Configuration and reference data
The last part of this chapter is about configuration and reference data. A solution does not contain actual data or rows in a table. There are several use cases where we would like to transport data during a deployment, though. For example, the configuration of a Power Pages instance is only done in non-solution-aware tables.
Another example is reference data for integration. With that, we mean data that represents certain information in the other system that we need to map into our system. This could be user-friendly names of drop-down options that are only delivered as integers in the integration or mappings between an input value from the integration and the corresponding record in our system. Those are usually the same in every environment, which means we would like to transport them during our deployment so that changes are reflected in the downstream environment as well.
There are different ways of transporting data in Power Platform, for...
