 Number of custom Entities per org

 "With Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) there is a limit to the number of entities you can
create. You can find information about the maximum number in the Resources In
Use page for your deployment. If you need more custom entities, contact Microsoft
Dynamics 365 technical support."

 Number of custom Attributes per entity"

 Within each entity there is an upper limit on the number of fields you can create. This
limit is based on the technical limitations on the amount of data that can be stored in a
row of a database table. It is difficult to provide a specific number because each type of
field can use a different amount of space. The upper limit depends on the total space
used by all the fields for the entity."
