What is Oliver4?
A small set of focused developer tools for Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Dataverse. Each tool solves one specific problem, is documented on its own page, and can be downloaded directly from this site.
Many useful Dynamics 365 development utilities are exactly this kind of small, targeted tool. Oliver4 aims to provide practical tools for these situations without requiring a commercial product or subscription.
Oliver4 is an independent project. The tools are not produced, endorsed, sponsored or supported by Microsoft, and Oliver4 has no affiliation with Microsoft.
Microsoft, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Power Apps, Dataverse and Microsoft Edge are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies. They are used on this site only to describe the products the tools work with.
