Hi community, I do not understand the different use cases for adding objects to an specific application or just referencing it (e.g. in an expression). Assume we habe 2 applications: app AAA app BBB Both use onjects from a a "shared" application "ZZZ" providing core functionality (e.g. an interface and other to manage comments) Let's say I want to use some commenting functionality in app AAA. My approach would be to just "use" (reference) the objects from the commenting app, but definitely NOT adding these objects to application AAA. Yet I have seen implementation where (in app AAA) some objects, e.g. ZZZ viewComments are added to the application using the same object in multiple applications. I would assume it would be a good idea to keep each application as isolated as possible. Thank you for some explanation! Dan

Hello... I am trying to  develop a simple HR application, with few tables like Employee, Department, Compensation etc. I have already created an interface for each table for CRUD actions.Now I want to create an interface for HR admin user, who can navigate to these interfaces to perform CRUD actions on these tables.So, I picked the interface pattern - Navigation. I see the left side links like Workspace, Tasks, Requests etc. I have replaced these items with my Interface names like Employees, Departments etc.  Now how do I link the Employee on left tab to load Employee Interface I have developed on the right section.  I dont find an option to load an existing Interface under section layout. What are my options/alternatives?  ThanksSuneetha

Hello, If the function hour(now()) is used, the output value is the "gmt hour" instead of now() time. Is this right?  Then do I have to adjust the hour time by adding or subtracting time to make it match with my timezone? https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.1/fnc_date_and_time_hour.html Thank you.

Hello, I placed text field in the editable grid and applied required function.When testing in the interface, the required function is well applied after clicking on submit button.However, requried function does not apply when testing in the site page. Are there specific conditions for required function to be applied on the site as well? Could it be because I tried to use the required function in the record's summary? Thank you.

Hi! Is there any possibility to use the same model for different interfaces? In my case: I have an interface where I insert an ID and delete the data with that ID, I used this interface as a start form for my process model. Now I created an interface with a possibility to select multiple rows in a grid and I want to be able to delete all of them by pressing a button. My question is: is there any possibility to use the same process model or I have to create another one? Thank you!

Hi! I'm working on a training project and my aim for now is to send an e-mail when a form is rejected.  I managed to send the e-mail, but I also wanted to mention in the e-mail the ID of the rejected data. However, when I use the following expression: =pv!customerDetails.customerID The rejected data is called "CustomerDetails" and contains a "customerID". In the process I also used a process variable - customerDetails, in which I save the CustomerDetails. I also tried to add an input variable which would have the id value inside, but I didn't manage to use it in the mail either. Thank you, in advance!

How do I update a process variable in  process model instance via WebAPI ?  ============================================================ The use case is an external system which triggers an onboarding process.  It calls a webAPI which starts an onboarding process. An email is being sent to the customer for email verification. The process waits for the code to be entered on the external system form. Once entered on the external system form, it should be  posted to the running process instance  to resume execution. So I need a way for the external system to post the code to the  previously initiated process.

Hallo Community, Goal: Display response of Rest API in Gridview and Dropdown. I have a working integration (via a public API) providing car manufacturers. The data is retrieved by Appian and consists of ID, Brand, Country. Now I like to simpy display the data in a DropDown and a read-only Gridview. I went through the Online-Course "Integrations" for some help  but ultimately I cannot get this to work. For GridView:     data: rule!BP_GetCarManufacturers().result.body (the Integration object) For each Column, I tried different approaches: * value: fw!row.ID etc. * value: {index(rule!BP_GetCarManufacturers().result.body, "Country", {} )} Same for Dropdown, I also tried out different flavours of index(), but the best I get is the whole API response in one Choicevalue. Any help/hint/guidance is appreciated! Dan Edit I understand that it might not  be best practice to use an API call directly in some UI, it's really about a PoC. Stating this,
