PL-900 Practice Test 48 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A Power Pages site is experiencing slow load times because it loads all records from a large Dataverse table. The site uses a list component to display data. What is the most effective way to improve performance without custom code?

Accepted Answer

Add a FetchXML filter to the list to load only the necessary records.. Power Pages list components can use FetchXML to filter data server-side, reducing data transfer. Paging in the browser still loads all data if not filtered. OData filters are less efficient. Caching is not a standard feature.

Answer

Use an OData query parameter to limit the number of records.

Answer

Enable client-side caching in the site settings.

Answer

Implement server-side paging by setting the 'Page Size' property in the list configuration.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Pages site configuration snippet shows authentication settings. What does this configuration achieve?

Accepted Answer

Users sign in with their Microsoft Entra ID accounts.. The configuration sets Microsoft Entra ID as the authentication provider, meaning users will sign in using their Entra ID credentials. It does not enable local authentication or anonymous access, and it does not require multi-factor authentication.

Answer

Multi-factor authentication is enforced.

Answer

Anonymous access is allowed for all users.

Answer

Users authenticate using local credentials stored in Dataverse.

Question 3

A marketing team wants to allow external users to register on a Power Pages site using their own social media accounts. Which identity provider should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Azure AD B2C. Option B is correct because Azure AD B2C supports social identity providers. Option A is wrong because Microsoft Entra ID is for organizational accounts. Option C is wrong because local authentication is for username/password within the site. Option D is wrong because Power Pages does not have a built-in identity provider for social accounts.

Answer

Local authentication

Answer

Microsoft Entra ID

Answer

Microsoft account

Question 4

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Pages site has the above site settings. What behavior will users experience?

Accepted Answer

Users can register but must use an external identity provider. Option A is correct because local login is disallowed and external login is required. Option B is wrong because registration is enabled. Option C is wrong because local login is not allowed. Option D is wrong because external login is required, but registration is enabled.

Answer

Users can register with a local account

Answer

Users cannot register at all

Answer

Users must use Microsoft Entra ID to sign in

Question 5

A Power Pages site uses a custom Liquid template to display a list of upcoming events. The events are stored in a Dataverse table with a date field. The template should only show events that occur in the future. Which Liquid filter or condition is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Use an 'if' condition inside the 'for' loop to compare event date to current date.. Liquid does not have a built-in date comparison filter like 'where_exp'. Instead, you can use the `assign` tag to get the current date and then use an `if` condition inside a `for` loop to compare the event date to the current date. Option A is incorrect because `where` filter does not support dynamic date comparison. Option C is incorrect because `date` filter is for formatting, not filtering. Option D is incorrect because `group_by` is for grouping, not filtering.

Answer

Use the 'where' filter with a date comparison.

Answer

Use the 'date' filter to format dates and then compare strings.

Answer

Use the 'group_by' filter to group events by date and then select future ones.

Question 6

A marketing team wants to create a Power Pages site to allow external users to register for events. They need users to be able to sign in with their social media accounts. Which identity provider should they configure in Power Pages?

Accepted Answer

Facebook or Google. Option D is correct because Power Pages supports social identity providers like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Options A and C are wrong because they are not social identity providers. Option B is wrong because Azure B2C can be configured but is not a social identity provider itself; the question asks for a social media account provider.

Answer

Microsoft Entra ID

Answer

Windows Server Active Directory

Answer

Azure Active Directory B2C

Question 7

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Pages site has a web role called 'Partner' with permissions to read the Proposal table and read/write the Invoice table. A user assigned the Partner role attempts to create a new record in the Proposal table. What will happen?

Accepted Answer

The user is denied access because the Partner role has only Read permission on the Proposal table. Option B is correct because the Partner role only has Read permission on the Proposal table, so create (Write) is not allowed. Option A is wrong because the role exists. Option C is wrong because the write is not allowed on Proposal. Option D is wrong because there is no global permission that would override this.

Answer

The user is denied access because the Partner role does not exist

Answer

The user is allowed to create the record because the Partner role implicitly includes Write on all tables

Answer

The user is allowed to create the record because Write permission is granted on the Invoice table

Question 8

A Power Pages site must display a chart showing monthly sales data from Dataverse. The chart should update automatically when new data is added. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Embed a Power BI report that connects to Dataverse.. Power Pages can embed Power BI reports, which can refresh automatically. Using a list with a chart is limited to basic charts and may not auto-refresh. Custom JavaScript is complex and unreliable. Excel export is static.

Answer

Write custom JavaScript using the Chart.js library.

Answer

Use a list component with a chart visualization.

Answer

Export data to Excel and display as an image.

Question 9

A company wants to build a public-facing website that allows external users to register and submit support tickets. The site must integrate with Dataverse and support custom workflows. Which Power Platform component should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Pages. Power Pages is designed for external-facing websites with low-code capabilities and seamless Dataverse integration.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Apps portal

Question 10

Which THREE elements are required to create a multilingual Power Pages site?

Accepted Answer

Website language settings configured in Power Pages. Options A, B, and E are correct. Content snippets (A) store translated text, language packs (B) enable multiple languages, and website language settings (E) define the available languages. Option C is wrong because Dataverse table translations are optional for multilingual data, not required for the site itself. Option D is wrong because Power Automate flows are not required for multilingual support.

Answer

Power Automate flows for language detection

Answer

Dataverse table translations for multilingual data

Question 11

Which tool is used to create and manage a Power Pages site from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Power Pages design studio. Option C is correct because Power Pages design studio is the primary tool. Option A is wrong because Power Apps maker portal is for apps. Option B is wrong because Power Automate is for automation. Option D is wrong because Visual Studio Code is not the primary tool.

Answer

Power Apps maker portal

Answer

Visual Studio Code with Power Platform extension

Answer

Power Automate portal

Question 12

A Power Pages site displays a list of support cases from a Dataverse 'Case' table. The requirement is that a case should only be visible to the user who created it. Which configuration should be used?

Accepted Answer

Column-level permissions. Column-level permissions in Power Pages allow you to set read permissions on specific columns based on the record owner. By setting read permission on the case title column to only the record owner, you can hide the case from other users. Option A is incorrect because page permissions control page access, not record-level data. Option B is incorrect because entity permissions define general access (create, read, write, delete) but not owner-based filtering. Option D is incorrect because web roles define groups of users, not data filtering.

Answer

Page permissions

Answer

Entity permissions

Answer

Web roles

Question 13

A Power Pages site is experiencing slow load times for authenticated users. The site has many pages with complex Liquid templates and multiple data lookups. What is the most effective first step to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Enable website caching for authenticated users in the site settings. Option B is correct because enabling website caching for authenticated users reduces server-side processing and database calls. Option A is wrong because removing Liquid templates is not practical. Option C is wrong because Web API calls are not a standard performance feature. Option D is wrong because disabling authentication is not a solution.

Answer

Use the Power Pages Web API to fetch data instead of Liquid lookups

Answer

Disable authentication to reduce overhead

Answer

Remove all Liquid template code and replace with static HTML

Question 14

Which TWO authentication providers can be configured natively in Power Pages for external user access without custom development?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Entra ID. Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft account are built-in providers.

Answer

Google

Answer

Answer

Facebook

Question 15

A Power Pages site is experiencing slow page loads. The site uses many custom Liquid templates and multiple web API calls per page. Which design change would most improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Use client-side JavaScript to fetch data asynchronously. Option A is correct because reducing server-side processing by moving logic to client-side (JavaScript) reduces page load time. Option B is wrong because increasing CDN caching only helps static content. Option C is wrong because disabling caching would worsen performance. Option D is wrong because adding more web API calls increases load.

Answer

Add more web API calls to fetch data in parallel

Answer

Increase the CDN cache duration for all pages

Answer

Disable page caching to ensure fresh data
