D.
The user experience UX design is the process design teams use to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users, this involves the design of the entire process of acquiring and integrating the product, including aspects of branding, design, usability and function.
What process model activities represent a series of process steps that could be reused in the same process or across many different processes?
a. sub processes
b. script tasks
c. user input tasks
d. Rules
correct A
- Subprocess: is a Process model that starts as a result of the Sub process Activity. It is configured to run within the process flow of another process model known as the parent process
- Script Task: is used to perform an automated activity (which does not require a user to complete a form
- User Input Task: is an activity that assigns a task to be completed (using a form) to a user or a group.
- Rules: Expression rules can be called from any expression, so they can be reused across multiple objects throughout the system.
what is not a possible source of data to display in a record type object?
a. Reports
b. process models
c. data store entities
d. Expressions
?
-Report
An Appian object that displays data from tasks, records, and other data sources in a single interface in Tempo for end users to view.
-Process Model
An Appian object that consists of process nodes, flow connectors, user and group assignments, data, and rules created through the Process Modeler
-Expression
Statement evaluated by the rules engine to determine its value. similar to a spreadsheet formula, but rather than taking spreadsheet cells as inputs, you can enter variables.
If a user is deactivated, which of the following actions must you perform in order for that user to be able to log in again?

b. nothing. The account is automatically reactivated when user logs in
c. you must create a new account for different information
d. you must reactivate the user account
d. you must reactivate the user account
Which of the following represents a comment within an expression rule?

b.
c. EXPRESSION
d. /EXPRESSION/
d. /EXPRESSION/
Which data type should be assigned to the field used as an automatically generated primary key?
a. Text
b. Boolean
c. Date
d. number ( integer)
d. number ( integer)
Which of the fun characteristics are part of the correct naming convention for a constant?
a. Use the developers initials as a prefix
b. use uppercase letters
c. use camelcase letters
d. use spacing between words
b)use upper case letters.
notes: Rules and Constants
Preface the name with the application specific prefix.
Optionally, use an additional prefix to group related rules and constants.
For Constants, use uppercase for all letters.
For Rules, use pascal case.
Where can data words come from?
a. All other answers are correct
b. process data in appian
c. database queries
d. web services
a) all other answers are correct.
A best practice for web services integration for an application is to:
a. componentize each integration inside short lived subprocesses
b. create a custom WSDL and host in on an inaccessible web server
c. cache all data from web service interactions in long running processes for simplified reporting
d. run all integrations through a dedicated application. Then expose an internal Web API for other applications to use
B
-You can configure your process model so that it can be launched by a web service call. When the model is published as a web service, a WSDL is created that describes the parameters that must be passed and the protocol used to pass them. Authentication credentials must be passed as parameters to the web service.
Custom data types cannot be passed as parameters (variables required at the start of a process) to process models exposed as web services.

d. always specify an application prefix before both the singular and plural record names
C
-Domain prefix (recordType!) Direct Use this domain to reference a record object type any any record list actions or related actions associated with the record type. See Referencing a record type and its properties for more information.

Which of the following statements are true about descriptions on Appian objects?
a. Object descriptions are dynamic and expressionable
b. New objects cannot be created without a description
c. Object descriptions are displayed to end users
d. Object descriptions enable self-documenting application logic
C
-Object
General term for all components that make up the end user experience. It can refer to anything from an entire application to a node within a process to a feed users can subscribe to. Designers and administrators work with Appian objects to create the end user experience.
Which of the following? Should you take into consideration before deploying Appian?
a. Test automation
b. Managing import customization files.
c. SQL Script deployment.
d. All answers are correct.
D
-Deploying packages is how you release your application updates to end users and deliver value.
they are 3 types: applications, patches, administration console settings.
When deploying changes to a higher environment, such as a test environment, your packaging process should generally follow these steps:
Validate your application in the source environment.
Compare environments and prepare your package.
Inspect your package and resolve any issues.
Deploy your package to the target environment.
Why use custom datatypes?
a. Better end user experience.
b. They allow forms to be tempo enabled.
c. Organizes data to save information in an external database via a CDT.
d. Reference point for what data your application is capturing in its processes
c. Organizes data to save information in an external database via a CDT.
-Custom Data Types (CDTs)
Designers can create or import their own custom data types (CDTs). These organize data into a structure that represents a logical grouping of related data, such as Employee and Contract.All CDTs can be downloaded and imported as XML Schema Definition (XSD) files
How can you quickly review the performance of an interface?
a. Check the tomcat-stdOut log file
b. Select the performance tab in the interface designer
c. use the appian health check
d. view the room performance report on the administration console
?
Which type of database relationship requires a separate relationship table?
a. Many-To-One
b. One-To-Many
c. Many-To-Many
d. One-To-One
C
- Many to one: the parent table with the reference can have multiple rows referring to the same row of the child table, the reference is stored in the parent.
- One to Many relationship, which occurs when you nest a list of CDT in a parent CDT, then the reference to the parent is stored in each of the children.
- Many to Many relationship, that generally requires a separate lookup table [id, fk 1, fk 2], which database experts should more than likely build this directly in the DBMS and configure the CDTs afterward.
- One to One is simply achieved by one CDT or the other having a reference to the other CDT, most likely the reference of the CDT will be the ID or primary key. In a one to one relationship it doesn’t really matter which one is the one with the reference to the other. If you make one of the members of the CDT a CDT itself (nesting), Appian will automatically generate the foreign key reference.
