Question 3

You need to create a process workflow for employee background investigations. This workflow takes an average of six months from start to completion. There are multiple phases to the background investigation which must be completed by people in different departments. Each department is responsible for inputting a large amount of data as part of the workflow.

Options:

A.

Record-level security means agents must have permission to view the record type and permission to edit the records.

A new record-level security rule should be created using the Users found in fields option to specify that if a user is found in the "assignedAgent" field (which is a type User), then they can see their cases.

C.

Data sync should be enabled.

D.

A condition should be added to the record-level security rule to specify which cases specifically named agents can access.

Question 29

One component of this form requires you to embed an external site (in the form of a URL) that can receive inputs from Appian and return updates as the user interacts with it.

What should you do?

Options:

A.

Use an integration to achieve interaction with the embedded site while displaying information in the Appian out-of-the-box Web Content Component. That way you can refresh for updates and interact with the site.

B.

Use the Appian out-of-the-box Web Content Component. It can display content from a URL and provide both additional inputs, or receive updates as the user interacts with the embedded site.

C.
