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.
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 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 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?
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 are reviewing application performance-related issues reported by users.
As part of this activity, you need to check interface performance, expression rules performance, and process model performance.
Match each statement to the option that best describes where you can view this information.
Note: Each object or view 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 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).

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 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?
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’re establishing a Health Check schedule for your department.
Which two statements should you consider when implementing Health Checks? (Choose two.)
Your development team has selected Jenkins as a Continuous Integration (CI) system to integrate testing of Appian into your overall testing strategy.
What should you do to set up automated testing of expression rules using Jenkins?
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 display information for pending tasks for each individual in an application. The tasks may be for a single specific application.
Which context type should you select for the Task Report Type?
You need to implement a Gender dropdown, where the choice labels may need to be altered in the future. The transactional database tables rely on this data for reporting, so the data must be accurate.
What is the recommended action?
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.)
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 need to create an expression rule that will be reused throughout your environment.
What are two reasons why you should include meaningful test cases when creating a new expression rule? (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)

Which two items are configured in the Admin Console when you create a web API? (Choose two.)
An insurance application has a dashboard in which all the cases with "Accident" case type and "Health Insurance" insurance type are displayed to the user, using the following query:

You need to update the query entity to display all the cases that are "Accident" case type and "Health Insurance" insurance type, or created in the last ten days.
What is the right configuration for the logical expression?
A)

B)

C)

What should you use to create a predefined query in a database for ease of use?
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.)
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?
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.)
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 configuring Health Check settings under the Admin Console.
Which section would you find the setting to indicate that the Health Check will run on a Production Environment?
After reviewing the latest Expression performance logs, you notice you have several expressions contributing to slow interface or process performance.
Which two conditions will lead to a higher risk associated with slow-performing expressions? (Choose two.)
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?
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?
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’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?
