AI and Agentic Automation

Hi Appian Community, hope you are doing wellI have the following use case, The solution should be intelligent enough to capture the payslip documents from the end user and extract the data from the payslip document. As with Appian 23.4 release the AI skill has became much more smarter and works like a charm for documents that have similar structure. But, in this particular use case each user can have a different format of payslip that will be uploaded to the system, although all the payslips will be pdf and will be a structured document, but again can vary in terms of format. What is the best way to train the model so it can capture data from these payslips. Also, in case it is not possible can you please suggest a workaround as well.Regards

Hello, How would I go about Base64 encoding a string inside of an expression? In my use case, I have an input to a process model where parameters is a list of type map I would like to wrap local!JOB_ID in a function that converts it to Base64. processParameters: { parameters: { a!map("operationId": 210), a!map("jobId": local!JOB_ID), } } Thank you!

Hello all,We have a requirement to extract the data from the Driving License & Passport images. The catch here is that the user might have clicked it from his phone and sent it to us so We are converting them into PDF but we are not able to extract data from it as it is a semi or unstructured document. Please help if any kind of extraction is possible in such documents.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a expression rule which has the result : Name - Company - Phoneno.  I concatenated with "-" when I get the above 3 values. In some cases, the name can be blank / company / phone no. If the name is blank, my result is like  -company-phoneno. If the phoneno is blank, then it's name-company-How to remove the - if the value is not present ?

I have below expression to get the country groups without groups ids. It is working fine when I pass the country name without special characters.  if( rule!APN_isBlank(ri!countryName), {}, a!forEach( items: ri!countryName, expression: rule!APN_replaceNull( nullableValue: group( tointeger(getgroupbyname("RGRACSLBL_" & fv!item)), "groupName" ), replacementValue: group( tointeger( getgroupbyname( "RGRACSLBL_" & stripwith( fv!item, joinarray(cons!RGRACSLBL_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS, "") ) ) ), "groupName" ) ) ) ) But I'm getting below error when I pass a country with special character even though I have special character check in the code. Please help in resolving the error.  For example the country name with special characters : "Bolivia, Plurinational State of", I should get the group name as "RGRACSLBL

Hi, not a problem but following code should throw some error, but it is evaluating.Here a comma is missing, and we are using a local variable in its definition, which should throw an error. Also, we can try various P&C./*Code 1*/ a!localVariables(local!data: 2 * 5tointeger(2 * local!data)) /*Code 2*/ a!localVariables(local!data: 2 * 5tostring(2 * local!data)) /*Code 3*/ a!localVariables(local!data: 2 * 5toboolean(2 * local!data)) /*Code 4*/ a!localVariables(local!data: 2 * 5date(2 * local!data))

Error Message - The Record Data Source did not apply the batch number correctly. The first two responses returned the same data. How and where to fix the issue?

Hi All, I have a scenario where if an expected SLA date&time falls on a non-working day, I need to get next working day value. For example, I have my initial submitted date as 12/27/2023 2:01 PM PST and expected SLA date time based on some biz logic should be 1/2/2024 7:01 AM PST. I have used the below logic but somehow instead of getting the SLA date result for next year as 1/2/2024 7:01 AM PST, I am getting the SLA date result in the same year as 1/2/2023 7:01 AM PST. Please note correct process calendars are used and Dec 30 2023,  Dec 31 2023 and Jan 1 2024 are all set as non-working day. Please help/advise on how I can update to get the correct value:local!finalSLADateTime: if(calisworkday(1/1/2024 7:01 AM PST, local! Calendar),1/1/2024 7:01 AM PST,1/1/2024 7:01 AM PST + (dayofyear(caladddays(1/1/2024 7:01 AM PST, 0, local! Calendar)) - dayofyear(1/1/2024 7:01 AM PST))),

Hi All, I want the output of a workday function to be Date&Time instead of just Date. Please advise on how I can wrap the below logic to get the output as Date& Time:workday( todatetime("01/01/2024 7:01 AM"), ( dayofyear( caladddays(todatetime("01/01/2024 7:01 AM"), 0, "Default Calendar") ) - dayofyear(todatetime("01/01/2024 7:01 AM"))),datetime(2024,01,01) )I need the output to be 1/2/2024 7:01 AM instead I just get 1/2/2024.

I am trying to implement a basic expression rule to determine if a short string is formatted correctly. I have the code below but it returns the error "Keyword Argument unsupported by function contains". I am getting similar errors in other parts of my application so I'd like to figure out what the error means.

Expression evaluation error at function a!update [line 36]: Cannot update List of GAI Workflow at 4 keys; length of assign value list (46) does not match length of the list to update (4). I am getting this error while executing expression rule, How can i fixed that ? i have paste my codea!localVariables( local!currGrantWorkflow: rule!GAI_getWorkflow(workflowId: ri!workflowId).data, local!refDecTree: if( rule!SCO_isBoolNotEmptyAndTrue( local!currGrantWorkflow['recordType!{f8c3f153-12d0-4850-97d9-bd6878795255}GAI Workflow.fields.{5febe064-3783-49f6-ac2c-1f69ce22e5b5}isCustomWorkflow'] ), null, rule!GAI_getRefWorkflowDecisionTree( currStatusId: local!currGrantWorkflow['recordType!{f8c3f153-12d0-4850-97d9-bd6878795255}GAI Workflow.fields.{7cd66171-e9d3-45ae-9967-fe88fbd9f594}fkWorkflowTypeStatusId'], taskDecisionId: ri!taskDecisionId ).data ), local!customDecTree: if( rule!SCO_isBoolBlankOrEmptyOrFalse( local!currGrantWorkflow['record

Hi all, is there a way to test for free the AI Copilot functionalities on Appian CE? Thks!

I have an expression rule which returns data for some ID's and for some it returns 0 items. Based on this rule, I need to display a message to the user.If it returns 0 items, then "in progress". If not, the usual data.  How to check if the rule returns some value or 0. I used isnullorempty, but it didn't work

I need to compare two lists of the same type of cdt, and remove any duplicates from one of the lists if two of the fields match. For example CDT Array 1: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 05/05/2019 ) } CDT Array 2: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 01/01/2022 ), type!example( email: "hello11@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 03/02/2023 ), type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 2, date: 01/02/2023 ) } In this example, I want to remove CDT 1 from CDT Array 2, because it is has the same email and ID fields as the CDT in CDT Array 1, and I want to return the other two CDTs in CDT Array 2.How can I do this as efficiently as possible?

Hi- Does anyone know on how to implement generative AI with Appian? TIA

I have built an expression rule where I am using a!foreach() and looping through items. Below is the query. a!localVariables( local!var: a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!rec_type1, pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 10) ), a!forEach( items: { local!var}.data,  //4 data items from the record type table are that it can iterate on// expression: fv!item['recordType!rectype1.fields.col1'] [1] )) The record type I am querying here has 4 items that I am iterating in using a!foreach(). Now expression gives a single output (specific cell's data from table i.e. first record's col1 value). My expectation was that this would give same table cell data as output but 4 times instead of 1 time. Is it due to the fact that in every iteration fv!item moves to the subsequent item as current array item and therefore cannot give that cell's data as output remaining 3 times since it has already moved ahead to next item.Let me know if I am thinking correctly or is there

Please let us know if we can get the 'confidence level for Document extraction' similar to the confidence score output for Document classification.

Any idea why the input value is not recognizing the array? I've tried with/without the comma, but Appian is still saying there is only 1 item in the list.

Hi, I have an upcoming application that is going to have a heavy IDP component. I haven't actually worked with IDP yet, and development hasn't started yet, so all of what I've been researching for Appian capabilities has been what Appian has in their documentation and other community questions. The question is, when the user uploads the form and there are attachments that also have to be extracted, does each document have to be in its own PDF? Or can they all be uploaded as one, multi-page PDF and the system can extract them all separately? Thank you!  And I apologize if I'm not wording things properly, again, I don't actually have any hands on IDP experience yet, I know each form a user could upload has to be configured and classified, so this is assuming the main form and possible attachments have been configured. 

Hello techies,  I need to use the merge() function on a dynamic list but it isn't proving easy.  Please check the following code snippet and suggest applying it on the dynamic list local!a.b a!localVariables( local!a: { { a: 1, b: { 1, 2, 3 } }, { a: 2, b: { "asdf", 5, 6 } }, { a: 1, b: { 7, 8 } } }, { merge({ 1, 2, 3 }, { "asdf", 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 }), /*working*/ merge(local!a.b[1], local!a.b[2], local!a.b[3]), /*not working*/ merge(a!forEach(local!a.b, fv!item)) /*incorrect result*/ })
