PL-900 Timed Practice Test 3 — 10 Questions

Question 1

You need to design a solution that sends a notification to a manager when an employee submits a time-off request in a SharePoint list. Which Power Platform component should you use?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate. Power Automate is the correct component because it is designed to create automated workflows that trigger on events, such as when an item is created or modified in a SharePoint list. In this scenario, you would configure a Power Automate flow with a SharePoint 'When an item is created' trigger to send an email notification to the manager, without requiring manual intervention or custom code.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power BI

Question 2

A retail company uses Power BI to monitor sales performance. They notice that the report data refreshes only once daily, but business users need near-real-time insights. What should they recommend?

Accepted Answer

Configure a streaming dataset in Power BI.. Streaming datasets in Power BI are designed for real-time or near-real-time data ingestion, allowing dashboards to update continuously as new data arrives. This directly addresses the requirement for near-real-time insights without relying on scheduled refreshes.

Answer

Export the data to Excel for manual updates.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow to refresh the dataset every minute.

Answer

Increase the scheduled refresh frequency to every 15 minutes.

Question 3

A small business wants to create a custom app to track inventory without hiring developers. Which Microsoft Power Platform tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps. Power Apps is the correct choice because it enables users to build custom applications with low-code or no-code tools, allowing the small business to create an inventory tracking app without hiring professional developers. Power Apps provides pre-built templates and connectors to data sources like SharePoint or SQL Server, making it ideal for rapid app development tailored to specific business needs.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Automate

Question 4

A manufacturing company uses Power Apps to manage inventory. The app includes a main screen that displays a gallery of inventory items, a detail screen for editing item properties, and a form screen for adding new items. The app uses a SharePoint list as the data source. Recently, users reported that when they edit an item on the detail screen and save, the changes do not appear in the gallery until they manually refresh the app. Additionally, some users occasionally encounter a 'Delegation warning' when filtering the gallery by item name. The app is shared with 200 users, and performance is becoming an issue. You need to resolve these issues. Which action should you take?

Accepted Answer

Modify the detail screen's Save button to use the Refresh() function on the gallery's data source after the form submission, and change the gallery's Items property to use a Filter query on an indexed SharePoint column to avoid delegation.. The Refresh() function after form submission ensures the gallery's data source is updated immediately, eliminating the need for manual refresh. Changing the gallery's Items property to use a Filter query on an indexed SharePoint column avoids delegation warnings by ensuring the query can be processed server-side, as SharePoint supports delegation only for indexed columns and certain operators.

Answer

Convert the model-driven app to a canvas app to gain more control over data refresh and delegation.

Answer

Increase the data row limit in Power Apps settings to 2000 to prevent delegation warnings.

Answer

Migrate the data source from SharePoint to Microsoft Dataverse to eliminate delegation warnings and improve performance.

Question 5

A company has multiple Power Platform environments: Development, Test, and Production. They want to ensure that changes to a Power Automate cloud flow are validated before reaching production. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use solution-aware flows and managed properties in Dev, then import to Test, and finally to Production after testing.. Solution-aware flows support managed properties and allow for structured application lifecycle management (ALM). By exporting the solution from Dev as a managed solution and importing it into Test for validation, then into Production, the company ensures that changes are validated at each stage. This approach prevents direct edits in production and maintains version control.

Answer

Edit the flow directly in the Production environment.

Answer

Create a new flow in Production based on a copy of the Dev flow.

Answer

Export the flow as a ZIP file from Dev and import to Production.

Question 6

Which TWO are benefits of using Microsoft Power Platform for business process automation? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

It reduces development time compared to traditional coding.. Microsoft Power Platform provides pre-built connectors, templates, and low-code tools like Power Automate and Power Apps that drastically reduce the time required to build business process automation compared to writing code from scratch. This enables rapid development and iteration without the overhead of traditional software development lifecycles.

Answer

It can be used offline without any connectivity.

Answer

It requires no coding skills for any scenario.

Answer

It only works with Microsoft data sources.

Question 7

A business analyst wants to create a real-time dashboard showing sales performance from Dynamics 365 Sales data. Which tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct tool for creating real-time dashboards because it is designed specifically for data visualization and business intelligence. It can connect directly to Dynamics 365 Sales data via the Dataverse connector or direct query mode, enabling live, interactive dashboards that refresh automatically as data changes.

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Pages

Answer

Power Automate

Question 8

A healthcare organization is deploying Power Apps for patient intake. They must ensure that the app complies with HIPAA regulations. Which feature should they use to protect patient data at rest?

Accepted Answer

Enable Customer Managed Key (CMK) for the Power Platform environment.. Customer Managed Key (CMK) allows the healthcare organization to control the encryption key used to protect data at rest in their Power Platform environment. This ensures that even Microsoft cannot access the underlying data without the organization's key, which is a critical requirement for HIPAA compliance regarding data encryption at rest.

Answer

Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for app users.

Answer

Enable audit logging in the Power Platform admin center.

Answer

Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy to restrict connectors.

Question 9

A company uses Power Automate flows that connect to SharePoint and Microsoft Entra ID. The administrator needs to ensure that the flows can access data only from approved data sources. What should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that restricts connectors to approved data sources. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in the Power Platform allow administrators to control which connectors can be used together in flows and apps, effectively restricting flows to approved data sources like SharePoint and Microsoft Entra ID. By classifying connectors as Business or Non-Business, DLP policies prevent unauthorized data sharing between environments, which directly addresses the requirement to limit data access to approved sources.

Answer

Define SharePoint site permissions for the flows

Answer

Configure data policies in Power Apps settings

Answer

Set connector sharing permissions to limit access

Question 10

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator runs this PowerShell command against a Power Platform environment. What can the administrator conclude?

Accepted Answer

The environment is accessible only to members of the ContosoUsers security group. The PowerShell command `Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment` returns the environment details, including the `SecurityGroupId` property. If this property is populated with a GUID, it indicates a security group is assigned to the environment, restricting access to its members. Since the exhibit shows a non-null `SecurityGroupId` for the ContosoUsers group, the environment is accessible only to members of that security group.

Answer

The environment creation failed

Answer

The environment has no security group assigned

Answer

The environment is a personal productivity environment
