Attribute Explorer
This XrmToolBox tool allows you to analyse the column metadata properties (developed by
Chris Vitacek).
When there is a requirement to document the metadata of all columns in all tables, Entity Metadata Browser managed solution tool from Microsoft can only show the metadata by each table but there is no export functionality.
To export the metadata of all columns of all tables at once, you can use
this tool to load the column metadata, select the required metadata properties and export to Excel.
