 175
#OR
Get-D365TableField -TableId 10347 -Name vatnum

You only have the TableId: 10347 on your hands and you can't the FieldId or FieldName for VATNUM

Get-D365TableField -TableName CustTable -FieldId 175
#OR
Get-D365TableField -TableName CustTable -Name vatnum

You only have the "CustTable" on your hands and you can't the FieldId or FieldName for VATNUM

You are ready to take your PowerShell skills to the next level

Get-D365Table -Name CustTable,CustTrans | Get-D365TableField -Name Accountnum -IncludeTableDetails | Format-Table

You want to search for a Column(name) / Field(name) across multiple known tables

Get-D365Table -Name CustTable,CustTrans | Get-D365TableField -IncludeTableDetails | Format-Table

You want to see all fields across multiple known tables

Get-D365TableField -Name AccountNum -SearchAcrossTables | Get-D365TableField -IncludeTableDetails | Format-Table

You want to search for a Column(name) / Field(name) across all tables and include the full details

Note: The first instance of Get-D365TableField finds all FieldIds with TableIds, and the second instance of Get-D365TableField is used to do the search again to have the TableName included in the result

Get-D365TableField -Name "Account*" -SearchAcrossTables  | Format-List

You want to search for a Column(name) / Field(name) across all tables

Small teaser for the combination of Get-D365Table and Invoke-D365TableBrowser

Get-D365Table -Name CustTable,CustTrans | Invoke-D365TableBrowser -Company USMF

You want to start the table browser for both CustTable & CustTrans, against the USMF company
