Question #6
You need to configure the RailStatusUpdater cloud flow.
What should you do?
What should you do?
- ACreate a JavaScript function to update the run mode values of each action within the desktop flow.
- BManually update each desktop flow action to change the run mode.
- CCreate a desktop flow to update the run mode values of each action within the cloud flow.
- DCreate an environment variable. Update each desktop flow action to read the variable.Most Voted
Correct Answer:
D
D

For configuring the RailStatusUpdater cloud flow efficiently, leveraging environment variables is the way to go. This approach allows you to store the run mode status externally and have each desktop flow action reference this variable. This strategy not only centralizes control but also simplifies updates or changes to the run mode without altering each action manually. This ensures consistency and reduces the error margin across all flows.

Background:
Contoso Pharmaceuticals distributes specialty pharmaceuticals, ingredients, and raw materials throughout North America. The company has 33 offices and 12 warehouses across the US, Mexico, and Canada. As their customers’ needs grow in sophistication, Contoso wants to delight customers with breakthrough products, exceptional service, and on-time delivery of materials. They want to automate time consuming and manual processes that are prone to error. Contoso wants to consolidate and automate ordering and fulfillment processes.
* The company has a fleet of 500 delivery trucks. The company has 150 drivers and uses third-party contractors to deliver goods.
* The company has 400 warehouse workers and 30 finance clerks.
* Contoso has 85 sales representatives and 50 customer service representatives. Sales representatives spend most of their time on the road visiting customers or prospects.
* The IT department consists of four system administrators and six system analysts.
Current environment:
Contoso Pharmaceuticals has a custom enterprise resource management (ERP) system. It is difficult to integrate other applications and services with the system. Office staff manually key in purchase orders, customer orders, and invoices after they receive a scan or hard copy of an agreement.
Applications:
* The company uses a custom supplier management system named SMSApps that runs on each user’s workstation. The system is costly to run and maintain. SMSApp does not have an API.
* Sales representatives manage customer requests by using Dynamics 365 Sales.
* Contoso has Microsoft Power Platform development, user acceptance testing (UAT), and production environments.
* Administrators create one Accounts Payable (AP) mailbox for each environment to support testing.
* The use of a DLP policy and Desktop Flow development is specified as part of the automation requirements.
Business Process:
1. Sales representatives create quotes by using a Microsoft Word document template. The template allows representatives to include product, quantity, and cost estimation details that will be needed to fulfil an order. The representative converts quotes to a PDF file and emails the file to the customer for approval.
2. The sales representative alerts the finance team about the new order and emails the finance team a copy of the quote for processing.
3. The finance team prints the quote and manually creates a purchase order (PO) into SMSApp to request materials from a known and trusted vendor.
4. The SMSApp distributes the PO to stakeholders. The system sends a copy to a shared finance team mailbox.
5. Once a PO is fulfilled by a vendor, the system sends an email to the finance mailbox. The finance team releases an order to the warehouse.
6. Materials are shipped from the vendor to one of Contoso’s warehouses. Warehouse workers enter key information from the waybill into SMSApp. The materials are unloaded and racked in the warehouse until they are shipped to customers.
7. Upon checking for new daily orders in SMSApp, they see an open order is pending that is awaiting the newly received materials.
8. The Warehouse worker loads an order onto a truck for delivery and marks the order as complete in SMSApp.
9. Sales representatives provide fulfillment status and tracking information for orders.
10. A finance clerk prepares an invoice and sends the invoice to the customer by email. The clerk sends a copy of the email to the shared AP mailbox.
11. The AP team monitors the shared mailbox to confirm that the customer has paid the invoice.
Functional requirements:
* Large volume orders must be processed before other orders.
* Invoices must be cross-checked with received items against packing slip for shipments.
* The finance team must be able to analyze patterns in transactional data to conduct fraud prevention activities.
* You must automate the process of entering data about incoming orders into SMSApp.
* The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
Purchase Order Quantity flow:
* You must create an unmanaged solution to update purchase order details in SMSApp. The flow must use a manual trigger.
* Members of Accounts Payable team will be testers for the solution. They must be able to access the Purchase Order Quantity flow.
Flow for processing invoice data:
* You must create a flow to monitor the AP mailbox. When an invoice arrives as an attachment in the inbox, the flow must automatically process the invoice data by using a form processing model. The flow must cross-check the received items against the packing slip.
* You must use different Accounts Payable email addresses for development, user acceptance testing (UAT), and production environments.
* You must use an environment variable to represent the Accounts Payable mailbox for the environment in use.
* You must be able to use the environment variable across multiple cloud flows, a custom connector, and a canvas app.
Technical requirements:
* Users must only be allowed to connect to and access systems that are required for the employee to perform required job tasks.
* All automation flows must be either co-owned or shared between staff.
* All employees must be able to access the new environment to build personal productivity automations.
* You must distribute the workload for desktop flows to optimize productivity.
Monitor flows:
* All data extracted from Invoices should be stored in a custom Dataverse entity. Only employees who are part of Finance role should be able to edit all Invoice data but must be prevented from creating or deleting one.
Invoice data:
All users report that they can see and modify invoice data.
New environment:
* The IT department creates a new environment. A user creates a cloud flow named FlowA in the environment that triggers a desktop flow. A user reports that the cloud flow does not trigger the desktop flow to run.
* Microsoft Dataverse is not provisioned in the new environment. You attempt to create a Desktop flow in the default environment but receive a Dataverse error message and cannot proceed.

You need to configure permissions for the Purchase order quantity flow.
Which permission should you assign?
- ACo-owner
- BUser
- CRun-only userMost Voted
- DOwner
Correct Answer:
C
C

The correct choice of giving Accounts Payable team the "Run-only user" permission for the Purchase Order Quantity flow reflects the desire to restrict their abilities to merely run the flow without the authority to edit or modify its configuration. This setup ensures that while the team can execute the flow to perform necessary actions, they cannot alter the flow’s structure or settings, thus adhering to controlled access principles and maintaining the integrity of the flow's setup in the system.

- ETrigger the flow by using an on-premises data gateway.
Correct Answer:
BDE
BDE

The correct actions to resolve the fulfillment status flow issue include ensuring all users are logged off the target machine to allow unattended execution, not using elevated privileges when the desktop flow is triggered by a cloud flow, and triggering the flow using an on-premises data gateway for maintaining a connection between cloud and desktop flows. It's essential to understand that the mechanism for elevated privileges in desktop flows does not impact actions when triggered by cloud flows, as these require no elevated rights to execute effectively.

Correct Answer:
BDE
BDE

For enhancing security to manage invoice data, three essential actions involve configuring permissions and roles correctly. Specifically, the correct approach is to select the Finance role and then navigate to the relevant Custom Entities table, adjust security roles within the Microsoft Power Platform admin center, and set nuanced permissions tailored to the Business unit for Read and Write access, ensuring Create and Delete permissions are restricted. These steps ensure that access to invoice data is appropriately controlled and limited to necessary interactions within specified roles and data scopes.
