Wk4-APPIAN EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
What is a gateway? - ANSWER PM node that allows you to evaluate
different criteria to make decisions on which paths your workflow should
follow as well as how many instances are allowed to follow each optional
path
What are the types of gateway nodes? - ANSWER 1) XOR
2) OR
3) COMPLEX
4) AND
What is an AND gateway? - ANSWER directs all incoming workflows to
all possible branches
-if more than one incoming path is used, all incoming paths must reach
node before the process can continue
-can be used to join incoming paths into single workflow or diverge paths
What's the other names for AND gateway? - ANSWER Parallel fork/Join
What is an XOR gateway? - ANSWER type of node that allows one
incoming path to continue, while excluding any others
-only *ONE* condition can be true (executes single outgoing path
determined by conditions you set)
Other names for XOR Gateway - ANSWER Exclusive Decision/Merge
(Exclusive OR)
What is an OR gateway? - ANSWER type of gateway node directing
incoming flows to one of many possible output paths based on condition
u set
-*multiple* conditions can be true
,can have multiple incoming and outgoing paths
Other names for OR gateway - ANSWER Inclusive Decision/Merge
What is an COMPLEX gateway? - ANSWER -gateway allowing u to
selectively accept (or restrict) incoming paths & eval rules to determine
outgoing paths
-can restrict number of incoming paths it takes and number of outgoing
paths it produces (can behave like an AND, XOR, and OR)
Other names for COMPLEX - ANSWER Complex Decision/Merge
True or False?
Complex node gets executed regardless of whether or not the preceding
paths feed into it or not - ANSWER True
Who can be the Product Owner of a project's software? - ANSWER
Someone on the business side (i.e. customer/business owner/end-user)
-represent the business (client)
What is a wizard? - ANSWER an interface design pattern structured to
allow you to divide a big form into sections presented one step at a time
with validation
-users should be able to step back and forth within the wizard without
losing daata b/w steps
A _________________ component displays the completed, current, and
future steps of a process or sequence, such as a user's current step in a
wizard or the current state of a business process - ANSWER milestone
What are some parameters a!milestoneField() has? - ANSWER steps,
active, orientation, label position, links
What are the two orientations available to a milestone? - ANSWER 1)
horizontal
, 2) vertical
What is an Process Report? - ANSWER Appian object used for
configuring a report based off of a task, PM, or process info to display on
a site
Two ways to access a site? - ANSWER 1) Navigation menu
2) URL from site object
Create User Task on Tempo - ANSWER Create Process Report first >
Create UI > Create Expression Rule > Create Report from UI > Add to
Site
Creating a Process Report - ANSWER Name > Description > Report
Type: 1) PM 2) Process (instances) 3) Task (from UIT) > Report Type
Choice: Task > Context Type: auto-displays depending on the type
selected > Select "Tasks by PM" > Save In: a Document Folder (Create
one if there isn't one already) >Store doc in doc Parent Folder >
CREATE
Designing A Process Report - ANSWER Click "No Context: (beside
report name at the top) > add PM > report will be populated with active
instances > only want to see active tasks, so go to filters > filter by
"active"
True or False?
Archived or deleted processes are available for inclusion in the PR
(Process Report) - ANSWER False
How to Add New Column (Field) in Process Report - ANSWER Edit >
Data tab > New Data > Display Name (field) > Definition (value needed
in the field) > Formatting (data type) > SAVE
What are the report types? - ANSWER 1) PM
2) Process
3) Task
