PL-900 Practice Test 48 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows a snippet of a DLP policy. Which effect will this policy have on a Power Automate flow that uses Google Sheets and Dropbox connectors?

Accepted Answer

The flow will be blocked because it uses blocked connectors.. The DLP policy in the exhibit defines a 'Blocked' connector group that includes both Google Sheets and Dropbox. In Power Automate, when a flow uses any connector listed in a blocked group, the flow is prevented from running. Since the flow uses both blocked connectors, it will be blocked entirely, regardless of whether they are used together or separately.

Answer

The flow will run but the connection references will be deleted.

Answer

The flow will be blocked only if it uses both connectors together.

Answer

The flow will run normally but will be restricted to the production environment only.

Question 2

A user reports that a canvas app is loading slowly. The app connects to a large SharePoint list with over 10,000 items. Which change would most improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Apply a delegable filter on the data source to limit records returned.. Applying a delegable filter on the data source limits the number of records retrieved to only those that match the filter, which significantly improves performance. Option A is incorrect because increasing the delegation limit does not help if the query itself is not delegable; the app will still retrieve all 10,000 items. Option C is wrong because adding more screens does not reduce the amount of data loaded. Option D is incorrect because disabling offline mode does not affect initial loading speed; it only impacts offline capabilities.

Answer

Increase the delegation limit to 10,000.

Answer

Add more screens to distribute the data.

Answer

Disable offline mode.

Question 3

A business analyst wants to create an app that uses a SharePoint list as its data source. They need to include conditional formatting to highlight overdue tasks. Which type of app should they use?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app. Canvas apps allow custom formulas for conditional formatting. Option A is wrong because Power Virtual Agents is for chatbots. Option B is wrong because model-driven apps use business rules but not flexible conditional formatting. Option D is wrong because Power BI is for analytics, not app creation.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents chatbot

Answer

Model-driven app

Answer

Power BI report

Question 4

An organization is building a model-driven app on Dataverse. They need to ensure that only managers can delete records, and all other users can only edit them. What should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Create custom security roles with different privileges for managers and others. Custom security roles allow you to define granular permissions for each user or team. By assigning a role with Delete privilege to managers and a role without Delete privilege (but with Write privilege) to other users, you can restrict deletion to managers only. Option A is incorrect because business rules run on the client side and cannot enforce server-side security; they are for business logic validation, not permission control. Option B is incorrect because Power Automate flows are designed for automation and may not reliably intercept all delete actions, plus they can be bypassed. Option C is incorrect because business process flows guide users through stages but do not control record-level permissions.

Answer

Add a business rule that checks user role before delete

Answer

Implement a Power Automate flow that cancels delete

Answer

Use a business process flow to restrict delete

Question 5

Which TWO are benefits of using model-driven apps over canvas apps for enterprise data management?

Accepted Answer

Responsive design that automatically adapts to screen size. Model-driven apps provide built-in role-based security and responsive design that adapts to screen size, making them ideal for enterprise data management. Option A is correct because model-driven apps automatically adapt to different devices without extra effort. Option E is correct because they inherit Dataverse role-based security. Option B is incorrect because offline capability is more commonly associated with canvas apps. Option C is incorrect because custom connectors are available in both app types. Option D is incorrect because canvas apps are better suited for complex formulas with Power Fx.

Answer

Ability to work offline on mobile devices

Answer

Support for custom connectors to external systems

Answer

Easier to create complex formulas and logic

Question 6

A company wants to restrict the ability to create Power Apps and Power Automate flows in the default environment to only a specific security group. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Assign the security group to the Environment Maker role for the default environment.. The recommended approach to restrict app and flow creation in the default environment is to assign only the desired security group to the Environment Maker role for that environment. The Environment Maker role grants permissions to create resources like Power Apps and Power Automate flows, and by assigning it exclusively to a security group, you effectively limit creation capabilities to members of that group while removing the role from all other users.

Answer

Create a DLP policy that blocks creation of apps and flows.

Answer

Disable the default environment and create a new one with restricted access.

Answer

Remove the Environment Maker role from all users and add the security group as co-admins.

Question 7

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.. Custom buttons in model-driven apps can have visibility rules based on security roles, which would hide the button for users without the appropriate role. Option A is incorrect because browser compatibility does not affect button visibility. Option B is incorrect because the button was configured for all form factors. Option D is incorrect because flow permissions affect the execution of the flow, not the visibility of the button.

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 8

A canvas app uses a gallery to display records from a SharePoint list. The app loads slowly because the gallery is set to load all items. The list contains 10,000 items. What is the most efficient way to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Add a search box and use a Delegation-compatible filter. Adding a search box with a Delegation-compatible filter allows Power Apps to push the filtering operation to the data source (SharePoint), retrieving only matching records instead of downloading all 10,000 items locally. This drastically improves performance. Option A is incorrect because the function is named `LoadData`, not `Variables.loadData`, and `LoadData` loads data from a local cache, not from a datasource efficiently. Option C is incorrect because setting the gallery's Items property to 'None' results in an empty gallery, which does not solve the performance problem. Option D is incorrect because `ClearCollect` loads all 10,000 items into a collection on the client side, causing the same slow performance as loading all items directly.

Answer

Use the Variables.loadData function

Answer

Set the gallery's Items property to 'None'

Answer

Use ClearCollect to load all items into a collection

Question 9

A company uses a model-driven app to manage customer service cases. The team wants to automatically assign cases to the appropriate queue based on the case category. What feature should they use?

Accepted Answer

Routing rule set. Routing rule set, is correct because routing rule sets automatically assign records to queues based on defined conditions such as case category. This feature is specifically designed for automatic queue assignment in model-driven apps. Option A (Workflow) runs background processes but does not handle queue assignment directly. Option B (SLA KPIs) tracks service level performance, not routing. Option D (Business process flow) guides users through a process but does not automatically assign cases to queues.

Answer

Workflow

Answer

SLA KPIs

Answer

Business process flow

Question 10

An organization has a model-driven app that uses a custom connector to an on-premises SQL Server database via an on-premises data gateway. Recently, users reported that the app is slow when loading data from the SQL Server. The network team confirms that the gateway server has sufficient resources. Which factor is most likely causing the performance degradation?

Accepted Answer

The on-premises data gateway is configured with a single data source and is not scaled for concurrent requests.. The on-premises data gateway, if configured with a single data source and not scaled for concurrent requests, can become a bottleneck when multiple users or queries access the SQL Server simultaneously, leading to slow performance. Option A is incorrect because the presence of a canvas app component doesn't inherently cause excessive data loading; data loading depends on how the app is built. Option B is incorrect because authentication method (OAuth vs basic) affects security, not performance. Option C is incorrect because the Power Apps license type (per app vs per user) affects licensing cost and access, not the performance of data retrieval through the gateway.

Answer

The model-driven app uses a canvas app component that loads excessive data.

Answer

The custom connector uses OAuth authentication instead of basic authentication.

Answer

The Power Apps license assigned to users is per app, not per user.

Question 11

A user wants to automate sending a welcome email to new users added to Microsoft Entra ID. Which Power Automate trigger should they use?

Accepted Answer

When a user is added to Azure AD. 'When a user is added to Azure AD' (now Microsoft Entra ID) triggers on new user creation. Option A is wrong because it triggers on email arrival. Option B is wrong because it triggers on Dataverse record changes. Option D is wrong because it triggers on file creation in SharePoint.

Answer

When a new email arrives

Answer

When a row is added, modified or deleted in Dataverse

Answer

When a file is created in SharePoint

Question 12

A user wants to create a canvas app from a Microsoft Dataverse table that contains customer information. The app should allow users to view, add, edit, and delete records. Which type of app should the user create?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app from Dataverse. A canvas app created from a Dataverse table provides a customizable interface to view, add, edit, and delete records from that table. Option A is incorrect because Power Pages is for creating external websites, not canvas apps. Option B is incorrect because while model-driven apps can use Dataverse, they are not typically built from a single table with the same record management flexibility. Option C is incorrect because Power Automate is for automating workflows, not for building record management interfaces.

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

Model-driven app from Dataverse

Answer

Power Automate flow

Question 13

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.. Server-side synchronization must be configured to automatically track sent emails in the timeline. Without this configuration, emails sent from the app may not be recorded. Option A is incorrect because the issue is not about shared mailbox; emails from shared mailboxes can still appear in the timeline if configured. Option B is incorrect because 'Auto-track' in Outlook is a client-side setting and does not affect server-side tracking of sent emails. Option D is incorrect because the timeline control is already present and working for other activities; the problem is specifically with sent emails not appearing.

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 14

A medium-sized company uses Power Platform to manage its customer service operations. They have a model-driven app built on Dataverse that tracks cases and customer interactions. Recently, the app has been experiencing slow load times when users open a case record. The Dataverse environment is in the same region as the users. The app uses several business rules and calculated fields. The IT team suspects that the issue might be related to the number of components on the form. They want to optimize performance without disabling necessary functionality. The app is used by 50 customer service agents. What should the IT team do to improve form load times?

Accepted Answer

Remove unused fields and columns from the main form. Removing unused fields and columns from the main form reduces the amount of data retrieved and processed when a case record loads. Fewer form components mean fewer calls to Dataverse and less client-side rendering, directly improving load times without disabling necessary business rules or calculated fields.

Answer

Add more calculated fields to precompute values

Answer

Disable all business rules

Answer

Switch the app to a canvas app

Question 15

You are troubleshooting a Power Automate flow that uses the 'Send an email' action. The flow runs successfully, but recipients report not receiving the email. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The email was sent to the flow owner's mailbox due to configuration. In Power Automate, if the 'Send an email' action is configured to send to the flow owner or there is a misconfiguration in the recipient field, the email might be sent to the flow owner's mailbox instead of the intended recipients. Run history shows success because the action completed, but the email was delivered to the wrong address. Option A is incorrect because a 30-day delay would cause the flow to timeout, not silently deliver to the wrong mailbox. Option B is incorrect because the run history shows success, not failure. Option D is incorrect because exceeding API limits would cause the flow to fail or be suspended, not deliver to the wrong recipient.

Answer

The flow took longer than 30 days to complete

Answer

The flow run history shows a failed run

Answer

The flow was suspended due to exceeding API limits
