You recently started working on a project to build an application for an insurance company. You need to display insurance claim data on an Appian report for users to view. Users are not permitted to make changes to the data. Which Appian interface component should you use to best satisfy these requirements?

• A. Report dashboard
• B. List item field
• C. Read only grid
• D. Editable grid

Answer: (C)

When users must view data but not change it, present the information in a read-only grid. This component shows tabular data such as insurance claims in a grid format and disables all editing controls, so users can scroll, sort, and review records without any ability to modify them. It directly enforces a view-only experience while still leveraging a structured, familiar data layout.

Other options don’t fit as neatly: a read-only grid is specifically designed for viewing with no edits, while an editable grid would permit changes, violating the requirement. A list item field is better suited for individual items within a list rather than displaying an entire dataset in a tabular, report-like format. A report dashboard can display data, but it’s more about presenting analytics and visuals; for a straightforward, non-editable view of claim records, the read-only grid provides the simplest, most reliable solution.
