PL-900 Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform Practice Test 13 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A regional health clinic chain wants to reduce the time staff spend manually copying patient intake details from paper forms into its electronic records system. The IT team has no developers available and wants a solution that non-technical clinical staff can build and maintain themselves. The solution must capture the form data, store it in a structured cloud table, and notify the records team automatically. Which combination of Power Platform services should the clinic use?

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

Accepted Answer

Power Apps, Microsoft Dataverse, and Power Automate. The clinic needs three capabilities: a low-code way to capture intake data, structured cloud storage, and an automated notification. Power Apps delivers the buildable interface, Microsoft Dataverse provides the governed relational table that non-developers can extend, and Power Automate handles the trigger-based notification. The other combinations substitute analytics, chatbot, or portal services that do not fulfill the capture-store-notify chain.
