In Appian, what kind of data can Process Models manipulate?

Process Models in Appian are designed to interact with both static and dynamic data. Static data refers to fixed information that does not change over time, such as predefined values or reference data that is used within processes. Dynamic data, on the other hand, can change during the execution of a process depending on user interactions, data inputs, or the outcomes of specific tasks.

This dual ability allows Process Models to be versatile and adaptable. For instance, they can leverage static data for initial conditions or configuration settings while also manipulating dynamic data generated through user interactions or external integrations during the process execution. As processes often require real-time responses and data updates, the ability to handle dynamic data is crucial for effective workflow management.

The other options suggest limitations that do not accurately represent the capabilities of Process Models. Static data only would not encompass the flexibility needed in many scenarios, and focusing solely on user-inputted data ignores the broader context in which Process Models operate. Similarly, while Process Models can interface with external data through integrations, they are not limited to just that kind of data—they can also manage internal data effectively. Thus, recognizing the combination of both dynamic and static data is key to understanding the full potential of Process Models in Appian.
