If you have a list that stores all of your product data in SharePoint, a virtual table lets you access that data within an app and also provide relationships between Dataverse tables and the SharePoint lists. You can even use your custom Power Apps code to make changes directly in the source, just by using the APIs that Dataverse provides.<\/p>\n<h2>Virtual Table Components<\/h2>\n<p>Virtual tables require connectors and connection references in order to authenticate to the data source and allow Dataverse to speak to the connection. If you are building a virtual table manually, you need to build plug-ins to allow the Dataverse and source APIs to communicate, set up a connector, set up a connection reference, register a service principle with Azure to allow authentication, and then finally build the table.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-19548\" height=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-Icons-1024x347.jpg\" width=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-Icons-1024x347.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-Icons-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-Icons-768x260.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-Icons.jpg 1053w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why are Virtual Connector Providers important?<\/h2>\n<p>Virtual Connector Providers make the process of creating virtual tables easier. If you use a Virtual Connector Provider, Dataverse does some of the work for you. You will no longer need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create Plug-ins for APIs<\/li>\n<li>Create Service Principles<\/li>\n<li>Search for which tables or lists are compatible in your data source<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these steps are handled for you!<\/p>\n<h2>Entity Catalog<\/h2>\n<p>The Entity Catalog will provide you a listing of every table or list from a connected data source that can be used for creating a Virtual Table. This reduces the creation time by eliminating the need to search for the exact table or list names in your source. The catalog is created automatically once you connect to the Virtual Table source.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19550\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-ENtity-Catalog.jpg\" width=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-ENtity-Catalog.jpg 638w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/VCP-ENtity-Catalog-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> If you have used the virtual connector provider for SQL you may notice some changes. Creating the virtual entity source no longer requires details like Client ID and GUIDs as this is managed by Dataverse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is this available?<\/strong> NOW! Feel free to try it out. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-apps\/developer\/data-platform\/virtual-entities\/create-virtual-tables-using-connectors?tabs=sql\">Check out our online documentation for more details.<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Important note:<\/strong> At this time there is a required step to download and install the Virtual Connector from Appsource.
