[All PL-400 Questions]

A company uses a model-driven app to record details of laboratory test.

You are asked to create a custom component that makes it easier to capture multiple values from lab test results on mobile devices.

You need to create the interface for the dataset in case the mobile devices lose connection to the network.

Which method should you use?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Use LoadData and SaveData for basic data storage while offline.

Note:

When building mobile apps, one of the most common scenarios app makers face is how to enable their users be productive in situations where there is limited or no connectivity at all. This has been one of the most requested features for PowerApps to allow running apps while being disconnected and to provide some support for offline data caching. In this release of PowerApps, we are delivering the first set of improvements for app makers to achieve that by enabling:

Launching the PowerApps mobile player app offline

Running apps while being offline

Determine when your app is online or offline or in a metered connection by using the Connection signal object.

Leverage existing formulas such as LoadData and SaveData for basic data storage while offline.

Wait, can we really save data offline like that? Sounds risky!

Not so sure about that, what if the data gets lost?

I think SaveData is the way to go for offline support.

I feel like init could be important for setting things up, but I’m leaning towards SaveData for actually storing the results when the connection drops.

I’m a bit confused about updateView and its role here. Does it really help with capturing data when offline?

I think we might need to use SaveData for offline scenarios, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right choice.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to handle data loss, and SaveData seemed to be the go-to method for that.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to think through the typical project closeout process.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. The different ways they've phrased the options are confusing me. I'll need to take a step back and think through the definition of receivable turnover to figure out the right approach.
