Overview
Dialogs allow a user to quickly view supplementary details as an overlay and then return to the primary UI. This is particularly useful if the user has made selections or entered data into the primary UI which they wish not to lose by navigating away.
SAIL Dialogs is part of the Appian App Accelerators (A3) suite.
The SAIL Dialogs application gives you the ability to drop links into your UIs which open a dialog. The SAIL interface rendered in the dialog is of your choosing. The link itself will be provide dynamic inputs to the dialog interface based on the context of the link.
Using the framework is 2 simple steps:
Hi Team, Is there any limit for data that we can send though the identifier in record action field. Whenever I am sending more that some thousand characters it is not working , have you faced this issue?
CDT I have already updated to support 50k characters for input and key fields
Yes exactly as you're implying, there is a limit. It is after all an identifier. This app is a workaround and as such naturally does something odd like use an identifier field for a payload and as such incurs a limitation.
The dialogLink rule does throw a friendly validation error to advise you on this: "Dialog inputs are limited to 2000 characters when serialized as JSON. The dialog inputs currently have a serialized length of 2001 characters. Please restructure your inputs to be more brief. The intent is for the inputs to include only identifiers which will be used by the dialog's UI to query any needed data."
