Entity Explorer

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to analyse and export the table metadata properties as well as the row count for each table (developed by Chris Vitacek).

When there is a requirement to document the metadata of 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 view required metadata in one view and export the metadata for all tables at once, you can use this tool to load the table metadata, select the required metadata properties and export it to Excel.
