Microsoft Dataverse includes a base set of standard tables by default, and a maker creates custom tables to store information that is unique to the organisation. Is this statement correct?

  • AYes Correct
  • BNo
Standard tables ship with Dataverse to cover common scenarios, while custom tables hold data unique to your organisation. The grounding states Dataverse includes a base set of standard tables that cover typical scenarios, provided by default, and that you extend functionality by creating one or more custom tables to store information unique to your organisation. The statement reflects both points accurately.

Why A is correct: Correct. The grounding states Dataverse includes a base set of standard tables that cover typical scenarios, provided by default, and that you extend functionality by creating one or more custom tables to store information unique to your organisation.

Why B is wrong: Answering No is wrong because the grounding explicitly states Dataverse provides standard tables by default to cover common scenarios, and that you extend them by creating custom tables for information unique to your organisation. Both halves of the statement match the documented behaviour.
