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.

  • When the editor loads for the 1st time, whether passing in anything (valid HTML, text) to richTextValue via local variable or rule input, the editor does not display the value. 

    As soon as designer edits the SAIL, e.g. remove the richTextValue parameter and undo (ctrl-z), or toggle isReadOnly, the value is displayed.,

    Usage bar shows % as >0, so it seems to think that there is value there, but is not displaying them.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create new UI object, and add Advanced Rich Text Editor component
    2. Create a rule input of type Text
    3. Set richTextValue to rule input
    4. Supply a text value, e.g. "Hello" as rule input, set as default value
    5. Save object and close
    6. Open object - observe that "Hello" is not shown on load
    7. Toggle to Expression Mode, delete richTextValue parameter, and undo (ctrl-z) - observe that "Hello" is now displayed
