Hello - While going through the online Developer course, "Design Record Types: Model and Configure Your Data", I completed the course and survey, assuming I could go back into the activity.  However, now I am unable to view the activity, which will make the future steps unavailable to me.  Can someone please point me to a PDF of this step so I can complete it? Thanks in advance,  RaviG

Hey Everybody, I am fairly new to Appian. Since yesterday, I haven't been able to access the community edition. All I can see is  "This site is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance" But the status of my country on their status page shows "Online". Is it just the case with me or for anyone else too?

Hi Team, I want to export more than 50 columns. Created a process to generate two excel and merge them Case 1: If using to new doc in both smart services. The combined doc is not started from specified cell. It starts from last data of first doc. E.g If first excel data ends at AV81 and other sheet starts from AW82, actually it should start from AW1. Case 2: If I am updating the first doc then the data of 1st doc is not reflecting and only 2nd excel document data is reflected Please let me know how to fix this. Thanks

Is there a discord channel or something similar where I can ask questions in real time? I can't find anything that I need in the documentation and I really can't believe that I'm the first person to be asking some of these questions as to why Appian doesn't do certain things out of the box considering it is supposed to be a "low code" solution.

I have used an multiple dropdown box here and whenever i try to select more than 1 option from the multiple dropdown list it is showing this error. Can anyone please guide me through this issue kindly.Thanks and Regards.

Hi everyone, we are currently evaluating different approaches to automate our tests. We're aware of the tools officially recommended by Appian (Appian Selenium API, FitNesse for Appian, and Cucumber for Appian), but we’re interested in knowing if there are alternative solutions.

I'm currently preparing for the Certified Developer Exam having no prior experience with Appian. I see other threads mention it is best to use Appian for a few months first, but my company encourages pursuing this exam (and the Senior developer certificate) before employment begins. I am completing the associated course (inculding all optional and practice content) but others have noted that this may be insufficient for the difficulty of the exam. Even the practice test indicates that the real exam will be more difficult. Does anyone have an reccomendation for how else to prepare or links to more in-depth practice resources?

Stupid question: there are "learning paths". After I finish one time all the materials/records/etc on one learning path I would like to start again so that I can do a "learning path" multiple times. Is it possible to reset a "learning path"? Thank you.

Are there any performance benchmarks for Appian that can be referred to? I've an internal governance question to answer and they are looking for evidence that appian can perform as expected.  Other users can also be usefule. 

Hello, I did the certification exam yesterday and struggled on the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Certification Topic and I need to improve this specific field. Where can I find contents and documentation about this specifics topics below? I made some researches in the appian website but didn't find anything related to that. If some of you have any content that could help me I would be grateful. Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) (10%) - Recognize the roles and responsibilities of development team members- Differentiate between the stages of the SDLC (e.g., analysis, transformation, deployment, testing, maintenance)- Describe the scrum lifecycle of a user story- Explain the various Agile scrum ceremonies (e.g., refinement, standup, retrospective)- Define the use of each Appian environment used within the SDLC
