Power Apps Development Flashcards

In a canvas app, which function allows you to navigate to another screen while passing a context record to it?

Answer: Navigate(Screen, Transition, {key: value})

The Navigate function accepts a third argument—a context record—that becomes available on the destination screen via the context variable.

You need to call a Power Automate flow from a canvas app and receive a response. Which approach is correct?

Answer: Add the flow via the Power Automate pane and call it using MyFlow.Run()

Canvas apps integrate with Power Automate by adding flows through the Power Automate pane, then calling them with the .Run() method and capturing the response.

Which Power Apps formula correctly filters a SharePoint list named 'Orders' where the Status column equals 'Pending'?

Answer: Filter(Orders, Status = "Pending")

Filter() returns all records from a table that satisfy a condition, making it the correct choice for returning multiple matching rows.

In a model-driven app, where do you define the columns and layouts shown on a main form?

Answer: Form editor in the solution's table designer

Model-driven app forms are configured in the form editor within the solution's table (entity) designer in the Power Apps maker portal.

Which canvas app delegation warning scenario will cause incorrect results at runtime with large datasets?

Answer: Using the Search() function with a SharePoint list containing more than 500 records

Search() is not delegable against SharePoint, so it only operates on the locally retrieved record limit (default 500), returning incomplete results for large lists.

You want to store a temporary list of items in a canvas app that persists only for the current session. Which approach is best?

Answer: Use ClearCollect() to populate an in-memory collection

Collections created with ClearCollect() or Collect() exist in memory for the session and are the standard mechanism for temporary in-app data.

In Power Apps component framework (PCF), which lifecycle method is called every time the component's property values change?

Answer: updateView

The updateView method is invoked by the framework whenever bound property values or context changes, allowing the component to re-render accordingly.
