PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
Which THREE components are part of a model-driven app in Power Apps? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse canvas app components (like galleries and screens) with model-driven app components, because both are part of Power Apps but serve different app types and design paradigms.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Views
In a model-driven app, the core building blocks are defined by the data model and the Dataverse metadata, so Tables (C) are correct because they define the entities, columns, and relationships that store the app's data. Views (B) are correct because they are saved queries that determine how records from a table are listed and filtered in the app's navigation. Forms (D) are correct because they define the layout and fields used to create, view, and edit records in a model-driven app. Galleries (A) and Screens (E) are not part of model-driven apps; they are canvas app controls and containers used to build pixel-perfect, free-form layouts.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Galleries
Why it's wrong here
Galleries are a canvas-app control for displaying repeating records, not a model-driven component; model-driven apps build views, forms and dashboards from the data model. It is tempting because galleries appear in every canvas app tutorial, and they would be the right choice when designing a pixel-perfect canvas app with custom layouts.
- ✓
Views
Why this is correct
Views are saved queries defining which records and columns appear in a model-driven app's grid, and they are core metadata components alongside tables, forms, charts and dashboards. They shape the app's list presentation, satisfying the component requirement in the stem.
- ✓
Tables
Why this is correct
Tables are the Dataverse entities storing the data that model-driven apps render, forming the underlying data model. They are foundational components alongside views, forms, charts and dashboards, satisfying the stem's requirement for model-driven app components.
- ✓
Forms
Why this is correct
Forms define the data-entry and display layout bound to a table, and they are standard model-driven app components alongside tables, views, charts and dashboards. They control how users create and edit records, satisfying the component requirement in the stem.
- ✗
Screens
Why it's wrong here
Screens belong to canvas apps, where each screen holds controls and navigation; model-driven apps instead derive pages from tables, forms and views. It is tempting because screens are the first thing taught in Power Apps, and they would be correct when building a canvas app with bespoke navigation and layout.
