PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
A company is planning a model-driven app for managing equipment inspections. The app must support business process flows, role-based security, and a unified interface across devices. Which two components are required to build this model-driven app? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is treating optional enhancements like embedded canvas apps or Power BI reports as mandatory components, when model-driven apps only require Dataverse tables and a site map to function.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Dataverse tables
A model-driven app fundamentally requires Dataverse tables to hold data and define the schema, and a site map to define navigation. Business process flows, role-based security, and the unified interface are provided by the platform once these core components exist. Embedded canvas apps, cloud flows, and Power BI reports are optional additions, not prerequisites.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A canvas app embedded in a model-driven form
Why it's wrong here
Embedding a canvas app inside a model-driven form is an optional customization for specialized UI needs. It is not a required component for building a model-driven app, and the scenario's requirements for process flows, security, and unified interface are met by standard model-driven components.
- ✓
Dataverse tables
Why this is correct
Model-driven apps are built on Dataverse and require at least one table to store and relate data. Tables define the schema, relationships, and business logic that the app's forms, views, and dashboards surface. Without Dataverse tables, a model-driven app cannot be created or run.
- ✗
A Power Automate cloud flow for each table
Why it's wrong here
Power Automate flows are optional automation and are not required to build or run a model-driven app. Business process flows are a distinct model-driven feature and do not depend on cloud flows. Creating a cloud flow per table would add unnecessary complexity without being a prerequisite.
- ✓
A site map
Why this is correct
The site map defines the navigation structure of a model-driven app, grouping tables, dashboards, and other components into areas and groups. It is a required design element because it determines what users see in the app's navigation bar. Without a site map, the app would have no navigable structure.
- ✗
A Power BI report embedded in the app
Why it's wrong here
Power BI reports can be embedded in model-driven apps for analytics, but they are not required components. The app's core requirements are met by Dataverse tables and a site map, so embedding a Power BI report is an optional enhancement rather than a prerequisite for building the app.
