Article
03/10/2023

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to display a list business information to your users from Microsoft Dataverse on a page in your site.

First, you'll need to create a table (or choose an existing table) in Dataverse to store your business information. You'll also need to configure a view from the table that will define the columns and structure for your list. You'll add the list component to a page. For security reasons, your users won't yet be able to view the information until we define table permissions in the following tutorial.
