Read the first 7 Canvas Apps flashcards as text

  1. A Canvas App uses a custom connector. The connector requires an API key passed as a header. Where is this configured?

    Answer: In the custom connector's security definition and connection setup

    Custom connector authentication, including API key headers, is configured in the connector's Security section and provided when creating a connection.

  2. What does the ForAll() function do in Canvas Apps when used with Patch()?

    Answer: Iterates over a table and performs Patch on each record in bulk

    ForAll(collection, Patch(DataSource, {fields})) performs a bulk operation by running Patch for every row in the collection.

  3. In Canvas Apps, which property of a Gallery control determines what record is passed to sub-screens when a gallery item is tapped?

    Answer: Gallery.Selected

    Gallery.Selected holds the currently selected record and is used to pass record context when navigating from a gallery to a detail screen.

  4. When a Canvas App Form control's Mode is set to FormMode.New, what does SubmitForm() do?

    Answer: Creates a new record in the connected data source

    In New mode, SubmitForm() creates a new record in the data source using the values entered in the form's fields.

  5. A Canvas App must display error messages from a failed SubmitForm() call. Which property contains the error details?

    Answer: Form.Error

    The Form control's Error property contains a human-readable error message from the last failed submit operation.

  6. Which Canvas App function converts a UTC datetime value to the device's local time zone for display?

    Answer: DateAdd(UTCValue, TimeZoneOffset(Now()), Minutes)

    DateAdd() combined with TimeZoneOffset() adjusts a UTC datetime by the local offset in minutes to display local time.

  7. In a Canvas App, you need to sort a gallery by a date column descending. Which Items formula is correct?

    Answer: SortByColumns(DataSource, "DateColumn", SortOrder.Descending)

    SortByColumns() accepts the column name as a string and a SortOrder enum value, making it the correct delegable sort function for Canvas Apps.
