PL-900 Practice Test 29 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A sales team uses Power BI dashboards to track quarterly revenue. They notice that the data in the dashboard is not updating as expected. The data source is a SharePoint list. What should the administrator check first?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Check the scheduled refresh settings in the Power BI dataset.. Power BI datasets connected to SharePoint lists require a scheduled refresh to update the dashboard with the latest data from the list. If the refresh is not configured or fails, the dashboard will display stale data. The administrator should first check the scheduled refresh settings in the Power BI service to ensure it is enabled and running successfully.

Answer

Install the on-premises data gateway.

Answer

Verify that all sales team members have edit permissions on the SharePoint list.

Answer

Ensure that the SharePoint list has no hidden columns.

Question 2

A Power Platform admin needs to ensure that all environments have a backup policy that automatically creates backups every 24 hours. What is the default backup frequency for Dataverse environments?

Accepted Answer

Every 24 hours. The default backup frequency for Dataverse environments is every 24 hours, which ensures automatic system backups are created daily without requiring manual configuration. This policy applies to all environments, including trial and production, unless a custom backup schedule is explicitly set by an administrator.

Answer

Only for paid environments, there is no default schedule.

Answer

Every 12 hours

Answer

Every 48 hours

Question 3

An organization is preparing for a Power Platform rollout. They need to ensure that only licensed users can create new environments, and that environment creation is audited. Additionally, they want to restrict which connectors can be used in production environments. Which THREE capabilities should they use?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies allow administrators to block or restrict specific connectors (e.g., HTTP, custom connectors) in production environments, ensuring sensitive data is not exposed through unauthorized integrations. This directly addresses the requirement to restrict which connectors can be used in production environments.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents bot

Answer

Power Apps mobile app

Question 4

You need to create a Power Automate flow that sends a daily digest email to the sales team summarizing new leads from the previous day. The flow should run automatically every morning at 8 AM. Which type of trigger should you use?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence. Recurrence. This trigger runs the flow on a scheduled basis, such as every day at 8 AM, making it ideal for the daily digest email. Option A (Button trigger) requires manual activation, so it cannot run automatically. Option B (When a new email arrives) triggers on email reception, not time. Option D (When a new tweet is posted) triggers on social media activity, not a daily schedule.

Answer

Button trigger

Answer

When a new email arrives

Answer

When a new tweet is posted

Question 5

A marketing department wants to create a dashboard that shows real-time social media sentiment analysis. Which Power Platform tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct tool because it is designed for data visualization and real-time analytics, including the ability to connect to social media APIs (e.g., Twitter, Facebook) via built-in connectors or custom streaming datasets to display sentiment analysis dashboards. It supports real-time data refresh through DirectQuery or streaming datasets, making it ideal for monitoring live social media sentiment.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Copilot Studio

Question 6

A company wants to build a Power Pages site that allows external partners to submit project proposals. The proposals should be stored in Dataverse. What is the first step to create the necessary data structure?

Accepted Answer

Create a custom table in Dataverse. Power Pages sites store data in Dataverse, so the first step is to create the custom table (entity) in Dataverse that will hold the project proposals. Once the table exists, you can build forms, views, and permissions in Power Pages that bind to it. Creating the data structure precedes any flow, list, or file-based storage.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow to collect data

Answer

Create a SharePoint list

Answer

Create an Excel file in OneDrive

Question 7

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow runs hourly to retrieve new accounts from Dataverse. However, it sometimes misses records created at the exact hour boundary. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The flow runs on a schedule, not triggered by record creation, so it may miss records created between runs.. The flow is configured to run on a recurring schedule (e.g., every hour), not as an instant trigger on record creation. When a record is created at the exact boundary between two scheduled runs, it may not be captured by the previous run (which already completed) and may not yet exist when the next run begins, especially if the flow uses a filter query based on a timestamp. This is a classic limitation of scheduled polling compared to event-driven triggers like 'When a row is added, modified, or deleted' in Dataverse.

Answer

The accounts table has a security filter that hides records from the flow owner.

Answer

The API connection to Dataverse is not authenticated properly.

Answer

The filter query uses utcNow() which may not be precise across time zones.

Question 8

A company has a Power Apps model-driven app for sales. Sales reps need to see their assigned leads only. Which security feature should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Assign security roles that filter leads by owner. Security roles with 'User' access level on the Lead entity filter records so that users see only records they own. This is the appropriate method to restrict leads by assigned owner in a model-driven app. Option B is incorrect because field-level security controls read/write permissions on a specific field (like 'Assigned To'), not which records are visible. It does not filter the list of records. Option A is incorrect because business unit security isolates data at the business unit level, not per user. Option D is incorrect because sharing the app grants access to the app but does not filter the underlying data.

Answer

Configure business unit security to isolate each rep's data

Answer

Use field-level security to set permissions on the 'Assigned To' field

Answer

Share the app with each rep individually

Question 9

A power user is designing a canvas app for inventory management. The app has a gallery that displays products. The user wants to filter the gallery to show only products with stock less than 10. Which formula should the user use in the Items property of the gallery?

Accepted Answer

Filter(Products, Stock < 10). The Filter function in Power Apps applies a condition to show only records where Stock < 10. Option A is wrong because LookUp returns a single record, not a filtered collection. Option C is wrong because Sort changes the order but does not filter. Option D is wrong because Search is for text search, not numeric comparison.

Answer

LookUp(Products, Stock < 10)

Answer

Sort(Products, Stock)

Answer

Search(Products, "10", "Stock")

Question 10

A government agency needs to modernize a paper-based permit approval process. The solution must enforce strict access control, provide an audit trail, and allow citizens to submit applications online. The agency uses Microsoft 365 and has a Power Platform license. Which approach should they take?

Accepted Answer

Use Power Pages for citizen submissions, Dataverse for storage, and Power Automate for approvals. It combines Power Pages for external citizen-facing submission portals, Dataverse for secure, auditable data storage with role-based access control, and Power Automate for automated approval workflows. This architecture meets all requirements: strict access control (Dataverse roles), audit trail (Dataverse change tracking and auditing), and online citizen submissions (Power Pages).

Answer

Use Power Automate with AI Builder to process paper forms and store in SharePoint

Answer

Build a Power Apps model-driven app for internal staff and a canvas app for citizens

Answer

Use Power BI to create a dashboard and Power Automate for approvals

Question 11

The exhibit shows a DLP policy configuration for a Power Platform environment. Which connector is allowed for business use?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint. SharePoint is classified as 'Business' in the DLP policy because it is a Microsoft-owned enterprise service that supports data loss prevention (DLP) actions like blocking, monitoring, or restricting data flow. The exhibit shows SharePoint under the 'Business' data group, meaning it is allowed for business use without triggering policy violations. In contrast, Outlook, Twitter, and Facebook are placed in the 'Non-Business' group, which blocks their connectors from being used in apps and flows within this environment.

Answer

Outlook

Answer

Twitter

Answer

Facebook

Question 12

Drag and drop the steps to deploy a solution from a development environment to a production environment in Power Platform in the correct order.

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Add components, Step 3: Export the solution, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.. Solutions are created, components added, exported, imported, and then published.

Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Export the solution, Step 3: Add components, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Answer

Step 1: Add components, Step 2: Create a solution, Step 3: Export the solution, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Add components, Step 3: Import the solution, Step 4: Export the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Question 13

A company is designing a Power Apps canvas app for inventory management. They want to allow managers to approve or reject requests directly from their mobile devices. Which control should be used to collect the manager's decision?

Accepted Answer

Radio control. A Radio control allows selecting one option from a set, ideal for Approve/Reject decisions. Option D is correct because a Radio control presents mutually exclusive choices clearly on mobile. Option A is wrong because a Drop down requires an extra tap to expand, less intuitive for two options. Option B is wrong because a Checkbox is typically for binary yes/no but is not as clear for a single choice among two. Option C is wrong because a Text input requires typing, which is inefficient for a simple approval decision.

Answer

Drop down control

Answer

Checkbox control

Answer

Text input control

Question 14

Which TWO data sources can be directly connected to a canvas app without using an on-premises data gateway?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint Online. Option C (SharePoint Online) is correct because it is a cloud-based Microsoft 365 service that canvas apps connect to directly through the built-in SharePoint connector, with no on-premises data gateway required. Option E (Microsoft Dataverse) is correct because it is a native cloud data platform in Power Platform, and canvas apps use the standard Dataverse connector to access it directly without a gateway. Options A (SQL Server on-premises), B (SAP ERP on-premises), and D (Oracle database on-premises) are all on-premises systems, so reaching them from a canvas app requires an on-premises data gateway to bridge the cloud service to the local network.

Answer

SQL Server on-premises

Answer

SAP ERP on-premises

Answer

Oracle database on-premises

Question 15

You are designing a Power Pages site that requires users to reset their own passwords. The site uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. Which configuration is necessary?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Password reset' user flow in Azure AD B2C. Azure AD B2C provides a 'Password reset' user flow that allows users to reset their own passwords. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: a custom identity provider may not support password reset natively and is unnecessary; Dataverse is a data storage layer and does not handle authentication; Microsoft Entra ID self-service password reset is intended for organizational accounts, not for external B2C users.

Answer

Add a custom identity provider that supports password reset

Answer

Enable password reset in Dataverse

Answer

Configure Microsoft Entra ID self-service password reset
