PL-900 Practice Exam 56 — 20 Questions

Question 1

Which TWO statements accurately describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform?

Accepted Answer

It provides integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure services.. Microsoft Power Platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with Microsoft 365 (e.g., SharePoint, Teams, Outlook) and Azure services (e.g., Azure Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database), enabling organizations to extend their existing investments and build end-to-end solutions. This integration is a core business value, as it allows data and processes to flow across the Microsoft ecosystem without custom middleware.

Answer

It can only be used with Microsoft 365 data.

Answer

It requires professional developers to write all code.

Answer

It is primarily a data analytics tool.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Platform administrator runs a PowerShell command to check the status of an environment. What does the output indicate?

Accepted Answer

The environment is active and usable. The PowerShell command output shows the environment's state as 'Ready' and its provisioning status as 'Succeeded', which together indicate the environment is fully provisioned and operational. In Power Platform, a 'Ready' state means the environment is active and available for use, confirming option D is correct.

Answer

The environment is a sandbox

Answer

The environment has been deleted

Answer

The environment is disabled

Question 3

An admin needs to view the capacity add-ons purchased for a tenant, including AI Builder credits. Where should the admin go?

Accepted Answer

Power Platform admin center > Resources > Capacity. The Power Platform admin center is the dedicated management interface for Power Platform resources, including capacity add-ons and AI Builder credits. Under Resources > Capacity, admins can view detailed breakdowns of capacity entitlements, such as database, file, log, and add-on credits like AI Builder service credits. This is the correct location because it provides tenant-level capacity monitoring specific to Power Platform, not general licensing or Azure billing.

Answer

Power Platform admin center > Billing > Licenses

Answer

Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > Licenses

Answer

Azure portal > Cost Management + Billing

Question 4

A canvas app uses a SharePoint list as its data source. The list contains over 5000 items. Users can only see the first 500 items in the app. What is the most likely solution?

Accepted Answer

Modify the query to use a delegable filter. Power Apps has a default delegation limit of 500 items for non-delegable queries. Using a delegable query (e.g., Filter with column that supports delegation) solves this. Changing to gallery doesn't help; increasing list size limit is not possible; switching to Dataverse avoids the issue but is a bigger change.

Answer

Change the gallery to display items in a data table

Answer

Migrate the data to Microsoft Dataverse

Answer

Increase the SharePoint list view threshold

Question 5

A company uses a canvas app to collect customer feedback. The app stores data in Microsoft Dataverse. Users report that some submissions are not saved when the app loses internet connection. How should the app be modified to prevent data loss?

Accepted Answer

Enable offline capability in the app settings. Enabling offline capability with a local cache allows data to be saved locally and synced when online. Reducing controls or increasing data limit won't solve offline loss.

Answer

Use a SharePoint list instead of Dataverse

Answer

Reduce the number of controls on the form

Answer

Increase the data row limit in Dataverse

Question 6

A company's Power Platform environment has a Dataverse table with a business rule that sets the 'Status' field to 'Expired' when 'EndDate' is in the past. However, the rule does not apply retroactively. How can the administrator enforce the rule for existing records?

Accepted Answer

Create a Power Automate flow that runs on existing records and updates the status.. Business rules in Dataverse do not apply retroactively to existing records; they only trigger on new or updated records. A Power Automate flow can be configured to query all existing records where 'EndDate' is in the past and 'Status' is not 'Expired', then update the 'Status' field accordingly. This provides a scalable, automated solution without manual intervention.

Answer

Manually update the records using Excel import.

Answer

Create a calculated field that computes the status.

Answer

Modify the business rule to run on load for all records.

Question 7

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Apps administrator runs the PowerShell command shown. What is the purpose of this command?

Accepted Answer

To verify which Power Apps licenses are assigned to the user. The administrator is checking which licenses (including Power Apps) are assigned to the user. Option A is wrong because the command is not about app permissions. Option B is wrong because it does not create anything. Option C is wrong because it does not check connectivity.

Answer

To remove the user from a Power Apps environment

Answer

To check if the user can connect to Dataverse

Answer

To create a new Power Apps license for the user

Question 8

A business analyst wants to build an app quickly using a pre-built template. Which Power Apps capability should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use a Power Apps template from the template gallery. Power Apps offers templates for common scenarios. Canvas apps from blank require more effort. Model-driven apps are not template-based. Power Automate is for workflows.

Answer

Create a Model-driven app from a Dataverse table

Answer

Use Power Automate to generate the app

Answer

Create a Canvas app from blank

Question 9

A company wants to build a Power Apps canvas app for field technicians to report equipment issues. The app must allow offline data entry and sync when connectivity is restored. Which feature should the developer enable?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Offline' feature in the app settings. Power Apps mobile app supports offline capabilities by enabling the 'Offline' feature, which allows data to be cached and synced later. Option D is correct. Option A is wrong because Power Automate flows can be triggered online but do not provide offline data caching. Option B is wrong because SharePoint lists require network connectivity unless using a third-party sync tool. Option C is wrong because the Common Data Service (Microsoft Dataverse) supports offline sync only when the app is explicitly configured for offline use, but the question asks about the feature to enable in the app.

Answer

Use a Power Automate flow to queue data submissions

Answer

Configure the app to store data in a SharePoint list

Answer

Use the Common Data Service (Dataverse) offline sync

Question 10

A logistics company uses Power Platform to track shipments. They have a Power Apps app for drivers to update delivery status, and Power Automate flows to notify customers. Recently, drivers reported that the app sometimes fails to sync data when they are in areas with poor connectivity. The company needs a solution that allows offline data entry and automatic sync when connectivity is restored. What should they do?

Accepted Answer

Enable offline capability in the Power Apps canvas app and use Dataverse for offline data storage. Power Apps canvas apps support offline capability when connected to Dataverse, which can store data locally on the device and automatically synchronize with the server when connectivity is restored. This directly addresses the drivers' need for offline data entry and sync in poor connectivity areas.

Answer

Use AI Builder to predict connectivity issues and queue data

Answer

Migrate the app to a model-driven app with offline sync

Answer

Replace the app with a Power BI dashboard that refreshes periodically

Question 11

A Power Platform administrator needs to review which users have accessed a specific environment in the last 30 days. What should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Platform admin center auditing. The Power Platform admin center provides built-in auditing capabilities that allow administrators to view user access logs for specific environments. By navigating to the 'Auditing' section within the admin center, an admin can filter by environment and date range (e.g., last 30 days) to see which users have accessed the environment. This is the correct tool because it is purpose-built for Power Platform governance and does not require additional scripting or external tools.

Answer

Power Platform PowerShell cmdlets

Answer

Power Apps maker portal

Answer

Microsoft 365 admin center

Question 12

A Power BI report shows a measure 'Sales Growth %' defined as above. The measure returns blank for some months even though sales data exists. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The date table is not marked as a date table in Power BI.. When a date table is not marked as a date table in Power BI, time intelligence functions like SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR may not correctly identify the date context, causing them to return blank for certain periods even when data exists. Marking the table as a date table ensures that Power BI uses its built-in date hierarchy and calendar logic, which is required for functions that shift or compare date ranges.

Answer

The measure should use TOTALYTD instead of SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR.

Answer

The Sales table has no relationship with the Date table.

Answer

The DIVIDE function requires a third argument for alternate result.

Question 13

A company is implementing Microsoft Power Platform and needs to ensure that only licensed users can create environments. Which setting should be enabled?

Accepted Answer

Enable 'Create environments' in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings. The 'Create environments' setting in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings is the specific control that restricts environment creation to licensed users only. By default, this setting is enabled for all users, but administrators can disable it to limit creation to users with a Power Platform license (e.g., Power Apps per user plan, Power Automate per user plan, or Dynamics 365 licenses). This ensures compliance with licensing requirements and prevents unlicensed users from consuming capacity.

Answer

Enable 'Create database' in the tenant settings

Answer

Enable 'Create solutions' in the Power Platform admin center

Answer

Enable 'Create apps' in the Power Platform admin center

Question 14

A manufacturing company is planning to implement Microsoft Power Platform. The environment strategy must support data isolation for sensitive production data while allowing developers to experiment with new features without affecting the production environment. Which two environment types should the company use?

Accepted Answer

Sandbox environment. A sandbox environment provides a non-production area for development and testing. A production environment hosts the live apps and data. Together they allow development without affecting production.

Answer

Default environment

Answer

Developer environment

Answer

Trial environment

Question 15

A non-profit organization needs to generate weekly donation reports from multiple data sources and share them with stakeholders via email. Which Power Platform tool should they use to create the report?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct tool because it is designed specifically for data visualization and reporting. It can connect to multiple data sources, transform and model the data, and create interactive reports. These reports can then be scheduled to refresh and be shared with stakeholders via email using Power BI's subscription feature or by integrating with Power Automate.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Question 16

An app maker wants to add a button in a model-driven app that, when clicked, creates a new record of a custom entity called 'Inspection'. The maker should use which feature?

Accepted Answer

Custom command on the command bar. A custom command can be added to the command bar in a model-driven app to create a new record for a custom entity. Option B (Power Automate flow) is wrong because while a flow can be triggered from a command, the question is about the feature used to add the button itself. Option C (Business rule) is wrong because business rules are used for validation and show/hide logic, not for adding buttons. Option D (Form editor) is wrong because the form editor is used for form layout, not for adding command bar buttons.

Answer

Power Automate flow

Answer

Business rule

Answer

Form editor

Question 17

A company is designing a Power Apps canvas app for inventory management. They want to allow managers to approve or reject requests directly from their mobile devices. Which control should be used to collect the manager's decision?

Accepted Answer

Radio control. A Radio control allows selecting one option from a set, ideal for Approve/Reject decisions. Option D is correct because a Radio control presents mutually exclusive choices clearly on mobile. Option A is wrong because a Drop down requires an extra tap to expand, less intuitive for two options. Option B is wrong because a Checkbox is typically for binary yes/no but is not as clear for a single choice among two. Option C is wrong because a Text input requires typing, which is inefficient for a simple approval decision.

Answer

Drop down control

Answer

Checkbox control

Answer

Text input control

Question 18

A large enterprise uses Power Platform with multiple environments. They need to enforce a policy that blocks all Canvas apps from using the 'Twitter' connector, but only in the 'Production' environment. What should the administrator do?

Accepted Answer

Create an environment-level DLP policy for the Production environment and set 'Twitter' to 'Blocked'. Environment-level DLP policies allow administrators to apply connector restrictions to specific environments, such as blocking the 'Twitter' connector only in 'Production' while leaving it available in other environments. This granular control is essential for enforcing governance without affecting development or testing environments.

Answer

Create a DLP policy at the tenant level and set the 'Twitter' connector to 'Blocked'

Answer

Disable the 'Twitter' connector in the Power Platform admin center for the Production environment

Answer

Use the 'Set Connector' API to disable the connector for the Production environment

Question 19

An organization uses Power Automate to approve expense reports. Managers want to approve via Microsoft Teams. Which connector should be used?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Teams. The Microsoft Teams connector is the correct choice because it enables Power Automate flows to interact directly with Microsoft Teams, allowing managers to approve expense reports through Teams messages, adaptive cards, or chat-based approvals without leaving the Teams interface.

Answer

Office 365 Outlook

Answer

Dataverse

Answer

SharePoint

Question 20

An administrator runs a PowerShell command to check a DLP policy. Based on the output, which connector is allowed to be used in Power Automate flows?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Teams. The PowerShell command output indicates that the DLP policy allows the 'Microsoft Teams' connector, as it is listed in the allowed connector list. DLP policies in Power Platform control which connectors can be used in Power Automate flows, and the output explicitly shows Microsoft Teams as permitted.

Answer

Dropbox

Answer

Google Drive

Answer

Microsoft OneDrive
