Content Tools

Overview

These functions extend Appian content and offer document/folder search, directory listing, and the ability to get/set the searchable attribute of a folder.

Functions are designed for and only work on Appian content, not the local filesystem. All search functions assume the root folder and all subfolders are searchable. Search functions will not return results contained within non-searchable objects.

All functions use the serviceContext of the user account executing the expression at runtime.

  • Hi all, we have a use case where we need to expose the frequency/intervals at which a process model runs in the system (we have several such models). Does this plug in allow reading the timer values from process model and present it in a UI? Thanks in advance.
