QUESTION 14
Which two options are correct regarding record relationships when using synced records in your application? (Choose two.)

Relationships can be established between any record types that have sync enabled, regardless of the source.

Many-to-one relationships can be established using record relationships.

Record type relationships enforce referential integrity.

Up to 20 relationships can be added on a record type with data sync enabled.

QUESTION 15
There are two record types, ABC and XYZ, with sync enabled. The XYZ record type is added as a relationship into the ABC record type.
A user has Viewer permission to the ABC record type but does not have access to the XYZ record type.
A site page is presented to the user where the data is sourced from the ABC record type and its related record type the XYZ reference.
What information does the user see on the site page?

Page is presented to the user and the data references to the XYZ record type appear as “null”.

Page is presented to the user with the XYZ record type data and fields references redacted.

Page does not load and an error message is presented: “The record type [identifier=XYZ] does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have sufficient privileges to access its data.”

QUESTION 16
You need to implement a requirement where a third-party system starts a process in Appian. The third-party system can invoke a service only through Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
What should you do to start the process in Appian?

Create a default WSDL URL using process model UUID.

Create a custom plug-in.

Expose process model as a web service.

QUESTION 17
Why is it important to design web APIs in Appian with a user-centric approach?
Response:

QUESTION 18
You are creating an ERD that models the data for a college and includes a Many-to-Many relationship, Student-to-Class, where a student can be enrolled in multiple classes, and a class can enroll multiple students.
How can you handle this relationship so that it can be supported in Appian and remain in at least First Normal Form?
(Choose the best answer.)
Response:

A joining table can be used to hold instances of Student/Class relationships.

The Student table should have a Class field to hold an array of Class IDs.

The Class table should have a Student field to hold an array of Student IDs.

It cannot be done, because Appian CDTs cannot handle Many-to Many relationships.
