Exam PL-100 topic 1 question 25 discussion

A for me.

A is the correct answer, because 1) Must connect directly to Excel so it has to be a Canvas App, 2) the checklist data is coming from the Excel Spreadsheet (workbook to track cleaning tasks). B, C and D are all incorrect because they all connect directly to Dataverse (Common Data Service).

A. You should consider creating a canvas app. Here’s why: Canvas apps are ideal for creating custom apps that need to connect to a variety of data sources, including Microsoft Excel. They provide a lot of flexibility in terms of design and user interface, which would be beneficial for creating a checklist for janitors to check off completed tasks.

Canvas apps are a great choice for this situation because: They are designed for creating user-friendly, mobile-ready applications. They can connect to various data sources, including SharePoint and Excel (with limitations). While directly connecting to an Excel workbook might not be ideal due to data security and version control concerns, you could explore options like storing the data in a SharePoint list and connecting the canvas app to it. They allow for building customizable interfaces with features like checklists and checkboxes, perfect for marking completed tasks.

Of course it is A

For the first requirement we were able to answer without any doubts, mobile app = Canvas App, Second: connection to Excel = Canvas App

Yep A is definitely the best

Yes, model driven apps cannot be linked to an excel workbook or sheet as a data source.

Option A is the correct answer: You should consider creating a canvas app.

connection to Excel

It is oviously A because it has to be a mobile app which only Canvas can provide.

Seriously, does someone get paid to choose the wrong answer? Some of these are so blatant

Model driven apps can only connect to Dataverse, not Excel spreadsheets.

How could you connect to Excel using MDA?

my first thought is also Canvas App, but why answer is Model Driven

Canvas App can be used directly via mobile phone, as an App, instead of needing to open the model driven app. Furthermore Model Driven App can't edit Excel Files directly.. It has to be A from my point of View.

A Canvas app does the job perfectly.
