Updates to the exam
Our exams are updated periodically to reflect skills that are required to perform a role. We have included two versions of the Skills Measured objectives depending on when you are taking the exam.
We always update the English language version of the exam first. Some exams are localized into other languages, and those are updated approximately eight weeks after the English version is updated. While Microsoft makes every effort to update localized versions as noted, there may be times when the localized versions of an exam are not updated on this schedule. Other available languages are listed in the Schedule Exam section of the Exam Details webpage. If the exam isn’t available in your preferred language, you can request an additional 30 minutes to complete the exam.
Note
The bullets that follow each of the skills measured are intended to illustrate how we are assessing that skill. Related topics may be covered in the exam.
Note
Most questions cover features that are general availability (GA). The exam may contain questions on Preview features if those features are commonly used.

You need to modify the CashDisc form to meet the requirements.
Which objects should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Scenario: CashDisc form
You must extend the CashDisc form to add a new field named MinimumInvoiceAmount to the form.
You must add a new Extended Data Type to the extension model for the new field. The new field
must be added above the discount method field. The field must display 10 characters.

Often, the information that is stored in existing tables doesn’t satisfy customer requirements.
Therefore, additional tables must be created, and data from those tables must be shown on pages.
You can add new data sources to existing forms through extension. Follow these steps.
In the extension model, create a form extension for the selected form.
Right-click the form extension, and then select New Data Source.
