Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You are creating a cloud flow that will use two Update Row actions to interact with Microsoft Dataverse. Neither of these actions are dependent on each other.

You must minimize the amount of processing time require to complete the flow.

You need to implement the actions in the cloud flow.

Solution: Create a do until loop.

Does the solution meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Instead: Solution: Create a parallel branch for the two Update Row actions.

Note: There will be scenarios where we want to run two or more steps simultaneously. Microsoft provides the option of creating parallel branches in a flow so that two or more steps will execute at the same time.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are developing desktop flows for a company.

You need to use Recorder to record steps that you are performing in target applications.

Which recording modes will Recorder use? To answer, drag the appropriate recording modes to the correct target applications. Each recording mode may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: Standard
The application part of a browser (1) should be automated using desktop UI elements. For example, you can use UI automation actions to interact with the address bar or the tabs.

Box 2: Web
UI elements in browser windows
The application part of a browser (1) should be automated using desktop UI elements. For example, you can use UI automation actions to interact with the address bar or the tabs.

On the other hand, the loaded web pages inside the browser (2) should be automated using web UI elements and browser automation actions.

When recording desktop flows, the recorder will automatically distinguish the browser application area from the web pages and generate the appropriate UI elements and actions.

Box 3: Image based
Image-based recording
In some cases, the recorder may not record actions in specific applications that don't meet the appropriate technical requirements. These applications may not expose their accessibility API or have other technical limitations that block the recording process.

As an alternative way to record flows, Power Automate for desktop provides image-based recording. The image-based recording uses image recognition and OCR to locate specific elements on the screen and extract text.

Box 4: Standard

You have an automation solution that uses a desktop flow. The flow reads data from a file that is stored on a UserA’s machine and writes the data to an application. You import the solution to an environment that is connected to UserB’s machine.

UserB reports that the flow fails. An alert indicates that the path to a file does not exist. You confirm that the file present on the UserB’s desktop.

You need to resolve the issue.
What should UserB do?

  1. Move the file to the user’s documents folder.
  2. Change the location of the file to a specific path that is not dependent on the signed-in user.
  3. Modify the action to retry if the process cannot find the file.
  4. Change access rights for the file to allow read operations for the PAD process.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Handling files and their content is essential for most automation scenarios. You can use the file actions to manage files, retrieve their properties, read and write data, and convert them to other types.

Most file actions require paths that specify the files you want to manipulate. These paths can be hard-coded values or file datatype variables.

Similarly, you can populate a hard-coded value or a folder datatype variable to specify a destination folder in the actions that need one.




Note:
Windows has a built-in feature called Environment variables that allows people to store data that can be used by applications. The Microsoft documentation describes Environment variables as: “store information about the operating system environment. This information includes details such as the operating system path, the number of processors used by the operating system, and the location of temporary folders.”

When it comes to automation, there is naturally a need to manage configuration such as file paths. We can use Environment variables to store locations that we can access from Power Automate Desktop.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are designing automation processes for a company.

You need to select the appropriate action for each automation scenario.

Which actions should you perform? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: Create a desktop flow
In some cases, web pages and applications require physical clicks or keystrokes to perform certain operations. You can simulate the use of a mouse and keyboard to automate these tasks.

Simulating mouse and keyboard actions provides an alternative when automating tasks in software that doesn't support UI and Web actions. This option allows businesses to automate any application.

Power Automate for desktop offers a variety of actions that enable you to simulate mouse and keyboard operations such as cursor movements, mouse clicks, and typing.

Incorrect:
* Add an HTTP trigger
Power Automate has a connector that allows a Flow to trigger from an HTTP request. This is useful when you need to trigger a Flow from an external system or when you want to pass parameters to the Flow.

Box 2: Custom connector
You can use Azure Active Directory with a custom connector in Power Automate.
You enable authentication in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), register one of the Resource Manager APIs as a custom connector, and then connect to it in Power Automate.

Box 3: Create a desktop flow.
Desktop flows, Mouse and keyboard actions
Simulate keyboard activity with the Send Keys action. To insert special keys, such as the arrow keys and Caps Lock, and modifies, such as Shift and Control, select Insert special key.

To simulate mouse movements, use the Move mouse action.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are developing an automation solution for a bank. The solution will use a cloud flow and a desktop flow. The cloud flow retrieves sensitive information from Azure Key Vault and must pass the information to the desktop flow.

You configure a Get secret action as shown in the Get secret exhibit.


You configure the desktop flow as shown in the Desktop flow exhibit.


You need to ensure that no one can preview sensitive information by viewing the cloud flow or desktop flow run details.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: No
Secure Outputs is off.

Note: Securing inputs and outputs
If you're handling sensitive data such as sign-in IDs, passwords, and banking information, you can use the secure inputs and outputs feature in Power Automate.

By default, in Power Automate, you can see inputs and outputs in the run history for a flow. When you enable secure inputs and outputs, you can protect this data when someone tries to look into the inputs and outputs and instead display the message "Content not shown due to security configuration."

Box 2: No
Sensitive variables
The input/output variables are not configured to be Sensitive variables.

Note:
Apart from the context menus, you can use the dedicated icon next to each variable to mark it as sensitive or not sensitive.


Some automation scenarios handle confidential information and require special handling of variables that store and use sensitive data during runtime. Desktop flows support the creation of sensitive variables, whose values are masked during debugging in the variables pane of the flow designer.

Box 3: Yes
Data extracted is first available in the PaymentsStatements variable. It is then parsed and stored in the PaymentData variable.
