  Correct Answer:

  

  

  The question is about presenting data through data visualization and matching the chart types to the data they are best suited to represent. The following are the correct matches: A pie chart is best suited to represent proportional data in one category and can help us understand the contribution of parts to a whole. A pie chart shows the relative size of each part as a slice of a circular pie, and can display percentages or absolute values. For example, a pie chart can show the market share of different smartphone brands in one country. A line chart is best suited to represent direct comparison of data with multiple categories with a relatively small set of positive and negative values. A line chart shows the change or trend of data over time or another variable, and can display multiple lines for different categories. For example, a line chart can show the temperature change of different cities over a year. A bar chart is best suited to represent values across a relatively large number of categories that are not sequential or time-based. A bar chart shows the magnitude or frequency of data using horizontal or vertical bars, and can display multiple bars for different categories. For example, a bar chart can show the number of students enrolled in different courses in a university. References: Pie Chart Line Chart Bar Chart

• Question 5:

  Your organization requires a process to be initiated via an Appian web API.

  Which HTTP request methods should the API use?

  A. HEAD

  B. GET

  C. POST

  D. CONNECT

  Correct Answer: C

  The question is about initiating a process via an Appian web API. The HTTP request method that the API should use is POST, as it is the method that allows sending data to the server and creating or updating a resource. In this case, the data would be the process parameters and the resource would be the process instance. The other options are not suitable for this purpose, as they either do not allow sending data or do not create or update a resource. References: HTTP Request Methods Start Process Web API

• Question 6:

  You are designing a case management application. The initiator creates a case, and the reviewer reviews it approximately 7 days later.

  You have already designed a process model for the initiators to create the case.

  Which process model design will result in the lowest memory impact? (Choose the best answer.)

  A. When all case details are entered, the case appears as a case record, and when the reviewer is ready to review the record, they can do so via a related action from the case record.

  B. When all case details are entered, the process flow will proceed and assign a task to the reviewer to review the record.

  C. When all case details are entered, the process flow will call a Start Process node to initialize a review process model for the reviewer.

  D. When all case details are entered, the process flow will call a Sub-Process node to initialize a review process model for the reviewer.

  Correct Answer: A

  The best process model design for a case management application is to use a case record and a related action. This way, the process flow does not have to wait for the reviewer to complete the task, which can take up to 7 days. This

  reduces the memory impact of the process, as well as the risk of process timeouts or errors. The case record also provides a better user experience, as the reviewer can access the case details and the related action from one place.

  Therefore, the best answer is A.

• Question 7:

  You create an Integration that modifies the data.

  In which three locations can it be called? (Choose three.)

  A. Web API (GET)

  B. Expression or Rule

  C. Web API (POST, PUT, DELETE)

  D. Process model

  E. SAIL save into parameter

  Correct Answer: CDE

  An integration that modifies data can be called from three locations: web API (POST, PUT, DELETE), process model, and SAIL saveInto parameter. These locations allow for sending data to an external system or service and receiving a

  response. Web API (POST, PUT, DELETE) are HTTP methods that are typically used to create, update, or delete data on a server. An integration that modifies data can be exposed as a web API with one of these methods, allowing external

  applications or systems to invoke it through an HTTP request1.

  Process model is a graphical representation of a business workflow that consists of nodes and flows. An integration that modifies data can be called from a process model using either an integration node or a Call Integration smart service2.

  This allows for orchestrating complex workflows that involve data manipulation across different systems or sources.

  SAIL saveInto parameter is a property of a SAIL component that specifies an expression to be evaluated when the component is modified by the user3. An integration that modifies data can be called from an interface using the saveInto

  parameter of a SAIL component. This allows for triggering data changes based on user actions or events on the interface.

• Question 8:

  You need to create a service account for a consumer to access the Appian Web API.

  Which user type should be created?

  A. Initiator

  B. System Administrator

  C. Basic User

  D. Editor

  Correct Answer: C

  The requirement is to create a service account for a consumer to access the Appian Web API. A basic user is the user type that should be created for this purpose, as it has the minimum permissions needed to invoke web APIs and does not consume a license. A basic user can also be assigned to specific groups or roles to control the access to web APIs. The other options are not suitable for this purpose, as they either have more permissions than needed or consume a license. References: User Types Web API Security

• Question 9:

  You want to approve or reject an incoming deployment.

  Which three roles allow you to do so? (Choose three.)

  A. Specified Reviewer Group

  B. System Administrators

  C. Application Viewers

  D. Application Administrators Group

  E. Application Editors

  Correct Answer: ABD

  The question is about approving or rejecting an incoming deployment. The following roles allow you to do so:

  Specified Reviewer Group: This is a group that can be specified by the application administrator when creating a deployment package. Members of this group can approve or reject the deployment package in the target environment. System

  Administrators: This is a group that has full access and control over all applications and system settings in Appian. Members of this group can approve or reject any deployment package in any environment. Application Administrators Group:

  This is a group that has full access and control over a specific application in Appian. Members of this group can approve or reject any deployment package for their application in any environment. The following roles do not allow you to

  approve or reject an incoming deployment:

  Application Viewers: This is a group that has read-only access to a specific application in Appian. Members of this group cannot approve or reject any deployment package for their application in any environment. Application Editors: This is a

  group that has edit access to a specific application in Appian. Members of this group can create and export deployment packages for their application in any environment, but they cannot approve or reject them.

• Question 10:

  As a developer, you have created a Web API.

  To execute the API, what is the minimum privilege the end user should have? (Choose the best answer.)

  A. Initiator

  B. Viewer

  C. Editor

  D. Administrator

  Correct Answer: B

  The minimum privilege the end user should have to execute a web API is Viewer. A web API is an Appian object that exposes data and services to outside systems through an HTTP endpoint. A web API can be configured with different security role maps that control which users can see or modify it and its properties. A user must have at least Viewer permissions to a web API in order to execute it. Viewer permissions allow the user to view and run the web API, but not to edit or delete it.
