2. What about every other need your business faces?

Only a handful of business apps merit the time and cost of traditional custom software development…
…and only so many problems can be solved with off-the-shelf SaaS.
What about every other need your business faces?

7. What is the Common Data Model?
The Common Data Model is an easy to provision scalable data store that provides security, storage and behavior via an entity model.
The Common Data Model can serve as an operational data store (ODS) and a transaction processing (TP) store*.
Data can be copied into standard and custom entities from multiple systems of record. The data can be cleansed, made non redundant and processed for integrity. This data is read- only. (ODS)
Data can be represented by updatable standard and custom entities which support atomic reads and writes. (TP)
Analytics on the totality of data in the CDM drives insights**.
The Common Data Model provides a standard schema through a set of standard entities
With these capabilities the CDM empowers the power user to measure, act and automate on a consolidated set of data sourced from across the enterprise.
* An operational data store pulls data from other systems and enables work on the consolidated data. A transaction processing store is designed to process the day-to-day transactions of an organization.
** The CDM is not a data warehouse, we are currently investigating in memory analytics and PowerBI for this purpose. A data warehouse accumulates data from other systems for historical analysis.

16. CDM Security Model
Role based security model will be available to secure data
Entity level security will allow you to define Create, Read, Update, Delete permissions at the Entity Level
Entity Field level security will be added post GA
Record level security will be added post GA
Record Owner based authorization, Individuals and teams can be owners
Business Hierarchy based authorization
The security features will be opt-in, full database read/write permissions will be available to make sharing simple apps easier
Test Environments
Dev Environments
Environments without high business value data
Data security can be managed separately from app creation authorization.
Everyone can create apps and flows on secured data
Users can only see the data they are allowed to see
Security configuration is synchronized to PowerBI

17. Building Apps on CDM Entities Reusable Forms and FieldGroups

19. Screens and Forms: Create and Reuse UI for Entities
Screen (PowerApps with all data sources)
Form (Bind to Entities)
Sample 1
Sample 3
Sample 4
A screen defines
References to data sources
Controls
Control data bindings via expressions
Control bindings to variables via expressions
Control event handlers
Configuration related to visual experience
Aspect ratios and canvas size and shape based on device
Fonts, Positions, Colors, Sizes
A screen is an app specific concept.
A form defines
References to Entities
Controls
Control data bindings via expressions
Control bindings to variables via expressions
Control event handlers
A form is a shared concept. Forms gain portability by removing visual experience. Screens can contain forms and content from other connectors. Forms are building blocks for screens.

24. Roadmap is for general information purposes only and subject to change

25. Creating forms
Form designer allows binding of fields and field groups to entity fields
Define reusable forms for Entities and use them in all your apps

26. Standardizing Forms with Field Groups
All standard entities will ship with standard list and detail forms bound to well known Field Groups
As you extend the entities you can add the new fields to the well known field groups for standard forms or custom forms
No need to visit the user interface definition when customizing schema
Scenario: Add a field to an entity and update all apps
Add a new field to an entity
Add the new field to a standard field group
All forms referencing that field group are updated
All screens referencing the forms are updated
Form1: Entity1
Entity1
Group Control: Field Group1 F1
Fields F1 F2
Field Groups
Field Group1 F1 F2 F2
