Best practices for Creating KC & Documents

 

 Best Practices for Appian developers

Appian best practices are like a check list, use these checklists at different stages of your development cycle as described to ensure application success and reduce technical risk. Each section provides guidance for when and how often you should use these.

4.Best practices for Creating KC & Documents :-

KC (Knowledge Center) :-

1.Provide proper name with description.

2.DO NOT use duplicate names while creating Knowledge Center.

3.Configure appropriate Security and inherit the same for folders created inside KC.

4.Create the knowledge center with required folder structure to store the application specific documents

5.When modifying the Knowledge Center's expiration date, enter the number of days until it expires, not an actual date.

Documents :-

1.Links to documents should always be linked through constants, not to the document directly. If the document is then changed, or a new version is uploaded, then the process or channel does not need to be updated; only the single constant needs to be updated for all the links that document might have in the application.

2.Reference documents should all be kept in the same folder with a corresponding folder of constants with which to reference them.
