Discuss Appian ACD101 Exam Topic 4 Question 39

ACME Automobile uses Appian to manage their vehicle fleet. Vehicle records can have a status of either "active" or "inactive".

Users are primarily concerned with active vehicles and want to see only those records by default when viewing the Vehicle records list. However, it is important for users to be able to see the unfiltered list of Vehicle records on demand to address occasional auditing requests from managers.

Which configuration supports the desired Vehicle record list behavior?

AVisibility on the Status column in the Vehicle record list set with conditional logic.

BA source filter set to exclude vehicles with status 'inactive'.

CA user filter for the status field with a default option corresponding to 'active'.

Suggested Answer: C

To achieve the behavior where users see only 'active' vehicle records by default but can also view all records when needed, you should configure a user filter for the status field on the Vehicle record list. This user filter should have a default value set to 'active', which will filter the list to only show active records initially. However, users will still have the option to adjust the filter to see all records, thus accommodating occasional auditing requests.

Wait, can we really filter out inactive vehicles like that? Sounds too easy!

Sheridan 10 months ago

A source filter sounds like a good idea too, but not sure if it’s flexible enough.

Paris 10 months ago

But what if we need to see inactive vehicles quickly?

Shaunna 10 months ago

Definitely agree with C, it keeps things simple!

Lashunda 10 months ago

I think option C makes the most sense for default views.

Kati 11 months ago

I agree with Denae about option C, but I wonder if there's a way to toggle the filter for auditing purposes. That might be important too.

Denae 11 months ago

I feel like visibility settings were discussed in class, but I can't recall if they apply here. Option A seems a bit off to me.

Thurman 11 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about source filters from our practice questions. Could option B be the answer since it excludes 'inactive' vehicles?

Sarah 11 months ago

I think option C sounds right because it mentions a default option for 'active', which aligns with what users want to see first.

Diego 12 months ago

This seems straightforward enough. I'm pretty confident that option B, the source filter, is the best approach to meet the stated requirements.

Dorothy 12 months ago

Based on the requirements, I think option B is the way to go. A source filter to exclude inactive vehicles sounds like the cleanest solution that meets the needs.

Hubert 12 months ago

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read the question and think through each choice carefully to make sure I understand the implications.

Okay, let's see. The key is that users want to see only active vehicles by default, but also be able to see the full unfiltered list. I'm leaning towards option B, but I'll need to double-check the details.

Renay 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward configuration question. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements and think about the different options presented.

Van 1 year ago

I think option B is not as effective because excluding inactive vehicles may not always be the best approach for auditing purposes.

Florinda 1 year ago

That's true, Nickolas. Option A could also be a good solution depending on how the conditional logic is set up.

Nickolas 1 year ago

But what about option A? Setting visibility based on conditional logic could also work well.

Shonda 1 year ago

I agree with Florinda. Having a default option for active vehicles is important for user experience.

Florinda 1 year ago

I think option C makes the most sense. It allows users to easily see active vehicles by default.

Jacklyn 1 year ago

Option C makes the most sense. Having the status filter defaulted to 'active' is a simple way to meet the requirement of showing only active vehicles by default.

User 3: It would be convenient for users to have that default option.

User 2: Agreed, setting the default filter to 'active' makes it easier for users.
