Overcoming the Limitations of the Standard Data Model

The standard data model in Power Pages, while functional, had its limitations. It relied on custom tables in the Dataverse, which meant that provisioning a new site involved loading various solutions, tables, and metadata. This process could be time-consuming and hinder development efficiency.

The Enhanced Data Model: A Streamlined Solution

The Enhanced Data Model addresses these shortcomings by introducing a new approach to data storage and management. Here are the key advantages it offers:

• Enhanced Speed and Performance: The Enhanced Data Model leverages a combination of system tables, non-configuration tables, and virtual tables. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for loading custom solutions and tables, resulting in significantly faster website provisioning and a more responsive design studio experience.
• Simplified Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): Unlike the Standard Data Model, the Enhanced Data Model allows you to store website configurations within solutions. This simplifies ALM by enabling smoother deployments and easier management of configurations across different environments.
• Effortless Integration with Power Pages Updates: The Enhanced Data Model is designed to seamlessly integrate with future Power Pages enhancements and bug fixes. This ensures that you always have access to the latest features and improvements without compatibility issues.

Important Note: The Enhanced Data Model is currently enabled by default in Microsoft Power Platform environments. However, you can still choose to use the Standard Data Model if needed.

Ready to Experience the Power of the Enhanced Data Model?

With its focus on speed, efficiency, and improved ALM capabilities, the Enhanced Data Model is a significant step forward for Power Pages users. If you’re looking to optimize your website development process, we highly recommend exploring this powerful new feature.
