ACD201 Appian Senior Developer Questions and Answers

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 process model built by your team member.

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

You're designing a process used to notify multiple users of marketing campaigns. These campaigns occur infrequently, but are sent out to the hundreds of customers that are stored in your app.

How should you best design your process model to send the emails whilst using a common email process model (CMN_SendEmail), to be most performant?

The outputs of this node are not required for the main process.

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).

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

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.)

You're creating a new record type with data sync enabled. Users in the "ACME Employees" group must be able to access the record list and start the New Case action.

What are two valid steps that you should perform to grant users the appropriate access? (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?

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 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'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 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)

You're the administrator of your insurance company’s case management system. You need to limit insurance agents to only those clients to which they have been assigned.

Which two statements must be true for one way to configure Record-Level security for the Customer record? (Choose two.)

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 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?

You need to test a related action that updates record data.

Appropriate users must be able to access the form. You also need to ensure that the data is successfully updated.

Using Appian, which is the best testing method you should use?

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

What are two advantages of database normalization? (Choose two.)

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?

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're creating a point-of-sale (POS) system for a customer which can associate the items in a transaction to a customer based on a membership number. The item stock table and the customer sales record are hosted elsewhere and need to be written to via POST APIs from an Appian process model. This all occurs within a transaction process model that you're creating.

Which two steps should you perform to design your process model to improve process memory? (Choose two.)

You need to select a plug-in to meet a specific requirement and several plug-ins can do the job.

What are three key factors to consider? (Choose three.)

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 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?

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 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?
