ACD201 Appian Senior Developer Question and Answers

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.)

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?

Match each authentication type to the correct authentication characteristic description.

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 designing a file upload process that integrates with an external document management system.

Part of this process is to develop a start form with a file upload component, so that the user can upload multiple files.

The business has requested that the maximum file size that can be uploaded through this process is 1GB. Additionally, you’re aware that the integration's API can accept files with a maximum file size of 3GB, but recommends no larger than 1GB.

Can the process be more performant without straining the application or integration?

Which two options are correct regarding record relationships when using synced records in your application? (Choose two.)

You're developing a functionality to manage transactions for an insurance company. Each transaction can have multiple items where respective item type and item amount can be entered. The amount entered can be either negative or positive, and is a decimal data type with a precision of 8 and a scale of 2.

A maximum of 10 items can be entered for a transaction. Once all the items are entered, you need to calculate and show the sum of all items' total amounts at the transaction level.

What is the best way to calculate and display the sum of all item amounts?

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 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?

Match each action you want to perform to the appropriate log type.

Each log type 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 refining a story for a centralized distribution center that extends the current application by allowing inventory managers to review orders.

These orders are created through a record action that various workshops access from a shared Appian site.

Which consideration best suits this use case?

You're developing a record view for a case management system that enables users to upload files to a specific location within an external records application.

Your requirements are:

In this record view, there should be a record action that allows the user to upload a file to the interface and configure the metadata (name, author, file size) before submitting.

If the file is larger than 250MB, the user will be notified that the file will be uploaded overnight.

Once the file has been successfully uploaded, the file will appear on the record view and the user can interact with the file.

Which two pieces of user-facing information must be captured from this business process so that you can develop this record view? (Choose two.)

Your client wants to configure user authentication using single sign-on (SSO) in their cloud environment.

Which two authentication types should you use to support this requirement? (Choose two.)

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?

Consider this POST request:

https://www.example.com/suite/webapi/customer

Match the values to the correct fields in the resulting http!request value.

Note: Each value will be used once. To change your responses, you may deselect your response by clicking the blank space at the top of the selection list.

You need to relate two entities, Employee and Skill, in the data structure. You want to adhere to Appian best practices.

Employees can have multiple skills, and a single skill can relate to multiple employees.

What type of relationship do these entities represent, and what is the minimum number of tables required to implement the design?

You're creating an application which has integrations with multiple systems using different protocols.

Match each process model component or node to the appropriate protocol.

Note: Each protocol will be used once. To change your responses, you may deselect your response by clicking the blank space at the top of the selection list.

You need to update an existing Appian application.

The application needs to be responsive and compatible with a variety of screen widths. For example: phone/tablet browser, Appian mobile app, desktop monitor.

Which two functions/parameters should you consider when updating the interfaces? (Choose two.)

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?

You're redesigning user interfaces to achieve more efficient space usage.

Which layout component is the best choice for displaying an interface with a vertical meaningful order of components?

You're designing a custom component rule!pagingComponent() to page through a list of items. The component must display the current page numbers being shown, as well as the total number of items. Users should be able to click arrows to increase or decrease the pagination.

Review the following:

Which two patterns should be used when calling the component in this scenario? (Choose two.)

You're conducting a code review and notice that some accessibility features are missing on the interfaces.

Which two UX best practices should be followed to align with accessibility requirements? (Choose two.)

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?

Your client reported that a form in the application is very slow to load.

You investigate and find a query entity which is nor performing well.

Which action should you perform to improve query performance for the query entity?

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.
