Appian Certified Senior Developer Sample Questions:

1. You're creating a process model that will serve as the case creation workflow.
Your requirements:
This process captures input from the user before executing a series of unattended subprocess nodes.
Each subprocess performs extended data processing which is dependent on output from each of the previous nodes.
An activity chained task node is displayed asking the user if they'd like to create another case.
What should you do?

A) Combine the separate subprocesses into one synchronous subprocess and place it in between each user input task.
B) Add an AND gate after the first user input task and place the synchronous subprocess nodes on a parallel path.
C) Configure the subprocess nodes to run asynchronously and set the inputs to pass as reference to enable data sharing.

2. You need to create a new database schema using a connected data source system.
What should you do?
Note: To answer, move all steps from the Options list to the Answer List area and arrange them in the correct order.

3. 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) 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.
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 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.

4. 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) Three tables:
B) Two tables:
C) Two tables:

5. You need to assign a user input task to three different groups of users: Group A, Group B, and Group C.
Each task form shares some common components with the following key differences:
Group B will receive a task that includes an additional section.
Group C will only view and enter data for one section.
What should you do?

A) Utilize conditional logic on the form along with the showWhen parameter for interface components.
B) Configure the version setting on the user input task node to conditionally display the correct form.
C) Within the process model, utilize an XOR gateway to conditionally select between the three different user input tasks.
