Actual exam question for Appian's ACD101 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 1

You are configuring a local variable on an interface to store the date and time that the username field was last modified. The local variables are currently configured as follows:

Which a!refreshVariable configuration should be added so that local!usernameLastModified stores the correct timestamp?

ArefreshInterval: 0

BrefreshOnVarChange: local!username

CrefreshAlways: true

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The a!refreshVariable function should be configured to refresh when the local!username variable changes. This is achieved by setting the refreshOnVarChange parameter to local!username, which will update the local!usernameLastModified variable with the current timestamp whenever local!username is modified.

Ah, the age-old question of when to refresh a variable. I say we go with the sassy option C, 'refreshAlways: true'. That way, we can keep our users on their toes, wondering when the timestamp will change next!

I'm with User2, let's keep it sassy with refreshAlways!

I think refreshInterval: 0 would be the best option to update the timestamp immediately.

Wait, wait, wait... why would we want to refresh the variable every single time? Wouldn't that be a bit overkill? I reckon option B is the way to go - it'll only update the timestamp when the username actually changes.

Hey, that's not a bad idea! Keeping 'em guessing, eh? Although, I do worry it might drive our users a little crazy. Maybe we should just stick with the sensible option B and call it a day.

But wouldn't refreshAlways: true ensure that the timestamp is always up to date?

Okay, so we need to configure the refreshVariable to store the timestamp of when the username field was last modified. I think option B is the correct answer here, since it will refresh the local!usernameLastModified variable whenever the local!username variable changes.

Definitely, using refreshOnVarChange with local!username ensures that local!usernameLastModified stays up to date with any changes to the username field.
