What is a gateway? - PM node that allows you to evaluate different criteria to make decisions on
which paths your workflow should follow as well as how many instances are allowed to follow
each optional path
What are the types of gateway nodes? - 1) XOR
2) OR
3) COMPLEX
4) AND
What is an AND gateway? - directs all incoming workflows to all possible branches
-if more than one incoming path is used, all incoming paths must reach node before the process
can continue
-can be used to join incoming paths into single workflow or diverge paths
What's the other names for AND gateway? - Parallel fork/Join
What is an XOR gateway? - type of node that allows one incoming path to continue, while
excluding any others
-only *ONE* condition can be true (executes single outgoing path determined by conditions you
set)
Other names for XOR Gateway - Exclusive Decision/Merge (Exclusive OR)
What is an OR gateway? - type of gateway node directing incoming flows to one of many
possible output paths based on condition u set
-*multiple* conditions can be true
can have multiple incoming and outgoing paths
Other names for OR gateway - Inclusive Decision/Merge
What is an COMPLEX gateway? - -gateway allowing u to selectively accept (or restrict)
incoming paths & eval rules to determine outgoing paths
-can restrict number of incoming paths it takes and number of outgoing paths it produces (can
behave like an AND, XOR, and OR)
Other names for COMPLEX - Complex Decision/Merge
True or False?
, Complex node gets executed regardless of whether or not the preceding paths feed into it or not -
True
Who can be the Product Owner of a project's software? - Someone on the business side (i.e.
customer/business owner/end-user)
-represent the business (client)
What is a wizard? - an interface design pattern structured to allow you to divide a big form into
sections presented one step at a time with validation
-users should be able to step back and forth within the wizard without losing daata b/w steps
A _________________ component displays the completed, current, and future steps of a process
or sequence, such as a user's current step in a wizard or the current state of a business process -
milestone
What are some parameters a!milestoneField() has? - steps, active, orientation, label position,
links
What are the two orientations available to a milestone? - 1) horizontal
2) vertical
What is an Process Report? - Appian object used for configuring a report based off of a task, PM,
or process info to display on a site
Two ways to access a site? - 1) Navigation menu
2) URL from site object
Create User Task on Tempo - Create Process Report first > Create UI > Create Expression Rule
> Create Report from UI > Add to Site
Creating a Process Report - Name > Description > Report Type: 1) PM 2) Process (instances) 3)
Task (from UIT) > Report Type Choice: Task > Context Type: auto-displays depending on the
type selected > Select "Tasks by PM" > Save In: a Document Folder (Create one if there isn't one
already) >Store doc in doc Parent Folder > CREATE
Designing A Process Report - Click "No Context: (beside report name at the top) > add PM >
report will be populated with active instances > only want to see active tasks, so go to filters >
filter by "active"
True or False?
Archived or deleted processes are available for inclusion in the PR (Process Report) - False
