PL-600 Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

Box 1: Create and embed a Power Bi radial gauge

A radial gauge chart has a circular arc and shows a single value that measures progress toward a goal or a Key Performance Indicator (KPI). The line (or needle) represents the goal or target value. The shading represents the progress toward that goal. The value inside the arc represents the progress value. Power BI spreads all possible values evenly along the arc, from the minimum (left-most value) to the maximum (right-most value).

In this example, you're a car retailer tracking the sales team's average sales per month. The needle represents a 140 cars sales goal. The minimum possible average sales is 0 and the maximum is 200. The blue shading shows that the team is averaging approximately 120 sales this month.

Box 2: Add an inspection order to the work order form

You can add inspections to work orders in Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Field Service inspections are digital forms that technicians use to quickly and easily answer a list of questions as part of a work order. The list of questions can include safety protocols, pass-and-fail tests for a customer asset, an interview with a customer, or other audits and assessments performed before, during, or after a work order.

Example:

Scenario: Standardized checklists must be stored in the solution for use by inspectors. A copy must be created when a new inspection is initiated.

Dataverse for Teams – built on Microsoft Dataverse – provides relational data storage, rich data types, enterprise-grade governance, and one-click solution deployment to the Microsoft Teams app store.

Dataverse for teams table creation has all of the things that are great about Microsoft Lists, without the major downsides.

Dataverse is part of the Microsoft 365 collaboration and productivity tools. Using federation, applications can connect to Dataverse using the same system user identities and credentials available in an Azure Active Directory based network.

Scenario:

Users must be active employees of Fabrikam.

Quality inspection app: Fabrikam is evaluating Microsoft Power Platform to determine whether it can meet the company’s requirements for a manufacturing defect and quality inspection solution. Each machine produced must be subjected to a quality inspection at various points during production. Each machine must undergo a more extensive quality inspection before the machine can be shipped to the customer.

Business rule can create business recommendations based on business intelligence.

Scenario: Analytics and reporting

The solution must:

Provide metrics including existing and upcoming demand by inspection station, average time spent per user at a station, and average time a machine spends at each inspection point.

Provide metrics per inspector including number of inspections performed by month, and number of inspections per rating type (pass, fail).

Provide a printed quality certificate to be included with each machine.

Box 1: Power Automate flow

Scenario: Inspection orders must be automatically marked for re-inspection should a machine fail inspection. The new inspection order must be created by using the originating inspection order as a template.

Box 2: Business rule

Box 1: Schedule board

Note: The Dynamics 365 Field Service schedule board provides an overview of resource availability and bookings you can make.

When you’re looking at the schedule board for the current day, you’ll see a blue line that indicates the current time of day. You can also see a picture of all the resources listed on the schedule board. To quickly view contact information for a resource, hover over their name to view the contact card.

Box 2: Azure IoT Central connector

Azure IoT Central makes it easy to connect, monitor, and manage your IoT devices at scale. With the IoT Central V3 connector, you can trigger workflows when a rule has fired, and take actions by executing commands, updating properties, getting telemetry from devices, and more. Use this connector with your Azure IoT Central V3 application.

This connector is available in the following products and regions:

Scenario: Information about each machine produced must be transferred to Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Use the Microsoft Dataverse connector when connecting to the Microsoft Dataverse used for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation.

Box 1: Schedule board

The Dynamics 365 Field Service schedule board provides an overview of resource availability and bookings you can make.

Box 2: Azure IoT Central connector

Information about each machine produced must be transferred to Dynamics 365 Field Service.

The difference between IoT hub and IoT central is that IoT is an application platform that simplifies the creation of Internet of Things solutions. IoT central helps to reduce the challenges of implementing IoT development, operations, and management. IoT Central is a fully managed Software as a Service solution.

Note: There are three ways you can use to connect IoT-enabled devices into the Field Service solution:

Connected Field Service for Azure IoT Central

Connected Field Service for Azure IoT Hub

Connected Field Service for non-Azure IoT providers using the extensible IoT provider framework

Need to store the image in the table.

Scenario: The company uses photos of employees to generate employee badges. Photos are uploaded into Microsoft 365 user profiles.

Box 1: Create a lookup to Dynamics 365 Field Service

Scenario: Machines are assigned serial numbers and placed in stock until they are shipped to customers.

Entity lookup: Allows technicians to choose a Dynamics 365 record. In the inspection designer interface, admins must select an entity and a field to display. For a chosen entity, the Name field and mandatory fields are the entity attributes that can be displayed in the lookup.

Box 2: Create a one-to-many relationship and set the behavior to Parental

Scenario: Inspection orders must:

Allow entry of quality ratings of passed or failed for each quality metric identified for the machine being rated.

Be automatically marked as failed if one inspection step rating is marked as failed.

Each inspection order can have one or many inspection steps, and each inspection step has a rating.

Note: Each pair of tables that are eligible to have a 1:N relationship can have multiple 1:N relationships between them. Yet usually only one of those relationships can be considered a parental table relationship.

Box 1: Power Automate

Self-service purchase is available for Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate), Project, and Visio.

Box 2: Azure Active Directory B2B

Scenario: First Up Consulting recruits information technology (IT) workers for temporary or permanent positions at client companies.

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) business-to-business (B2B) collaboration is a feature within External Identities that lets you invite guest users to collaborate with your organization. With B2B collaboration, you can securely share your company's applications and services with guest users from any other organization, while maintaining control over your own corporate data. Work safely and securely with external partners, large or small, even if they don't have Azure AD or an IT department. A simple invitation and redemption process lets partners use their own credentials to access your company's resources.

Note, Scenario:

Workers must be able to sign into a portal by using their own email address. Workers must be required to use a secure method of authentication to be able to view their data.

User security roles must be customized to ensure that users are able to interact only with the specific data in which they need access.

Box 3: Dynamics 365 Field Service

Dynamics 365 Field Service functionality include:

An interactive schedule board helps dispatchers assign work orders to the best resources based on location, availability, skill set, priority, and more. This is done via a manual drag-and-drop method, a semi-automated scheduling assistant, or fully automated with Resource Scheduling Optimization.

The schedule board displays each resource--whether an employee, contractor, or equipment--and their scheduled work orders. Resources and their assigned jobs are also displayed on a map along with routes and traffic patterns in real time.

Box 1: Virtual Table

A virtual table is a custom table in Microsoft Dataverse that has columns containing data from an external data source. Virtual tables appear in your app to users as regular table rows, but contain data that is sourced from an external database, such as an Azure SQL Database. Rows based on virtual tables are available in all clients including custom clients developed using the Dataverse web services.

Scenario:

First Up uses an on-premises system to manage current and historical patient data including medications and medical visits.

The company plans to reference historical data in the existing system. The records held in these systems will not be migrated to the new solution except for medication information.

The solution must provide a worker appointment booking system that can access worker historical job placement data.

First Up staff members must be able to view and update worker records. They must be able to see current and historical job placement data on the same form in the new solution.

Box 2: Lookup (N:1)

Each worker can have many security clearances, so need a 1:N relationship.

Scenario: The solution must support tracking of security clearance information for a worker including the date, status, and certifying agency.

Luggage: Custom activity table

An activity can be thought of as any action for which an entry can be made on a calendar. An activity has time dimensions (start time, stop time, due date, and duration) that help determine when the action occurred or will occur. Activities also contain data that helps determine what action the activity represents, for example, subject and description.

Passenger: Customer table

The account and contact tables in Microsoft Dataverse are essential for identifying and managing customers, selling products and services, and providing superior service to the customers. A customer address table is used to store address and shipping information for a customer.

Scenario: The company has a custom app for managing and tracking passenger luggage. The app uses Microsoft Dataverse.

Agents need to view which pieces of luggage match to each passenger, and then need to add the total on the passenger record.

Scenario: IT staff needs a mobile solution to see IT cases at the top of the menu since this is their primary focus.

Managers need to see all customer dashboards at the top of their menu on their mobile device.

Scenario: Ensure that employees can sign in to all Microsoft apps by using one set of credentials per employee.

Synchronized identity. Synchronize on-premises directory objects with Microsoft 365 and manage your users on-premises. You can also synchronize passwords so that the users have the same password on-premises and in the cloud, but they will have to sign in again to use Microsoft 365.
