A selection query groups fields by common values and allows using a function to produce a calculated result. True or False?

The statement is indeed false. In Appian, while selection queries do allow grouping of fields by common values, they do not inherently produce calculated results through functions as a general feature. Instead, calculated results would typically depend on specific aggregation functions that need to be applied to the grouped fields. This behavior delineates a clear distinction between general grouping and the calculation process.

Furthermore, the assertion does not capture the full functionality of Appian when it comes to handling data that requires aggregation or computation, as these processes often involve additional steps beyond mere grouping. Therefore, understanding the capabilities and limitations of selection queries within Appian systems is essential for effective data manipulation and reporting.
