Microsoft Power Platform Developer practice questions

1. Question 1 of 25

   A company manages capital equipment for an electric utility company. The company has a SQL Server database that contains maintenance records for the equipment. Technicians who service the equipment use the Dynamics 365 Field Service mobile app on tablet devices to view scheduled assignments. Technicians use a canvas app to display the maintenance history for each piece of equipment and update the history. Managers use a Power BI dashboard that displays Dynamics 365 Field Service and real-time maintenance data. Due to increasing demand, managers must be able to work in the field as technicians. You need to design a solution that allows the managers to work from one single screen. What should you do?

   • AAdd the maintenance history app to the Field Service Mobile app.
   • BAdd the manager Power BI dashboard to the Field Service mobile app.
   • CCreate a new maintenance canvas app from within the Power BI management dashboard.
   • DAdd the maintenance history app to the Power BI dashboard.

   Explanation

   "Due to increasing demand, managers must be able to work in the field as technicians." This statement clearly says the managers need to work the same way the technicians do, assuming they would in that situation use a tablet like the technicians and would need to follow similar processes/experience I would have thought it would be more logical to add the manager PowerBi to the field service app but restrict the visibility to the managers role. That way they can work the same as a technician would when they need to perform that role, but still have access to the manager reports when needed. More config to do than the other way around but makes more sense to me to have a unified setup - just me?

      Because this would allow the technicians to see the manager's Power BI dashboard, it would confuse the design and purpose of the model driven app, and the managers would have to change from using the Report to using the App. It's more appropriate to include the technician's App within the manager's Report so that the managers don't have to change the solution they are currently using and the technicians don't see information unnecessarily.

      Managers use a Power BI dashboard that displays Dynamics 365 Field Service and real-time maintenance data. Based on this info, Managers have the D365 Field Service scheduling assignments and the SQL Server database maintenance records already. But they do not have the maintenance history. So adding the maintenance history in the Dashboard would meet the requirement.

      The PowerBI Dashboard already has the Field service + realtime maintenance info. the only thing left is, the history. So add the history to dashboard and they will have everything required to do the job. I think "D" should be correct

A skill's interface is described by a manifest. Step 2: Register the skill bot in Power Virtual Agents Power Virtual Agents enables you to extend your bot using Microsoft Bot Framework skills. First, create a Power Virtual Agents bot and create and deploy the skill using pro-code tools into your organization. Next, register a skill in Power Virtual Agents. Step 3: Register the homework bot in Power Virtual Agents You can use your Power Virtual Agents bot as a skill with Bot Framework bots. The Bot Framework and Power Virtual Agents bots must be deployed in the same tenant.

   Answer

   Explanation

   Box 1: Virtual entity - Initially, defining a virtual entity is the same as defining a custom entity: you specify the entity, attributes, and relationships for the new virtual entity type. You can use GUIDs as primary keys in the external data source. Box 2: Virtual entity - Virtual entities enable the integration of data residing in external systems by seamlessly representing that data as entities in Microsoft Dataverse (Common Data Service), without replication of data and often without custom coding. Virtual entities support create, updates and delete of data in the external system. Box 3: Custom connector - A custom connector is a wrapper around a REST API (Logic Apps also supports SOAP APIs) that allows Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Power Apps to communicate with that REST or SOAP API.

      As of July 2023. Based on testing results by myself. 1. Virtual Table - I was able to create a custom table using SQL Server with primary key as Integer. 2. Virtual Table - Virtual Table was able to handle both read and update out-of-box. We don't need to implement any plugin as get the external system updated. 3. Virtual Table - Virtual Table can be accessible accross all the Dataverse clients. This might be because MS is continously improving the capabilities of Virtual Table.

      I don't believe position hierarchy meets the requirement. It allows users in higher roles to view data owned by users in lower roles. While hierarchy security does allow viewing data across business units, it only does this if you are in a higher-level. The question states the employees must be able to see opportunities from other departments. Access team templates definitely seems like the correct answer.

      No. In order for positional hierarchy to work the records should be owned by people in a certain lower position and then can be accessed by those in higher position - this is not the case with the Employees. What could work is team ownership or sharing indeed.

      Correct answer is C. Navigate to Column options and enable attachments. Explanation: To enable attachments in a table, you need to navigate to the Column options and select the Enable attachments checkbox. This will allow you to attach files to the rows in the table. Here are the steps on how to enable attachments in a table: Go to the Settings tab. Click Dataverse. Click Tables. Select the table that you want to enable attachments for. Click the Columns tab. Select the column that you want to enable attachments for. In the Column options section, select the Enable attachments checkbox. Click Save.

      The correct answer is B. Navigate to Table options and enable attachments. In Power Platform, enabling attachments for a table allows you to attach files, such as PDFs, directly to the records in that table. This is the most straightforward way to ensure that each doctor’s medical license can be attached to their respective record1.

10. Question 10 of 25

    Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than once correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. A university implements Dynamics 365 Sales. Several departments use opportunity records to bid for funding for projects within their own departments. You configure the system to ensure that each department can only work on their own records. Employees in multiple departments often need to work together on an opportunity. Employees report that they are not able to see opportunities from other departments. You need to ensure that employees from more than one department can work on the same opportunities when necessary. Solution: Use access team templates and give access to members in the two departments. Does the solution meet the goal?

    Explanation

    A. Yes, using access team templates and giving access to members in the two departments can meet the goal of ensuring that employees from more than one department can work on the same opportunities when necessary. Access team templates are predefined groups of users that can be used to quickly add members to an access team for a specific record. By creating access team templates for the two departments and adding the necessary employees to each template, you can quickly and easily grant access to specific opportunities for employees from different departments to work on when necessary. This solution allows you to grant access to records to specific users or teams of users, regardless of their department and it will work

       Yes. They allow for record-based sharing of information, in this case, opportunity records, among different teams or departments. Each department can continue to work on their own records as per the existing setup. When employees from multiple departments need to work together on an opportunity, you can create an access team from the appropriate Access Team Template and add the relevant employees to the team. These team members will then have the necessary permissions to view and work on the shared opportunity records.

       The Power Apps Checker application user is a system user account that is automatically created when Power Apps Checker is enabled for an environment in the Power Platform admin center. This user account is used by the Power Apps Checker service to scan solutions and identify issues or warnings with their components, including model-driven apps, canvas apps, flows, connectors, and other customizations. The Power Apps Checker application user requires the Environment Maker security role to be able to scan solutions in an environment. This user account is not intended to be used by individual users, and cannot be used to log in to Power Apps or any other Power Platform service. By using the Power Apps Checker application user, developers can automate the process of checking solutions for issues and warnings, and ensure that their solutions meet best practices and standards, without the need for manual checks.

       Solution checker fails to export patched solutions If a solution has had a patch applied, solution checker will fail to export the solution for analysis. When a solution has had a patch applied, the original solution becomes locked and it can't be changed or exported as long as there are dependent patches that exist in the organization that identify the solution as the parent solution. To resolve this issue, clone the solution so that all patches related to the solution are rolled into the newly created solution. This unlocks the solution and allows the solution to be exported from the system

You must specify the privilege depth and the specific privilege you want to check." . https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/customize-dev/define-ribbon-display-rules?view=op-9-1 So the orders of aswer are: 1) Enable rule 2) Display rule 3) Enable rule

       Option 2 must be "Enable Rule". Display rule can be used for entity privileges: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/define-ribbon-display-rules#control-when-ribbon-elements-are-displayed But questios says "...when the user has write privilege on the record" (not entity privilege), and Enable Rule can do it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/define-ribbon-enable-rules#record-privilege-rule

       Example of using B or D. - A Business rule sets a value in a column - Button visibility rule depend on the value in the previous column - A JavaScript Web Resource is added to the on change event of the same column, so it gets triggered and executes either formContext.ui.refreshRibbon(refreshAll) or formContext.ui.refreshRibbon(), which refresh all ribbon command bars in the current page or only the page-level ribbon command bar, respectively (Both would work in this case) . This would ensure that the button is either displayed or not depending on the business rule.

    SaveData is wrong, which works only on canvas app. Offline capability from MDA in mobile, we need to create profile and enable some entities in case if mobile loses connectivity so that we still have access to those data. Init is to render the grid control and in update view we can write logic to render data in the grid.

Case studies might contain exhibits and other resources that provide more information about the scenario that is described in the case study. Each question is independent of the other questions in this case study. At the end of this case study, a review screen will appear. This screen allows you to review your answers and to make changes before you move to the next section of the exam. After you begin a new section, you cannot return to this section. To start the case study - To display the first question in this case study, click the Next button. Use the buttons in the left pane to explore the content of the case study before you answer the questions. Clicking these buttons displays information such as business requirements, existing environment, and problem statements. When you are ready to answer a question, click the Question button to return to the question. Background - Proseware, Inc. is an industry leading software company with several thousand employees. The company has had some trouble recruiting talented employees. Top-level candidates interview with the company but go on to work for competitors. Feedback from candidates show that some offers were not accepted because the interview scheduling process was unpleasant. The company does not have a system to keep track of the candidates that were not selected. Current Environment - The recruiting process starts when an individual applies for a position on the company website. The individual may have found the position on their own, they may have been officially referred by an employee, or in some cases were contacted directly by a hiring manager and encouraged to apply. Recruiters schedule an interview with a hiring manager and interviews with two senior team members. Each interview results in feedback about the candidate and a recommendation whether to hire or not. The recruiting team manages all information by using a model-driven application. The company has the following Microsoft Dataverse tables and columns: • JobPosting - Hiring Manager - lookup to SystemUser - Recruiter Assigned - lookup to SystemUser • Contact (Job Applicant) - Contact identifier - First name - Last name - Time-Zone Offset - Person of Interest - Yes/No (default) • Application proapplication - Contact identifier, Contact - lookup to Contact - Job Posting - lookup to JobPosting - pro_recruiterassignedid • Interview - Application - lookup to Application - Job Posting - lookup to JobPosting - Recommend - Choice (Yes (0), No (1), and null (default) are the available values) - Person of Interest - Yes/No, No is the default value • Referral - Contact - lookup to Contact - Referrer - lookup to SystemUser - Job Posting - lookup to JobPosting • SystemUser - Manager - lookup to SystemUser - Time-Zone Offset • Recruiter - Recruiter identifier - Recruiter name Applications - There may be multiple applications associated with each job posting. Applications are linked to an employee record if an employee referred the applicant for a position. The same individual can be an applicant for multiple job postings. Interviews - Each interview is performed by an employee and is related to a single application. The interview scheduling process may force potential candidates to accept interviews at unusual times with the senior team members due to time-zone differences. Requirements. Interview Scheduling The system must provide recruiters with a list of team members and their time-zone information. You must create a Microsoft Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) control for the Job Application form to display a list of senior team members who report directly to a hiring manager. • The control must display the current time in each team member's local time. • The control must be bound so that it minimizes the amount of code that must be written. • You must display the list of team members and sort the list to show team members who reside in time zones closest to the applicant's time zone first. You must develop a second PCF control that displays the time-zone name and current time on the Job Application form. You must display the data in the candidate’s local time. Requirements. Historical Information Tracking You must create a process to identify individuals as a person of interest that the company should consider hiring. You must assign each individual a score based on their past interactions. • You must be able to determine the following information about a candidate: - The number of interviews in the past two years and whether team members provided recommendations - The number of hiring manager referrals and employee referrals in the past two years - Whether the individual has any of the 12 designations or certifications that the company considers significant • Only a single referral can be made per job application. The system must be able to support multiple referrals for a candidate. • The system must track referrals even if an application is not completed. Requirements. Historical Information Scoring The automated process must run weekly to assess all candidates. The process must also run automatically when historical information is updated. You must be able to perform scoring by selecting a command button on the contact form. • This new command button must only be visible to employees who belong to a security role assigned named Recruiter. The command button must not be visible to anyone unless the contact form is in Update mode. • A person of interest is defined as having a score of 15 or more based on the following historical information criteria: - Each interview with a recommendation adds two to the score. - Each interview without a recommendation subtracts two from the score. - Each employee or manager referral adds one to the score. - Each designation or certification adds one to the score. • All scoring elements must be recalculated when changes occur. You must assign the score to the Person of interest field. • Values representing totals or scores must be stored in their own numeric fields. • Plug-ins must be used to keep the Person of Interest field on active interview records associated with the Contact. • Plug-ins registered on the update of the Person of interest field must send an email notification when the candidate named in the email is a person of interest. Recruiters must receive the message when the field is updated on the Contact record. • Interviewers must get an email notification when the Person of Interest field on the interview record is successfully updated. Requirements. Design Guidelines - The following design guidelines must be followed: • Schema changes must be made using the method requiring the least amount of storage to meet the requirement. • Out-of-the-box functionality must be used when possible. • Any code required to calculate scores must be able to be run from a single point. • Email notifications need to be kept to a minimum. Issues - • Recruiters report that the command button to score a candidate is not working. You debug the code and observe that the context input parameter is null. • The system does not support associating designations and certifications with candidates. • The value for the field used by the PCF control to display local time is saved to Microsoft Dataverse each time an active application record is opened. • Interviewers report that they do not receive email notifications when interview records are created for an existing person of interest. You need to resolve the issue with the new command button. What should you do?

       Correct! I was confused at the beginning but the thing is that here we are talking about adding the Javascript to a command button (Editing the command bar), not editing the form and adding it to an event. So, based on the documentation, answer is D. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/use-command-designer#use-javascript-for-actions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/pass-data-page-parameter-ribbon-actions#form-and-grid-context-in-ribbon-actions

       Why is not C, in the GUI you have an option to pass context execution, if not selected, during the runtime the primarycontrol value will be null, as far as I remember from experience. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/clientapi-execution-context?tabs=pass-execution-context-legacy

    HOTSPOT - A manufacturing company takes online orders. The company requires automatic validation of order changes. Requirements are as follows: ✑ If validation is successful, the order changes must be submitted. ✑ If exceptions are encountered, a message must be shown to the customer and the order changes must not be submitted. You need to set up and deploy a plug-in that encapsulates the rules. Which options should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:

    Answer

    Explanation

    Box 1: PreValidation - PreValidation: For the initial operation, this stage will occur before the main system operation. This provides an opportunity to include logic to cancel the operation before the database transaction. Box 2: Synchronous - Ideally, you should only cancel operations using synchronous plug-ins registered in the PreValidation stage. Box 3: Pre Image - Box 4: throw .. When you throw an InvalidPluginExecutionException exception within a synchronous plug-in an error dialog with your message will be displayed to the user.

       PreValidation stage is nor recommended for use due to security concerns. Pre Operation shall be the answer

       first one is correct. It's PreValidation. as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/event-framework#event-execution-pipeline, PreValidation provides an opportunity to include logic to cancel the operation, whereas for PreOperation, avoid cancelling an operation here because of performance impact.

       No it shall not. As written in microsoft documentation: PreValidation - This provides an opportunity to include logic to cancel the operation before the database transaction. PreOperation - Avoid cancelling an operation here. Canceling will trigger a rollback of the transaction and have significant performance impact. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/event-framework

       Sorry, but I disagree... maybe i'm wrong but... Prevalidation would be the best option to cover "If validation is sucessful...", but not for "If exceptions are encountered..". Nothing is done at this momment at the database, so we can not be sure all the update operation (entire operation) will be done.. To be sure that the update operation (and all another process, plugins, etc, etc that can be triggered on a order update) the stage would be "PostOperation": At this momment all the operations has been done and we can be sure that all the process is fine. If a exception is encountered, we can throw an exception and rollback. So in my opinion: PostOperation (we cover all possible exceptions in the operation) Synchronous (need show an error to user) PreImage (we already have the post values in "target" because we are in Post stage) Throw new Invalid.....
