Which of the following features is available only when data sync is enabled on a record type?

• A. Define record type relationships
• B. Add custom record fields
• C. Configure record-level security
• D. View data in a dashboard

Answer: (A)

Enabling data sync on a record type unlocks the ability to define relationships to other record types. With data sync, Appian stores data in a structured, relational way and brings in metadata that models how records are related, so you can set up parent–child or lookup links between record types and navigate across them. This capability allows you to create interconnected views and reports that join data from related records. Other actions—adding custom fields, configuring record-level security, and viewing data in a dashboard—do not depend on data sync, so they can be used with or without synced data.
