Appian Lead Developer (ACD200) — Question 15
You have been asked to produce a Tempo report, with the following requirements:
The report should display in Appian.
The data is held in a business database, but performance in Appian is a key requirement.
Which three actions can you take to minimize the performance impact of your report? (Choose three.)
Answer options
- A. Display the report as a task report on the Tasks tab.
- B. Limit the number of series values and categories in the report.
- C. Use local variables in your report interface to avoid redundant database queries.
- D. Use the query process analytics function to retrieve the data.
- E. Perform aggregation in the database using a view prior to reading the data into Appian.
Correct answer: B, C, E
Explanation
Options B, C, and E are effective ways to enhance report performance. Limiting series values and categories (B) reduces data volume, using local variables (C) prevents multiple database queries, and aggregating data in the database with a view (E) minimizes data processing in Appian. Option A does not specifically address performance optimization, and option D does not inherently improve performance.
