To integrate tables created in Dataverse into Fabric Lakehouse on OneLake and have them show up as valid Shortcut options, what must you do first?

• A. Use the Link to Microsoft Fabric feature from the PowerApps maker portal.
• B. Enable Dataverse integration with Fabric through the Fabric admin portal.
• C. In the Fabric admin portal ensure M365 Dynamics environment is in the same tenant and region as your Fabric tenant.
• D. Develop a data pipeline to move the data into OneLake.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is to explicitly create a bridge between Dataverse and Fabric so the Dataverse tables appear as Fabric Shortcuts. Using the Link to Microsoft Fabric feature from the PowerApps maker portal establishes a Fabric Shortcut that points to a specific Dataverse table. Once this link is in place, the table shows up in Fabric Lakehouse on OneLake as a valid Shortcut option, with live data from Dataverse available without moving the data.

Other approaches don’t perform that bridge step: simply enabling integration in a Fabric admin portal doesn’t create the Shortcut itself; ensuring tenant and region alignment may be a deployment consideration but doesn’t by itself create a Shortcut; and building a data pipeline to move data into OneLake goes against the purpose of Shortcuts, which is to reference live data without duplicating it.
