PL-900 Practice Test 36 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A manager wants to create an app without writing any code. Which Power Apps type should they use?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app from a template. Canvas apps from templates allow users to create apps without writing any code by selecting a pre-built template and customizing it. Option A (Power BI) is a business analytics tool, not for app creation. Option B (Model-driven app) also allows no-code development but is more structured and less template-driven; the question specifically mentions 'from a template', making canvas app the best answer. Option C (Power Automate) is for automating workflows, not building apps.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Model-driven app

Answer

Power Automate

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Apps canvas app uses the Filter function as shown. What does this expression do?

Accepted Answer

Returns all records from array1 where Status is 'Active'. The Filter function in Power Apps returns a table of records that meet the specified condition. In this expression, Filter(array1, Status = "Active") evaluates each record in array1 and includes only those where the Status column equals 'Active'. This is correct because Filter always returns all matching records, not just the first one.

Answer

Returns the first record from array1 with Status 'Active'

Answer

Sorts array1 by Status in ascending order

Answer

Searches array1 for the text 'Active' in any column

Question 6

A team is building a customer service solution using Power Apps and Dataverse. They need to ensure that customer data is synchronized with Dynamics 365 Customer Service. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use Dataverse as the data store and connect both Power Apps and Dynamics 365 to it. Using Dataverse as the common data store and connecting both Power Apps and Dynamics 365 to it ensures real-time synchronization. Direct integration via custom APIs is possible but not best practice. Power Automate flows can also sync, but Dataverse is the recommended approach for Dynamics 365.

Answer

Build a custom connector to transfer data between Power Apps and Dynamics 365

Answer

Implement a third-party middleware solution

Answer

Export data from Dynamics 365 and import it into Power Apps periodically

Question 7

You need to create a Power Pages site that displays real-time data from an external API. The solution must minimize latency and avoid exposing API keys on the client side. Which approach should you use?

Accepted Answer

Use a Liquid template to fetch data server-side. Power Pages Liquid templates can call external APIs server-side, hiding API keys. Option B is wrong because JavaScript exposes keys. Option C is wrong because Power Automate adds latency. Option D is wrong because custom connectors are for Power Apps, not Power Pages.

Answer

Use JavaScript in a web template to call the API directly

Answer

Call a Power Automate flow from the page

Answer

Use a Power Apps custom connector

Question 8

A Power Automate flow uses the 'Parse JSON' action to process incoming webhook data. The flow fails with the error 'Invalid JSON' when the webhook sends data. You review the sample payload used to generate the schema and notice the webhook sometimes includes additional optional fields. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The generated schema does not account for all possible fields.. The 'Parse JSON' action uses a schema generated from a sample payload. If the sample did not include optional fields that the webhook sometimes sends, those fields are not defined in the schema, causing the action to fail with 'Invalid JSON'. Option B is incorrect because the flow receives the data before parsing; the issue is with the schema, not timing. Option C is incorrect because the webhook is sending valid JSON—the error occurs only when the JSON contains fields not in the schema. Option D is incorrect because a missing nested object would cause a different error related to missing property, not 'Invalid JSON'.

Answer

The flow is trying to parse the JSON before receiving it.

Answer

The webhook is not sending a valid JSON payload.

Answer

The JSON contains a nested object that is not defined.

Question 9

A customer interacts with a Microsoft Copilot Studio bot and says, "I want to check order status." The bot responds with "Please provide your order number." The customer then types their order number, but the bot does not proceed. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The order number entity is not recognized or extracted from the user's input.. The bot fails to proceed because it cannot extract the order number entity from the user's input. In Microsoft Copilot Studio, entities are used to identify and capture specific data types (like order numbers) from user utterances. If the entity is not configured, not trained, or the user's input format doesn't match the entity pattern, the bot will not recognize the order number and cannot pass it to the next topic or action, causing the conversation to stall.

Answer

The bot is stuck in the Fallback topic.

Answer

The trigger phrase does not match exactly.

Answer

The "Redirect to Order Lookup topic" action is placed before the message actions.

Question 10

A company wants to build a Power App that uses AI to extract information from uploaded invoices. Which capability should they use?

Accepted Answer

AI Builder invoice processing model. I Builder invoice processing model. AI Builder provides a prebuilt model specifically for extracting information from invoices. Option A (Power Automate with OCR actions) can be used but is not a dedicated AI capability for invoice processing. Option C (Power Virtual Agents) is for chatbots, and Option D (Copilot Studio) is for custom copilots, neither of which is designed for invoice data extraction.

Answer

Power Automate with OCR actions

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Copilot Studio

Question 11

A multinational corporation uses Power Platform extensively. They have multiple environments: DEV, TEST, UAT, STAGING, and PROD. A developer accidentally published a Power App that connects to a SQL Server database using an unapproved connector in the PROD environment. The organization has strict data governance policies that require all connections to use approved connectors only. The admin needs to block this connector in PROD while still allowing it in other environments. What should the admin do?

Accepted Answer

Create an environment-level DLP policy for PROD that blocks the connector.. Environment-level DLP policies allow blocking connectors in specific environments. The admin should create an environment-level DLP policy for PROD that blocks the unapproved connector. This overrides the tenant-level policy that might allow it elsewhere.

Answer

Create a tenant-level DLP policy that blocks the connector for all environments.

Answer

Remove the developer's permissions to the PROD environment.

Answer

Delete the Power App from PROD.

Question 12

A company uses Microsoft Power Platform and requires that all environment creation requests go through an approval process. The security team wants to prevent non-admins from creating trial environments. What should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

In Power Platform Admin Center, set 'Disable trial environments created by non-admins' to Yes. The Power Platform Admin Center provides a dedicated tenant-level setting called 'Disable trial environments created by non-admins' that, when set to 'Yes', prevents users without administrative privileges from creating trial environments. This directly addresses the security team's requirement to block non-admins from creating trial environments, as it enforces an approval-based control at the environment creation level.

Answer

Assign users to an environment group with restricted permissions

Answer

In Power Apps settings, disable 'Allow users to create environments'

Answer

Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that blocks trial environments

Question 13

Which THREE components are part of the Microsoft Power Platform? (Select THREE)

Accepted Answer

Power Apps. Power Apps is a core component of the Microsoft Power Platform that enables users to build custom business applications with low-code or no-code development. It integrates directly with other platform components like Power Automate and Power BI, and connects to hundreds of data sources via connectors, making it essential for rapid app creation.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Pages

Question 14

An administrator needs to prevent users from creating Power Apps outside of the approved environment (Production). The company has a Development and a Production environment. Users should only be able to create apps in Development. Which configuration should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Assign the Environment Maker role to users only in the Development environment. The Environment Maker role grants permission to create apps within a specific environment. By assigning this role only to the Development environment, users can create apps there but are blocked from creating them in Production, where they lack the role. This directly enforces the requirement without affecting other permissions.

Answer

Assign the Environment Maker role to users in both environments

Answer

Create a DLP policy that blocks app creation in Production

Answer

Remove the Environment Maker role from all users in all environments

Question 15
