Explore the endpoints in Business Central

With the DTW BI Endpoints Adm permission set assigned, search for BI Endpoints in Business Central. The page lists every BI endpoint available, and doubles as documentation of the Business Central data model: which source tables are used, which columns are available, and how the datasets join.

Use Category and Type to filter the list.

Below the header, three sections describe the data:

  • Properties — every field in the dataset, with its caption.
  • Relationships — the foreign keys in this dataset and the endpoint and primary key field each one joins to. For example, purchaseInvoiceHeaders.buyFromVendorNo joins to vendors.no.
  • Referenced By — the datasets that refer to this one. For example, purchaseInvoiceLines.documentNo refers to purchaseInvoiceHeaders.no.

The same information is available as API endpoints; see Metadata discovery.
