Appian Exam ACD101 Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACD101 exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 1

You are creating a new interface object to display a pie chart.

The data for the chart is stored in a local variable in the parent interface object which references your child interface.

In terms of performance, what is the most efficient method to access the data required for the pie chart?

ACreate a rule input on the child interface and pass the local variable data from the parent interface.

BReference the local variable directly from the child Interface using a process report.

CQuery the data separately in the child interface to avoid passing it from the parent interface.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The most efficient method to access data for a pie chart in a child interface is to create a rule input on the child interface and pass the local variable data from the parent interface. This method avoids redundant data queries and takes advantage of Appian's pass-by-reference mechanism, which does not duplicate data in memory when passing it to the child interface.

In my opinion, creating a rule input on the child interface allows for better encapsulation and reusability of the code.

I think it depends on the complexity of the data. If it's simple, referencing the local variable directly could be the best option.

I agree with Mirta. Querying the data separately in the child interface seems like an unnecessary extra step.

I disagree with Krystina. I believe referencing the local variable directly from the child interface using a process report is faster.

It might, but passing data through rules can sometimes lead to complexity and inefficiency.

But wouldn't querying the data separately add extra processing time?
