Exam PL-400 topic 1 question 1 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's PL-400
Question #: 1
Topic #: 1
[All PL-400 Questions]

A company manages capital equipment for an electric utility company. The company has a SQL Server database that contains maintenance records for the equipment.
Technicians who service the equipment use the Dynamics 365 Field Service mobile app on tablet devices to view scheduled assignments. Technicians use a canvas app to display the maintenance history for each piece of equipment and update the history.
Managers use a Power BI dashboard that displays Dynamics 365 Field Service and real-time maintenance data.
Due to increasing demand, managers must be able to work in the field as technicians.
You need to design a solution that allows the managers to work from one single screen.
What should you do?

  • A. Add the maintenance history app to the Field Service Mobile app.
  • B. Add the manager Power BI dashboard to the Field Service mobile app.
  • C. Create a new maintenance canvas app from within the Power BI management dashboard.
  • D. Add the maintenance history app to the Power BI dashboard.
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Power BI enables data insights and better decision-making, while Power Apps enables everyone to build and use apps that connect to business data. Using the
Power Apps visual, you can pass context-aware data to a canvas app, which updates in real time as you make changes to your report. Now, your app users can derive business insights and take actions from right within their Power BI reports and dashboards.

"Due to increasing demand, managers must be able to work in the field as technicians." This statement clearly says the managers need to work the same way the technicians do, assuming they would in that situation use a tablet like the technicians and would need to follow similar processes/experience I would have thought it would be more logical to add the manager PowerBi to the field service app but restrict the visibility to the managers role. That way they can work the same as a technician would when they need to perform that role, but still have access to the manager reports when needed. More config to do than the other way around but makes more sense to me to have a unified setup - just me?

Yeah, with D then have to lug a laptop around or awkwardly use the app in the dashboard on a mobile device.

I think it is option B, because option D doesn't fully address the need for a single-screen solution.

Selected Answer: D
Managers use a Power BI dashboard that displays Dynamics 365 Field Service and real-time maintenance data. Based on this info, Managers have the D365 Field Service scheduling assignments and the SQL Server database maintenance records already. But they do not have the maintenance history. So adding the maintenance history in the Dashboard would meet the requirement.

Based on the given scenario, the correct option would be: B. Add the manager Power BI dashboard to the Field Service mobile app. This option allows managers to work from one single screen by adding the Power BI dashboard, which displays Dynamics 365 Field Service and real-time maintenance data, to the Field Service mobile app. By incorporating the Power BI dashboard into the mobile app, managers can access all the necessary information and perform their tasks without switching between different applications. This integration provides a centralized and efficient solution for managers working in the field.

That would depend on wether the datasource supports DirectQuery, no ? (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/powerapps-custom-visual) Following limitations apply when using the PowerBIIntegration.Refresh() function: ... You must use a source that supports DirectQuery and the data connection must be created using DirectQuery method. and according to "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/power-bi-data-sources" Dynamics 365 Field Services is not listed (as far as I can tell) as a datasource the supports DirectQuery. So this question is seriously open for interpretation in my opinion. Personnaly I would go for answer "B" in this case, since it seems less constricted by technical requirements

OK, scratch that, should read the question better... PowerBI indeed already has Field Services data. But what about the "PowerBIIntegration.Refresh()" ? According to the documentation this only works if you create a NEW app... Is it necessary to have most up-to-date data in the app ?

The PowerBI Dashboard already has the Field service + realtime maintenance info. the only thing left is, the history. So add the history to dashboard and they will have everything required to do the job. I think "D" should be correct

Why not answer B? Embed the manager's BI report to the model driven app the technicians are using? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/add-powerbi-visual

Because this would allow the technicians to see the manager's Power BI dashboard, it would confuse the design and purpose of the model driven app, and the managers would have to change from using the Report to using the App. It's more appropriate to include the technician's App within the manager's Report so that the managers don't have to change the solution they are currently using and the technicians don't see information unnecessarily.
