PL-900 Practice Test 35 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A model-driven app uses a custom button that runs a Power Automate flow to send an email notification. Users report that the button sometimes does not appear on the command bar. The app maker checks the form customizations and confirms the button is configured correctly. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The custom button is configured with visibility rules that hide it for certain security roles.. Option B is correct because custom commands can be hidden based on security roles using modern command bar customization. Option A is wrong because browser compatibility does not affect button visibility for modern apps. Option C is wrong because flow permissions affect execution, not button visibility. Option D is wrong because form factors are not the issue if the button is configured for all form factors.

Answer

The user's browser does not support the Power Apps client.

Answer

The app is opened in the phone form factor, and the button is only shown on web.

Answer

The Power Automate flow is disabled or not shared with the user.

Question 2

An organization has a canvas app that uses a SharePoint list as its data source. Users report that the app loads slowly and sometimes times out. The developer needs to improve performance. Which approach should the developer take?

Accepted Answer

Use delegable queries to filter data at the source. Option B is correct because delegating data operations to the data source reduces the amount of data retrieved and processed client-side, improving performance. Option A is wrong because increasing timeouts does not address the root cause. Option C is wrong because splitting into multiple screens may help but does not solve delegation issues. Option D is wrong because using SQL Server might help but is not a direct solution; the question is about improving performance without changing data source.

Answer

Increase the timeout setting in the app settings

Answer

Migrate the data source to SQL Server to improve performance

Answer

Split the app into multiple screens to reduce load per screen

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Store times in UTC and let Power Apps handle conversion automatically. Option C is correct because Power Apps automatically converts UTC to the user's time zone based on their browser/device settings. Option A is wrong because manual conversion is error-prone. Option B is wrong because storing in local time causes confusion. Option D is unnecessary.

Answer

Convert UTC to each time zone using Power Fx formulas

Answer

Option A is wrong because business rules are for validation and show/hide logic. Option B is wrong because the form editor is for form layout, not buttons.
