Question #4

In a boat repair case type, clients can set their boat type as Powered, Sail, or Row. During the Inspection stage, the Inspect Boat process prompts technicians to inspect the common parts of all boats. However, if .boatType = ‘Sail,’ the technicians are additionally prompted to complete the Inspect Sailboat process.

How do you configure the case life cycle to achieve this behavior?

  • A . Configure the Inspect Boat process to start if the .boatTypc is not Powered’- Otherwise, the process is skipped.
  • B . Configure the Inspect Sailboat process to start if the .boatType = ‘Sail’. Otherwise, the process is skipped.
  • C . Configure the Inspect Boat process to start if the .boatType = ‘Sail’. Otherwise, the process is skipped.
  • D . Configure the Inspect Sailboat process to start if the .boatType is not ‘Powered’.
    Otherwise, the process is skipped.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

To display the Inspect Sailboat process only if .boatType = ‘Sail’, you need to configure the process to start if the .boatType property equals ‘Sail’. Otherwise, the process is skipped and the case life cycle continues to the next step. This way, only sailboats are inspected for sail-specific parts, while other boat types are inspected for common parts only. The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant for this requirement.
