Question

A company uses SharePoint for its intranet and other functions. The company has also implemented model-driven apps.

SharePoint users must be able to create contact records in Microsoft Dataverse without navigating to the model-driven apps.

You need to create a SharePoint link that opens the Dataverse contact form and displays data from SharePoint. How should you complete the URL?

Select

http://contoso.crm.dynamics.com/?=contact&=param_1%3DSharePoint&pagetype=

Explanation

The documented way to open a model-driven form by URL is main.aspx with the query parameters pagetype=entityrecord (a record form, versus entitylist for a view), etn set to the table's logical name (here contact), and extraqs carrying URL-encoded field values to pre-populate the form from SharePoint data. The entity is identified by etn (entity type name), not etc (entity type code, a numeric legacy value) when using pagetype=entityrecord. appid/id/formid do not pass field data, whereas extraqs is specifically the parameter used to seed values onto the opening form.
