PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
An organization needs to create a custom app that displays data from Dynamics 365 Sales and allows users to update records. The app should automatically generate a responsive UI based on the data model. Which type of app should they build?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse canvas apps (which require manual UI design) with model-driven apps (which auto-generate UI from data), leading them to choose canvas apps because they think 'custom app' means full control over the interface, ignoring the 'automatically generate a responsive UI' requirement.

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
✓
Model-driven app
A model-driven app is the correct choice because it automatically generates a responsive UI based on the underlying data model (e.g., Dynamics 365 Sales entities like Account, Contact, Opportunity). It provides built-in forms, views, and business process flows that allow users to view and update records without manual UI design, aligning with the requirement for automatic UI generation and data update capabilities.
