Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram)

Overview

The Rich Text Editor Component can be used on Appian interfaces where you want to show the rich text information in readable format to the end user. We can use the component to show it as an email subject typing interface.

With this component you can add images, customize tables etc. This also has a functionality called placeholders using which you can use the same information in multiple items in the editor without retyping.
Additionally it allows uploading of images which get stored in the specified Appian folder (requires separate install of the Rich Text Editor Connected System Plug-in).

Note:

  1. It is recommended to use one ARTE Component in a Page/Interface.
  2. We do not encourage to use Short as height in the component.

  • Hello there,

    After the version upgradation of the Rich Text Editor plugin the default height (current configuration: height: "AUTO") of the editor has been reduced (please refer below code and snap).
    May you please fix this or suggest a solution.
    Or please let me know if I am configuring in a wrong way.
    Thank you for your consideration.



    Earlier with the same (above snap) configuration, the height was fine and auto adjustable (please see below snap) according to the input text:



    But now after the version upgradation, height has been changed so how can we achieve the earlier one:

  • Hi ravis,

    Thanks for reaching out, The reduction in the default height is actually intentional and part of the updates made in the latest version. To achieve the height you've shown in the snapshot, you can set the height value to "SHORT" in the configuration. However, please note that this setting won't allow for auto-adjustment of the height.

    Thank you
