Appian ACD201 Exam Questions Instant Access

Question 1

You need to create a read-only grid that displays support case information. Data for the support cases is mapped to the "Case" record type with data sync enabled.

Within the record, there are fields named "createdDateTime" and "resolvedDateTime". These two fields store the timestamps for when a case is created and resolved, respectively.

The grid includes a column indicating the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved. This column must be sortable within the grid.

How should you calculate the hour value that will display in the column?

ACreate a custom record field that evaluates in real-time, and calculates the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved.

BWithin the grid column, utilize an Appian function to calculate the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved.

CCreate a custom record field that evaluates at sync-time, and calculates the number of hours between when the case was created and the current date and time.

Answer : A

A custom record field that evaluates in real-time and calculates the hours between 'createdDateTime' and 'resolvedDateTime' ensures the calculated value is available as a sortable field within the read-only grid.

Question 2

You're creating an interface object that displays a report of open cases. This interface will be used as the content of a site page.

Users in the "ACME Employees" group must be able to view the report.

Which two steps should you perform? (Choose two.)

AEnsure that the site page visibility permits the 'ACME Employees' group to view the page.

BAdd the 'ACME Employees' group as a viewer on the site object.

CInclude the 'ACME Employees' group as a member of the 'Report Viewers' system group.

DAdd the 'ACME Employees' group as a viewer on the folder containing the interface object.

Answer : A, D

The site page visibility must permit the 'ACME Employees' group to ensure they can access the site page with the report.

The 'ACME Employees' group must be added as a viewer on the folder containing the interface object to grant them access to the report interface.

Question 3

Which step should you perform to identify expression rules that have been causing or have caused performance issues in the past 30days?

AMonitor the runtime of all test cases.

BNavigate to the Admin Console > Rule Performance tab.

CExamine the application server log

Answer : B

The Admin Console > Rule Performance tab provides metrics and insights on expression rules that have caused performance issues in the past 30 days, allowing you to identify and address slow-running rules.

Question 4

You need to configure the security for the synced record type Case.

Your requirements are:

Only users in the "Archive Management" group can access cases in the "Archived" status.

Cases in the status "Deleted" are accessible to no one.

Users in the "All Users" group can already access the record.

What should you do?

ACreate a new user filter to allow access if the user is in the 'Archive Management' group while the case status is 'Archived. '
Configure the record-level security to exclude all cases that are in the 'Deleted' status

BCreate a new user filter to allow access if the user is in the 'Archive Management' group while the case status is 'Archived. '
Configure a source filter to exclude all cases that are in the 'Deleted' status.

CCreate a new record-level security rule to allow access if the user is in the 'Archive Management' group while the case status is 'Archived.'
Configure a source filter to exclude all cases that are in the 'Deleted' status.

Answer : C

Creating a record-level security rule for 'Archived' cases restricts access based on user group, and a source filter ensures 'Deleted' cases are excluded from being accessed by any user. This approach meets both security requirements efficiently.

Question 5

You're making a POST request to the Appian web API. You need to include complex data structures, such as lists or objects, in the request body.

How should you design the API to accept those requests?

AUse query parameters to represent the complex data structures.

BUse XML format to represent the complex data structures in the request body.

CConvert the complex data structures to JSON and include them in the request body as a string.

Answer : C

To include complex data structures like lists or objects in a POST request to an Appian Web API, you should convert the data to JSON and include it in the request body as a string. Appian supports application/json content type for parsing complex data structures in APIs.

Question 6

What are three locations to call an Integration that changes the source data? (Choose three.)

ARule

BWeb API (GET)

CProcess model (Call Integration Smart Service]

DWeb API (POST, PUT, DELETE)

EInterface component savelnto parameter

Answer : A, C, D

Integrations can be called from rules, allowing for source data changes when used in the proper context.

The Call Integration Smart Service in a process model can execute integrations that modify source data.

Web APIs using POST, PUT, or DELETE methods are typically used to change source data via integrations.

Question 7

You're creating an interface to display all the employees of a company on a staff list.

You decide to use a!gridField() to create a user grid to display information from the company's AAA_Employee record, which has 42 fields relating to various employee information. To avoid cluttering the grid, you want to show six (6) fields on the grid.

How should you optimize the interface?

AQuery the AAA_Employee record using a!queryRecordType(), defining the six (6) fields you require to show in the 'fields'' parameterto be used in the data parameter of a!gridFieid().

BUsing a local variable, query the AAA_Employee record using a!queryRecordType(), without defining the six (6) fields you require to show in the 'fields' parameter to be used in the data parameter of a!gridFieid().

CCall the function a!forEach() in a local variable and query the AAA_Employee for each employee separately by using a!queryRecordType() to loop through all employees as defined by a constant to be used in the data parameter of a!gridFieid().

Answer : A

Querying the AAA_Employee record with a!queryRecordType(), specifying only the six fields needed in the fields parameter, optimizes data retrieval and improves grid performance by minimizing unnecessary data loading.
