Safyr for Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a powerful metadata visualization and discovery technology product that your data analysts and data scientists can use to gain insight into and exploit the data architecture in your own customized Microsoft Dynamics 365 systems. This is a critical task for accelerating effective delivery of a wide range of information led projects. You utilise it to speed up the source data discovery process for many projects such as data catalog, data governance, data warehouse, data analytics, master data, data integration, data migration and more.
Safyr is particularly useful when you have significantly extended the set of standard Dynamics tables and/or you have multiple instances of Dynamics 365 to manage. Where there are multiple Dynamics instances, Safyr’s comparison features can be used to quickly identify the differences between these systems.

Safyr reveals details of all the tables in the Dynamics instance, including any ‘User Defined’ tables.
It’s easy to search the tables and to see the numbers of relationships to other tables in the Dynamics system, and the volume of physical data in each table, using the Row Count.
Safyr extracts this information from Microsoft Dataverse (previously known as the Common Data Service) by using an API connection provided by our partner PascalCase. This means that Safyr retrieves any tables which it finds there, including tables created as a customisation to 365 or as part of an application built using PowerApps. The results are stored in a Safyr repository and can be searched, analyzed, visualized and subset for onward processing.
Each table can be expanded to show all the Fields, the Primary Key and Foreign Keys, all based upon the definitions drawn from the Dynamics environment.
Safyr extracts Relationship information to help the user understand how Dynamics 365 joins tables. Using this information, details of the related tables for a given table can be displayed.
We can help with your Business Case for Safyr.
You can use Safyr to create groups of tables which represent a business concept or other artefact. These are called Subject Areas and can contain as many tables as are relevant to the project.
Subject Areas can be exported for use with other software products and tools as well as to a range of industry standard formats.
Content from Safyr can be used with products from Collibra, Informatica EDC, Alation, Solidatus, Infogix, erwin DI, ASG Data Intelligence, Adaptive, Data Advantage Group, SAP and more.
Subject Areas can be visualized as a Data Model diagram, either using Safyr’s built-in ERDiagrammer, or a range of popular data modelling tools including erwin DM, ER/Studio and SAP PowerDesigner.
