Question 1

You have a record type, ABC_Author, backed by a database table.

You need to retrieve the total number of authors without loading all the data.

According to Appian best practices, which code snippet accomplishes this goal in the most efficient way?

A)

B)

C)



Answer : B

According to Appian best practices, the most efficient way to retrieve the total number of authors without loading all the data is to use a query that includes an aggregation function. Option B uses an aggregation field with a COUNT function, which is designed to return the number of rows that match a query without the need to retrieve and load all row data, thus optimizing performance.

Question 2

A customer wants to display a small toolbar with three icons - a "sad face," a "face with neutral expression," and a "happy face" - on the bottom of every page in their application.

Users will be instructed to use the icon that best expresses their current experience using the application. This will allow the customer to collect valuable data about users.

Which object type should be called from each page to implement this feature?



Answer : A

In Appian, interfaces are used to design and render user interface elements, allowing for the creation of custom layouts and components that can interact with users. In this scenario, the toolbar with emotion icons is a UI element that needs to be consistently presented across various pages. Using an interface ensures that these icons can be interactively used by users to express their sentiments, and the data collected can be analyzed for user experience insights. Interfaces are capable of embedding such UI elements and can be invoked or included across multiple pages within an application, making them the ideal choice for this requirement. Reference:

Appian Documentation on Interfaces: Provides detailed guidance on how to design and use interfaces to create user-centric UI components.


Question 3

You need to pass data into a process from other parts of your Appian application.

Which configuration is required in your process model?



Answer : B

To pass data into a process from other parts of an Appian application, you need to configure process variables. This is done on the Data Management tab within the Process Model Properties. Here, you can define process variables that can receive data from external sources, such as interfaces, other processes, or direct user input, when the process is started. These variables serve as placeholders for the data that will be used throughout the execution of the process. Reference: Appian Documentation - Process Model Properties


Question 4

Which Appian feature can help the implementation team analyze the event log data of an existing process?



Answer : B

vent logs. It uses the data from process models to give insights into process performance, bottlenecks, and compliance with the designed process flow. This feature is valuable for understanding the actual performance of business processes and for identifying areas for improvement. Reference: Appian Documentation - Process Mining


Question 5

You are configuring a local variable on an interface to store the date and time that the username field was last modified. The local variables are currently configured as follows:

Which a!refreshVariable configuration should be added so that local!usernameLastModified stores the correct timestamp?



Answer : B

The a!refreshVariable function should be configured to refresh when the local!username variable changes. This is achieved by setting the refreshOnVarChange parameter to local!username, which will update the local!usernameLastModified variable with the current timestamp whenever local!username is modified.

Appian Documentation: a!refreshVariable Function


Question 6

Review the following code snippet:

displayvalue(1, {0, 1, 2}, {"Low", "Medium", "High"}, "Unknown")

The definition of displayvalue is:

Tries to match a value in a given array with a value at the same index in a replacement array and returns either the value at the same index or a default value if the value is not found.

What does this code snippet return?



Answer : B

The displayvalue() function matches a given value with an array and returns the value at the same index from a replacement array or a default value if not found. In the snippet displayvalue(1, {0, 1, 2}, {'Low', 'Medium', 'High'}, 'Unknown'), the value 1 is matched in the array {0, 1, 2} at index 1. The function then returns the value at index 1 in the array {'Low', 'Medium', 'High'}, which is 'Medium'. Reference: Appian Expression Language Documentation - Functions


Question 7

You are creating a form used to order a pizz

a. You use a radio button component for the selection.

The pizza selection labels include a list of toppings. You do not want the selection labels to be truncated.

Which layout should you choose?



Answer : C

For a pizza ordering form where you do not want the radio button selection labels to be truncated, the Stacked layout is the most appropriate. This layout will list the options vertically, giving each one adequate space and preventing truncation, which is particularly useful when the labels include longer text, such as a list of toppings.
