PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Test 11 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A retail company uses Power Apps to build a mobile app for store managers to approve discount requests. The app must work offline and sync when connected. Which type of app should the developer choose?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Canvas app. Canvas apps are the correct choice because they support offline capability by leveraging the Power Apps offline sync feature, which allows data to be cached locally on the device and synchronized with the data source (e.g., Dataverse or SharePoint) when connectivity is restored. This makes them ideal for mobile scenarios like store managers approving discount requests in areas with intermittent connectivity.

Answer

Portal

Answer

Model-driven app

Answer

Power Automate

Question 2

A healthcare organization needs a Power Apps app to track patient visit data. The data must be stored in Microsoft Dataverse, and the app should automatically generate a timeline of visits for each patient. Which app type is most suitable?

Accepted Answer

Model-driven app. A model-driven app is the most suitable choice because it is designed for complex, data-centric business applications that require rich relational data modeling, automated business logic, and built-in timeline controls. Dataverse provides the underlying relational storage, and model-driven apps natively support timeline components that automatically aggregate and display patient visit records in chronological order without custom development.

Answer

Portal

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Canvas app

Question 3

A company has a canvas app that uses a SharePoint list as its data source. The app works fine for most users but a few users report that they cannot submit new items. They receive a generic 'Access denied' error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The users lack write permissions on the SharePoint list.. The 'Access denied' error when submitting new items in a canvas app connected to a SharePoint list indicates that the user lacks write permissions on the underlying data source. Even though the app is shared with the user, the SharePoint list itself enforces its own permission model. Without Contribute or Edit permissions on the list, the user cannot create new items, resulting in the generic access denied error.

Answer

The connection reference is not shared with the users.

Answer

The SharePoint list has exceeded its item limit.

Answer

The app is shared with 'Can edit' permission but not 'Can view'.

Question 4

Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Power Apps that help organizations build custom business applications without writing traditional code?

Accepted Answer

Integration with Common Data Service (Microsoft Dataverse). Option A is correct because Power Apps natively integrates with Microsoft Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service), providing a built-in, scalable data platform with standardized tables, relationships, and security that lets makers build apps using data connectors and formulas instead of writing traditional code. Option B is correct because Power Apps ships with pre-built templates for common business scenarios (e.g., inspection, expense tracking, onboarding), which makers can customize through a visual designer, accelerating no-code app development. Option C is not correct for this scenario because conversational bots are built with Power Virtual Agents, not Power Apps, even though it is part of the Power Platform. Option D is not correct because event-driven automated workflows are the domain of Power Automate, not Power Apps. Option E is not correct because real-time dashboards with drill-down analytics are provided by Power BI, not Power Apps.

Answer

Natural language processing to create conversational bots

Answer

Automated workflows triggered by business events

Answer

Real-time data dashboards with drill-down analytics

Question 5

Drag and drop the steps to deploy a solution from a development environment to a production environment in Power Platform in the correct order.

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Add components, Step 3: Export the solution, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.. Solutions are created, components added, exported, imported, and then published.

Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Export the solution, Step 3: Add components, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Answer

Step 1: Add components, Step 2: Create a solution, Step 3: Export the solution, Step 4: Import the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Answer

Step 1: Create a solution, Step 2: Add components, Step 3: Import the solution, Step 4: Export the solution, Step 5: Publish.

Question 6

A business analyst creates a model-driven app using Dataverse. They need to ensure that when a new lead is created, a task is automatically assigned to the sales team. Which component should be used?

Accepted Answer

A Power Automate flow triggered on lead creation. A Power Automate cloud flow triggered on Dataverse lead creation can automatically create and assign a task record to the sales team. This is the standard low-code automation approach in the Power Platform for cross-table actions triggered by record events. Business rules cannot create task records in another table.

Answer

A business rule on the lead form

Answer

A calculated field that sets the task status

Answer

A canvas app with a button to create a task

Question 7

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 8

A company uses Power Apps to manage customer service cases. They want to implement a business rule that automatically sets the priority to 'High' when the customer is a VIP. Where should the business rule be defined?

Accepted Answer

In the Dataverse table's business rules settings. Business rules in Power Apps that target Dataverse tables are defined in the table's Business Rules settings within the Power Apps maker portal. These rules run server-side on Dataverse, apply across all apps (canvas, model-driven, Power Pages), and can set field values, show errors, or lock fields without requiring code. This is the correct location for a rule that automatically sets Priority to 'High' for VIP customers.

Answer

In the SharePoint list settings

Answer

In a Power Automate flow

Answer

In the canvas app's OnStart property

Question 9

A business user wants to build a Power Apps app without writing any code. Which type of app should they create?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app. Canvas apps are designed for low-code/no-code development, allowing business users to create custom applications by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas and connecting them to data sources without writing code. This aligns directly with the user's requirement to build an app without coding.

Answer

Power Automate flow

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

Model-driven app

Question 10

Which TWO actions can be performed using Power Apps? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Embed an app in Microsoft Teams. Option B is correct because Power Apps apps can be published and embedded directly into Microsoft Teams as tabs or personal apps, letting users interact with the app inside the Teams interface. Option C is correct because Power Apps is specifically designed for building low-code mobile and web apps, including canvas apps that field service technicians can run on phones or tablets for inspections, work orders, and data capture. Option A is not the best fit because multi-step approval automation is primarily handled by Power Automate, not Power Apps itself. Option D is not correct because chatbots are built with Microsoft Copilot Studio (formerly Power Virtual Agents), not Power Apps. Option E is not correct because dashboards with sales data are typically created in Power BI rather than Power Apps.

Answer

Automate a multi-step approval process

Answer

Create a chatbot for customer inquiries

Answer

Create a dashboard with sales data

Question 11

Which THREE components are part of a model-driven app in Power Apps? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Views. In a model-driven app, the core building blocks are defined by the data model and the Dataverse metadata, so Tables (C) are correct because they define the entities, columns, and relationships that store the app's data. Views (B) are correct because they are saved queries that determine how records from a table are listed and filtered in the app's navigation. Forms (D) are correct because they define the layout and fields used to create, view, and edit records in a model-driven app. Galleries (A) and Screens (E) are not part of model-driven apps; they are canvas app controls and containers used to build pixel-perfect, free-form layouts.

Answer

Galleries

Answer

Screens

Question 12

Which TWO data sources can be directly connected to a Power Apps canvas app without using an on-premises data gateway? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Microsoft 365 Outlook. Microsoft 365 Outlook (option D) is a cloud-based service, so a canvas app can connect to it directly through the built-in Office 365 Outlook connector without any on-premises data gateway. SharePoint Online list (option E) is likewise a cloud-hosted data source, and the SharePoint connector supports direct connections from Power Apps canvas apps without a gateway. In contrast, Oracle Database on-premises (A), SAP on-premises (B), and SQL Server on-premises (C) all reside inside a private network, so they require an on-premises data gateway to be reached from Power Apps.

Answer

Oracle Database on-premises

Answer

SAP on-premises

Answer

SQL Server on-premises

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit. An ARM template deploys a Power App with a connection to Office 365 Outlook. What is the purpose of the 'dependsOn' element?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the connection is deployed before the app. In an ARM template, the dependsOn element explicitly declares that one resource must be deployed before another. In this scenario, the Power App depends on the Office 365 Outlook connection, so dependsOn ensures the connection is created first. This ordering is essential because the app references the connection's resource ID; without it, deployment could fail or the app could be provisioned without a valid connection.

Answer

To deploy the resources to different regions

Answer

To ensure the app is deployed before the connection

Answer

To reduce the cost of the deployment

Question 14

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Apps canvas app uses the Filter function as shown. What does this expression do?

Accepted Answer

Returns all records from array1 where Status is 'Active'. The Filter function in Power Apps returns a table of records that meet the specified condition. In this expression, Filter(array1, Status = "Active") evaluates each record in array1 and includes only those where the Status column equals 'Active'. This is correct because Filter always returns all matching records, not just the first one.

Answer

Returns the first record from array1 with Status 'Active'

Answer

Sorts array1 by Status in ascending order

Answer

Searches array1 for the text 'Active' in any column

Question 15

A company wants to build a canvas app to allow field technicians to report equipment issues from their mobile devices. The app must work offline and sync data when connectivity is restored. Which feature should the developer use?

Accepted Answer

Offline. Power Apps canvas apps support offline capability using the Offline feature, which caches data on the device and syncs when connectivity is restored. Option A (Power Automate) is a workflow automation tool, not an offline data sync feature. Option B (Power Platform admin center) is used for administration and governance, not for app-level offline capabilities. Option C (Common Data Service, now Microsoft Dataverse) is a data platform that can enable offline sync when used with the Offline feature, but the question specifically asks for the feature the developer should use, which is the Offline feature itself. Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Platform admin center

Answer

Common Data Service
