Hi dgr ,

 

The "power_devices" is just the name of Common Data Service. It is not a type of connector.

Just pick the datasource that you need.

 

For more details, please refer to:

What is Common Data Service (CDS) and why it is important for you if you use Power Apps or Power BI? - RADACAD

Hi @v-jianboli-msft,

 

Thank you for the material. It was very helpful. 

One more question regarding Common Data Service: The Power Apps portal looks likes below:

 

 

BUT the view should be "Data" --> "Entities" rather than "Dataverse" --> "Tables". Do you know if this different view relates with the premium licence that is required in order to get access in CDS?

 

Thank you very much
