Appian Senior Developer (ACD101) — Question 12

You need to add a new attribute to your database-backed synced Acme employee record.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Add the new field manually to the ACME_Employee database table and run a database script to resync the Acme employee record.
• B. In the record data model, you add the new field in the ADD SOURCE FIELDS. Save the field with the Update Table checkbox active.
• C. In the record data model, you add the new field with ADD RELATIONSHIPS. Save the newly created relationship and use the field.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adding the new field in the ADD SOURCE FIELDS section ensures that it is properly integrated within the data model for syncing. Option A is incorrect as it involves manual changes to the database which could lead to inconsistencies. Option C is also incorrect because ADD RELATIONSHIPS is not the appropriate method for adding a new attribute, but rather for linking related data.
