Cartographer
Understand everything in your Power Platform environment. Crawl, document, and visualize your Dataverse customizations. Free, in full.
Your environment is a black box
Your Dataverse environment has hundreds of components — tables, plugins, cloud flows, business rules, forms, web resources — built by different people at different times. Nobody documented any of it.
That plugin registered on Account update? No one remembers what it does. The cloud flow that fires on Case create? It was built by a contractor who left two years ago. New team members spend weeks just figuring out what exists, let alone how it works.
Flows break with no context. Changes have unintended side effects because nobody can see the full picture. Every environment is a maze of tribal knowledge that walks out the door when someone leaves.
Cartographer fixes this. Permanently.
Four steps to clarity
Install from AppSource
Deploy Cartographer as a managed solution into any Dataverse environment. Takes less than five minutes.
Add solutions to crawl
Pick which solutions you want to document. Cartographer only looks at what you tell it to.
Documentation writes itself
Every component is described in plain English as it is crawled. No AI service, no API key, nothing leaves your environment.
Explore, monitor, maintain
Browse dashboards, automation maps, and user guides. Keep your environment documented as it evolves.
Everything you need to understand your environment
Component Dashboard
Search, filter, and explore every component in your solutions. Click any component to see its full summary, raw metadata, and history.
Plain-English Summaries
Every plugin, flow, business rule, form, web resource, custom API and plugin assembly gets a readable description built from its own metadata - generated during the crawl, with no model and no key.
Automation Map
Visual diagram of every trigger on any table. See all plugins, flows, and business rules that fire on Create, Update, Delete — color-coded by type.
Compass Operations Dashboard
Monitor and manage your environment. Toggle flows on/off, manage plugin steps, edit environment variables, check business rules — all from one screen.
Best Practice Analysis
12 built-in rules check for deprecated features, hardcoded GUIDs, missing error handling, poor naming, and more. Get a prioritized list of issues with recommendations.
User Guide Generation
Complete user guides for your model-driven apps, assembled from the crawl - tables, automations, custom APIs, plugin assemblies, integrations and a glossary. Export as Markdown.
Reports and Exports
A report for any crawled solution, with a breakdown by component type, every summary, and any best practice issues. Export the underlying data as CSV, JSON, Excel or Word.
