Appian ACD101 Free Certification Exam Questions Answer May 2026 update

You are creating a large, complex interface

Which statement describes a best practice for strategizing code organization?

Create individual interface objects for each chunk of code that is logically grouped, especially for those that may be reused in other areas of the application.

Create only one interface object per developer assigned to the feature. This balances the performance cost of calling additional interface objects with the need to prevent developers from overwriting each other.

Since the components are related, all code should be centralized in a single interface object. This minimizes the performance cost incurred by Appian calling multiple interface objects.

Question # 22

You are working on an existing process model with three process variables:

1. pv!vehicleID (integer)

2. pv!vehicle(Custom Data Type (CDT)

3. pv!dealershipName (text)

You have a script task with an output variable, defined as rule!VIM_getVehicle(vehicleID: pv!vehicleID). The result is saved to pv!vehicle.

The rule VIM_getDealershipName() accepts the dealership ID, which is a field on the vehicle CDT, and returns the dealership name.

What should you update in the process model to set the value for pv!dealershipName?

Move the existing output variable to the inputs tab, and name it “vehicle”. Add output variable defined as rule!VIM_getDealershipName(ac!vehicle.dealershipId) and save that value to pv!dealershipName.

Add another output variable defined as rule!VIM_getDealershipName(pv!vehicle.dealershipId) and save that value to pv!dealershipName.

Add a new script task, and add an input variable defined as rule!VIM_getDealershipName(ac!vehicle.dealershipName) that saves into pv!dealershipName.

Question # 23

A process model is currently being used to handle job applications.

For each new applicant, a User Input Task is assigned to the human resources (HR) Recruiter group for initial processing.

Later in the process, users in the HR Supervisor group are sent an email instructing them to schedule the candidate’s final interview. The process is working as expected.

Today, users in the HR Recruiter group requested that they do not receive email notifications for the initial processing of job applications. It is, however, critical for those in the HR Supervisor group to continue receiving e-mails.

How should you address this requirement?

Update the user input node in the process model to disable notifications for task assignments.

Update the settings in the Admin Console to disable outbound email from Appian.

Update the HR Recruiter group settings to disable email notifications.

Question # 24

You are making changes to a record type named Support Case which has an existing related action titled Update Case.

Your customer requests an enhancement to make the update case action easily accessible when viewing the summary of a support case record.

What should you do?

Configure the Summary record view and add a shortcut to the Update Case-related action.

Set the visibility of the Update Case-related action to the Summary view.

Add a new record relationship between the Support Case record type, Summary view, and Update Case-related actions.

Question # 25

What are three ways to trigger a process from a process model? (Choose three.)

Use a subprocess.

Call a web API.

Use a!recordActionItem().

Use a Start Process smart service.

Run a!startProcess() from a script task.

Question # 26

You want to prevent a user from submitting a form when an invalid value is entered.

What should you do?

Wrap the Text field in an if statement and display a red card layout when the value is not valid.

Use a rich text display field with “STRONG” style and “NEGATIVE” color when the value is not valid.

In the validations parameter, use an if statement that returns a text string when the value is not valid.

Question # 27

You built a grid field with the data source as a query entity.

You want to add a search box to the grid using Appian’s out-of-the-box functionality. You set the parameter of showSearchBox to “True”, but the search box is still not appearing.

Why is the search box NOT appearing?

The search box only appears when data is populated in the grid.

The grid is on an interface that needs to be placed within a report object.

The showSearchBox parameter only applies when a record type is used as the source in the data.
