Work with Prompt columns and row summaries
A Prompt column is an AI-powered column type in Dataverse that stores the result of a natural language prompt run against other column values in the same row. When a record is created or updated, Dataverse evaluates the prompt and stores the generated output directly in the column — ready to be used in apps, flows, or views without any manual entry.
This unit covers how to create and configure Prompt columns, and how to configure a related feature — row summaries — that uses the same prompt-based approach to surface key record information directly in model-driven app forms.
