You have to build a user experience for employees logged into your Appian app. What type of user experience will you build?

• A. A Site
• B. A Portal
• C. A Record Type
• D. An Interface

Answer: (A)

In Appian, to deliver a cohesive experience for employees who are logged in, you build a Site. A Site serves as the top-level user-facing container that brings together navigation, branding, and multiple pages or content areas. Inside a Site you can host various interfaces, dashboards, and links to records, creating a consistent, browsable experience for authenticated users. A Portal is aimed more at external audiences and has a different access model, so it isn’t the right fit for internal employees. A Record Type is simply the data structure you work with, not the user experience, and an Interface is the UI for a single page or component—useful, but it lives inside the Site to form the complete user experience.
