Copilot Studio messages are the common currency across Copilot Studio capabilities. A billed message is a request or message sent to the copilot triggering an action
and/or response. Examples: a) User asks copilot when a store is open, and copilot replies with store hours = 1 billed message b) Copilot proactively greets the user on a
website = 1 billed message, c) User asks copilot for store hours for the upcoming holiday, copilot responds using GenAnswers = 2 billed messages

A service limit applies, see Quotas, limits, and configuration values for more information.

Message Consumption rates: 1) Regular (Non-generative AI) = 1 message, 2) Generative AI (Gen AI) answers over your data = 2 messages. Customers can use a mix of
regular and Generative AI messages.

Note: A Copilot Studio User License ($0) is required for each user authoring bots with Copilot Studio. We recommend acquiring the tenant license and user licenses as part of
a single transaction to simplify onboarding to Copilot Studio.

Power Apps
Service Overview
Power Apps is a low code/no code application platform that allows enterprises to build,
modernize, and deploy unlimited applications for teams, departments, or entire
organizations and customize existing Dynamics 365 and Microsoft/Office 365
applications. For more details, please visit https://powerapps.microsoft.com/.

Licensing overview
General purpose, full Power Apps capabilities are licensed via Power Apps subscriptions on a per user basis and via pay-
as-you-go enabling licensed users to create, customize, share, and run business applications. These offers are fully
featured.
Additionally, limited Power Apps capabilities are included within select Dynamics 365 and Microsoft/Office 365 licenses.
For more information, please see the sections titled Power Apps use rights included with Dynamics 365 licenses and Power
Apps Basic later in this document.
A high-level overview of the licensing structure is provided below.

broadly. Power Apps per app is an attractive licensing option for licensing end users that run only a few apps and/or
access only a few websites.
Note:
• A single user might be covered by multiple ‘per app’ licenses to allow the user to use multiple solutions targeted
at various business scenarios, without requiring a per user license.
• Once a pool of Power Apps per app licenses is purchased, individual licenses need to be assigned to specific
environments and to individual users (i.e., if the same app or website exists in two environments, a user will
require two per app User SLs to access both).
• Power Apps per app is also available to qualified education customers under faculty and student pricing. Since
these licenses are sold as tenant level capacity and are not assigned to users in Active Directory, customers and
partners will be responsible for ensuring that student pricing is applied to students only.

Power Apps per app pay-as-you-go meter


The Power Apps per app meter enables individual users to run one custom application. This option is best for businesses
that want to pay-as-you-go for only the users who access a Power App one more times in a month.

Power apps per app pay-as-you-go offer summary


SKU Name Power Apps Per App Active User-1
Meter name Power Apps per app meter

Power Apps per app pay-as-you-go meter definition: A measure of the number of unique, active users who open a single
pay-as-you-go enabled app in an environment one or more times in a month.

Power Apps use rights included with Dynamics 365 licenses

allow users to customize and extend Dynamics 365 applications. Use of Power Apps capabilities included with Dynamics
365 licenses must be only within the context of and in the same environment as the licensed Dynamics 365 application.

code extensibility platform for Microsoft Teams only. For a complete list of Microsoft 365 and Office 365 and licenses that

Power Automate Premium includes access to AI Builder capacity in support of scenarios like forms processing, object

a workstation.
Please note running an RPA bot in an unattended scenario requires the addition of the Power Automate Hosted Process
license.

Multiple desktop flows may be authored/recorded for the RPA bot to execute. However, a bot can only execute one discrete
desktop flow (i.e., process) at a time. Multiple processes must be serialized to run sequentially.
*Per tenant/month, one license allows user or capacity to use in any environment in the tenant.
Note:
• Desktop flow authoring, bot orchestration and management are included in this offer.
• Additional AI Builder capacity can be purchased per 1M service credits for $500/month; AI Builder service credit
capacity is pooled at the tenant level.

Power Automate Process


The Power Automate Process license can be used to license a single autonomous bot that can be used for unattended
robotic process automation (unattended RPA), independent of a user, or a critical business process that can be accessed
org-wide without licensing individual users. Power Automate Process also includes access to AI Builder capacity in support
of scenarios like forms processing, object detection, prediction, text classification, and recognition.

When licensing bots for unattended automation:


• Concurrent instances of a singular process require an additional unattended bot for each instance.
• Unattended bots can be deployed on a local, remote desktop, or other virtualized environment. This license does
not include any of these resources. The Power Automate Hosted Process license includes all the value of the
Power Automate Process license with a virtual machine hosted and managed by Microsoft

When licensing business processes (e.g., invoice processing or HR onboarding):


• Every top-level flow needs to be licensed individually. ‘Child flows’ triggered by another flow do not need to be
additionally licensed.
• Scheduled flows may be configured to trigger every minute, irrespective of license type. There are no limits on the
frequency of flow runs beyond what a connector supports.

*Per environment/month, one license allows the bot or process to be used in a single environment. An additional license is required if the same bot or process is
deployed in a different environment.

• One Hosted Process license includes the capacity for one Microsoft hosted machine and an unattended RPA bot.
All desktop flows (RPA) running on the machine and cloud flows (DPA) that are part of the business process are
also covered by the license.
• One Hosted Process license can also be used as a Process license to run unattended automation on a customer
managed machine.
• Additional AI Builder capacity can be purchased per 1M service credits for $500/month; AI Builder service credit
capacity is pooled at the tenant level.
• Any services or applications the unattended bot accesses must be licensed separately. For instance, if the bot is
accessing Windows or Office, the Microsoft 365 – Unattended License must also be purchased in addition to the
Power Automate Hosted Process license.

Power Automate Process Mining


Process Mining is a capacity-based, add-on license that enables rapid ROI for customers by identifying critical
optimization opportunities and improving existing processes. There are no limits to the number of users per tenant.

Capacity should be purchased for peak utilization over a 12-month contract period. If customers experience monthly or
seasonal spikes, they must purchase enough capacity to allow for this high "watermark” when estimating the amount of
capacity needed per month.

License Type Per 100 GB of data stored /month*
Qualifying base license Power Automate Premium
Capacity per license 100 GB of data stored/month
*Per 100 GB of data stored per tenant/month, capacity-based license/tenant.

Power Automate per user


Power Automate per user equips individual users to create and run unlimited workflows and business processes based on
their unique needs. The per user license is intended to support the broad adoption of an automation culture in an
organization. Should the entire organization be licensed with the Power Automate per user, admins will have minimal
overhead with tracking how many flows are being activated and used within the organization.

* Per tenant/month, one license allows user or capacity to use in any environment in the tenant.

Power Platform Licensing Guide | June 2024 P a g e | 14


Power Automate per flow
Power Automate per flow is licensed by top-level flow and allows customers to implement critical business processes with
capacity that serves teams, departments, or the entire organization without individually licensing each end user that
triggers the licensed flow.

Per flow offer details


SKU Name Power Automate per flow
License Type Per flow*
Minimum initial purchase 5 units
*Per environment/month, one license allows the bot or process to be used in a single environment.
An additional license is required if the same bot or process is deployed in a different environment.

• All top-level flows need to be licensed individually (scheduled flows, automated flows, instant flows, and business
process flows). Flows that are only used as “child” flows (triggered by another flow) do not need to be additionally
licensed.
• Customers wishing to license more top-level flows, should purchase more units of the “Power Automate per flow.”
Note: scheduled flows may be configured to trigger every minute, irrespective of license type. There are no limits on the
frequency of flow runs beyond what the connector supports.

Power Automate unattended RPA add-on


The Power Automate unattended RPA add-on extends desktop-based automation by enabling a bot to run autonomously,
i.e., independent of a user. Unattended bots can be deployed on a local, remote desktop, or other virtualized environment.
Power Automate Premium or Power Automate per flow qualify as base licenses for the unattended RPA add-on. Multiple
unattended RPA add-on licenses can be added with a single qualifying base license.
The Power Automate unattended RPA add-on is licensed by bot. Concurrent instances of a singular process require an
additional unattended bot for each instance.
Power Automate Unattended RPA add-on

SKU Name Power Automate unattended RPA add-on

License Type Per bot*

Qualifying base licenses Power Automate Premium, Power Automate per flow

Included AI Builder service credits 5,000/month

Any software automated with an unattended bot may require additional


licensing. For example, unattended RPA scenarios incorporating M/O365
Additional licensing may be required
require the Microsoft 365 - Unattended License. Please see the Product
Terms for more information.
*Per environment/month, one license allows the bot or process to be used in a single environment. An additional license is required if the same bot or process is
deployed in a different environment.

• One unattended RPA add-on license includes the rights to one unattended RPA bot, as well as all necessary
functions tied to desktop flow authoring, bot orchestration and management.
• Running the unattended RPA bot in a VM requires the separate purchase of any necessary compute resources.
• Additional AI Builder capacity can be purchased per 1M service credits for $500/month; AI Builder service credit
capacity is pooled at the tenant level.

Power Automate use rights included with Power Apps licenses


The Power Apps Premium, Power Apps per app and Power Apps pay-as-you-go licenses include Power Automate use
rights for the purpose of automating workflows associated with Power Apps applications. Power Automate use within

Power Platform Licensing Guide | June 2024 P a g e | 15


Power Apps is limited to the context of the Power Apps application. What this means is that for both triggers and actions,
a flow included within a Power Apps application connect to:
• Any data source within the use rights of the Power Apps application.
• Directly with the Power Apps application (via built in trigger/action).
If the flow is isolated and has nothing to do with the Power Apps application, then a full Power Automate license will need
to be purchased.

Example of Power Automate use within Power Apps application context


A user with a full Power Apps license runs an app that uses a SQL Server database as the data source and includes flows
that:
• Read from OR write to the SQL Server database.
• Use a built-in Power Apps trigger and/or action – e.g., sends a push notification to the app.

Example of Power Automate use outside of Power Apps application context


The same user (in the example above) now also wants to use a flow that updates an Oracle database, that:
• Is completely unrelated to the Power Apps app.
• Does not interact in any way with the Power Apps app (or its data sources).
This user will then require a full Power Automate license.

Power Automate use rights included with Dynamics 365 licenses


Dynamics 365 licenses include Power Automate use rights for the purpose of customizing and extending Dynamics 365
applications. Power Automate use within Dynamics 365 is limited to the context of the embedding Dynamics 365
application. For both triggers and actions, flows included within the Dynamics 365 application can connect:
• To any data source within the use rights of the Dynamics 365 application
• Directly with the Dynamics 365 application (via built in trigger/action)
If the embedded flow is not within the context of the Dynamics 365 application, then full Power Automate licenses will
need to be purchased.

Power Automate Basic


Power Automate Basic (Power Automate use rights included with select Microsoft 365/Office 365 licenses) allows users to
customize and extend Microsoft 365/Office 365 for productivity scenarios, and to deliver a comprehensive low-code
extensibility platform for Microsoft Teams only. For a complete list Microsoft 365/Office 365 licenses that include Power
Automate and Dataverse for Teams use rights, please refer to Appendix B.

Power Automate use rights included with Windows licenses


Limited Power Automate use rights are included with select Windows licenses to create and execute personal desktop
automation for attended RPA capabilities in Power Automate Desktop. This expands the digital workforce’s ability to
automate legacy tasks that can slow down workflows, empowering Windows users to start automating redundant and
time-consuming tasks with low-code automation through RPA. For a complete list of Windows licenses that include these
use rights, please refer to Appendix B.

Power Automate use within Windows is available for all applications and websites (across all web browsers). Enterprise
automation and administrative rights are not available in Windows.

AI Builder
Service overview
AI Builder helps empower everyone, regardless of their technical experience, to work with Artificial
Intelligence (AI). This solution helps businesses to easily add AI capabilities to both apps and business
processes. AI Builder supports various scenarios such as predictions, business card reader, and many
more. For more information on AI Builder, please visit AI Builder licensing.

Licensing overview
AI Builder is licensed on a monthly capacity basis via the AI Builder capacity add-on. This capacity is
expressed in the form of “service credits.” Service credits serve as the single, common currency across all
the capabilities supported by AI Builder. Qualifying prerequisites for the AI Builder add-on include Power
Apps Premium and Power Apps per app, Power Automate Premium, Power Automate Process, Power
Automate Hosted Process, Power Automate unattended RPA add-on and Dynamics 365 Finance
subscription licenses. Multiple AI Builder add-ons can be applied against a single qualifying base license.
The AI Builder add-on is offered via capacity packs with tiered pricing. Each capacity pack includes 1
million service credits per month. Service credits are pooled across the tenant and available service
credits are deducted when AI Builder services are used; (e.g., if a customer requires 4.7 million service
credits per month based on anticipated usage, they should purchase 5 capacity packs.)
Different capabilities, for example, forms processing, prediction, burn down service credits at different
rates. (See the AI Builder rate card for details). Customers should purchase the appropriate number of AI
Builder capacity packs based on anticipated usage across all scenarios.

AI Builder capacity packs

Capacity Pack AI Builder add-on Capacity Packs Capacity pack


Tiers SKU Names Minimum Purchase price/month

Capacity enforcement

For AI Builder capacity add-on SKUs, purchased capacity is enforced monthly and unused service credits
do not carry over month to month.

Overage handling

While occasional and reasonable overages will be tolerated, customers exceeding purchased capacity
should adjust their purchase quantity per standard Microsoft terms to remain in compliance. In case of
credit overuse, Edit and Creation of AI Builder models will be blocked while in overage. For AI Builder
models used in flows and apps, more stringent technical enforcement (including service denial) will result
for usage that is significantly over the purchased capacity.
Comprehensive monitoring, reporting, and alerting mechanisms will be instituted to assist customers with
managing AI Builder capacity.

Assignment of purchased capacity

Assignment of purchased capacity to appropriate Power Automate, Power Apps applications and
Dynamics 365 workloads is managed in product. Assignment helps ensure capacity for critical AI models.
The minimum capacity to be assigned is 1 service credit.

Dataverse
Dataverse default and accrued subscription capacity entitlements
Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio and Power Pages default subscription capacities leverage
the same tenant and infrastructure and will accrue across one tenant. Every tenant with a Power Apps,
Power Automate, Copilot Studio or Power Pages license receives default capacity. In addition, for each
Power Apps Premium, Power Apps per app, Power Automate Premium, Power Automate Process, Power
Automate Process Mining and Power Pages license there is additional accrued capacity added to the
tenant. For Dataverse for Teams capacity and service limits, please refer to the documentation here.

Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Power Pages and Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service,
and Field Service applications leverage the same tenant and infrastructure. Dataverse capacity (Dataverse
Database, Dataverse File, and Dataverse Log) is accrued across the tenant and shared amongst relevant
application workloads.

There are additional Microsoft subscriptions beyond Power Platform that grant Dataverse capacity
entitlements. Please see this page for details related to Project for the web, as well as the Dynamics 365
Licensing Guide for information related to other entitlements.

Dataverse allows integration with Outlook and SharePoint.

Dataverse capacity types and purposes

Dataverse Purposes

Database Stores and manages table definitions and data


Stores attachments to notes or emails in Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service
File applications and Power Apps. These include documents, image files, videos, PDF files and other
crucial files needed in an organization.
Records table and column data changes over time for use in analysis and reporting purposes. Log
Log
capacity is designed to help organizations meet their auditing, compliance, and governance policies.

The first Power Apps OR Power Automate OR Copilot Studio OR Power Pages OR Dynamics 365 Sales,
Customer Service, and Field Service subscription provides the one-time default capacity entitlement for
the tenant. For example, if a new customer purchases Power Apps Premium, the tenant will receive 10 GB
of default Dataverse Database capacity. Additional subscriptions do not add to the tenant’s default
capacity.
When additional subscriptions are added to the tenant, additional Dataverse capacity may accrue to the
tenant. Example: Assume that a new customer purchases 10 Power Apps Premium licenses and 20 Power
Apps per app licenses. The total tenant wide pooled capacity will be as follows (note 1GB = 1,024MB):

Default/ Total Tenant


Default and Accrued Capacity Allocation Accrued/10 Enterprise USL
tenant wide capacity
Dataverse Database capacity 10 GB 10*250MB + 20*50MB = 3.5GB 10GB + 3.5GB = 13.5GB
Dataverse File capacity 20 GB 10*2GB + 20*400MB = 28GB 20GB+28GB = 48 GB
Dataverse Log capacity 2 GB NA 2GB

Dataverse capacity add-ons


Apps, flows, or websites utilizing Dataverse will consume varying quantities of Dataverse Database
capacity, Dataverse File capacity, and Dataverse Log capacity. Additional capacity is available through the
Dataverse capacity add-ons.

Subscription Capacity/tenant Additional Increment


Dataverse Database capacity add-on 1 GB
Dataverse File capacity add-on 1 GB
Dataverse Log capacity add-on 1 GB

Power Platform Licensing Guide | June 2024 P a g e | 27


Please note that Dataverse capacity add-ons do not apply to Dataverse for Teams scenarios (i.e., when a
Dataverse for Teams environment reaches its limit, customers need to step up to full Power Apps, Power
Automate, Copilot Studio or Power Pages licenses for additional capacity).

Dataverse default capacity for Power Platform pay-as-you-go environments


Dataverse default capacity
Environments configured to use Power Platform pay-as-you-go, receive a one-time entitlement of 1GB of
Dataverse Database and 1GB of Dataverse File capacity per environment. These entitlements do not
change based on the number of users using apps or custom websites in an environment. These pay-as-
you-go environments do not consume tenant-wide Dataverse capacity. More information available here.

Dataverse capacity meters


With a pay-as-you-go enabled environment, Dataverse capacity meters can be used to pay-as-you-go for
Dataverse usage as alternatives to the existing subscription capacity add-ons for overages. Dataverse pay-
as-you-go capacity is billed based on the amount of capacity used in the environment, beyond the 1GB
Dataverse Database capacity and 1GB Dataverse File capacity entitlements per environment. No capacity
is allocated for Dataverse Logs. (Fractional usage is calculated to 2 decimal places in local currencies.)

Meter definition: Amount of capacity used in the environment beyond any entitled amounts (1GB
database capacity and 1GB of file capacity per environment).

Dataverse Capacity/environment Additional Increment


Dataverse Database capacity 1 GB
Dataverse File capacity 1 GB
Dataverse Log capacity 1 GB

Additional Resources
Multiplexing
Microsoft’s Multiplexing rules protect against customers looking for ways to purchase fewer licenses than
would otherwise be required to access a software or service. “Multiplexing” refers to the use of hardware
or software to pool connections, reroute or indirectly access information, and/or reduce the number of
devices or users that directly access or use a product. The most common form of Multiplexing is often
thought of as “connection pooling”, where many users are accessing an application through a single
contact point. As technology in the world has advanced, there are many other forms of Multiplexing that
have emerged, such as automated processes to migrate data, accessing applications indirectly, and more.

Multiplexing does not reduce the number of subscription licenses of any type required to access the
Power Platform services. Any user or device that inputs data into, queries, views data from or otherwise
Power Platform Licensing Guide | June 2024 P a g e | 28
accesses Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio and Power Pages apps, directly or indirectly must
be properly licensed. The number of tiers of hardware or software between Power Platform apps and the
users or devices that ultimately use Power Platform indirectly does not affect the number of User SLs
required. For additional information about multiplexing refer to the Microsoft Multiplexing Overview.

Licensing Requirements for External Users


External users* must be appropriately licensed to access Power Platform services and data. Applicable
licensing includes:
• An appropriate Power Platform User SL
• Power Pages Authenticated or Anonymous users/website capacity licenses
• Accessing via Power Automate per flow or Power Automate Process licenses
• Limited capabilities included with Dynamics 365, Office 365, or Windows licenses
Users must be appropriately licensed whether they are accessing directly or indirectly per multiplexing
guidelines. More information on external guest user access is available here.
*External Users are defined as users that are not employees, onsite contractors or onsite agents of
Customer or its Affiliates.

Appendix A: Terminology and Custom Tables


Administration: Administration is critical in order to establish boundaries and policies around the use of
Power Apps in organizations
• Manage environments – space to store, and manage, and share data, apps, and flows
• Data policies – create and enforce policies that define how data can be shared
App (definition of Power Apps per app): An “app” is a combination of Power Platform assets that solves a
specific business scenario.
• Each “per app” license provides use rights to run 1 custom app (canvas or model driven), or
access 1 custom website.
• No limits on other components (e.g., forms, dashboards, etc.).
Application Program Interface (API): Any form of application programming interface that provides access
to a Microsoft service and any associated tools, including sample code that enables interactions with
Microsoft's services, and documentation that Microsoft makes available under these TOU, and includes all
elements, components, and executables of such API.
Application Types:
• Canvas Apps: Design and build a business application from a canvas in Microsoft Power Apps
without writing code in a traditional programming language. Design the application by dragging and
dropping elements onto a canvas, the designer has complete control over app layout.
• Model-driven Apps: Design is a component-focused approach to app development based on data
model and business processes. Unlike canvas app development where the designer has complete
control over application layout, with model-driven apps much of the layout is determined for you
and largely designated by the components you add to the application.
Connector: It provides a way for users to connect their business data and leverage a set of pre-built
actions and triggers to build their applications and workflows. Examples of connections: Dataverse
(formerly Common Data Service), SharePoint, SQL, OneDrive, Excel, Dynamics 365.
• Standard Connector: Data sources within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Examples: Excel, Outlook,
SharePoint, LinkedIn. A list of standard connectors is located here.
• Premium Connector: Business systems beyond Microsoft 365. Examples: DocuSign, Zendesk, Jira
Software.
• Custom Connector: To support more tailored scenarios, users can build custom connectors with
their own triggers and actions. These connectors are function-based; data is returned based on
calling specific functions in the underlying service. Example: Services that are not available as
prebuilt connectors.
• On-premises Connector: Accesses on-premises data using a gateway. Example: Microsoft SQL
Server.
CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete operations.
Copilot: Copilot is an AI assistant powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) that offers innovative
solutions across the Microsoft Cloud. Copilots aim to enhance productivity, creativity, and data
accessibility while providing enterprise-grade data security and privacy features. They bridge the gap
between complex tasks and user-friendly solutions, providing a natural language conversational interface
to interact with data, create automations, build applications, and even assist with coding tasks. Their
integration within Microsoft platforms/products provides a more efficient digital workspace.
Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service): Dataverse lets you store and manage data that is used by
business applications.
Dataverse for Teams, built atop Dataverse, delivers a built-in low code data platform for Microsoft Teams,
and provides relational data storage, rich data types, enterprise grade governance, and one-click solution
deployment.
Dataverse is designed to be used in any application (not just Teams) and includes additional security
features such as auditing, sharing, column level and hierarchical security. For a detailed comparison on
Dataverse for Teams and Dataverse capabilities, please refer to the public documentation here.

Power Platform Licensing Guide | June 2024 P a g e | 30


Desktop flow: A feature in Power Automate targeting the RPA market by enabling legacy apps to be
automated via GUI vs API.
• Processes executed via desktop flows can be contained within a broader API-based automation
scenario or exist standalone.
Flow (definition of flow within app context): For both triggers and actions, flows included within an
embedding application can connect:
• To any data source within the use rights of the embedding application
• Directly with the embedding application (via built in trigger/action)
Generative AI: Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence focused on the ability of computers to use
models to create content like images, text, code, and synthetic data.
Generative AI applications are built on top of large language models (LLMs) and foundation models.
• LLMs are deep learning models that consume and train on massive datasets to excel in
language processing tasks. They create new combinations of text that mimic natural
language based on its training data.
• Foundation models are large ML models pre-trained with the intention that they are to be
fine-tuned for more specific language understanding and generation tasks. These models
are utilized to discern patterns within the input data.
After these models have completed their learning processes, together they generate statistically probable
outputs when prompted and they can be employed to accomplish various tasks, including:
• Image generation based on existing ones or utilizing the style of one image to modify or
create a new one.
• Speech tasks such as transcription, translation, question/answer generation, and
interpretation of the intent or meaning of text.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA): A market for process automation that encompasses the use of an
application's graphical user interface (GUI), where a user records a series of steps/actions/tasks for the
automation technology to then perform as a process by repeating directly in the GUI.
RPA robot or "bot": A GUI-based process running on a desktop or virtualized environment.
• Attended bot: Triggered by an explicit user action on their workstation, i.e., a local or remote
desktop
o Must operate concurrently with the user on the same workstation
o Can run more than one discrete process, but each process must be serialized to run
sequentially
• Unattended bot: Runs autonomously without requiring user actuation
o Can be deployed on a local or remote desktop, or other virtualized environment
o Can run more than one discrete process, but each process must be serialized to run
sequentially
o Concurrent instances of a singular process require an additional unattended bot for each
instance
Tables: A set of records used to store data. Tables let users model business data for use within an
organization’s business applications. Examples of tables: Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity.
• Standard tables: Dataverse provides business tables, out of the box, that represent most commonly
used tables across business applications. Examples: Account, Appointment, Contact, Email, etc.
• Custom tables: Tables that are created by the customer/partner for a specific business need. For
example, type of machine is not a standard table, so it can be created as a custom table.
• Restricted tables: Tables that requires a Dynamics 365 license for full access. Examples: Case, SAL,
Knowledge Articles. For list of restricted tables click here.
• Complex tables: These are tables that use complex server-side business logic. Any table (whether
standard or custom) becomes complex once the customer/partner associates the table with the
custom business logic. Example: any table that uses a real-time workflow or code plug-in.
Workflows:
• Background workflows: Task automation across systems and services. Runs in the background.
• Real-time workflows: Task automation across systems and services. Runs in a real time manner.
• Business process flows: Structured stateful human interactive workflows which are composed of
multiple steps, allows branching/stage gating, and includes process KPIs and reporting.
