Question 1

Which code snippet calls the interface APP_RecordDashboard while following best practices for passing in values for "recordId" and "firstName"?

A)

B)

C)



Answer : B

The best practice in Appian for passing values into an interface is to use named parameters, which is demonstrated by Option B. Named parameters make the code more readable and maintainable by clearly specifying which parameter each value is being passed to. In this case, the recordId and firstName parameters are clearly being assigned the values 1 and 'Kyle' respectively. Reference:

Appian Documentation: Passing Parameters to Interfaces


Question 2

You are developing an expression rule. You need to find information on employing an Appian function that you have not used before.

For more information on the Appian function, what should you do first?



Answer : A

When you need information on using a specific Appian function that you have not used before, the first step should be to consult the Appian Documentation. The documentation provides comprehensive details on each function, including syntax, parameters, usage examples, and best practices, which is essential for understanding how to correctly employ the function in an expression. Reference: Appian Documentation - Functions


Question 3

A user needs to navigate from a record summary to an external URL.

Which interface component can be used to support this goal?



Answer : A

In Appian, to navigate from a record summary to an external URL, you can use a Button component configured with a 'Link' action. This approach allows you to define a URL that the button will navigate to when clicked. The Button component offers flexibility in terms of design and functionality, making it suitable for such navigation purposes within Appian interfaces. You can specify the URL directly in the Button's properties, allowing for dynamic link generation based on record data if needed. Reference:

Appian Documentation: Designing Interfaces (This section provides comprehensive details on using various interface components, including buttons, to achieve specific user interaction goals within Appian.)

Appian Documentation: Buttons (This page specifically focuses on the Button component, detailing its properties, usage, and how to configure it for different actions, including navigating to an external URL.)


Question 4

You are creating a form used to order a pizz

a. You use a radio button component for the selection.

The pizza selection labels include a list of toppings. You do not want the selection labels to be truncated.

Which layout should you choose?



Answer : C

For a pizza ordering form where you do not want the radio button selection labels to be truncated, the Stacked layout is the most appropriate. This layout will list the options vertically, giving each one adequate space and preventing truncation, which is particularly useful when the labels include longer text, such as a list of toppings. Reference: Appian Documentation - Interface Components


Question 5

You receive a bug ticket that states "After selecting a value for the drop-down field, the value disappears."

You investigate and notice that when you select the drop-down, the proper choice labels display. When you select an option, the value updates properly in the corresponding rule input.

What is the issue and how can you fix this bug?



Answer : A

The described bug typically occurs when the value parameter of the drop-down component is not correctly mapped to the corresponding rule input or variable that is supposed to hold the selected value. To fix the issue, you should ensure that the drop-down's value parameter is correctly mapped so that the selected option is retained and displayed properly. Reference: Appian Documentation - Dropdown Field Component


Question 6

You are creating a new customer onboarding application. Documents are required from customers for verification and onboarding purposes. You need to store these documents within Appian.

Which two areas in Appian should you configure? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, C

In Appian, to store documents such as those required for customer onboarding, you should configure a Knowledge Center and within that, Folders. The Knowledge Center in Appian serves as the top-level container for storing and organizing documents and folders. Folders within a Knowledge Center provide a way to categorize and manage access to documents, making them an essential part of document management in Appian applications. Decision Objects and Feeds are not related to document storage. Reference: Appian Documentation - Knowledge Centers and Folders


Question 7

You have a record type, ABC_Author, backed by a database table.

You need to retrieve the total number of authors without loading all the data.

According to Appian best practices, which code snippet accomplishes this goal in the most efficient way?

A)

B)

C)



Answer : B

According to Appian best practices, the most efficient way to retrieve the total number of authors without loading all the data is to use a query that includes an aggregation function. Option B uses an aggregation field with a COUNT function, which is designed to return the number of rows that match a query without the need to retrieve and load all row data, thus optimizing performance.
