PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Test 16 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A business needs to build a Power Apps app that allows sales representatives to view customer information and update order status while offline. The data source is Microsoft Dataverse. Which type of Power App should the maker create?

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

Accepted Answer

Canvas app with offline enabled.. Canvas apps can be enabled for offline use with Dataverse, allowing sales reps to view customer information and update order status without connectivity. Option A is incorrect because model-driven apps require online connectivity for full functionality; although offline profiles exist for mobile clients, they do not support all operations like creating new records or updating data while completely offline. Option B is incorrect because Power Pages is for external-facing websites, not offline mobile app scenarios. Option C is incorrect because AI Builder provides AI capabilities, not offline data access.

Answer

Model-driven app with offline profile.

Answer

Power Pages site.

Answer

AI Builder model.

Question 2

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 3

A company uses Microsoft Power Apps to build a leave request application. The app uses SharePoint as the data source. Users report that when they submit a leave request, the app sometimes fails to save the data and shows a generic error. Which should you investigate first?

Accepted Answer

Verify the connection to the SharePoint data source.. Generic errors when saving data in Power Apps often indicate a problem with the data source connection, such as network interruption or permission changes. Option A is incorrect because clearing browser cache and cookies typically affects app loading performance, not data submission. Option C is incorrect because delegation issues in Power Apps affect data retrieval (e.g., filtering large lists), not the ability to save new records. Option D is incorrect because formula syntax errors usually produce specific error messages, not a generic save failure.

Answer

Clear the browser cache and cookies.

Answer

Check if the app uses delegation for large lists.

Answer

Review the app formulas for syntax errors.

Question 4

A user wants to create a canvas app from a Microsoft Dataverse table that contains customer information. The app should allow users to view, add, edit, and delete records. Which type of app should the user create?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app from Dataverse. A canvas app created from a Dataverse table provides a customizable interface to view, add, edit, and delete records from that table. Option A is incorrect because Power Pages is for creating external websites, not canvas apps. Option B is incorrect because while model-driven apps can use Dataverse, they are not typically built from a single table with the same record management flexibility. Option C is incorrect because Power Automate is for automating workflows, not for building record management interfaces.

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

Model-driven app from Dataverse

Answer

Power Automate flow

Question 5

A power user is designing a canvas app for inventory management. The app has a gallery that displays products. The user wants to filter the gallery to show only products with stock less than 10. Which formula should the user use in the Items property of the gallery?

Accepted Answer

Filter(Products, Stock < 10). The Filter function in Power Apps applies a condition to show only records where Stock < 10. Option A is wrong because LookUp returns a single record, not a filtered collection. Option C is wrong because Sort changes the order but does not filter. Option D is wrong because Search is for text search, not numeric comparison.

Answer

LookUp(Products, Stock < 10)

Answer

Sort(Products, Stock)

Answer

Search(Products, "10", "Stock")

Question 6

A company uses a model-driven app to manage support tickets. Users want to automate the creation of a follow-up task when a ticket is resolved. Which component should be used?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate flow. Power Automate can trigger on record changes (e.g., status change to resolved) to automatically create a follow-up task. Option B is wrong because Microsoft Copilot Studio is for building chatbots, not for task automation. Option C is wrong because a custom Power Apps page would require manual interaction, not automation. Option D is wrong because Business Rules are limited to simple form logic and cannot create records.

Answer

Microsoft Copilot Studio

Answer

Custom Power Apps page

Answer

Business Rule

Question 7

A business analyst wants to quickly create a simple app to track team tasks without writing complex formulas. Which Power Apps option is most suitable?

Accepted Answer

Use the app from data wizard (e.g., from SharePoint). The app from data wizard in Power Apps allows creating a simple app from a data source with minimal customization, ideal for quickly tracking team tasks without complex formulas. Option A is wrong because a blank canvas app requires more manual design and formulas. Option B is wrong because model-driven apps are more complex and suited for data-centric applications. Option C is wrong because Power Automate is for workflow automation, not app creation.

Answer

Start from a blank canvas app

Answer

Create a model-driven app

Answer

Use Power Automate to create the app

Question 8

In a model-driven app, a user wants to see a map of all customer addresses on a form. Which feature should be enabled?

Accepted Answer

Map control. The Map control in model-driven apps displays addresses on a map. Option A is wrong because the Notes section is for attaching notes to records. Option C is wrong because the Associated View shows related records in a list. Option D is wrong because the Timeline control shows activities and communications.

Answer

Notes section

Answer

Associated View

Answer

Timeline control

Question 9

Which TWO are valid ways to share a canvas app with other users in your organization?

Accepted Answer

Share directly from the Power Apps maker portal. Correct: B and C. The two valid ways to share a canvas app with other users in your organization are: sharing directly from the Power Apps maker portal (B) and embedding the app in Microsoft Teams (C). Sharing directly from the maker portal is the standard method, and embedding in Teams allows users to access the app within the Teams interface. Option A is incorrect because publishing to a SharePoint list is not a sharing method for canvas apps; that's for SharePoint lists themselves. Option D is incorrect because providing a direct link to the .msapp file is not supported; users need a proper share link or must be added to the app's permissions. Option E is incorrect because sending the app file as an email attachment is not possible; the app file is not a standalone executable.

Answer

Publish the app to a SharePoint list

Answer

Provide a direct link to the .msapp file

Answer

Send the app file as an email attachment

Question 10

Which THREE are valid data sources for canvas apps in Power Apps?

Accepted Answer

SQL Server database. Correct: A, C, and D. SQL Server (A), SharePoint lists (C), and Microsoft Dataverse (D) are all supported data sources for canvas apps. Option B is incorrect because local Excel files are not directly supported; they must be stored in OneDrive or SharePoint to be used with the Excel Online connector. Option E is incorrect because Oracle Database is not a built-in connector in Power Apps.

Answer

Local Excel file

Answer

Oracle Database

Question 11

Which THREE are features of model-driven apps compared to canvas apps?

Accepted Answer

Automatic form generation from Dataverse tables. Correct: A, B, and D. Model-driven apps automatically generate forms from Dataverse tables (A), have responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes (B), and include built-in business process flows (D). Option C is incorrect because drag-and-drop layout customization is a feature of canvas apps, not model-driven apps. Option E is incorrect because pixel-perfect design control is a characteristic of canvas apps, while model-driven apps provide a more structured layout.

Answer

Drag-and-drop layout customization

Answer

Full control over pixel-perfect design

Question 12

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's Items property uses the Filter function on SalesData, which is defined as a Dataverse entity 'accounts'. This means the data source is a filtered version of the Accounts entity (only records where status is 'Active'). Option B is incorrect because there is no SQL Server table referenced. Option C is incorrect because SalesData is a Dataverse entity, not a SharePoint list. Option D is incorrect because the gallery uses a filtered set, not the raw, unfiltered Accounts entity.

Answer

A SQL Server table named Accounts

Answer

A SharePoint list named SalesData

Answer

The raw Dataverse Accounts entity

Question 13

Contoso, Ltd. is a multinational company with a global sales team. They use Microsoft Power Apps to build a model-driven app for managing customer accounts and opportunities. The app uses Microsoft Dataverse as the data source. The sales team accesses the app on mobile devices while traveling. Recently, users have reported that the app is slow when loading large numbers of opportunities. The app has a custom page that displays a list of all opportunities without any filters. The page uses a gallery that loads all records at once. The app also uses several custom connectors to external systems, but the slowness is primarily observed when loading the opportunities list. The IT team has confirmed that the Dataverse environment is in the same region as the users, and network latency is not an issue. They need to improve the performance of the app. Which two actions should the IT team take? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Implement delegation in the gallery to filter data on the server. The correct answers are D and E. Implementing delegation in the gallery (D) ensures that filtering and sorting operations are performed server-side in Dataverse, reducing the amount of data transferred and improving load times. Adding a search box with a delegable filter (E) allows users to search for specific opportunities, and when the filter is delegable, the filtering happens on the server, further reducing the data retrieved. Option A is incorrect because disabling real-time synchronization with Microsoft Entra ID would not address data loading performance and could cause authentication issues. Option B is incorrect because simply replacing a model-driven app with a canvas app does not inherently improve performance; both app types can be optimized, and the issue is with data loading, not the app type. Option C is incorrect because increasing Dataverse storage capacity does not affect query execution speed; it only increases available storage space.

Answer

Disable real-time synchronization with Microsoft Entra ID

Answer

Replace the model-driven app with a canvas app

Answer

Increase the Dataverse storage capacity

Question 14

Fabrikam, Inc. uses Power Apps to create a canvas app for expense reporting. The app is connected to a SharePoint list named Expenses. The app allows users to submit expenses, attach receipts, and view their history. The manager wants to add a feature where users can scan a receipt using the mobile app camera and automatically extract the amount and date using AI Builder. The extracted data should be populated into the form fields. The development team needs to implement this feature. Which steps should they take?

Accepted Answer

Use AI Builder's receipt processing model in Power Apps. AI Builder provides a prebuilt receipt processing model that can be directly integrated into a Power Apps canvas app. This model allows users to scan a receipt using the camera, automatically extract the amount and date, and populate those values into form fields. Option B is incorrect because while a Power Automate flow could also process the image, it is an unnecessary extra step when AI Builder can be used directly within Power Apps. Option C is incorrect because the Camera control alone cannot extract text from an image; it requires additional processing like AI Builder. Option D is incorrect because Microsoft Copilot Studio is designed for building chatbots, not for receipt scanning and data extraction.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow that processes the image and returns the data

Answer

Use the Camera control to capture the image and use a custom formula to extract text

Answer

Integrate Microsoft Copilot Studio to handle the receipt scanning

Question 15

Northwind Traders uses Power Apps to build a simple help desk ticketing system. The app uses Microsoft Dataverse as the data source. The help desk team wants to ensure that only members of the 'Help Desk Agents' security role can edit tickets, while all employees can view tickets. The app is a model-driven app. The administrator needs to configure the appropriate security. Which two actions should the administrator take? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Assign the 'Help Desk Agents' security role to the help desk team. To achieve the desired security, the administrator should assign the 'Help Desk Agents' security role to the help desk team (option C) and ensure the 'Employees' security role has read privilege on the ticket table (option E). Option A is incorrect because creating a new table does not control permissions. Option B is incorrect because business rules do not manage security. Option D is incorrect because sharing the app does not grant data-level permissions.

Answer

Create a new Dataverse table for ticket views

Answer

Create a business rule to restrict editing to certain users

Answer

Share the app with all employees using the Power Apps sharing feature
