Question 3
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?
- A. Create a custom record field that evaluates in real-time, and calculates the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved.
- B. Within the grid column, utilize an Appian function to calculate the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved.
- C. Create a custom record field that evaluates at sync-time, and calculates the number of hours between when the case was created and the current date and time.
Answer : A
Question 4
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.

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?
-
A.
Two tables:
Review with columns id, statusId, comment, user
Ref Status with columns id, value -
B.
Two tables:
Review with columns id, statusId, comment, user1, user2, user3
Ref Status with columns id, value -
C.
Three tables:
Review to store id, statusId, comment
Ref Status with columns id, value
Review User with columns id, reviewId, user
Answer : C
Question 8
You notice that a process consumes a significant amount of memory. The process involves ingesting long strings from a web service and saving them to the database using a looping approach. The string output is saved to a process variable with data type Text.
Which two options will reduce the memory usage? (Choose two.)
- A. Save the string output directly to the data structure to be written to the database.
- B. Configure the process to delete previously completed or cancelled instances.
- C. Ensure that all process variables have the option "Hidden" deselected.
- D. Evaluate each step in a separate script task and save the output to a process variable.
Answer : AB
Question 9
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.)
- A. Within the Case record type, edit the relationship to the Customer record and select the "Open” status as the grouping filter.
- B. Within the Customer record type, create a custom field that evaluates in real-time to aggregate related record fields and count the open cases.
- C. Create a query expression for the Customer record type. Utilize the a!measure() function within the aggregation fields to count the related cases in the “Open” status.
- D. Create a sync-time custom record field within the Customer record. Utilize the a!relatedRecordData() function to filter open cases and count the number of entries.

Question 13
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!columnChartFieid() using a!columnChartConfig() 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!pieChartFieid() using a!pieChartConfig() with the case creation date as the primaryGrouping and the region as the secondaryGrouping.
Answer : B
Question 14
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.)
- A. Add an expression-based condition in the start node timer event to check for the constant to be True.
- B. Add a timer event in the start node.
- C. Add a timer event just after the start node to check for the specific time.
- D. Add a XOR Gateway just after the start node to check for the constant to be True.
