PL-900 Practice Test 35 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A sales team wants to track their deals in a shared workspace without using Excel. They need a solution that can be customized quickly and accessed from mobile devices. Which Power Platform component should you recommend?

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

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Lists. Microsoft Lists is the correct recommendation because it is a shared workspace specifically designed for tracking information like deals. It is highly customizable with columns, views, and rules, and is accessible from mobile devices through the Microsoft Lists mobile app. While it is not a core Power Platform service, it is often integrated with Power Platform solutions and is the best fit for the described scenario. Power Automate is for workflows, not for providing a shared workspace.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Question 2

You need to automatically send an email notification when a new file is added to a SharePoint document library. Which trigger should you use in a Power Automate cloud flow?

Accepted Answer

When a file is created. The 'When a file is created' trigger is designed to start a flow when a new file appears in a SharePoint library. Option A is wrong because 'When a file is deleted' triggers on file removal, not creation. Option B is wrong because 'When a file is modified' triggers on updates, not new files. Option D is wrong because 'When a file is created or modified' includes modification events, which are not required for the specified requirement.

Answer

When a file is deleted

Answer

When a file is modified

Answer

When a file is created or modified

Question 3

The exhibit shows a trigger definition for a Power Automate flow. What does this trigger do?

Accepted Answer

Triggers when a .xlsx file is created in the 'Incoming' folder.. The trigger is configured for file creation in the 'Incoming' folder with a condition that checks the file extension is .xlsx, so it only fires when an Excel file is created. Option A is wrong because the trigger filters for .xlsx files, not .csv files. Option B is wrong because the trigger does not fire for any file; it only fires for .xlsx files. Option C is wrong because the trigger is for file creation, not modification.

Answer

Triggers when a .csv file is created in the 'Incoming' folder.

Answer

Triggers when any file is created in the 'Incoming' folder.

Answer

Triggers when a file is modified in the 'Incoming' folder.

Question 4

A company wants to create a Power Pages site for employees to view internal policies. The site must only be accessible to users inside the corporate network. Which authentication method should they use?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Entra ID integrated authentication. Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) integrated authentication allows restricting access to users from a specific corporate tenant and can be configured to require access from corporate network IP ranges. Option A is wrong because Azure AD B2C is designed for external customer identities, not internal corporate users. Option C is wrong because local authentication (username/password) is intended for external users and does not integrate with corporate network restrictions. Option D is wrong because anonymous access allows anyone to access the site, which contradicts the requirement of restricting to corporate network users.

Answer

Azure AD B2C

Answer

Local authentication (username/password)

Answer

Anonymous access

Question 5

A business analyst wants to create a dashboard that displays real-time sales data from a SQL database and share it with the team. Which Power Platform component is best suited?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for data visualization and business intelligence, enabling real-time dashboards from SQL databases via DirectQuery or live connections. It allows sharing dashboards with the team through Power BI Service, meeting the requirement for real-time sales data display and collaboration.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Apps

Question 6

A Power Automate flow runs on a schedule and exports data from Microsoft Dataverse to a CSV file in SharePoint. Recently, the flow has been taking longer than expected and sometimes times out. Which approach should you take to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Enable pagination in the Dataverse 'List rows' action.. Enabling pagination in the Dataverse 'List rows' action allows the flow to retrieve more rows per API call, reducing the number of requests and improving throughput, which helps avoid timeouts when dealing with large datasets. Option B is incorrect because an on-premises data gateway is used for connecting to on-premises data sources, not for speeding up cloud-to-cloud data transfer. Option C is incorrect because reducing the schedule frequency does not address the performance issue; it only runs the flow less often, but the flow itself will still take too long when it runs. Option D is incorrect because increasing the action timeout setting only gives the flow more time to complete but does not improve performance; it may just delay the failure or mask the underlying issue.

Answer

Install an on-premises data gateway to speed up data transfer.

Answer

Reduce the schedule frequency to run less often.

Answer

Increase the action timeout setting in the flow.

Question 7

A Power Pages site uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. The marketing team wants to collect user consent for email communications during registration. Where should they add the consent checkbox?

Accepted Answer

In the Azure AD B2C user flow for sign-up. Customizing the Azure AD B2C user flow for sign-up allows adding attributes and UI elements like checkboxes during registration. Option A is wrong because content snippets are for text, not form fields. Option B is wrong because Site Settings do not include user interface customization. Option C is wrong because the Power Pages sign-in page template is limited and does not support adding custom form fields.

Answer

In a content snippet for the registration page

Answer

In the Site Settings under 'Authentication'

Answer

In the Power Pages sign-in page template

Question 8

A company uses a Power Platform environment that contains several production apps. They need to ensure that changes to these apps are reviewed and approved before deployment to the production environment. What should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Use managed solutions and Azure DevOps for application lifecycle management (ALM) with deployment gates.. Managed solutions and Azure DevOps with deployment gates provide a structured Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process. This allows changes to be reviewed, tested, and approved before deployment to a production environment, ensuring governance and control over modifications.

Answer

Create data loss prevention (DLP) policies for the production environment.

Answer

Assign the System Administrator role to all developers.

Answer

Configure Microsoft Purview to audit changes and require approval.

Question 9

A Power Pages site has a form that submits data to Dataverse. Users report that the form is slow to load because it contains many lookup fields. What is the best practice to improve form load performance?

Accepted Answer

Reduce the number of lookup fields on the form.. Reducing the number of lookup fields directly decreases the number of separate database queries and network round-trips required to load the form. Each lookup field in a Power Pages form triggers an individual request to Dataverse to retrieve the related record's display name and metadata, so fewer lookups means fewer requests and faster load times.

Answer

Disable the cascading lookup feature.

Answer

Enable client-side caching for lookups.

Answer

Add FetchXML filters to each lookup to limit results.

Question 10

A retail company uses Power Pages to host a customer portal where users can view their order history and return items. The portal uses Dataverse for data storage and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for authentication. The company wants to add a chatbot on the portal to answer common questions about returns and shipping. The chatbot should be able to look up order details from Dataverse when the user is authenticated. You need to implement this with minimal custom development. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a chatbot in Microsoft Copilot Studio, connect it to Dataverse, and embed it into the Power Pages site using the chatbot component.. Microsoft Copilot Studio is the recommended low-code solution for creating chatbots that can be embedded directly into Power Pages. It supports Dataverse as a data source and respects existing Microsoft Entra ID authentication. This approach requires minimal custom development. Option C (QnA Maker) is deprecated and does not provide native Dataverse integration for dynamic data retrieval—it only handles static FAQ content. Option B (Power Apps and Power Automate) would require building a custom chat interface from scratch, significantly increasing complexity. Option D (Azure Bot Service with Bot Framework SDK) involves extensive development, which contradicts the requirement for minimal custom development.

Answer

Build a custom chat interface using Power Apps and Power Automate to respond to queries.

Answer

Use QnA Maker to create a knowledge base from FAQ documents and embed it as a web chat control.

Answer

Develop a custom Azure Bot Service bot using the Bot Framework SDK and integrate it with Dataverse.

Question 11

A Power Pages site needs to allow external users to register and create an account. The organization uses Microsoft Entra ID for internal employee authentication. Which identity provider should be configured for external user self-registration?

Accepted Answer

Local authentication. Local authentication in Power Pages allows external users to self-register with an email and password, which is stored in the portal's contact table. This is the standard approach for external self-registration. Option A (Microsoft Entra ID) is incorrect because it is primarily used for internal employee authentication, not for external self-registration. Option B (SAML 2.0) is an enterprise federation protocol designed for single sign-on with external identity providers, not for direct self-registration. Option C (OpenID Connect) is an authentication protocol, not an identity provider, and is typically used for SSO scenarios, not self-registration. Therefore, only local authentication supports built-in self-registration for external users.

Answer

Microsoft Entra ID

Answer

SAML 2.0

Answer

OpenID Connect

Question 12

Which TWO are common use cases for Power Automate?

Accepted Answer

Automating approval workflows. Power Automate is used for automating business processes and integrating apps. Building custom apps is Power Apps, creating dashboards is Power BI, and managing user identities is Microsoft Entra ID.

Answer

Creating interactive dashboards

Answer

Managing user access to Microsoft 365

Answer

Building custom mobile applications

Question 13

A software company uses Power Platform to build customer-facing portals. They have a dedicated production environment and a sandbox environment for development. The developer needs to copy the entire production environment (including all apps, flows, and data) to the sandbox environment for performance testing. The developer wants to ensure that the sandbox environment is an exact copy, including all data. What should the developer do?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'Copy environment' feature in the Power Platform Admin Center, selecting 'Full copy' including data.. The Power Platform Admin Center provides a 'Copy environment' feature that can copy both customizations and data from a production environment to a sandbox environment. This meets the requirement exactly.

Answer

Export the solutions from the production environment and import them into the sandbox environment.

Answer

Manually recreate the apps and flows in the sandbox and use the same data source.

Answer

Use Power Automate to copy all data from production to sandbox.

Question 14

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

Question 15

Your organization is a multi-national corporation using Microsoft Power Platform. The compliance team requires that all Power Apps apps be auditable: every data modification (create, update, delete) must be logged with the user, timestamp, and old/new values. Additionally, the app must enforce that only users from the same business unit can view each other's records. The app uses Dataverse as the data source. You need to design the solution. Which approach should you take?

Accepted Answer

Enable Dataverse auditing for the entity and configure business unit security to restrict access. Dataverse provides built-in auditing that logs data modifications (create, update, delete) with user, timestamp, and old/new values. Business unit security in Dataverse can restrict record visibility to users within the same business unit, meeting the compliance requirement. Option B is incorrect because hierarchy security is not designed for record visibility restrictions based on business units; business unit security is the appropriate feature. Option C is incorrect because while Power Automate can create custom logs, it is not a native auditing solution and adds unnecessary complexity; field-level security does not restrict record visibility but rather specific field access. Option D is incorrect because creating a separate audit table and using Power Automate for logging is redundant since Dataverse auditing already provides this capability.

Answer

Enable Dataverse auditing and use hierarchy security with business units

Answer

Use Power Automate to create custom logs and use field-level security to restrict visibility

Answer

Create a separate audit table and use Power Automate to write logs, and use role-based security
