In Dynamics 365/ Dataverse, business rules are used to apply logic and automation to form fields and data within the system. The scope of a business rule refers to the extent to which the rule applies within the Dynamics 365 or Dataverse environment.

There are three main aspects to consider regarding the scope of a business rule:

Entity Scope

In this scope, The Business Rule will run on the server side, and you do not have to be on a Form for the Business Rule to run. it also applied to Client Side when you use Forms to interact with Data. If you want to run your Business Rule for all below scenarios then this scope is used. The scenarios given below.

All Forms – Client Side in browser
All Server Side Codes – Plugins, Custom Workflows, Console etc.
All Third Party Apps

All Forms Scope
