ACD201 Sample Questions Answers

What are three ways to optimize the memory usage of a process model? (Choose three.)

You need to create a new database schema using a connected data source system.

What should you do?

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

You need to create a process workflow for employee background investigations. This workflow takes an average of six months from start to completion. There are multiple phases to the background investigation which must be completed by people in different departments. Each department is responsible for inputting a large amount of data as part of the workflow.

There is an emphasis on process memory management since thousands of these investigations will happen concurrently.

What are two best practices that you should employ when designing this process workflow? (Choose two.)

You're building a new application to track job applications for a local health club.

The owner wants to have one group of individuals perform the initial application review for completeness, a second group to manage the interview process, and a third group to make the actual hiring decisions.

Which design element should be implemented to best support a memory efficient application?

You're designing an integration object with JSON (application/json) as the content type.

Which two data types can be automatically converted to JSON in Appian? (Choose two.)

You're developing a user input form for a financial services application.

One component of this form requires you to embed an external site (in the form of a URL) that can receive inputs from Appian and return updates as the user interacts with it.

What should you do?

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

You're building an order management system.

You need to create a field that displays the total number of days it took to deliver each order, and show and sort by this data in a read-only grid. The data must be available in real-time.

Which function is the most appropriate for calculating this value?

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.

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?

An application consists of a record type with sync enabled. This record type is used as a source to create a read-only grid.

A field "Number of days since created" is configured in the interface and a logic is implemented to calculate the number of days since a record is created in the application.

You need to implement sorting on this field.

What should you do?

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 behalf of a signed in user.

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

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

You need to write an expression to retrieve a list of all account managers who don't currently have an active customer account.

Which code snippet should you use?

A)

B)

C)

A seamless user experience (UX) is important for an application so that a user does not feel like they are moving through different applications. Often when many developers are working on the same project all together, this can be a concern.

How should you ensure that a seamless UX is maintained throughout the app?

The synced record Task has a self-referential relationship defined in the column parentTaskId. There is a many-to- one record relationship between the id and parentTaskId called parentTask.

For a given task ID, you need to return the task name and the parent task name.

What should you do?

You're developing a user input form for a government services application that includes a file upload component.

If the uploaded file is a multimedia file (for example: .MP4, .MOV or .WAV), the customer wants these uploaded to Microsoft SharePoint instead.

What is the best way to achieve this requirement?

You're creating a process to update specific fields in a list of records and you save the updated records to the database.

You're given the following performance considerations:

Execution time

Process instance memory usage

Process execution engine load balancing

Based on these performance metrics, rank the options from best to worst.

Note: To answer, move all steps from the Options list to the Answer List area and arrange them in the correct ranking order (best at the top, and worst at the bottom).

You need to implement a field-level audit functionality on the application data, and then display a log of the changes made over time to the users.

What should you do?

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

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

You need to configure a process model that runs every day at 10:00 AM. The process should start only at the specified time even when a newer version of the process model is published.

A Boolean type constant needs to be configured in the process model. The intended flow of the process should be executed only when the constant is True.

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

You’re establishing a Health Check schedule for your department.

Which two statements should you consider when implementing Health Checks? (Choose two.)

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 maintaining a client's case management system.

The client needs you to review the performance of one of their interfaces as it is perceived to be quite slow

The interface is a start form that users use to edit party records in the system. They can edit these party records either through the participant view of the case record or directly through the party record.

Given a party record may consist of many attributes, Custom Data Types (CDT) have been used for the purpose of writing to the database, while record types have been used to retrieve data.

What might be a potential cause for this issue, and what should you do?

You need to create a web API so that an external system can start a process in your app.

Which two statements are true about using a service account to authenticate the system? (Choose two.)

You have set up SAML for single sign-on (SSO) in your cloud environment.

Which three options could you enable in the Attribute Mapping section of the Admin Console to sync with a user's profile in Appian? (Choose three.)

The synced record type Customer has a one-to-many relationship with the Case record type.

You need to calculate the number of open cases for each customer.

What are two valid methods to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

You're creating a process model that will serve as the case creation workflow.

Your requirements:

This process captures input from the user before executing a series of unattended subprocess nodes.

Each subprocess performs extended data processing which is dependent on output from each of the previous nodes.

An activity chained task node is displayed asking the user if they'd like to create another case.

What should you do?

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.)
