Question 1
A company is using a model-driven app to process orders. The company uses a custom integration to add orders to Microsoft Dataverse from two separate point-of-sale solutions.
Order numbers are stored in a column on an Order table named Number. The order numbers are prefixed with the value POS1- or POS2- depending on which point-of-sale system they originated from.
The company creates a calculated text column to store the clean order number. The clean order number must remove the point-of-sale system prefix.
You need to configure the action on the calculated column.
Which formula should you use?
A. CONCAT(Number, “4”)
B. TRIMLEFT(Number, 4)
C. TRIMLEFT(Number, 5)
D. TRIMRIGHT(Number, 5)
E. TRIMRIGHT(Number, 4)
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Both prefixes, POS1- and POS2-, are five characters long. TRIMLEFT(Number, 5) removes the first five characters, leaving the clean order number.
Question 2
A company plans to implement an automated process to retrieve and analyze customer feedback.
The company requires a solution that:
Autonomously analyzes feedback.
Stores results for reporting.
Triggers an escalation for negative sentiment.
You need to design the solution.
Which three components should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. (Choose three.)
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. AI builder prompt
B. Cloud flow
C. Canvas app
D. Business rule
E. Dataverse table
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, B, E
Explanation: Use an AI Builder prompt to analyze the customer feedback, a cloud flow to automate retrieval and trigger an escalation when sentiment is negative, and a Dataverse table to store the analysis results for reporting.
Question 3
HOTSPOT
A company plans to use Microsoft Dataverse to manage sales opportunities. Records will contain confidential financial data that should only be accessible to specific groups of employees.
You have the following requirements:
Sales representatives must only view and update records they create.
Sales managers must have visibility into all opportunities within their organization.
You need to configure security.
Which configuration should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation: User-level privileges limit representatives to their own records. Organization-level privileges let managers view all opportunity records in the organization.
Question 4
A company is designing an AI-enabled solution to help employees review and evaluate customer requests.
The company requires an AI summary to be generated at runtime by using instructions provided by the company, including tone, structure, and required data fields. The Prompt control will use these instructions on Power Apps forms across multiple tables.
You need to store the instructions.
Which component should you use?
A. AI Builder custom prompt
B. Power Platform AI model
C. Dataverse prompt column
D. Dataverse business rule
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Use an AI Builder custom prompt to store reusable instructions, including tone, structure, and required fields. It can be invoked by the Prompt control across forms for multiple tables.
Question 5
A company uses Microsoft Dataverse to manage prospects. The company has a business process flow named BPFA that is associated with the Prospect entity to streamline the prospect management process.
You add a field named Category to the Prospect entity. You create additional business process flows. You apply the business process flows to Prospect records based on the selected category. Users can switch to any other newly configured business process flows but must not use BPFA.
You need to configure the solution.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Change the display order of the business process flows to move BPFA to the bottom of the list.
B. Use a business rule.
C. Deactivate BPFA.
D. Remove all of the privileges for BPFA.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C, D
Explanation: Deactivating BPFA makes it unavailable to users. Alternatively, removing users’ privileges for BPFA prevents them from accessing it while leaving the new business process flows available. Changing its display order would not prevent users from switching to it, and a business rule cannot control business process flow availability.

Question 6
A company is implementing uniform data validation across multiple forms.
The company has the following business logic requirements:
Enforce validation across multiple forms.
Minimize logic duplication.
You need to implement business logic.
What are three approaches you can use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. (Choose three.)
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Business rules
B. Power Fx functions
C. Automated cloud flows
D. Client scripting
E. Instant cloud flows
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, B, D
Explanation: Business rules can enforce validation across forms, while Power Fx and client scripting can implement reusable validation logic. Automated and instant cloud flows run outside the immediate form interaction, so they are not suitable for consistent, immediate form validation.

Background
Contoso Ltd. is a global renewable energy provider that operates wind farms and solar installations. The company is modernizing its maintenance and operations platform. The company plans to implement a Microsoft Power Platform solution for the operations team. The implementation will include Microsoft Dataverse, a model-driven app, and Power Automate cloud flows.
The company is building and testing a new model-driven app named Operations. The solution will support operations managers, regional coordinators, and field technicians. The app must integrate with an external cloud-based system that manages onboarding of field technicians.
Contoso Ltd. plans to improve data quality and enforce consistent business logic across the app and automation processes.
Technical environment
Contoso Ltd. has an Identity and Access Management (IDAM) department that manages security. The company has one Power Platform environment named Production, where all building and configuration take place. Auditing is disabled.
The Production environment has the following security configurations:
IDAM has a Microsoft Entra security group named Contoso Ltd. QA. This security group will assign all members a Power Apps license.
IDAM created a Quality Assurance security role that grants read and write access to all custom tables.
IDAM also created a team named Testers in Dataverse, of a Microsoft Entra group team type. The team is configured for the Contoso Ltd. QA security group. The Testers team is assigned the Quality Assurance security role.
Microsoft 365 environment
All Contoso Ltd. managers are included in a Microsoft 365 group named Managers. The group is NOT enabled for email.
The company shares a SharePoint list with a key customer: Alpine Ski House. Alpine Ski House staff members can add new maintenance requests, which are then checked and marked as reviewed by Contoso Ltd.
Current issue:
A new QA tester joins Contoso Ltd. The IDAM department adds the new tester to the Contoso Ltd. QA security group. However, the new tester is not listed in the Testers team as a member.
Other applications:
A separate software-as a-service (SaaS) solution named TechCheck manages technician onboarding. The TechCheck solution is set up as follows:
TechCheck assigns a unique number named Ref to all technicians.
Users cannot make changes to the TechCheck data model.
Users cannot use the same TechCheck ref on more than one Technician row.
Automation requirements
Contoso plans to use Power Automate to develop a Maintenance Request Approval flow. The flow must meet the following requirements:
Create a Maintenance Request row in Dataverse when either of the following occurs:
An item is added to the SharePoint list by the customer with the Priority property set to High.
Any item is checked and marked as reviewed by a Contoso Ltd. representative.
Seek maintenance request approvals from managers through both email and a Microsoft Teams message after they have been reviewed:
Requests require approval from all managers.
If one manager rejects the request, approval must not be granted.
The result of the approval request must be sent to the initial reviewer in an email. The subject line must set the response as either Approve or Reject.
Contoso Ltd. requires the following table logic:
If a user tries to enter a price greater than the cost on a new Asset row, the row must display an inline error message.
If a user tries to save changes to a Technician row where the TechCheck ref column is empty, the action must be prevented and a message explaining the action must be displayed.
Any updates made to Technician profiles in TechCheck must be mirrored in Dataverse by using a custom integration. The developers building the integration require an index for performant searches on the Technician table.
Data model and app design
Contoso Ltd. plans to use Dataverse as its central data platform. Log storage must be minimized.
Tables
The following tables are required for data modeling and the app design:
Assets: Stores information about solar panels and wind turbines
Maintenance Requests: Tracks issues and maintenance activities. The table must include the following columns:
Request ID (auto-number)
External Request Code (text)
Assigned
Technician (lookup to Technicians)
Report (lookup to Maintenance Reports)
Technician updated (Yes/No)
Maintenance Reports: Tracks the results of maintenance reports
Technicians: Stores technician assignment data. The table must include the following columns:
Full Name (Text)
Mobile phone number (Text)
Email (Text)
Seniority (Choice)
TechCheck ref (Text)
Data modeling
The data model must provide the following functionality:
Maintenance Requests must:
be uniquely identifiable across systems.
have two inactive statuses, Cancelled and Duplicate.
If a new option is added to an existing set of options, it must be made available automatically for selection on all columns that use the set.
A new column named Priority must be added to multiple tables. Users must be able to select only one option from the following set per row:
Low
Medium
High
Critical
Changes to the Technician column on Maintenance Requests must be tracked for compliance purposes. Rows must include the names of previous and current technicians and the time of the change.
Relationship requirements
One asset can be related to many maintenance requests. A maintenance request can have many assets.
A maintenance request can have only zero or one maintenance report.
Only one Technician can be related to a Maintenance Request at a time.
When a Maintenance Request is deleted, any Maintenance Reports associated with it must also be deleted, but this action should be prevented if there is value in the Technician lookup.
When a Maintenance Request is assigned to a different owner, the Maintenance Report associated with it must be reassigned to the new owner as well, but the associated Technician should stay with the current owner.
App design
The Technicians table contains the following public views:
Senior Technicians
Junior Technicians
The Senior Technician view must be available through the table list view selector to a set of specific users only.
A tester creates a personal view named Hot Assets on the Assets table. The tester recognizes that the view is useful for the entire testing team. The view must be made accessible to the team.
You need to configure the Maintenance Request relationships to the other tables.
Which type of relationship behavior should you set? To answer, move the appropriate behavior types to the correct tables. You may use each behavior type once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation: Parental behavior cascades deletion and reassignment to associated reports. Referential, Restrict Delete prevents deletion when a related technician exists without cascading ownership changes to the technician.
Question 8
DRAG DROP
An insurance company is implementing a customer service solution in Microsoft Dataverse to track interactions and manage issue resolution. The data model includes tables for customer information, support cases, and agents.
The data model includes the following requirements:
Link each support case to a customer.
Provide information on the children of customers.
Record history of agents assigned to customers.
You need to configure table relationships.
Which relationships should you use? To answer, move the appropriate relationship to the correct requirement. You may use each relationship once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Link each support case to a customer: One-to-many
Provide information on children of customers: Connections
Record history of agents assigned to customers: Connections
Explanation: A customer can have multiple support cases. Connections can describe family relationships and store assignment details, including start and end dates needed for agent history.
Question 9
A company uses a prompt to generate responses based on internal support knowledge.
The company requires the prompt to minimize generation of unsupported and incorrect information while ensuring responses remain useful.
You need to tune the prompt model settings.
How should you configure the model settings?
A. Decrease the content moderation level.
B. Increase the content moderation level.
C. Decrease the temperature.
D. Increase the temperature.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Decrease the temperature to make responses less variable and more focused on the supplied support knowledge. Content moderation controls harmful-content filtering, not factual accuracy.
Question 10
A company is designing a Power Platform solution that includes a model-driven app used by customer service representatives to manage support cases.
The company is evaluating which solution component to include in the app. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Users must interact with system-generated responses while working within forms and views.
Responses must reflect the current data and context in the app.
Users must remain within the app while interacting with the solution.
You need to recommend solution components for the app.
Which two components should you recommend? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Business rules
B. Copilot Studio agent
C. Smart assist
D. App assistant agent
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, D
Explanation: A Copilot Studio agent can provide conversational, system-generated responses within the app, and an App assistant agent can use the model-driven app’s current context to assist users while they work in forms and views. Both let users interact without leaving the app. Business rules automate app behavior rather than provide conversational responses; Smart assist is not the recommended component here.
