You are building a complaints management application for a customer. When an employee receives a client complaint, the employee will create a new case record in Appian with the complaint details.
Depending on the complaint details, the Legal team may be required to take action on the case. If the Legal team fails to take action on those cases, then the customer will be out of compliance. Currently, only the Legal team is able to assess whether or not a case requires action from their team.

Which action would best assist the Legal team and mitigate compliance risks?

Question #15 (Topic: Exam A)
Your customer is a large university that uses an Appian application for student data. The main users of the application are student advisors who examine student metrics and receive biweekly emails about their student's progress. A parent process model has already been built to fulfill this requirement.
The university's new initiative is to improve graduation rates. To do this, they want to update the biweekly email to include a report for each student identified as having a high risk of not graduating.
For example, if a student advisor has 15 students assigned, and two (2) students are identified as high risk, there should be two (2) reports attached to the update email. If no high-risk activities are identified, the process sends the email update without any attachments.
How should you add the smart services nodes to calculate risk and generate the report prior to sending the email?
