NEW QUESTION # 39
Which of the following Advanced Search features would allow you to build a top-down organizational hierarchy of all employees in the Contacts Application?
- A. External References and Enforce Relationships
- B. Internal References and Directional Search
- C. Drill Down Reporting
- D. Statistical Search
Answer: B
Explanation:
To build a hierarchical view within a single application (like a "Manager" field in the Contacts application that points back to another record in the Contacts application), Archer utilizes Internal References . As taught in the Archer Administration II Advanced Search module, when an application references itself, you can use Directional Search logic to traverse the hierarchy.
By configuring the search to look "Upstream" or "Downstream" through the internal reference, Archer can recursively find all subordinates under a manager or all managers above an employee. This allows the system to flatten a complex organizational tree into a readable report. External References (Option B) are used between different applications, and Statistical Search (Option D) is used for mathematical aggregations (Sum, Count, Average). Only the combination of Internal References and Directional Search provides the specialized recursive logic required to map out a multi-level organizational hierarchy.
NEW QUESTION # 40
When installing Archer on a single server, what should you ensure?
- A. All components (web application, services, Instance database, AWF service) are installed and configured on the same server
- B. The AWF service runs on a different server
- C. The instance database is in the cloud
- D. Components are installed on separate servers
Answer: A
Explanation:
In a Single-Server Installation (typically used for Sandbox, Development, or small-scale environments), the goal is to consolidate the entire Archer architecture onto one machine. According to the Archer Administration II setup guides, this means the Web Server (IIS), the Archer Services (Job Engine, Indexing), the Advanced Workflow (AWF) service, and the SQL Server Instance Database must all reside on that single host.
While production environments favor a distributed model (Option B) for performance and redundancy, a single-server setup requires that all roles are configured to point to "localhost" or the local server's IP. The administrator must ensure the server has sufficient CPU and RAM to handle the overlapping resource demands of the SQL database engine and the Archer web services simultaneously. Options C and D describe
"Distributed" or "Hybrid" models, which contradict the definition of a single-server installation.
NEW QUESTION # 41
What action should never be completed using the Advanced Workflow Job Troubleshooting tool?
- A. Editing the Advanced Workflow.
- B. Canceling a job.
- C. Manually moving a record to the next node.
- D. Restarting a job.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Advanced Workflow Job Troubleshooting tool is a runtime utility designed to manage individual
"instances" of records currently enrolled in a workflow. It is used to fix records that are stuck due to errors.
According to the Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics guide, this tool is purely for operational maintenance (Cancel, Reset, Restart, or "Force" movement).
Editing the Advanced Workflow structure (changing the flowchart, adding nodes, or modifying logic) cannot be done within the Troubleshooting tool. Workflow design changes must be made in the Application Builder under the Workflow tab. Attempting to "fix" a logic error by changing the design is a development task, whereas the Troubleshooting tool is an administrative task for existing data. Furthermore, editing a workflow requires saving a new version and potentially migrating active jobs, a process entirely separate from the record-level "Reset/Cancel" functions found in the Job Troubleshooting interface.
NEW QUESTION # 42
What are the prerequisites for installing Archer? Select all that apply.
- A. SQL Server
- B. Apache Runtime Environment
- C. .NET Framework
- D. IIS
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Archer is a Windows-based enterprise application that relies on the Microsoft technology stack. As detailed in the Archer Installation and Troubleshooting guide, there are three primary prerequisites for a successful deployment:
* IIS (Internet Information Services): This is the web server that hosts the Archer web interface and APIs.
* SQL Server: Archer requires a Microsoft SQL Server database to store all application data, metadata, and the instance configurations.
* Microsoft .NET Framework: Archer is built on .NET; specific versions (such as 4.7.2 or higher, depending on the Archer version) must be installed for the web and service components to function.
Apache (Option A) is an alternative web server used primarily for Linux-based environments and is not a prerequisite or a supported web server for the Archer platform.
NEW QUESTION # 43
Which service must be installed and enabled on all Web and Services Servers?
- A. Archer Workflow Service
- B. Archer Queuing Service
- C. Archer Configuration Service
- D. Archer Core Service
Answer: C
Explanation:
In a distributed (multi-host) Archer environment, the Archer Configuration Service is the most critical underlying component that must exist on every server in the web and services tiers. As taught in Archer Administration II , this service is responsible for "registering" the server with the Archer Control Panel (ACP) .
The Configuration Service allows the central ACP to communicate with each node in the cluster to manage settings, update the nlog.config files, and ensure that all servers are using the correct database connection strings. While the Queuing Service (Option C) might only reside on the Services server, and the Workflow Service (Option B) is specific to AWF tasks, the Configuration Service is the "heartbeat" that connects any given Archer server to the instance's central management framework. If this service is stopped on a web server, that server will effectively become "orphaned" and will not be able to process user requests correctly or receive updates from the ACP.
NEW QUESTION # 44
Which SSO method is easiest to set up and automatically handles user authentication in Windows-based environments?
- A. Federated SSO
- B. Windows Integrated SSO
- C. Token Based SSO
Answer: B
Explanation:
In a standard corporate environment where users are already logged into a Windows Domain, Windows Integrated SSO (WIA) is considered the "easiest" and most seamless method. According to the Archer installation guides, WIA utilizes the NTLM or Kerberos protocols already built into the Windows OS and Internet Information Services (IIS).
Because the web server and the user's workstation share a common trust via Active Directory, the user is authenticated automatically without needing to provide credentials or interact with a third-party identity provider (IdP). While Federated SSO (Option C), like SAML, is more robust for cloud or multi-platform environments, it requires significantly more configuration, including certificate exchanges and metadata mapping. Token Based SSO (Option B) often requires custom coding or specialized header injection. For a pure Windows-based internal environment, Windows Integrated SSO provides the most "out-of-the-box" experience for both the administrator and the end-user.
NEW QUESTION # 45
Dynamic Filtering can be found in which of the following areas? Select all that apply:
- A. Advanced Search
- B. Report Object
- C. Calculated Cross Reference
- D. Record Lookup
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Dynamic Filtering is a sophisticated feature that allows Archer to filter data based on the context of the current record or the current user. In Archer Administration II , this is highlighted as a tool for improving the user experience by reducing "data noise."
* Record Lookup (A): Allows you to filter the available records in a lookup based on a value in the current record (e.g., only show "Users" that belong to the "Department" selected on the form).
* Calculated Cross Reference (B): Uses dynamic logic to automatically link records based on matching field values.
* Report Object (C): When a report is placed on a record as a "Record-Level Report," Dynamic Filtering ensures the report only shows data related to that specific record (e.g., showing only
"Findings" related to "Asset A" when viewing Asset A).
Advanced Search (D) does NOT support Dynamic Filtering in the same "contextual" sense; Advanced Searches use static filters or "Current User" filters, but they do not dynamically react to field values in a specific source record during the search build process like the other three objects.
NEW QUESTION # 46
What happens if an Administrator runs a Data Import source file that contains a value for a Values List field that is not an existing value?
- A. The new value will be added to the record and appended to the Values List field values available for selection.
- B. The Data Import will process and this value will be discarded.
- C. The Data Import fails unless this new value is appended to the values available for selection.
- D. The new value will be added to the record only with no change to the Values List field values.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Archer, Values List fields are strictly validated against the pre-defined options in the field configuration.
During a manual Data Import , if the source file contains a value that does not exactly match an existing entry in the Values List, the import for that specific record (or the entire process, depending on settings) will fail.
According to the Archer Administration II guide, for the import to succeed with new data, the administrator must first enable the "Create new values for Values List fields" option in the Data Import settings. If this is not enabled, Archer treats the unknown value as an error. This is a critical data integrity feature that prevents
"dirty data" from entering the system. Unlike a Data Feed, which has more advanced "lookup" and "creation" logic, the Data Import tool is less flexible by default to ensure administrators are consciously deciding whether to expand the application's metadata.
NEW QUESTION # 47
Using LDAP an Administrator can do which of the following? Select all that apply:
- A. Synchronize an organizations Directory users and groups with an Archer Instance
- B. Allow updates and changes made in the organization's directory server to automatically reflect in Archer
- C. Make users login to Archer automatically without username and password
- D. Reflect user changes from Archer to organization's directory server
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
The Archer LDAP Synchronization service is a "one-way" synchronization tool from the Directory Server (e.g., Active Directory) to Archer.
* A and D are correct: The service allows for the synchronization of users and groups (D), ensuring that any updates-such as name changes, department updates, or account deactivations (A)-made in the directory server are mirrored in Archer.
* B is incorrect: LDAP Synchronization does not facilitate "automatic" login (SSO). While LDAP Authentication can be used to verify a password, the seamless "no username/password" experience is provided by Windows Integrated SSO or SAML , which are distinct from the synchronization service.
* C is incorrect: Archer cannot write back to the organization's directory server. It is a consumer of LDAP data, not a manager of it. Changes made in Archer (like updating a phone number in the User Profile) will not be pushed back to Active Directory; in fact, they will likely be overwritten by the next LDAP sync.
NEW QUESTION # 48
When importing data through the Data Import Wizard, if you choose the Import Type as "Update Existing Records", which of the following is true?
- A. A number of the matching records will be updated.
- B. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be discarded.
- C. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be added as new records.
- D. Matching records will be discarded and unmatched records will be added as new records.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Data Import Wizard offers three distinct processing modes: "Add New Records," "Update Existing Records," and "Add New and Update Existing Records." According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, the "Update Existing Records" mode is highly restrictive. It is used when an administrator only wants to modify records that already reside in the system.
During the import, Archer uses the specified Key Field(s) to find matches between the source file and the target application. If a match is found, the existing record is updated with the new data from the source file.
However, if a row in the source file does not have a corresponding match in Archer, that row is simply ignored and discarded . No new records are created. This is a safety measure to prevent the accidental creation of "orphan" or duplicate data when the intent is strictly maintenance of existing content. If an administrator wishes to both update matches and create new records for non-matches, they must specifically choose the "Add New and Update Existing Records" (Upsert) option.
NEW QUESTION # 49
What feature in the Administration Menu allows you to troubleshoot users' record permissions?
- A. Admin Notifications
- B. Access Control Reports
- C. Investigate Access
- D. Manage Users
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the Archer security model, record-level access is determined by the complex intersection of Access Roles , Groups , and Record Permission Fields . According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, the Investigate Access tool is the primary diagnostic utility for troubleshooting "Why can't User X see Record Y?" Unlike standard reports, Investigate Access allows an administrator to select a specific user and a specific record (or application) and run a simulation. The tool then provides a detailed breakdown of the "Final Access" (Read, Update, Delete) and, crucially, explains how that access was derived. It will highlight if the user is being granted access via a specific Group, if a Record Permission field is restricting them, or if their Access Role lacks the necessary rights. This is more efficient than the Access Control Reports (Option C), which provide a broad overview of permissions but do not provide the record-specific context that
"Investigate Access" offers for pinpoint troubleshooting.
NEW QUESTION # 50
Assume you make changes to an existing workflow design but you don't run the Bulk Update Jobs. What will happen to any records which existed before making the changes to the AWF?
- A. The active jobs for these records will fail
- B. The jobs will be marked as cancelled
- C. The records will automatically enroll in the new version of AWF
- D. The records will process in the original version they were enrolled in.
Answer: D
Explanation:
In Archer Advanced Workflow, "Versioning" is a core concept designed to ensure data integrity. When a record enters a workflow, it is "enrolled" in the specific version of the workflow that is active at that moment.
According to the Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics curriculum, if an administrator modifies the workflow (e.g., adding a new node or changing a path) and saves it as a new version, the existing records do not automatically move to that new version.
Instead, they remain in the original version they were enrolled in. This prevents active records from
"breaking" if a node they were currently sitting on was deleted in the newer version. To move existing records to the latest logic, the administrator must manually use the Bulk Update Jobs tool found in the Advanced Workflow tab of the application. This tool validates whether the records can safely transition from the old version's current state to a corresponding state in the new version. Without this manual action, the records will continue to follow the "legacy" path until they complete the workflow.
NEW QUESTION # 51
Failed user login, Access Role Created and Deleted, and password change by user events are viewed in:
- A. Security Events Report
- B. Access Control Rights by Role Report
- C. Locked Accounts Report
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Security Events Report is the primary auditing tool for tracking administrative and sensitive user actions within the Archer platform. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, this report captures a broad spectrum of "event-based" security data that standard access reports do not cover.
Specifically, it logs every failed login attempt , which is critical for identifying potential brute-force attacks.
It also tracks metadata changes to the security infrastructure, such as when an Access Role is created or deleted , providing an audit trail of who modified the system's permissions. Furthermore, it records password changes initiated by users. While the "Locked Accounts Report" (Option B) only shows users currently barred from the system, the Security Events Report provides the historical context of why those events occurred. It is an essential resource for compliance officers and system auditors to ensure that the integrity of the Archer environment's security configuration remains intact.
NEW QUESTION # 52
Question display rules are set up by an administrator to conditionally show or hide questions in a questionnaire. How often are these rules evaluated?
- A. Every time the questionnaire record is updated
- B. Every time the target record is updated
- C. Every time the target record is saved
- D. Only when the questionnaire record is created
Answer: A
Explanation:
In the Archer Questionnaire module, Display Rules function similarly to Conditional Layouts in standard applications, but they operate within the specific context of the Assessment/Questionnaire record. These rules are "active" logic. According to the Questionnaires and Assessment Maintenance curriculum, these rules are evaluated every time the questionnaire record is updated .
This means as a user is actively answering questions, the system evaluates the responses in real-time. If a user selects "Yes" to a specific question, the display rule immediately triggers to show the follow-up questions. If they change it to "No," the follow-up questions are hidden. This real-time evaluation ensures a streamlined user experience, preventing the user from seeing irrelevant questions. This is distinct from a "Save" event (Option D); if the rules only evaluated on save, the user would have to constantly save the record to see the next set of questions, which would be highly inefficient.
NEW QUESTION # 53
The Open Data Protocol (OData) allows ...
- A. The SOAP API to narrow down the responses sent back from the server.
- B. The RESTful API to perform Advanced Search and subsequently run reports.
- C. The SOAP API to perform Advanced Search and subsequently run reports.
- D. The RESTful API to narrow down the responses sent back from the server.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The RESTful API in Archer utilizes the OData (Open Data Protocol) standard to provide powerful querying capabilities. According to the Archer Administration II integration documentation, OData allows developers to use specific URL parameters-such as $filter, $select, $top, and $orderby-to refine the data returned by the API.
Without OData, a REST call might return every field for every record in an application, leading to significant overhead and slow response times. By using OData, the client can "narrow down the responses" by requesting only specific fields (using $select) or only records that meet certain criteria (using $filter). This is fundamentally different from the SOAP API (Options B and D), which relies on structured XML search requests. OData is what makes the RESTful API efficient for mobile applications and external integrations that require specific, lightweight data payloads.
NEW QUESTION # 54
What does the user status change to if the user violates the maximum login attempts?
- A. Disabled
- B. Active
- C. Inactive
- D. Locked
Answer: D
Explanation:
In the Archer Security Parameters configuration (found in the Archer Control Panel or the Administration workspace), administrators define the "Maximum login attempts." According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, when a user exceeds this threshold (e.g., five failed attempts), the system automatically updates their account status to Locked .
It is important to distinguish "Locked" from "Inactive" or "Disabled." An Inactive or Disabled account usually implies an administrative action or a termination of the user's employment. A Locked status is a temporary security measure triggered by the system to prevent "brute force" attacks. Depending on the Security Parameter settings, a locked account may automatically unlock after a specified duration (e.g., 30 minutes), or it may require an administrator to manually click the "Unlock" button within the user's profile.
This distinction allows administrators to run reports specifically on "Locked" users to identify potential security threats or users who simply need assistance with their credentials.
NEW QUESTION # 55
When Sarah gets to work, she logs into her Windows computer using her username and password. As part of her daily routine, she needs to view some reports inside Archer. How does Sarah access Archer reports without typing her login details again?
- A. By using a password manager
- B. Through Windows Integrated SSO
- C. By manually entering her credentials
- D. With biometric authentication
Answer: B
Explanation:
The scenario described is a classic implementation of Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) , a form of Single Sign-On (SSO). As detailed in the Archer Installation and Troubleshooting guides, when Archer is configured for Windows Integrated SSO, it leverages the Kerberos or NTLM protocol. Since Sarah has already authenticated to the Windows Domain at the start of her shift, her browser passes her "security token" directly to the Archer web server (IIS).
The Archer Control Panel (ACP) must be configured to recognize the domain, and the user's Archer account must have their Windows account name (e.g., DOMAIN\Username) populated in the "Domain Account" field. This creates a seamless "handshake" that bypasses the Archer login screen entirely. Unlike a password manager (Option C), which still technically "types" the details, or biometrics (Option B), which requires a new physical scan, Windows Integrated SSO provides a passive experience where the existing OS-level authentication is trusted by the application, drastically improving user workflow and productivity.
NEW QUESTION # 56
Which of the following is true about the report content in a Scheduled Report Distribution?
- A. Content in the attached report depends on the access rights of the user who created the report.
- B. Content in the attached report varies based on access rights granted to the recipient.
- C. Content in the attached report depends on the access rights of the administrator who built the Scheduled Report Distribution.
- D. Content in the attached report will be updated in the recipient's inbox with real-time data.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Scheduled Report Distributions behave differently than standard "On-Demand" reports. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, when a report is scheduled for distribution (e.g., emailed as a PDF or Excel file), the Archer platform must "impersonate" a user to run the query and generate the file.
The platform uses the security context of the user who configured the Scheduled Report Distribution (typically an administrator). This means that all recipients of the email will see the exact same data-the data that the administrator is authorized to see. This is a critical security consideration: if an administrator has
"System Administrator" rights and schedules a report for a group of low-privilege users, those users may see sensitive data in the attachment that they would not be able to see if they logged into Archer directly. Option B is incorrect because the system does not run a separate query for every individual recipient's unique permissions at the time of the email burst.
NEW QUESTION # 57
If a valid global search returns no results, where is that logged?
- A. Configuration service log file
- B. Job framework log file
- C. Queuing service log file
- D. Data feed service log file
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the Archer architecture, search operations-particularly Global Search and Indexing -are handled by the Search service, which operates under the broader Job Framework . According to the Archer Installation and Troubleshooting guide, when a user executes a search that is technically "valid" (meaning the syntax is correct) but fails to return expected results or fails during execution, the details are captured in the Job Framework log files .
These logs provide insight into how the Search service is interacting with the Lucene indexes. If the index is corrupt or if the search query is timing out, the Job Framework logs (usually found in the \Logs directory on the Services server) will contain the specific stack traces or warnings. The Configuration Service (Option A) only logs system-level startup and ACP connectivity, and the Data Feed Service (Option D) is irrelevant to UI search queries. Reviewing the Job Framework logs is the standard first step for administrators when users report that "search isn't working" despite records clearly existing in the system.
NEW QUESTION # 58
Which of the following allows you to export record data to a preconfigured Microsoft Word document?
- A. Subscription Notifications
- B. Scheduled Report Distributions
- C. Mail Merge Templates
- D. On Demand Notification Templates
Answer: C
Explanation:
Mail Merge Templates are the specific feature in Archer designed to bridge the gap between Archer record data and Microsoft Office documents. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, these templates allow administrators to upload a Word .docx file containing "mail merge tags" that correspond to Archer field aliases.
When a user triggers the mail merge (via the Export button on a record), Archer dynamically replaces those tags with the actual data from the record and generates a finished document. This is the standard method for producing formal reports, certificates, or letters that require specific corporate branding and formatting that cannot be achieved with a standard CSV or PDF export. On Demand Notification Templates (Option C) are for emails, and Scheduled Report Distributions (Option B) are for sending saved Archer reports on a timer, not for creating formatted Word documents based on a single record's context.
