PL-900 Practice Test 8 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A global company uses Power Platform and wants to ensure that data residency requirements are met for users in different regions. What should they configure?

Accepted Answer

In the Power Platform admin center, create environments in the appropriate geographic regions (e.g., Europe, United States).. Power Platform environments are the boundary for data storage and compute. By creating environments in specific geographic regions (e.g., Europe, United States) via the Power Platform admin center, the company ensures that all data for that environment resides in the chosen region, meeting data residency requirements. This is the primary mechanism for controlling data location in Power Platform.

Answer

Create data loss prevention (DLP) policies to block data movement between regions.

Answer

Configure Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies to restrict access based on geographic location.

Answer

Use Microsoft Purview to tag environments with data residency labels.

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Platform administrator applies this DLP policy to the default environment. What is the result?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors are blocked in the default environment. The exhibit shows a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy configured with Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors in the 'Blocked' group. Since this policy is applied to the default environment, only those two connectors are blocked in that environment. All other connectors remain in the 'Allowed' group by default, so they are permitted. Therefore, the correct result is that Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors are blocked in the default environment.

Answer

All connectors are allowed

Answer

All connectors are blocked

Answer

The policy applies to all environments

Question 3

A Power Pages site has a form that submits data to Dataverse. Users report that the form is slow to load because it contains many lookup fields. What is the best practice to improve form load performance?

Accepted Answer

Reduce the number of lookup fields on the form.. Reducing the number of lookup fields directly decreases the number of separate database queries and network round-trips required to load the form. Each lookup field in a Power Pages form triggers an individual request to Dataverse to retrieve the related record's display name and metadata, so fewer lookups means fewer requests and faster load times.

Answer

Disable the cascading lookup feature.

Answer

Enable client-side caching for lookups.

Answer

Add FetchXML filters to each lookup to limit results.

Question 4

A team is creating a model-driven app to manage customer service cases. They want to ensure that only users with a specific security role can delete cases. What should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Security roles. Security roles in model-driven apps define permissions, including the ability to delete records. Option B is wrong because business rules define business logic and form behavior, not security permissions. Option C is wrong because the SharePoint connector is used for integration with SharePoint, not for security. Option D is wrong because app properties control settings like appearance and ownership, not security permissions.

Answer

Business rules

Answer

SharePoint connector

Answer

App properties

Question 5

A company wants to build a custom app that allows field technicians to view and update work orders on their mobile devices, with data stored in Dataverse. Which approach minimizes development effort?

Accepted Answer

Create a canvas app in Power Apps. Canvas apps in Power Apps are designed for rapid, low-code development with drag-and-drop UI and direct Dataverse connectivity, making them the fastest path to a mobile-friendly work order app. They can be published to Power Apps mobile and run on iOS and Android without native development.

Answer

Use Power Automate to generate a mobile app

Answer

Build a custom iOS app using Swift and Xcode

Answer

Create a model-driven app in Power Apps

Question 6

You are designing a Power Pages site for a non-profit organization. The site will have multiple sections, each managed by different departments. The IT department wants to ensure that only authorized users can edit the site's content. Which approach should you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Create web roles in Power Pages and assign users to those roles to grant editing permissions.. Power Pages uses web roles to control what authenticated users can see and do on the site, including content editing via the Portal Management app or front-end editing features. Assigning users to a web role that has the appropriate table permissions and content-editing privileges is the native, supported way to grant editing access to specific departments. This provides granular, role-based control without over-privileging users.

Answer

Implement a custom approval workflow using Power Automate.

Answer

Provide all department heads with administrative access to the Power Pages admin center.

Answer

Use Microsoft Entra ID groups to grant access to the site's editing features.

Question 7

A company wants to automate a business process that requires approval from a manager before an expense report is submitted. Which Microsoft Power Platform component should be used?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate. Power Automate is the correct component because it is designed to create automated workflows that can include approval steps. In this scenario, a Power Automate flow can be triggered when an expense report is submitted, route the request to the manager for approval, and then proceed with submission only after approval is granted.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Question 8

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. The gallery named AccountGallery has its Items property set to 'Filter(SalesData, status = 'Active')'. SalesData is defined as a data source of type Microsoft Dataverse, entity 'accounts'. Therefore, the data source is the filtered Dataverse Accounts data source. The filter is applied to the Accounts entity, so it is not the raw entity but a filtered view.

Answer

A SQL Server table named Accounts

Answer

A SharePoint list named SalesData

Answer

The raw Dataverse Accounts entity

Question 9

A small business wants to create a custom app to track inventory without hiring developers. Which Microsoft Power Platform tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps. Power Apps is the correct choice because it enables users to build custom applications with low-code or no-code tools, allowing the small business to create an inventory tracking app without hiring professional developers. Power Apps provides pre-built templates and connectors to data sources like SharePoint or SQL Server, making it ideal for rapid app development tailored to specific business needs.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Automate

Question 10

Which TWO features are available in canvas apps but NOT in model-driven apps?

Accepted Answer

Use of formulas like If, Switch, Filter. Option B is correct because canvas apps are built on Power Fx, a formula language that lets makers write expressions such as If, Switch, and Filter directly in property formulas, whereas model-driven apps rely on declarative configuration (forms, views, business rules) rather than a formula language. Option D is correct because canvas apps can call device and media capabilities through connectors and Power Fx functions (for example Camera, Location, and Barcode), giving them native access to hardware like the camera and GPS, while model-driven apps do not expose these device capabilities in the same way. Option A is incorrect because both canvas and model-driven apps can integrate with Microsoft Dataverse as their data source. Option C is incorrect because AI Builder models can be consumed from both canvas apps and model-driven apps. Option E is incorrect because embedding a canvas app inside a model-driven app is supported, so it is not exclusive to canvas apps.

Answer

Integration with Microsoft Dataverse

Answer

Ability to use AI Builder models

Answer

Embedding a canvas app in a model-driven app
