What are Interfaces used for in Appian?

• A. Used to build forms, summaries, reports, portals and more.
• B. Provide an intuitive way for users to view and interact with applications.
• C. Groups represent personas.
• D. Drive actions performed in an application.

Answer: (A)

Interfaces define the user-facing UI in Appian. They are the building blocks for what users see and interact with, including forms for data input, summaries and reports for presenting information, and portals or pages that expose parts of an app to users. This UI layer is reusable and can be composed of multiple components to create consistent screens across the application.

While interfaces do provide an intuitive way for users to view and interact with applications, the most concrete way they’re described is as the structures you build to present and capture data—forms, dashboards, reports, and portal-style pages. Actions in an app are typically driven by processes and rules, not the interface itself, and groups relate to security and personas rather than the UI.
