Question 1

You are creating a canvas app for expense reporting. The app must allow managers to approve or reject expenses using a dropdown. Which control should you use for the approval action?

Accepted Answer

Dropdown. Option B is correct because a dropdown is ideal for selecting from a short list. Option A is wrong because radio buttons are better for 2-3 options. Option C is wrong because text input is for free text. Option D is wrong because slider is for numeric ranges.

Answer

Radio button

Answer

Text input

Answer

Slider

Question 2

Which THREE are valid ways to embed a canvas app in another application? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Embed in a SharePoint page using the Power Apps web part. Options A, B, and D are correct because Power Apps can be embedded in SharePoint, Teams, and Power BI. Option C is wrong because Excel does not support embedding canvas apps. Option E is wrong because Dynamics 365 uses model-driven apps primarily.

Answer

Embed in Microsoft Excel using a custom add-in

Answer

Question 3

You have a canvas app that uses a SharePoint list as its data source. The app needs to filter records based on the current user's email. Which function should you use in the Items property of the gallery?

Accepted Answer

Filter(SharePointList, Email = User().Email). Option D is correct because User().Email returns the current user's email. Option A is wrong because Lookup finds a single record. Option B is wrong because Filter is correct but missing the user function. Option C is wrong because Search is for text search.

Answer

Search(SharePointList, User().Email, "Email")

Answer

Filter(SharePointList, Email = CurrentUser.Email)

Answer

Lookup(SharePointList, Email = User().Email)

Question 4

You are designing a Power Apps solution for a global sales team. The app must display data in the user's local time zone. The data is stored in Dataverse in UTC. What is the best practice for time zone handling?

Accepted Answer

Store times in UTC and let Power Apps handle conversion automatically. Option C is correct because Power Apps automatically converts UTC to the user's time zone based on their browser/device settings. Option A is wrong because manual conversion is error-prone. Option B is wrong because storing in local time causes confusion. Option D is unnecessary.

Answer

Convert UTC to each time zone using Power Fx formulas

Answer

Store local time in the database based on user's location

Answer

Use a Power Automate flow to convert time zones

Question 5

A company is building a canvas app to track inventory. The app needs to display the current stock level from a SharePoint list and allow users to update quantities via a form. Which connector should be used to read and write data?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint connector. The correct answer is the SharePoint connector, which provides read/write access to SharePoint lists. The Teams connector is for messaging, Power Automate is for workflows, and Microsoft Dataverse is a different data source.

Answer

Power Automate connector

Answer

Microsoft Dataverse connector

Answer

Microsoft Teams connector

Question 6

A model-driven app uses a business process flow to guide users through a sales process. The flow has multiple stages, and users complain that they can move to the next stage without completing required fields. What should the app maker do to enforce data entry?

Accepted Answer

Set the fields as required in the business process flow stage. Option D is correct because setting fields as required in the business process flow stage ensures they must be filled before progressing. Option A is incorrect because it applies to the entire entity, not the flow. Option B is incorrect because read-only fields prevent data entry. Option C is incorrect because validation rules apply at the field level, not flow stage transitions.

Answer

Set the fields as business required in the entity

Answer

Add a validation rule on the entity fields

Answer

Make the fields read-only in the business process flow stage

Question 7

A user wants to create an app that allows employees to submit expense reports from their mobile devices. The app should capture photos of receipts and store them. Which type of app is most suitable?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app. Option A is correct because canvas apps provide a customizable, mobile-friendly interface with camera integration. Model-driven apps are form-centric and less flexible for custom layouts. Portal apps are for external users. Power Automate is for workflows, not app creation.

Answer

Model-driven app

Answer

Power Apps portal

Answer

Power Automate flow

Question 8

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. Option B is correct because routing rule sets automatically assign records to queues based on conditions. Business process flows guide processes, workflows run background processes, and SLA KPIs track service levels.

Answer

Workflow

Answer

SLA KPIs

Answer

Business process flow

Question 9

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. Option C is correct because adding a search box with Delegation filters allows the data source to filter records before returning, reducing load. Option A is incorrect because 'None' still loads all items locally. Option B is incorrect because Variables.loadData is not a standard function. Option D is incorrect because ClearCollect loads all items into a collection.

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 10

A model-driven app includes a custom entity 'Project' with a lookup to 'Account'. Users need to see the account name and phone number on the Project form. What is the best way to display these fields?

Accepted Answer

Add a quick view form for the Account entity. Option B is correct because a quick view form displays related data from the lookup entity without custom code. Option A is incorrect because it would require duplicating fields. Option C is for adding new forms, not displaying related data. Option D is for fields on the same entity.

Answer

Use a calculated field on the Project entity

Answer

Create a new main form for the Project entity

Answer

Add the account fields directly to the Project entity

Question 11

A sales manager wants a mobile app to view customer details and open orders. The app should be built quickly without custom code. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a model-driven app from Dataverse. Option B is correct because model-driven apps are built from Dataverse and provide a responsive interface quickly. Canvas apps require more design effort. Power Automate is for automation, not apps. Power BI is for analytics.

Answer

Build a canvas app from scratch

Answer

Use Power BI to create a mobile dashboard

Answer

Use Power Automate to create a mobile flow

Question 12

A canvas app uses a SharePoint list with a choice column 'Status' (Pending, Approved, Rejected). The app needs to filter the gallery to show only 'Pending' items. The list has 50,000 items. Why does the filter not work as expected?

Accepted Answer

The choice column is non-delegable in Power Apps. Option A is correct because SharePoint choice columns are not delegable for filtering with '='. The filter runs locally, causing performance issues. Option B is incorrect because the gallery doesn't have a delegation property. Option C is incorrect because the issue is delegation, not syntax. Option D is incorrect because the column is a choice, not text.

Answer

The column is not a single line of text

Answer

The gallery's Items property is set to 'Filter' incorrectly

Answer

The filter formula uses the wrong syntax

Question 13

A company wants to allow external partners to submit support tickets via a web interface. The data should be stored in Dataverse. Which type of app should they build?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps portal. Option C is correct because Power Apps portals allow external users to interact with Dataverse data through a web portal. Canvas and model-driven apps are for internal users. Power Virtual Agents is for chatbots.

Answer

Canvas app

Answer

Power Virtual Agents bot

Answer

Question 14
