Appian Certified Senior Developer Sample Questions:
1. An energy company wants to allow the public to be able to report power outages directly and provide supporting documentation in the form of photos and/or videos. The company also requires the reporter's contact details.
How can a developer design and implement this requirement in Appian?
A) A site where the user can trigger a process that captures the information including any uploaded files, and uploads everything to an internal Microsoft SharePoint site.
B) A custom version of the Appian mobile app that the user can use to capture details, attached photos, and upload documents.
C) A portal that interacts with records that stores the name, address, contact information, with a defined folder to store uploaded documents.
2. 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) 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.
B) Within the Case record type, edit the relationship to the Customer record and select the "Open" status as the grouping filter.
C) Within the Customer record type, create a custom field that evaluates in real-time to aggregate related record fields and count the open cases.
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.
3. 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.
4. 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?
A) Use a!queryRecordType() filtered on the task id once to return the task name and parent task ID. Query the record again to return the parent task name.
B) Use a!queryRecordType() with a filter on the task id, with fields specified to return recordType!Task.name and recordType!Task.parentTask.name.
C) Create a sync-time custom record field on the Task record called parentName. Specify this field to return in the query field selection.
5. What are two advantages of database normalization? (Choose two.)
A) Enforcing data integrity.
