PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Test 6 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A company wants to build a mobile app for field service technicians to view and update work orders. The app must work offline when technicians are in areas with no connectivity. Which Power Apps capability should the developer use?

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

Accepted Answer

Power Apps mobile app with offline sync. The Power Apps mobile app includes built-in offline sync capabilities that allow field service technicians to view and update work orders even when there is no network connectivity. Data is cached locally and synchronized with the server once connectivity is restored. Option A is incorrect because while canvas apps can be configured for offline use, the question specifically asks about the capability that enables offline functionality, which is the mobile app's offline sync feature rather than the development tool. Option B is incorrect because Microsoft Dataverse offline profiles are a configuration option within Dataverse, but the enabling feature for offline use in Power Apps is the mobile app itself. Option C is incorrect because model-driven apps rely on Dataverse and can support offline, but again, the key capability that makes offline possible is the Power Apps mobile app's offline sync, not the app type.

Answer

Canvas apps from Power Apps Studio

Answer

Microsoft Dataverse offline profiles

Answer

Model-driven apps

Question 2

A company has a legacy system that exposes a REST API. They want to build a Power App that displays data from this API and allows users to update records. Which connector should they use?

Accepted Answer

HTTP with Azure AD connector. The HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID connector can call any REST API and supports authentication, making it suitable for integrating with a legacy system that exposes a REST API. Option B is wrong because the Office 365 Users connector is designed for retrieving user profiles from Microsoft 365, not for calling custom REST APIs. Option C is wrong because the SQL Server connector is used to connect to SQL databases, not REST APIs. Option D is wrong because the SharePoint connector is intended for interacting with SharePoint lists and documents, not for consuming REST APIs.

Answer

Office 365 Users connector

Answer

SQL Server connector

Answer

SharePoint connector

Question 3

An app maker creates a canvas app that uses a Dataverse table with 100,000 records. The app includes a gallery that displays all records. Users experience long load times. What should the app maker do to improve performance without changing the data source?

Accepted Answer

Use delegable functions in the gallery's Items property. Using delegable functions (such as Filter, Sort, LookUp) in the gallery's Items property allows the query to be processed on the Dataverse server, returning only the necessary subset of records. This significantly reduces the amount of data transferred and improves performance for large datasets like 100,000 records. Option B is incorrect because it involves changing the data source, which is not allowed per the question. Option C is incorrect because increasing the data row limit in Dataverse settings does not address the delegation issue and may even worsen performance. Option D is incorrect because removing filters would cause the entire dataset to be loaded, making load times even longer.

Answer

Switch to a SharePoint list as the data source

Answer

Increase the data row limit in Dataverse settings

Answer

Remove all filters from the gallery

Question 4

A user needs to create an app that shows data from a SQL Server database and allows users to edit records. The user has no coding experience. Which Power Apps approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use the Power Apps template for SQL Server. For a user with no coding experience who needs to show and edit data from SQL Server, the best approach is to use the Power Apps template for SQL Server. This template provides a pre-built canvas app that connects to SQL Server and includes common screens for viewing and editing records, requiring minimal configuration. It leverages the SQL Server connector and provides a starting point without writing code.

Answer

Create a model-driven app

Answer

Start from blank canvas and use SQL Server connector

Answer

Use Power Automate to create a user interface

Question 5

A company wants to build a Power App that can be used on mobile devices and tablets. They need the app to adapt to different screen sizes. Which feature should they use?

Accepted Answer

Responsive layout containers. Power Apps responsive layout containers allow controls to automatically resize and reposition. Option A is wrong because static layouts do not adapt. Option C is wrong because the mobile app does not automatically adapt layouts. Option D is wrong because screen templates are fixed.

Answer

Power Apps mobile app with no changes

Answer

Use of screen templates only

Answer

Static layout with fixed sizes

Question 6

Which TWO Power Apps features allow sharing apps with users who have a Power Apps per app plan?

Accepted Answer

Sharing the app with a security group. Option B is correct because sharing a canvas app with a security group is a supported sharing method in Power Apps, and users in that group who hold a Power Apps per app plan license can then run the app. Option C is correct because the Power Apps per app plan is consumed by assigning the per app plan license to individual users (or via a per app plan environment), which is required for those users to access the shared app under that licensing model. Option A is not correct because co-ownership grants app editing and management rights, not the licensing needed for end users to run the app under a per app plan. Option D is not correct because Dataverse access is a data-permission concern, not an app-sharing or licensing feature. Option E is not correct because sharing with everyone in the organization is a broad sharing scope, not a licensing mechanism, and per app plan access still requires the appropriate license assignment.

Answer

Adding users as co-owners of the app

Answer

Granting Dataverse access to users

Answer

Sharing the app with everyone in the organization

Question 7

Which THREE actions can be performed using Power Apps AI Builder?

Accepted Answer

Form processing. AI Builder in Power Apps includes several prebuilt models. Option A (Form Processing) correctly extracts key-value pairs from documents. Option B (Text Classification) categorizes text into predefined classes. Option C (Sentiment Analysis) detects positive, negative, or neutral sentiment in text. Option D (Object Detection) is not a prebuilt AI Builder model; it requires custom training or Azure Cognitive Services. Option E (Predictive Forecasting) is not available in AI Builder. Therefore, the three correct actions are A, B, and C.

Answer

Object detection in images

Answer

Predictive forecasting

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator sees this JSON output from a Power Apps management command. The administrator needs to change the owner of the app to another user. Which tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Platform admin center. The Power Platform admin center is the correct tool because it provides a graphical interface for environment and app administration, including the ability to reassign ownership of canvas apps and flows. An administrator can navigate to the environment, locate the app, and use the 'Share' or owner-change function to transfer ownership to another user. PowerShell cmdlets can also change ownership, but the admin center is the standard, supported GUI path referenced in PL-900 scenarios.

Answer

Power Apps PowerShell cmdlets

Answer

Power Apps Studio

Answer

Azure portal

Question 9

A company wants to use Power Apps to digitize a paper-based approval process. Managers will review and approve requests through a mobile-friendly interface. Which feature should be used to notify managers of pending approvals?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate flow triggered on record creation. Power Automate can send notifications when a record is created or updated. Option B is wrong because Power BI is for analytics. Option C is wrong because AI Builder is for AI models. Option D is wrong because Power Pages is for external websites.

Answer

Power BI dashboard

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

AI Builder object detection

Question 10

A company needs to build a Power App that allows employees to submit IT support tickets. The app must be available from both Microsoft Teams and the web, and must use Dataverse for storage. Which type of app should be used?

Accepted Answer

Model-driven app. Model-driven apps are the correct choice because they are designed to work with Dataverse and can be embedded in Microsoft Teams and accessed via the web. They provide a structured, data-centric interface that aligns well with IT support ticket scenarios. Option A is incorrect because Power Pages sites are for external-facing websites, not internal apps. Option B is incorrect because although canvas apps can connect to Dataverse, they are not primarily optimized for Dataverse-driven, structured data apps and may require more custom development. Option C is incorrect because Power Automate is a workflow automation tool, not an app platform.

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

Canvas app with Dataverse connector

Answer

Power Automate portal

Question 11

Which TWO of the following are valid data sources for a canvas app?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint list. Options B and D are correct. SharePoint lists and SQL Server are common data sources for canvas apps. Option A is wrong because Power Pages is a website builder, not a data source. Option C is wrong because Power Virtual Agents is a chatbot builder and not a data source. Option E is wrong because Power BI is a visualization tool, not a data source.

Answer

Power Pages form

Answer

Power Virtual Agents topic

Answer

Power BI dataset

Question 12

Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows the definition of a Power App. What can be concluded?

Accepted Answer

The app connects to SharePoint Online. The JSON includes a connection reference to SharePoint Online, indicating that the app uses SharePoint as its data source. Option A is incorrect because the JSON does not provide any deployment status information. Option C is incorrect because the data source is SharePoint, not Dataverse. Option D is incorrect because the 'type' field in the JSON indicates it is a CanvasApp, not a model-driven app.

Answer

The app is deployed to production

Answer

The app uses Dataverse as its data source

Answer

The app is a model-driven app

Question 13

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 14

Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows permissions for a user in a Power Apps environment. What can be inferred?

Accepted Answer

The user is an administrator of the environment. The JSON shows the user has the Environment Admin role, which grants full administrative permissions over the environment. Option A is incorrect because the maker role is separate and not indicated. Option B is incorrect because having an admin role implies access. Option C is incorrect because an admin can perform actions beyond viewing.

Answer

The user is a maker who can create apps

Answer

The user has no access to any app

Answer

The user can only view apps

Question 15

You are building a canvas app to track support tickets. The app will be used by team members who often work offline in remote locations. Which data source should you use to ensure offline data access without requiring custom development?
