Configuring AI Prompts for Case Summaries in Power Apps
Short answer
AD Define a prompt that references the case fields and create the column by using the prompt data type to enable AI-generated summaries.
Question
You must provide employees with a summary of case information derived from multiple columns without requiring a manual review of the data.
The solution has the following requirements:
Generate a case summary following the given instructions.
Include the context of the current record in the generated output.
You need to configure the solution.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Key Takeaways
The trap is choosing formula columns or business rules; only the Prompt data type supports calling AI Builder models for text generation.
Learn how to use Prompt data types and field referencing in Microsoft Power Apps to automatically generate AI summaries of Dataverse records.
Common mistake: Choosing B (Formula column) because it automates field population, but formulas cannot invoke external AI services for natural language processing.
Expert Analysis
The requirement is to generate a case summary derived from multiple columns using AI, without manual review. This points directly to AI Builder prompts in Power Apps.
First, the mechanism for generating text summaries from data is the Prompt column type (Option D). This data type allows you to define how an AI model processes input fields and returns generated text. Without creating this specific column type, no AI generation can occur.
Second, to make the prompt functional, you must configure it. Option A states "Define a prompt that references the case fields." This is the necessary configuration step where you specify which Dataverse columns (e.g., Description, Category) serve as the context for the AI model to summarize.
Why others are wrong:
- B (Formula column): Formula columns support basic logic but do not have native capabilities to call external AI models for natural language summarization.
- C (Business rule): Business rules handle simple conditional logic (show/hide fields, set values) and cannot perform complex AI-driven text generation.

Exam Strategy
When asked about 'generating' text, 'summarizing', or 'analyzing' unstructured data in Power Platform, immediately look for AI Builder components like Prompt columns or Analyze Unstructured Data controls. Avoid standard automation tools like Business Rules or simple Formulas, as they lack LLM integration capabilities.
