Appian ACD201 Exam - Topic 2 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACD201 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 2

You're designing a custom component rule!pagingComponent() to page through a list of items. The component must display the current page numbers being shown, as well as the total number of items. Users should be able to click arrows to increase or decrease the pagination.

Review the following:

Which two patterns should be used when calling the component in this scenario? (Choose two.)

APassing into the rule input totalCount of rule!pagingComponent() the value: local!query.totalCount where local!query is returning a dataSubset and returnTotalCount = 'True'.

BA rule input ri!pagingInfo on rule!pagingComponent() with a local variable of the same name in the main interface with an initial value. When the arrows are clicked, this updates the value of the local variable in the main interface.

CA local variable local!totalCount calculated using count(local!query), which is passed into rule!pagingComponent() via a rule input. The data type of local!query is a list of record or Custom Data Type (CDT).

DA local variable local!pagingInfo inside rule!pagingComponent() with an initial value. When the arrows are clicked, this updates the value of the local variable.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

Passing local!query.totalCount (from a dataSubset with returnTotalCount: true) into a rule input allows rule!pagingComponent() to accurately display total items for pagination.

Managing paging state (such as ri!pagingInfo) as a local variable in the main interface and updating it when arrows are clicked ensures that pagination is controlled centrally, maintaining state across the UI and allowing the component to function as intended.
