In Dataverse, what type of relationship creates a strict parent-child dependency where child records are deleted when the parent is deleted?
Answer: Parental relationship
A Parental relationship configures cascading deletes so child records are automatically removed when the parent record is deleted.
Which Dataverse column type automatically calculates its value based on a formula referencing other columns in the same table?
Answer: Calculated column
Calculated columns use a formula defined in the column editor to derive their value from other fields on the same record.
What is the purpose of a Rollup column in Dataverse?
Answer: Aggregate values from related child records into the parent record
Rollup columns summarize data (sum, count, avg, min, max) from related child records and store the result on the parent record.
In Dataverse, which table type stores data that rarely changes and is used to provide reference values, such as country codes?
Answer: Standard table
Standard tables are the default Dataverse table type and are used for all persistent reference and transactional data.
What does a Many-to-Many (N:N) relationship in Dataverse require behind the scenes?
Answer: An auto-created intersect (junction) table to store the associations
Dataverse automatically creates a hidden intersect table to store the pairs of related records for N:N relationships.
Which Dataverse feature enforces data consistency by defining rules that must be true before a record can be saved?
Answer: Business Rules
Business Rules can set field requirements and display error messages that prevent saving if conditions are not met.
