If a user has indirect access to a record type as viewer. Will he able to export and download the record report? Thank you!

In my application, there are three columns for each user in the default Group; Name, Details, and Member Type. I would like to add additional fields for users so that we can separate them based on their roles and grant them different access.  Is there a way to add additional fields to the user groups? I tried to do some research into this and it seems like Group Types are the way to go but I am unable to figure out how to set it up. Specifically, I want to add something like these fields to the user table.  <Name>   <Region>  <Country>  <Department>  Do I create a Group Type for each new column? How do I add the values for each field so it can be a drop down list? Thanks.

Hi, I made a clumsy error along the way and now I want to reset my workspace and delete everything to date. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Haleigh

I am new to Appian and I'm creating a form interface to save data to the database. I've gone through several of the tutorials and I created an Interface and a Process Model that will save data to the database. However, it only works when I launch it from the Process Model. How do I launch it from the Interface by clicking on the Submit button?  I want to click Submit after filling out the Interface and have it fire up the process model to save to the database.

Hello, I’m currently using the free Appian Community Edition. After being inactive for ~1 month, I logged back in and my environment has been stuck on “Workspace Pending” for the past 24 hours. Is this normal, and how much longer should I expect before I can access my workspace again? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm trying to install an instance of Appian on Kubernetes into my cloud infrastructure.  I am runninging into an issue where the Zookeeper pod is running but the Kafka Pod is not. The only logs I can find are a single line that give no information: 2025-10-22T13:35:18.683285411Z main ERROR Reconfiguration failed: No configuration found for '67424e82' at 'null' in 'null' Any help understanding what this error means and how to resolve it to get the Kafka Pod running for AoK would be helpful.

Hi there Appian community, I am on step 6 of updating the layout and configuring components on the step by step #8. For this step we must select correct values under display value (ex: for Make, select ri!record.make.) however, as highlighted in the picture, there is no option for that and when I type it manually, nothing populates. Any advice?/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/62/Screenshot-2025_2D00_09_2D00_30-at-11.10.55_2F20_AM.png 

I passed this exam today. How do I prove it? I don't see it anywhere in my appian account. Also, it was proctored by ProctorU and all their site says is that I took the test. No indication of the result. I passes with an 83.3% score

Hi everyone, I’m following a Step by Step #10 tutorial to create a related action for my record type. I configured the Create New Related Action dialog as shown in the attached screenshot, but when I test it, I get this error: Expression evaluation error: Syntax error. Details: Cannot create an identifier with zero length key I’ve already added a Key value, but the error still appears. I suspect it may be related to the Context expression, but I’m not sure what exactly is wrong. Has anyone faced this issue before or can point out what I might be missing? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Appian Community, I am planning to register for an upcoming Appian certification exam. Before proceeding, I wanted to confirm if a name format difference would cause any issues during ID verification. My government-issued ID shows my name as K Jaiganesh, but I intend to register using Jaiganesh Kamaraj, which I commonly use in professional settings. Could you please confirm if this would be acceptable, or advise on how I should proceed to avoid any discrepancies during the exam? Thank you for your support. Thanks & Regards, Jaiganesh

Hi All, I basically created a custom between date for my users. The purpose of it is basically to mimic the start date of a month to the end date of the month for my data. Shown below is basically what it does: My question here is this. From my understanding, Appian's database stores any datetimes column as UTC, before converting it back to whatever timezone the user is from during the interface display. However, what exactly should I set as my between date during the process of filtering? I'm unsure of how exactly the query filter will communicate with my cloud database (my record type) to retrieve data. My worry is that the values are inaccurate and data is wrongly displayed and calculated due to the some edge cases, e.g. on the last day of the month. Here is my code for the between: As you can see from the "Chosen From Date" and "Chosen To Date", I initially attempted to custom fit it to my timezone. During this process, I returned the value create
