Accepted Answer

Use a SharePoint list as the data source and a Canvas app. Option A is correct because SharePoint lists are easy to set up, no extra licensing, and can be used with Canvas apps. Option B is wrong because Dataverse requires additional licensing. Option C is wrong because SQL Server requires infrastructure. Option D is wrong because Excel is not suitable for multi-user concurrent access.

Question 2

A company uses Microsoft Power Apps to build a leave request application. The app uses SharePoint as the data source. Users report that when they submit a leave request, the app sometimes fails to save the data and shows a generic error. Which should you investigate first?

Accepted Answer

Verify the connection to the SharePoint data source.. Option C is correct because generic errors in Power Apps often stem from data source connection issues, such as network interruptions or permissions. Option A is wrong because delegation issues cause data retrieval problems, not save failures. Option B is wrong because formula errors typically show specific errors, not generic ones. Option D is wrong because browser issues affect app loading, not data submission.

Answer

Clear the browser cache and cookies.

Answer

Check if the app uses delegation for large lists.

Answer

Review the app formulas for syntax errors.

Question 3

Model-driven apps are responsive (A), have built-in business process flows (B), and automatically generate forms from Dataverse (C). D is wrong because drag-and-drop layout is a canvas app feature. E is wrong because model-driven apps are not customizable in the same way as canvas apps.

Answer

Answer

Full control over pixel-perfect design

Question 4

A company uses Power Apps to manage expense reports. Employees submit expense reports via a canvas app that writes to a Dataverse table. Managers need to approve or reject expenses.

B) Use Power Automate with the 'Start and wait for an approval' action. C) Create a business rule in Dataverse to send email. D) Use Power BI to notify managers.

Accepted Answer

Use Power Automate with the 'Start and wait for an approval' action.. Option B is correct because Power Automate provides built-in approval actions. Option A: The Approval connector works with Power Automate, not directly in canvas apps. Option C: Business rules cannot initiate approval workflows. Option D: Power BI is for analytics, not workflow.

Answer

Use Power BI to notify managers.

Answer

Add an approval step in the canvas app using the 'Approval' connector.

Question 5

An app maker creates a canvas app that uses Microsoft Dataverse as the data source. The app includes a gallery that displays all accounts. The app maker wants to filter the gallery to show only accounts where the 'City' field equals 'Seattle'. Which formula should be used in the Items property of the gallery?

Accepted Answer

Filter(Accounts, City = "Seattle"). Option C is correct because the Filter function filters records based on a condition. Option A is wrong because LookUp returns a single record, not a collection. Option B is wrong because Search is for string matching across multiple fields. Option D is wrong because the syntax is incorrect: the condition should be City = "Seattle".

Answer

Accounts(City = "Seattle")

Answer

LookUp(Accounts, City = "Seattle")

Answer

Search(Accounts, "Seattle", "City")

Question 6

A company uses a model-driven app to manage IT support tickets. The app includes a timeline control to track activities. Recently, users noticed that emails sent from the app are not appearing in the timeline. The email activity is configured correctly. What could be the issue?

Accepted Answer

Server-side synchronization is not configured to track sent emails.. Option D is correct because server-side synchronization must be configured to track emails sent from the app; otherwise, they may not appear in the timeline. Option A is wrong because auto-track in Outlook is for incoming emails. Option B is wrong because the timeline control itself does not need configuration. Option C is wrong because Exchange integration is required but the specific setting is server-side sync.

Answer

The email is sent from a shared mailbox.

Answer

The 'Auto-track' setting in Outlook is disabled.

Answer

The timeline control is not added to the form.

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit. The following JSON shows a Power Apps component (canvas app) manifest snippet:

{
  "properties": {
    "dataSources": [
      {
        "name": "SalesData",
        "type": "Microsoft Dataverse",
        "entity": "accounts"
      }
    ],
    "screens": [
      {
        "name": "MainScreen",
        "controls": [
          {
            "name": "AccountGallery",
            "type": "Gallery",
            "items": "Filter(SalesData, status = 'Active')"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

What is the data source for the gallery named AccountGallery?

Accepted Answer

The filtered Dataverse Accounts data source. Option B is correct because the gallery's Items property uses Filter(SalesData, ...), and SalesData is defined as a Dataverse entity 'accounts'. Option A is wrong because the gallery uses a filtered set, not the raw entity. Option C is wrong because the data source is Dataverse, not SharePoint. Option D is wrong because SQL Server is not referenced.

Answer

A SQL Server table named Accounts

Answer

A SharePoint list named SalesData

Answer

The raw Dataverse Accounts entity

Question 14

You are building a model-driven app for a healthcare organization to manage patient appointments. The app uses a Dataverse table 'Appointments' with columns: Patient (lookup to Contact), Doctor (lookup to User), AppointmentDate, Status (Scheduled, Completed, Cancelled). You need to ensure that doctors cannot view appointments of other doctors. Doctors belong to a security role 'Doctor'. Which approach should you use? A) Create a team with all doctors and share the app with the team. B) Configure field-level security to hide the Doctor field. C) Use hierarchy security to limit access based on the Doctor field. D) Create a custom role with record-level security and configure sharing to only allow doctors to see their own appointments.

Accepted Answer

Create a custom role with record-level security and configure sharing to only allow doctors to see their own appointments.. Option D is correct because record-level security can be configured to restrict access to records where the doctor is the owner or related user. Option A: Sharing the app does not restrict data visibility. Option B: Field-level security hides fields but does not filter records. Option C: Hierarchy security is for manager-subordinate relationships, not for this scenario.

Answer

Configure field-level security to hide the Doctor field.

Answer

Create a team with all doctors and share the app with the team.

Answer

Use hierarchy security to limit access based on the Doctor field.
