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:

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

Hi Shiva,

The output from the component will have the document id which Email will not have access to it. So you need to convert the document id/opaque id to base64 or Public URL to display it in Email.

Thanks

Hi Harikanth K,

We couldn't reproduce the issue mentioned. Kindly check your SaveInto parameters whether it is pointing to the same rule input or local variable. It may also be null in both SaveInto and Value parameter.

Hi naveeng,

We are created a generic interface for RTE and which being called in parent interface.

There are 10 sections where we are calling the generic interface from the parent. (All the data are tagged to a single CDT)

Issue here is if we are trying to edit first RTE, previously saved data for other 9 RTE's are getting nullified.

We have updated the plugin but still no luck. Can you suggest on this please.

Thanks,

Harikanth K

Hi himanshug374,

The import option in admin console is used to import admin console properties. Refer the documentation for more details. The plugins in on-premise environment need to deployed in the server.

Thanks,

Wasim
