Background
Current environment
Sales representatives submit weekly status reports to regional managers. There is no standardized
format for these status reports. The process for managing status reports is challenging.
Wide World Importers has decided to use Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, and Power Platform for
future app development. Both Wide World Importers and Tailwind Traders have identical Microsoft
SharePoint and Azure configurations. Both companies use separate tenants.
Requirements
Application
You must create a mobile app to streamline the creation of status reports by sales representatives.
You must make the same app available to Tailwind Traders. The mobile app must meet the following requirements:
Minimize the use of code.
Use formulas and expressions when necessary.
Support a variety of visual layouts.
Use a SharePoint list to store information about regional managers and sales representatives.
Use Azure SQL Database to store other data.
Status reports
Sales representatives must provide a weekly status report for all work processes each Monday.
Representatives must enter the following information for each process:
If a sales representative submits a status report and assigns the At Risk status to a process, the app
must prompt the sales representative to enter a detailed description for the risk. This information
must be emailed to the regional manager. If the category is Work/life balance, the information must
be carbon copied to the human resources department.
If a sales representative does not submit a weekly status report by an agreed upon deadline, the
system must send an email to remind the sales representative.
The app must be able to run both online and offline. If the mobile device on which the app runs is
connected to the internet, the app must immediately submit the status report.
You must display a visual indicator in the app so that sales representatives know whether the app is
offline before submitting reports.
When data is submitted offline, the data must be stored in the app until the app is back online.
Technical
Regardless of the UI layouts, the data recorded must be standardized in the Azure DB tables. You
must use global variables in the app.
Deployment
Before deploying the app to production, you must ensure that the app conforms to Microsoft
accessibility and performance guidelines.
The completed app and all supporting components must be provided to Tailwind Traders.
Tailwind Traders must not be able to make changes to any of the components.
You must use the following version control numbering scheme:
Major: The last two digits of the year the app is packaged
Minor: Two digits that represent the month when the app is packaged
Build: A number that is incremented to represent significant changes to the app
Revision: The incremented revision for a package
New versions of the application must completely replace previous versions of the app.
When identifying versions of the app solution, all dependencies, entities, and user interfaces
components must be identified to avoid any unintentional issues caused by reverting individual
components to a previous version.
Previous versions of the mobile app must be available for roll back purposes.
All versions of software that have been used in production must be retained for five years.
Issues
The mobile app has been live for several months. Eight versions of the app have been released since
the initial version of the app was deployed to sales representatives. You must revert the app to an
earlier version and redesign some features.
User1 often works in a warehouse that does not have internet connectivity. User1 needs to edit an
existing status report and submit a new status report.
Several sales representatives have accessibility restrictions. User2 is visually impaired and cannot see
images. User3 is unable to use a mouse.
QUESTION 1
You need to provide the app to Tailwind Traders.
What should you do?
A. Within Managed Properties, set the value of the Allow customizations option to true. Export the app as a managed solution.
B. Use the Share App feature.
C. Within Managed Properties, set the value of the Allow customizations option to false. Export the app as a managed solution.
D. Within Managed Properties, set the value of the Allow customizations option to false. Export the app as an unmanaged solution.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Scenario: The completed app and all supporting components must be provided to Tailwind Traders.
Tailwind Traders must not be able to make changes to any of the components.
Managed Solution: A managed solution is a finalized solution that can be distributed and installed.
They are created by exporting an unmanaged solution by setting restrictions to prevent any further
customizations. The whole point of Managed is locking down the Component states so they cannot
be edited. Deleting the Managed Solution will remove all its customisations as well as data
contained. Managed Solutions become read only once deployed so they cannot be manipulated.
QUESTION 6
You need to provide all app components of the application to Tailwind Traders.
What should you do?
A. Package the application and flow components into a single solution for export.
B. Run the app checker and flow checker prior to publishing each component for export.
C. Export each component separately but use the same version number for each component.
D. Publish the application and flow solutions at the same time before exporting each one.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Scenario: When identifying versions of the app solution, all dependencies, entities, and user
interfaces components must be identified to avoid any unintentional issues caused by reverting
individual components to a previous version.
Power Apps has added components to the rule set that encourages best practices in the Power Apps
Checker. You can check your canvas apps and flows that are included in solutions and then review all
issues in a single, consolidated report.
QUESTION 8
You need to meet the requirements for sales representative that submit status reports.
How should you configure the flow?
A. Add a parallel branch that uses the value of a dynamic content variable
B. Add a number functions action that evaluates the risk value by using a static variable to determine if an email is required
C. Add a condition that evaluates the risk value by using a dynamic content variable
D. Add a data operation action that evaluates a dynamic content variable
Answer: C
Explanation:
Salespeople often do not set status of RFQs in the Sales Log to Won when a sale is closed and the
customer purchase order is received.
Include a dashboard that shows all currently active quotes, their status in the sales cycle, the
probability of closing, and estimated manufacturing and installation dates, by customer, product
division, status, and salesperson.
QUESTION 10
You need to create the mobile app.
Which type of app should you create?
A. model-driven app
B. portal app
C. Microsoft 365 web app
D. canvas app
Answer: D
Explanation:
An accessible canvas app will allow users with vision, hearing, and other impairments to successfully
use the app. In addition to being a requirement for many governments and organizations, following
the below guidelines increases usability for all users, regardless of their abilities.
