Sample ACD201 Questions

Practice with real exam-style questions, each with the verified correct answer and explanation.

Q1 MultipleChoice

You're developing a user input form for a government services application that includes a file upload component.

If the uploaded file is a multimedia file (for example: .MP4, .MOV or .WAV), the customer wants these uploaded to Microsoft SharePoint instead.

What is the best way to achieve this requirement?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation:

Appian provides an out-of-the-box pre-built connected system for SharePoint, allowing you to integrate file uploads to SharePoint with a guided experience for configuration---making this the best way to fulfill the requirement.

Q2 MultipleChoice

You need to allow external systems to invoke Appian web APIs.

Which user role should be assigned?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

A Service Account user role is specifically designed for integrations, allowing external systems to securely authenticate and invoke Appian web APIs.

Q3 MultipleChoice

You're configuring Health Check settings under the Admin Console.

Which section would you find the setting to indicate that the Health Check will run on a Production Environment?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation:

The Automatic Upload section in the Health Check settings of the Admin Console includes the option to indicate that the Health Check is running on a Production Environment, which helps Appian appropriately analyze and benchmark the data.

Q4 MultipleChoice

A process was recently pushed to the Prod environment. However, users are reporting that a task on this process is experiencing slow response times when they try to input data.

What is the most likely reason for this issue?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

Having too many SAIL components on the task can cause slow response times for users, as the interface may take longer to render and process inputs, impacting performance.

Q5 MultipleChoice

Users are experiencing slow load times when retrieving customer records with many transactions.

After using performance monitoring tools, you discover that the following interface definition is responsible for the majority of page load time:

Additionally, both queries (rule!APP_GetTransactionsWithFilters and rule!APP_GetTransactionTypeWithFilters) take approximately 25 milliseconds each to execute when you test them using the expression editor.

Which action would result in the greatest reduction in the load time for this interface component?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

Prefetching all transaction types once (instead of running a separate query for each row in the grid) and then using the displayvalue() function to display the corresponding transaction type name for each transaction will significantly reduce the number of queries executed. This eliminates the N+1 query problem and will greatly improve the interface load time.
