Metadata Management Processes

Metadata search can be accessed from Visual Studio > Dynamics 365 > Metadata search. Searching elements based on metadata allows you to find related elements.​

Keywords that you can use in the Metadata search include:​

  • Name – Filter by element name. This is also the default filter if no keyword is specified. A comma can be used to search for multiple element names.​
  • Type – Filter by element type. A comma can be used after an element to specify sub elements.​
  • Model – Filter by model name. Each comma-separated value will look for a model in your application.​
  • Property – Filters properties on forms. Each comma-separated value should be a property on the form.​
  • Code – Filter code snippets. The code snippet should be in quotes.
