AI Builder to process natural language

Question 2

Which THREE factors determine the capacity limits (database, file, log) of a Power Platform environment? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Environment type (production vs. sandbox). Environment type (production vs. sandbox) directly determines the default capacity limits for database, file, and log storage. Production environments receive higher default entitlements, while sandbox environments are capped at 1 GB of database capacity, ensuring that testing does not consume production resources.

Answer

Number of licensed users in the tenant

Answer

Environment geographic region

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Anonymous. Anonymous access allows users to submit forms without authentication.

Answer

SAML 2.0

Answer

Microsoft Entra ID

Answer

OpenID Connect

Question 4

A user wants to create a Power Apps canvas app that displays data from an Excel spreadsheet stored in Microsoft OneDrive for Business. Which connector should be used?

Accepted Answer

Excel Online (Business) connector. The correct connector for accessing an Excel spreadsheet stored in OneDrive for Business is the Excel Online (Business) connector. This connector enables Power Apps to read and write data from Excel files hosted in OneDrive or SharePoint. Option A (Dataverse) is a database service, not for file storage. Option B (OneDrive for Business connector) is for file and folder operations, but not for reading Excel data directly. Option C (SharePoint connector) is for SharePoint lists and libraries, but the question specifies OneDrive storage, not SharePoint. Therefore, Option D is correct.

Answer

Dataverse connector

Answer

OneDrive for Business connector

Answer

SharePoint connector

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 store the current date/time, then use an `if` condition inside a `for` loop to compare each event date to the current date. Option C is correct because this approach allows dynamic comparison within the loop. Option A is incorrect because the `where` filter does not support dynamic date comparisons; it can only compare static values. Option B is incorrect because the `date` filter is used for formatting dates, not for filtering. Option D is incorrect because `group_by` groups events by a field but does not filter based on date.

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

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. 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 B is wrong because the Partner role does not implicitly include Write on all tables; permissions must be explicitly granted. Option D is wrong because Write permission on the Invoice table does not extend to the Proposal table.

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 7

A company has a canvas app that uses Microsoft Dataverse. The app is shared with many users, and some users report that they cannot see any data. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Users do not have appropriate security roles in Dataverse to read the data.. Permissions in Dataverse (A) control data access. B, C, D are less likely because the app is shared and appears functional.

Answer

The app uses a premium connector that requires a license.

Answer

The app is not published to the environment.

Answer

The app is configured to run only on mobile devices.

Question 8

You are reviewing a FetchXML query used in a Power Apps component. The exhibit shows the query. What data will this query return?

Accepted Answer

Active accounts created in the last 30 days, returning name, accountid, and createdon.. The query selects accounts where statecode equals 0 (Active) and createdon is within the last 30 days. It returns name, accountid, and createdon. Option A is wrong because statecode 0 is Active, not Inactive. Option B is wrong because it's not all accounts. Option D is wrong because it does not include all attributes.

Answer

All inactive accounts created in the last 30 days, including all attributes.

Answer

All accounts created in the last 30 days, only name, accountid, and createdon.

Answer

All accounts regardless of state, returning all attributes.

Question 9

A Power Apps developer creates a canvas app that uses the 'Power Apps for Makers' license. The app is shared with 50 users who have 'Microsoft 365 E3' licenses. When users try to run the app, they get a licensing error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The app is a premium app that requires a Power Apps per user license. Canvas apps require Power Apps per user or per app licenses for users without Power Apps for Makers. Microsoft 365 E3 includes only limited Power Apps rights for basic use, not premium custom apps.

Answer

The app was published to a different environment

Answer

The app uses Microsoft Dataverse, which is not included in E3

Answer

The app uses AI Builder, which is not included in E3

Question 10

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. Enabling website caching for authenticated users in Power Pages site settings reduces server-side processing and database calls, improving load times. Option A is incorrect because using the Web API still requires server-side processing and does not eliminate the complexity of Liquid templates. Option B is incorrect because disabling authentication would compromise security and is not a viable performance solution. Option C is incorrect because removing Liquid templates entirely is impractical and unnecessary when caching can alleviate the issue.

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 11

You are building a canvas app that collects customer feedback. The app must send an email notification to the manager whenever a new feedback entry is submitted. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Create a Power Automate flow that triggers when a new row is added to the data source and sends an email. Power Automate can trigger on data changes in the data source and send emails. Option A is wrong because the Outlook connector in Power Apps requires user interaction. Option B is wrong because direct email from Power Apps is not secure and not recommended. Option D is wrong because SharePoint lists don't automatically send emails.

Answer

Use the Office365 Outlook connector within Power Apps to send an email directly

Answer

Configure the app to call a custom API that sends an email

Answer

Store feedback in a SharePoint list and use 'Send email' action in SharePoint

Question 12

A Power Pages site uses a custom Liquid template to display a list of events. The template uses {% assign events = entities.event | top: 10 %} but the page shows no results even though there are events in Dataverse. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The user's web role lacks read permission on the Event table. The most likely cause is that the user's web role lacks read permission on the Event table. Power Pages uses Table Permissions to control data access; a web role must have read access for the user to retrieve data via Liquid entities. Option B is incorrect because 'top' is a valid filter in Liquid. Option C is incorrect because page caching does not prevent Liquid from executing against Dataverse; it caches the rendered output after execution. Option D is incorrect because incorrect Liquid syntax typically produces an error, not empty results.

Answer

The 'top' filter is not valid in Liquid

Answer

Page caching is preventing fresh data

Answer

The Liquid syntax is incorrect

Question 13

Drag and drop the steps to create a canvas app from a SharePoint list in the correct order.

Accepted Answer

Go to Power Apps maker portal, then select SharePoint as data source, then connect to a specific SharePoint list, then choose a template for the app, then publish and share the app.. The process starts in the maker portal, then selects SharePoint as source, connects to the list, chooses a template, and finally publishes and shares.

Answer

Select SharePoint as data source, then choose a template for the app, then connect to a specific SharePoint list, then go to Power Apps maker portal, then publish and share the app.

Answer

Publish and share the app, then go to Power Apps maker portal, then select SharePoint as data source, then connect to a specific SharePoint list, then choose a template for the app.

Answer

Choose a template for the app, then go to Power Apps maker portal, then select SharePoint as data source, then connect to a specific SharePoint list, then publish and share the app.

Question 14

An organization plans to deploy a Power Platform solution that uses Dataverse as the data source. They need to ensure that users can only see records from their own department. What should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Business units and security roles with team-based access. Business units and security roles with team-based access are the correct implementation because Dataverse uses a hierarchical security model where business units define the organizational structure and security roles control record-level permissions. By configuring business units per department and assigning users to teams within those units, you can enforce that users only see records belonging to their own department through record ownership and sharing rules.

Answer

Power Automate to filter records

Answer

Audit logging

Answer

Column-level security profiles

Question 15

Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Power Pages?

Accepted Answer

Integrate with Dataverse for data storage. Power Pages allows creation of external websites and supports integration with Dataverse, but it does not create mobile apps or run complex machine learning models directly.

Answer

Run complex machine learning models

Answer

Automate business processes using workflows

Answer

Build custom mobile apps for iOS and Android

Question 16

Which TWO components are required to build a Power Pages site?

Accepted Answer

A Dataverse environment. To build a Power Pages site, you need a Dataverse environment to store data and a Power Pages license to create the site. A custom domain (A) is optional and not required. Azure AD B2C (B) is also optional for authentication. A Power Automate license (C) is optional for automating workflows.

Answer

Custom domain

Answer

Azure AD B2C tenant

Answer

Power Automate license

Question 17

A company wants to automatically send a welcome email to new customers when they submit a form on the company website. Which Power Platform tool should be used?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate. Power Automate is the correct tool because it enables the creation of automated workflows that can trigger when a form is submitted, then send a welcome email via an email connector. This aligns with Power Automate's core purpose of automating business processes across applications and services without manual intervention.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Question 18

You are a Power Platform administrator for a medium-sized business. The company uses Power Apps and Power Automate extensively. The development team has requested the ability to create their own sandbox environments for testing without waiting for IT. However, the security team requires that all environments be subject to data loss prevention (DLP) policies and that environment creation be tracked. You need to design a solution that allows developers to self-service environment creation while maintaining governance. The developers currently have Power Apps Plan 2 licenses. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a security group in Microsoft Entra ID, add developers, and configure tenant settings to allow only members of that group to create environments. Enable audit logging.. The best approach is to create a security group in Microsoft Entra ID, add developers to it, and then configure the tenant settings to allow that group to create environments. Additionally, enable audit logging to track creation. Option A is incorrect because assigning the Power Platform Administrator role gives too much privilege. Option B is incorrect because disabling creation for non-admins prevents self-service. Option C is incorrect because the CoE Starter Kit is for governance but does not directly enable self-service creation.

Answer

Assign the Power Platform Administrator role to all developers.

Answer

Disable environment creation for non-admins and have developers submit requests to IT.

Answer

Install the CoE Starter Kit and configure the environment creation policy to allow all users.

Question 19

A Power Pages site uses a custom Liquid template to display a chart using Chart.js. The chart data is fetched from a Dataverse table using a web API call from JavaScript. The page loads but the chart fails to render. You suspect a cross-origin issue. What is the most likely cause and solution?

Accepted Answer

Upload the Chart.js library as a web file in the portal and reference it locally.. Power Pages sites enforce a Content Security Policy (CSP) that restricts the sources from which scripts and data can be loaded. The external Chart.js library loaded from a CDN is likely blocked by the CSP. The correct solution is to upload the Chart.js library as a web file in the portal and reference it locally (option A). Option B (Disabling CSP) is not recommended and weakens security. Option C (using credentials: 'include') is unrelated to cross-origin script loading; it pertains to cookie handling in fetch requests. Option D (using a different library) does not address the root cause—any external resource would still be subject to CSP.

Answer

Disable Content Security Policy in the portal settings.

Answer

Configure the web API call to use credentials: 'include'.

Answer

Use a different JavaScript library that doesn't require external resources.

Question 20

A marketing team needs to create a public event registration page that captures attendee information and stores it in Dataverse. They want to design the page using drag-and-drop components without writing code. Which feature of Power Pages should they use?

Accepted Answer
