Read the first 7 Create Power Apps flashcards as text

  1. A developer needs to implement offline capability in a canvas app so users can continue working without internet access. Which data source supports offline mode natively?

    Answer: Local collections saved with SaveData/LoadData

    SaveData and LoadData functions store collection data in the device's local storage, enabling offline access in canvas apps.

  2. When using the Patch function to update a record in Dataverse, what does the first argument represent?

    Answer: The data source (table) to update

    The Patch function signature is Patch(DataSource, BaseRecord, ChangeRecord), where the first argument is the table being modified.

  3. A Power Apps developer needs to embed a canvas app inside a model-driven app. Which feature enables this?

    Answer: Inline canvas app via a custom page

    Custom pages in model-driven apps allow developers to embed canvas app experiences directly within the model-driven app shell.

  4. Which Power Apps formula function is used to add a new record to a collection without replacing existing records?

    Answer: Collect(MyCollection, {...})

    Collect appends new records to an existing collection, while ClearCollect first removes all records before adding the new ones.

  5. A developer wants to improve canvas app performance by reducing the number of calls to a SharePoint list. What is the most effective technique?

    Answer: Cache data in a collection on app start using ClearCollect

    Loading SharePoint data into a collection on app start with ClearCollect reduces repeated network calls as users navigate between screens.

  6. In a canvas app, a developer uses the Filter function against a SharePoint list with 6,000 items. Which scenario would cause a delegation warning?

    Answer: Filtering by a Date column using Year()

    Functions like Year() applied to Date columns are not delegable to SharePoint, so only the first 500/2000 records would be filtered client-side.

  7. A developer needs to programmatically send an email from a canvas app when a button is clicked. What is the correct approach?

    Answer: Use the Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2() function directly in the button's OnSelect

    The Office 365 Outlook connector exposes SendEmailV2 as an action that can be called directly in canvas app formulas.
