Schema Browser

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to view the list of tables and column metadata of the selected table with metadata information (developed by Christopher Judd).

With the out-of-the-box solution explorer, we cannot open the table schema details of the related table from the lookup column schema page.

To query and browser the schema details of the columns, you can use this tool to traverse entity links and retrieve tables of data from individual records.
