APPIAN LEAD DEVELOPER LATEST 2026 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔What Appian design object unifies and optimizes data? - ✔✔Record Type
✔✔What three elements are found in a typical Appian app? - ✔✔Create: Action to add
new records
Read: Record lists and summary views
Update: Related actions to update existing records
CRUD minus the D
✔✔T or F: Appian developers can create record types by connecting to existing data
sources, and they can also create record types and tables from scratch. - ✔✔True
✔✔How do you unify record types in Appian? - ✔✔Add relationships from within the
record type.
✔✔What two record type features can you use to extend existing data? - ✔✔Record
Events (Who takes action on records and when. Then displays a history of events to
users.)
Custom record fields (You can create these to aggregate, extract, group or modify data
to provide your business users with additional business insights. You can create a field
for graphs such as sum of column.)
✔✔What type of security allows you to configure data visibility at the row level? -
✔✔Record-level security in the record type
✔✔What kinds of automation can you implement with Appian? Select four options that
apply.
A. Build unified business workflows
B. Integrate with external systems
C. Industrial automation
D. Enforce business rules
E. Automate routine tasks and data classification and extraction - ✔✔A, B, D, E
✔✔When automating a workflow, how do you add a specialized business activity to it?
A. Drop the workflow node into your process
B. Drop the gateway into your process
C. Drop the smart service into your process
D. Code your activity - ✔✔C. Drop the smart service into your process
✔✔What design object is used to capture business rules in Appian?
A. Process Model
B. Decision Object
, C. Record Type
D. Interface - ✔✔B. Decision Object
✔✔T or F: Appian RPA is used to automate high-volume manual tasks, and often the
only solution when you need to connect to legacy systems that lack APIs. - ✔✔True
✔✔T or F: Appian AI Skill is used to automate common business tasks like document
classification, email classification, and document extraction. A developer only needs to
create and configure an AI Skill design object, and then add it to any Appian process
using the corresponding smart service. - ✔✔True
✔✔Complete this sentence. Process mining is a capability that ... - ✔✔Discovers
patterns and bottlenecks in your processes
✔✔What does the process discovery method generate? (Done by uploading an event
log)
A. The target model that shows how a process should run
B. The discovered model that shows how a process runs in real life
C. A chart of common deviations
D. A reporting dashboard - ✔✔B. The discovered model that shows how a process runs
in real life
✔✔What process mining method compares the discovered and target models and
identifies the deviations between them?
A. Process enhancement
B. Conformance checking
C. Process discovery
D. Regulatory compliance - ✔✔B. Conformance checking
✔✔What are the for purposes for Process Mining? - ✔✔- Discover patterns in real life
- Check for conformance and deviations
- Identify root causes for deviations
- Create and monitor key metrics
✔✔What is Conformance Checking? - ✔✔This is when Process Mining identifies
deviations and uncovers root causes in a Discovered Model. These deviations include:
Skipped events
Additional events
Event order switching
Alternative paths
✔✔Process Mining puts you in charge of the insight gained from process mining.
Process discovery reveals what your processes are like in real life.
