Question 62
A user requests the removal of the Fax column from the following form in a model-driven app:
Which form should you open in the app designer?
A. Account
B. Information
C. Summary
D. Alpine Ski House
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
In a model-driven app, you edit the specific form where the column appears. The screenshot/context indicates the table is Account and the active form name shown is Information. Therefore, to remove the Fax column, you open and edit the Information form in the app designer.
Question 26
HOTSPOT
-
You are editing the Power Automate cloud flow depicted in the following screenshot:
You need to perform a step analysis to determine how the flow uses its connectors and the connector components.
What is the result of the step analysis? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: When a new response is submitted
Start an approval
Explanation:
The trigger is the first step that initiates the flow: “When a new response is submitted.” The “Get response details” and “Start an approval” actions share the same connector family (Microsoft Forms/Approvals icon shown), and among the given options, “Start an approval” uses the same connector as “Get response details.”
Question 114
You are implementing Power Apps for a company.
Data from an online proprietary accounting system must be automatically updated every four hours into Microsoft Dataverse without creating duplicates. Only changes to the data must be added. Thousands of records are added per hour.
You need to set up the technology to ensure that the data is integrated every four hours.
What should you do?
A. Create a custom connector.
B. Create a Cloud flow that exports and imports the data.
C. Export all data to Azure Blob storage.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
A scheduled Power Automate cloud flow can run every four hours to synchronize data into Dataverse, using change detection or upsert logic to add only new or modified records and avoid duplicates. This directly meets the requirement for automated, periodic integration at scale. A custom connector alone does not handle scheduling or synchronization, and exporting to Azure Blob Storage does not integrate data into Dataverse.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Show Answer
Correct Answer: No
No
Yes
Explanation:
Microsoft Forms does not support embedding Power Apps.
Canvas apps cannot be embedded directly inside an Excel worksheet.
Canvas apps can be embedded in model-driven apps using the canvas app control.
Question 2
A manufacturing company receives daily shipments that arrive at any time during the day.
A mailroom manager signs for the shipment, and then sends an email from Microsoft Outlook to the receptionist when the shipment is available. The receptionist sends a text message to each driver to let them know that items within the shipment are ready for delivery.
The company builds a Microsoft Power Automate flow that sends the text messages automatically to all drivers as soon as the receptionist receives the email.
You need to identify the component that allows the Power Automate flow to start without the intervention of the receptionist.
Which component should you select?
A. Copilot
B. Connector
C. AI Builder
D. Power BI
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
A Power Automate flow starts automatically by using a trigger from a Connector, such as the Outlook connector that triggers when an email is received. This allows the flow to run without the receptionist manually intervening. Copilot, AI Builder, and Power BI do not provide event-based triggers to start flows.
Question 132
User1 creates several Power BI dashboards for a company. User1 shares a dashboard with User2 who works for another company. User2 reports that she is able to view the dashboard. User2 forwards the email containing the dashboard sharing link that she received to User3.
User3 reports that he receives an error message when he selects the link to view the dashboard. User3 can view a dashboard that he has created.
You need to determine why User3 receives an error.
What is the issue?
A. User3 is running an out-of-date version of Power BI and must upgrade to a newer version.
B. User2 is signed in to the dashboard and must sign out before User3 can sign in.
C. Forwarding the email does not share the dashboard with User3.
D. User1 is signed in using the wrong organizational account for Power BI.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
In Power BI, sharing a dashboard grants access explicitly to the specified user. The sharing link is not a public or transferable link. When User2 forwards the email, User3 is not granted permissions to the dashboard, so access fails. User3 must be explicitly shared the dashboard by User1 to view it.
Question 87
HOTSPOT
-
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: No
No
No
Explanation:
Model-driven app sharing does not send an email link, unlike canvas apps.
Security roles and permissions are not assigned identically across canvas, model-driven, and shared apps.
Personal views do not require publishing (only system/public views do), so both do not need publishing before use.
Question 19
You review a Power BI report about a company's sales data in Power BI.
You open an insight notification and observe that one of the company stores has a higher sales value than the target sales value in the previous quarter.
You need to identify the insight that is shown in the notification.
Which insight is used?
A. key performance indicator (KPI) analysis
B. significant anomaly
C. trend reversal
D. recent trend
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The notification compares a store’s sales directly against a defined target for the previous quarter. Insights that evaluate performance versus a target are KPI (key performance indicator) analyses. Anomalies, trend reversals, or recent trends do not require an explicit target comparison.
Question 280
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
When a sales order is created for one of the customers that a specific user manages, a Microsoft Outlook task must be created to remind the user to perform any follow up activities that are required.
You need to implement the functionality to create Outlook tasks.
Which two features should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. AI Builder
B. Power Apps
C. Business Events
D. Power Automate
E. Common Data Service
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C, D
Explanation:
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management can emit Business Events when specific actions occur, such as sales order creation. These events can be consumed by Power Automate, which can then use the Outlook connector to create a task for the responsible user. AI Builder, Power Apps, and Common Data Service/Dataverse are not required to trigger or create Outlook tasks for this scenario.
Question 231
HOTSPOT -

Question 233
A company uses Power Apps canvas apps.
When a user opens Power Apps Studio in a browser and selects Apps I can edit, they do not see an app that they need to modify.
You need to determine why the user cannot see the app.
What are three possible reasons? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. The user selected an incorrect Power Apps environment.
B. The user has not been granted the System Customizer role.
C. The user has not been set as the app co-owner.
D. The app has not been shared with the user.
E. The environment does not have a Microsoft Dataverse database.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, C, D
Explanation:
In Power Apps canvas apps, a user only sees apps under **Apps I can edit** if they are in the correct environment and have edit permissions. If the wrong environment is selected, the app will not appear. To edit an app, the user must be the app owner or a co-owner; otherwise it will not show in the editable list. Additionally, if the app has not been shared with the user at all, they cannot see or edit it. The System Customizer role and the presence of a Dataverse database are not required for editing canvas apps.
Question 139
HOTSPOT -
A company is evaluating AI Builder.
Instructions: For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Yes
