What is a 'Managed solution' in Power Platform?
Answer: A packaged, read-only solution that cannot be modified directly in the target environment, used for production deployments
Managed solutions lock their components to prevent direct editing in target environments, ensuring changes are made in the source environment and redeployed, following ALM best practices.
In a model-driven app, which form type is used for creating a new record in a dialog without navigating away from the current page?
Answer: Quick Create Form
Quick Create Forms appear as lightweight popups when users click '+ New' in sub-grids or lookup searches, allowing fast record creation without a full navigation.
What is the purpose of 'Column Security Profiles' in Dataverse?
Answer: To restrict read, create, or update access to specific sensitive columns for designated users or teams
Column (field) security profiles allow admins to restrict which users or teams can see or modify specific sensitive columns, beyond standard table-level security roles.
In Power Platform solutions, what are 'unmanaged layers' used for?
Answer: Customizations made in the development environment that have not yet been exported as managed solutions
Unmanaged layers represent active, editable customizations in an environment that can be exported and deployed as managed solutions to downstream environments.
What does the Power Apps 'App Designer' (for model-driven apps) allow makers to do?
Answer: Visually configure the app's tables, forms, views, dashboards, and navigation without writing code
The model-driven App Designer provides a no-code canvas where makers select data components (tables, views, forms) and configure the app's sitemap and navigation.
Which Power Platform concept allows two environments to stay in sync by pushing solution updates from source control automatically?
Answer: Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) with pipelines / Power Platform Pipelines
Power Platform Pipelines and ALM practices use source control and automated deployment pipelines to promote solutions consistently from development through test to production.
