PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
A healthcare organization needs a Power Apps app to track patient visit data. The data must be stored in Microsoft Dataverse, and the app should automatically generate a timeline of visits for each patient. Which app type is most suitable?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates choose Canvas app because they think custom UI is needed for a timeline, but model-driven apps already include a native timeline component that automatically binds to Dataverse relationships, making it the correct choice for structured data tracking.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Model-driven app
A model-driven app is the most suitable choice because it is designed for complex, data-centric business applications that require rich relational data modeling, automated business logic, and built-in timeline controls. Dataverse provides the underlying relational storage, and model-driven apps natively support timeline components that automatically aggregate and display patient visit records in chronological order without custom development.
