ACD201 Sample Questions Answers

You need to implement a requirement where a third-party system starts a process in Appian. The third-party system can invoke a service only through Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

What should you do to start the process in Appian?

You're executing a performance test of the client's application. You notice that server-side resources are at high-to-critical operating levels.

What should you do to troubleshoot this issue?

Note: To answer, move all steps from the Options list to the Answer List area and arrange them in the correct order.

You're designing a report to show the total number of cases per month grouped by region. A synced record exists for the data source.

Which design pattern is most appropriate in this case?

You have a Case record type with data sync enabled to retrieve submitted support cases.

What is the best approach to limit who can see which records in the record type?

You’re developing a case management application. Currently, users can view a list of all cases designed using a a!forEach() loop from a record query. Users can navigate to the case summary page which shows the case details in a two (2) column layout. Users are also able to update the case details.

During the last round of UAT testing, users reported that the tool was not intuitive to use.

Match each feedback comment to the suggested UI/UX improvements.

Note: Each UI/UX improvement will be used once, or not at all. To change your responses, you may deselect your response by clicking the blank space at the top of the selection list.

You're reviewing the process model built by your team member.

Which two design decisions might cause performance issues? (Choose two.)

You need to connect to an external system using OAuth 2.0: SAML Bearer Assertion Flow authentication type, which requests access to an API on of a signed in user.

This standard has several steps involved with the SAML Bearer Assertion Flow.

Which two steps should you perform to connect to the external system? (Choose two.)

There are two record types, ABC and XYZ, with sync enabled. The XYZ record type is added as a relationship into the ABC record type.

A user has Viewer permission to the ABC record type but does not have access to the XYZ record type.

A site page is presented to the user where the data is sourced from the ABC record type and its related record type the XYZ reference.

What information does the user see on the site page?

What should you use to create a predefined query in a database for ease of use?

A recent Health Check report of your application indicates an increased risk of large context size in the interfaces.

What are two possible contributors to this risk? (Choose two.)

A process was recently pushed to the Prod environment. However, users are reporting that a task on this process is experiencing slow response times when they try to input data.

What is the most likely reason for this issue?

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?

You're designing an expression rule that needs to retrieve employees from a database for a given department and display their full name concatenated with their role in a list for a dropdown field.

Which design approach should you recommend?

Users are experiencing slow load times when retrieving customer records with many transactions.

After using performance monitoring tools, you discover that the following interface definition is responsible for the majority of page load time:

Additionally, both queries (rule!APP_GetTransactionsWithFilters and rule!APP_GetTransactionTypeWithFilters) take approximately 25 milliseconds each to execute when you test them using the expression editor.

Which action would result in the greatest reduction in the load time for this interface component?

You have designed a three-step 'Wizard' form interaction using user input tasks in the process model. The second step of the Wizard must utilize another process model which contains a user input task inside.

Which two methods should be implemented for a seamless Wizard-like interaction for the user? (Choose two.)

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

Your client wants their customers to be able to schedule appointments directly from their website without going to an Appian user environment.

You need to build an embedded interface to be added to your client's web page. The style of the embedded interface should be consistent with the host web page.

Which three custom styling options can be configured in the Themes section of embedded interfaces? (Choose three.)

A local variable is reevaluated every time a form loads and you notice subsequent slow performance of the form.

Which two steps could you perform to optimize this? (Choose two.)

A view is created with the primary table PERSON and is joined using a left join with the APPOINTMENT table on the column "PERSON_ID". There is a one-to-many relationship between the PERSON and APPOINTMENT tables.

A Custom Data Type (CDT) and a data store entity have been created based on this view, with the primary key being "PERSON_ID".

Review the data presented in the PERSON and APPOINTMENT tables:

Which two statements are true when the following query entity is executed? (Choose two.)

You need to assign a user input task to three different groups of users: Group A, Group B, and Group C.

Each task form shares some common components with the following key differences:

Group B will receive a task that includes an additional section.

Group C will only view and enter data for one section.

What should you do?

You need to configure your process model to store the result of an expression rule for every item in a list. Your design must have the smallest memory footprint.

What should you do?

You're creating a synced record type which will store read-only data from an external web service. Data in the external system is updated nightly, and the latest information must be available to users in the morning. Currently there are approximately 150,000 entries in the external system, and this number is not expected to change significantly.

There is an existing integration object and associated expression rule, which when called returns the complete dataset from the external system.

What are two configurations that you must apply to ensure that the latest and complete record set is available? (Choose two.)

You need to configure Appian user authentication against an external directory server. The requirement is to use the same corporate logon information without single sign-on (SSO).

Which authentication type should you use?

You're refining a story regarding a highly regulated form, where information needs to be sent to a regulatory body at the end of each month to ensure that the business complies with laws and legislation. The story only concerns the creation of the form.

You need to create a form that captures information to comply with the regulatory requirements.

Which two questions should you ask the business? (Choose two.)

You're building an application with a review workflow.

Each submission must be approved by three users who can each approve or reject their request, and leave a comment. This action changes the status of the submission to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' correspondingly, and pushes the review to the previous or next assignee.

Which data model captures the workflow requirements appropriately?

You're reviewing the data store performance logs. You notice several items were logged in the generated slow query log file: perf_monitor_rdbms_slow.csv.

What is the default threshold value for a slow query to be included in this log file?
