What defines an actionable record in Appian?

An actionable record in Appian is defined as data that allows users to take actions based on it. This means that users can not only review the information presented but also engage with it through features that enable decision-making or task completion. For instance, actionable records can support workflows such as applying for a loan, updating information, or submitting a request, where the user has the capability to interact with the data in a meaningful way.

In contrast to other options, static data that cannot be modified does not provide avenues for user interaction, thus failing to meet the criteria of being actionable. Data that can be viewed but not interacted with similarly doesn't provide the dynamic experience necessary for tasks. Furthermore, a report of past events focuses on historical data that does not facilitate current interaction or action. Therefore, it is the interactive nature of actionable records that distinguishes them as tools for driving user engagement and decision-making within the Appian platform.
