a!gridField()is used to create a Read-only Grid.- The constant
CMS_CONTENT_TYPEadheres to Appian object naming standards in an application named Case Management System. - Using
a!queryRecordTypewith.datareturns a list of records. - When creating a record summary view, use a record data type rule input.
- A best practice for testing read-only fields in an interface is to provide test values by referencing a query.
- When creating a user filter the
a!forEach()function is needed to display all values stored in a constant. - As a best practice, generate dynamic display names for both the Process Model and User Input Task(s).
- Each record in the Summary View is best identified by creating a dynamic record title.
- Process Variables are used to transfer data between nodes in a process model.
- Security inheritance in Appian works by securing the parent folder, so the child folder will inherit the parent's security.
- Pickers are useful because the list is auto-filtered as users start entering letters of their search term.
- Two user types that can be created in Appian: Basic Users and System Administrators.
- A Missing Precedent is an object used by, but not located in, your application.
- A Connected System is NOT a possible Output column for a Decision Table.
- Report Pages cannot be configured within a Record Type object.
- To quickly build an interface using many fields from a CDT, choose Create from Data Type.
- All options are correct (Evaluating the default filter, Generating user filters and their options, Querying for your records) affect record list performance
- The process model cannot be published in the Analyst view in the Process Modeler.
- Applications should be secured as soon as you create and secure your Groups.
- The function
a!localVariables()can be used to define a local variable. - Users who are system administrators do not need to be members of the Process Model Creators group to create process models in an application.
- The domain prefix
ac!refers to Activity Class Parameters. - Users can refine results in a Record's List View by applying User Filters or Search.
optionsis not a parameter ofa!query().a!dynamiclink()should be used to configure a drillable chart.- When a user selects multiple user filters for their record, a combination of the filters using AND results.
- Monitoring View > Process Model Metrics lets developers analyze process memory usage.
- A Basic User needs access to the application and the process model used for the Action to see an Application Action.
- A query used by Dropdown components should be executed within the
a!localVariables()function and referenced using a local variable. - Re-deploy an application instead of using a patch when an application property has changed.
- Branding settings for your environment can be accessed via Admin Console.
a!grouping()can be used to configure a chart if the data source for the chart is a record type.- A Decision object would be created in use case involving determining which individuals have permission to see a record.
rv!recordrefers to a single record, or row, of data.- All answers are correct (Test Automation, Managing Import Customization Files, SQL Script Deployment) are considerations before deploying Appian.
- To view a Site, the user must have access to both the source objects and the Site.
- The function
a!queryEntity()executes a query on a given data store entity. - A user with editor security rights to a process model cannot publish the process model.
- In a flat CDT relationship, there is no explicit relationship between CDTs, however one CDT includes a field hooking the Primary Key of the other entity, to enable queries on that entity.
- Process Models expose a version history for the Developer to review.
- For end users to view data in an entity-backed record, they must have Viewer rights to the record and the Data Store.
- According to the Appian UX Design Guide, adjacent and justified is a recommended label position of read only fields.
- When using the record type object reference, dot notation can be used to select actions, fields, and filters.
- At a minimum, a user needs Initiator permission to start a process model.
- The members of the Administrators group can create, modify, delete, and secure objects in the app.
- Parameterized Process Variables refers to the variables that get created when importing rule inputs from a Process Start Form.
- Design short-lived processes which helps to create scalable process models.
- Someone would go to Process Monitoring View in the Appian Designer to view which processes have errors.
- Column names can be detected when validating that a data store entity maps to an existing table schema.
- Clicking "New Input" in the Node inputs section of the Data tab creates a new activity class parameter.
- Always use keyword syntax for expression rule parameters represents a best practice regarding Expressions.
- System Administrators can create other Appian users.
- New is not a valid status when inspecting application packages.
- Error is not a valid status when inspecting application packages.
- A targeted workspace is needed for users to perform a set of tasks or activities, with streamlined design options that are implemented in hours instead of months best describes a user experience where an Appian Site Work Platform should be used.
- Script Tasks designate a task completed by the system.
- The domain prefix
cons!references a Constant within an Expression. - All other interfaces saved as Report objects are displayed on the Reports tab in Tempo.
- A good way to streamline the presentation of record data is to break up record data into multiple views.

showTooltipPie Chart parameter displays a value when a user rests their pointer over a slice of the pie.- The field in a CDT used as an automatically generated primary key should be
Number (Integer)data type. - The save for node inputs and node outputs occurs at the same time for a node in a process model.
- A Custom Data Type represents the structure of a table, view, or grouping of related tables in the database.
- Text data types cannot be referenced using a Constant.
- All other answers are correct (Other Expression Rules, Rule Inputs, Constans) can be included in an Expression rule.
- The array option for the field should be selected in order to designate a CDT relationship of One to Many.
- A basic user can have access to unlimited sites.
- Data from a single query should be stored and referenced in a local variable if it is to be used in multiple places on an interface.
- The Parameterized Process Variable Name must NOT change in the Context configuration of a Related Action.
- Combination of functions for showing Radio Buttons for users on their PC's, and dropdown for those on Tablets:
if()anda!isNativeTablet(). - When configuring security for an object, it is a best practice to always include Application Administrators.
- Use the
a!localVariables()function to store query data in a local variable whenever the data is used multiple times on a form for correct form configuration. - Process Models DO NOT inherit security from their parent folders.
- Decision cannot be built using the Interface Designer.
- The Update Constant activity can change the constant to a new value, while Increment Constant only adds or subtracts a number (integer).
- A Constant is a literal value that can be called from any expression.
- Patches should be used to deploy incremental changes to your environment by adding a subset of application objects.
- Object View can be used to quickly find which application an object belongs to in the Designer.
- A field in a CDT that uniquely identifies a row of data is a primary key.
- A fast way to create a form in Interface Designer is to choose a form template.
- A Constant should be created if you want to reference a data store entity in your application.
- Templates, Patterns, and Components are the low code tools used to build an interface.
- Forms, Dashboards, Record Lists and Views are pages typically found in a typical Appian application.
- A record list in Appian can be built via point-and-click configuration via low code method.
- Low-Code application development means that an app can be built without coding, using point-and-click configuration, pre-built features and templates, and drag-and drop components and the statement is true.
- Business-to-Business and Business-to-Government is the most common description for the type of work Appian does.
- The value for the date range user filter will always be a list of two values, with null being a possible value is a correct statement for date range filters used in custom Date Range filter with a start and end date.
- Appropriate test cases includes test to ensure output is correct, to ensure denominator input of 0 is handled properly, input of non-numbers give expected results and positive number integers give the expected results.
- Text type can be used to create an interface with 4 buttons and each button determines a different path for the flow.
- If data lives in a relational database or a database table, the record type can access the source data through a cached copy of your database table (if data sync is enabled).
- The record type can access your source data through a Data Store Entity (DSE).
- Appian Health Check utilizes log data and process model configurations.
