CAS-PA Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: ABD

When you use Analytics QandA, the suggestions from previous searches are now shown together with the suggested indicators, tables, and columns. As you type in a query, Analytics QandA suggests recent searches, indicators, tables, and

columns that match what you have typed so far. Only the tables and columns to which you have access are shown.

If Analytics QandA cannot determine which table you want, it shows you up to three likely tables.

Correct Answer: D

On the Analytics Hub, no roles are required to create personal targets and thresholds. A threshold or a target can be personal or global. A personal threshold or target is visible only to the user that created it. A personal threshold appears as a

light grey dotted line. A personal target appears as a dark line.

Personal thresholds and targets appear only on the Analytics Hub and KPI Details but not on widgets.

Correct Answer: A

A breakdown source is defined as a set of records from a table or database view or as a bucket group. Multiple breakdowns can use the same breakdown source. Breakdown sources specify which unique values, called breakdown elements,

a breakdown contains.

Breakdown source records have a related list that lists the breakdowns that are based on that source. You can create a breakdown by selecting the `New' button while in this list. The list works like the Indicators list on indicator source

records. Other options in this question do not exist on the breakdown source form. After you create breakdowns that use this source, these breakdowns are listed in the Breakdowns tab.

Correct Answer: B

To support notifications, the KPI Signals application provides automated signal detection jobs. For formula indicators, you can modify the jobs to line up with the data collection jobs for the contributing indicators.

The KPI Signals application includes jobs that detect signals automatically. These jobs run so responsible users can be notified of new signals without opening the application. The job for signals on formula indicators requires scheduling.

When you view an indicator in KPI Details and open the KPI Signals panel, that indicator is checked for signals. You, therefore, always have the most up-to-date signals. However, the KPI Signals application also has automated signal

detection jobs. These jobs send notifications about signals to subscribed users without them having the application open.

Correct Answer: B

As a responsible user, you can receive email notifications about new or unresolved signals, anti-signals, or any actions taken on signals.

You can configure how frequently you get these reminders and the maximum number of reminders to get for a signal.

You no longer have to open KPI Signals and manually check each KPI for signals. Scheduling a report for the signal data does not provide real-time updates. Manually check the KPI for signals and monitoring the signal score on a dashboard

requires the user to constantly check for the updates without a pause, which is not easy.

Correct Answer: C

Analyse scores using time periods from a custom business calendar instead of only the standard calendar.

When you are creating an Indicator Source, you can select either the standard calendar or a business calendar defined on the instance.

If you use a business calendar, you can create data collection jobs that run on the Business Calendar: Entry start or Business Calendar: Entry end times. If you select a business calendar, you have the Calendar Frequency field. This field is

required. The business calendar you selected determines the range of available frequencies.

(Optional) If you have configured this indicator source to use a business calendar, set the number of periods to retain scores and snapshots and find seasonal patterns.

Correct Answer: D

The data visualisation component configuration adds more options and an enhanced user interface.

You can configure new visualisations in Workspace from tables and indicators using the Data Visualisation configuration.

From the UI Builder, you can add visualisations to your landing page based on Performance Analytics and Reporting data. Configure a new visualisation by dragging the Data Visualisation configuration icon onto the Stage pane. The following

styling options are added in the Quebec release:

*

Show or hide a visualisation component header on a landing page, along with its label and icons.

*

Change score sizes of single score visualisations.

*

Set default, palette, or single colour options for data display.

*

Sort on categories in bar, pie, and donut visualisations based on table data sources.

*

Define data label positions and show labels that overlap on bar visualisations. Creating a new visualisation type is not an available styling option.

Correct Answer: D

Create a single User Experience filter for use across all the visualisations in a workspace. The filter you create is available in the workspace in which you created it. For filters to work in workspaces, you must configure an event handler to apply the filters.

Correct Answer: BC

You can add multiple data sources of the same type for time series (including Area, Column, Line, Stepline, and Spline) and bar (including Horizontal bar and Vertical bar) visualisations.

Correct Answer: B

par_vis_config.data_source.can_select_indicator property specifies roles (comma- separated) which can select indicators as data sources from the Data Visualisation configuration panel. If empty, all users can select the indicator sources that they have access to. Type: string

Default value: empty

Location: System Property [sys_properties] table com.snc.pa.dc.max_row_count_indicator_source property sets the maximum number of rows allowed to be fetched from an Indicator Source. glide.source_control.checksum_required property

allows you to enable optional checksum validations and sanitisations.

glide.knowman.search.apply_role_based_security property honours read access to knowledge bases or articles specified for roles if set to true. If false, it enables specified user criteria to override read access specified for roles.
