To use the Common Data Service (CDS) in the Power Platform, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Power Platform admin center (https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/) and sign in using your credentials.

  2. Click on the 'Environments' option in the left-hand menu and select the environment where you want to create the CDS.

  3. Click on the 'Settings' icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen and select 'Power Platform Admin Center'.

  4. In the Power Platform Admin Center, click on 'Common Data Service' in the left-hand menu.

  5. You can now create a new CDS database by clicking on the 'New' button.

  6. Choose a display name for the CDS database and click on the 'Create' button.

  7. Once the CDS database is created, you can start adding entities to it. Click on the 'Entities' option in the left-hand menu and then click on 'New Entity'.

  8. Fill in the entity details such as the entity name, display name, and description.

  9. You can then add attributes to the entity by clicking on the 'Attributes' option in the left-hand menu.

  10. You can also create relationships between entities by clicking on the 'Relationships' option in the left-hand menu.

  11. Once you have created entities and relationships, you can start using the CDS in your Power Platform applications.

  12. To use the CDS in a Power Apps canvas app, you can add a CDS data source to the app by clicking on 'Data sources' in the left-hand menu and selecting 'Common Data Service'.

  13. You can then use the CDS data source to populate data in your app and create custom business logic using Power Apps formulas.

That's it! You can now use the Common Data Service in your Power Platform applications
