Appian Exam ACA100 Topic 3 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACA100 exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 3
[All ACA100 Questions]

A customer wants to automate a workflow for completing customer service cases. The high-level workflow involves multiple rounds of recording investigation results, uploading related documents, sending communications, and approving. Activities may need to be done at any time or out of order.

Which recommendation best utilizes the strengths of Appian out-of-the-box features to address this use case?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A records-centric design is the best approach to address this use case in Appian. This design allows users to interact with data through a central record type, with related actions enabling them to perform tasks like uploading documents, sending communications, and approving cases at any time or out of order.

Records-Centric Design:

This approach centralizes all related data and actions around a specific record type.

Users can trigger related actions such as document uploads or approvals directly from the record, ensuring flexibility and a user-friendly interface.

Why Not Other Options?:

A and B. Reports and dashboards are useful for visualizing data but are not as flexible for handling the ad-hoc and out-of-order activities described.

C . A sequential workflow is too rigid for a process where tasks need to be done out of order.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards option C, a sequential workflow, just to keep things nice and organized. But I can see the benefits of the other options too. Guess I'll have to think on it some more.

Option B is my pick. A dashboard with all the user's cases and actions would give them a great overview of the workflow and make it easy to stay on top of everything.

But with a sequential workflow, we can ensure that activities are done in a specific order, which is crucial for customer service cases.
