Appian ACD-201 : Appian Certified Senior Developer

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?

• A. Change the data source of the query entity to a view with a WHERE clause.
• B. Apply indices on all the fields referred in the query.
• C. Apply the appropriate filters and indices in both Appian and the database.

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?

• A. Use the out-of-the-box Appian Connected System, but since it does not have any pre-built connected systems, you will need to use either a HTTP or OpenAI Connected System to connect with SharePoint.
• B. Develop a connected system plug-in given SharePoint has an extensive API that cannot easily be resolved using the Appian out-of-the-box Connected System.
• C. Use the out-of-the-box Appian Connected System as it has a pre-built connected system to SharePoint to provide a guided experience for designers to send and receive data.

You need to add test cases to an existing expression rule in the system. Expression rule gives a complex data type value as an output result.
The test case should pass only when a field in the resultant data matches with a specific value mentioned.
How should you configure the test case assertion?

• A. Assertion expression evaluates to True.
• B. Test completes without errors.
• C. Test output matches the asserted output.

You have designed a three-step 'Wizard' form interaction using user input tasks in the process model. The second step of the Wizard must utilize another process model which contains a user input task inside.
Which two methods should be implemented for a seamless Wizard-like interaction for the user? (Choose two.)

• A. Use a subprocess to call the second process model.
• B. Use the Start Process smart service to call the second process model.
• C. Enable activity chaining between all nodes in the second process model, and activity chain between all user input tasks.
• D. Enable activity-chaining between all nodes on the main process model.

You're designing a report to show the total number of cases per month grouped by region. A synced record exists for the data source.
Which design pattern is most appropriate in this case?

• A. Configure a!pieChartFieid() using a!pieChartConfig() with the case creation date as the primaryGrouping and the region as the secondaryGrouping.
• B. Use a!queryRecordType() with a!aggregationFieids() to group the case creation date by region into a local variable. Pass the local variable value into the data input of a!columnChartField()
• C. Configure a!columnChartFieid() using a!columnChartConfig() with the case creation date as the primaryGrouping and the region as the secondaryGrouping.
