Q10. You’re maintaining a client’s case management system.
The client needs you to review the performance of one of their interfaces as it is perceived to be quite slow
The interface is a start form that users use to edit party records in the system. They can edit these party records either through the participant view of the case record or directly through the party record.
Given a party record may consist of many attributes, Custom Data Types (CDT) have been used for the purpose of writing to the database, while record types have been used to retrieve data.
What might be a potential cause for this issue, and what should you do?

CDTs are an inefficient method for writing to the database Hence, you should refactor the entire process to utilize records only

The user should only query and edit the attributes they are intending to edit. Hence, you should restrict editing through the case record and users should only edit the party through the party record

The queries may no! be performant due to unexpected indexing conditions or be casting to the incorrect CDT. Hence, you should review the queries and adjust accordingly.

What are two ways to efficiently address this warning to prevent reaching the limit? (Choose two.)

Design the process to write data in batches of 1,000.

Disable data sync immediately to prevent user facing-front end issues.

Keep only necessary data and plan to move the archived data to an audit table in a longer run.

Apply one or more source filters to limit the number of rows synced in Agpian.

Q17. Which step should you perform to identify expression rules that have been causing or have caused performance issues in the past 30 days?

Monitor the runtime of all test cases.

Navigate to the Admin Console > Rule Performance tab.

Examine the application server log

Q18. Your client wants their customers to be able to schedule appointments directly from their website without going to an Appian user environment.

Q21. You’re designing a report to show the total number of cases per month grouped by region. A synced record exists for the data source.
Which design pattern is most appropriate in this case?

Configure a!columnChartFieid() using a!columnChartConfig() with the case creation date as the primaryGrouping and the region as the secondaryGrouping.

Use a!queryRecordType() with a!aggregationFieids() to group the case creation date by region into a local variable. Pass the local variable value into the data input of a!columnChartField()

Configure a!pieChartFieid() using a!pieChartConfig() with the case creation date as the primaryGrouping and the region as the secondaryGrouping.

Q22. 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.)

Within the Case record type, edit the relationship to the Customer record and select the “Open” status as the grouping filter.

Within the Customer record type, create a custom field that evaluates in real-time to aggregate related record fields and count the open cases.

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.

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.
