If so, I would like to know how to set the content to be displayed differently depending on the window size as in the example in the photo. also, other functions such as mouse over. Thank you. P.S.It seems that some advertisements have been posted on the bulletin board. Think that it needs management?

Our team in new to Appian, To start with Appian we have some doubts related to development methods as they are not clear in any training course. Can we use enterprise Git as source control repository, if yes how and how versions are managed for individual objects within Appian project? How we can manage CI/CD pipelines for Appian project when using third party source control repository? How we can manage different versions of same Appian project?

Hello, I have a requirement to create an approval/rejection form which takes in data from database and displays it in a grid. How should I fetch the data so that i can modify two of its field and return it to the database.

How to manage configurations for Appian objects like database connection string, as it would be different for different environments (dev/test/prod) or password may be changed frequently for database, so we can't hardcode database connection while adding connector? Also can we integrate with third parties provider for configuration management, for example if i am adding connected service (Azure SQL) for database, can we use Azure Key Vault to read connection string, user and passwords during runtime?

What are the best practices/tools to package and deploy an Appian application? How to manage different version of same Appian application?

I have some doubts related to component plugin and connector plugin. Can we create plugins in C# language instead of JAVA? Also can we extend an existing Appian component for example if we need a 3D style button or a complex chart for our application, can we extend existing Appian button component or chart to add new style or functionality? Also is there any place where we can refer code/java script being used for Appian provided components, so that we can create custom plugin by referring  existing code?

I completed the Appian Developer online course and then attempted the Associate Developer practice exam at the end. I found a lot of the questions quite different and more detailed than what the course seemed to cover. And there were some terms and topics I'm sure weren't mentioned at all in the course. Is it expected that candidates get some practical experience first before seeking accreditation?  

Any one know what reason cause "....invalid contentID..." when use processmodel's "import excel into database" function, though the value of Excel documents are clearly exist.

In java or python i can use for loops to check it underscore i such as for(i:0;i<100;i++){   for(j:i+1;j<100,j++){ if list[i]=list[j] list[i]="common value" } } if arraylist contains["common value"]{ arraylist.remove["common value"] } for java a!forEach, i can't find its underscore i, i don't know which way can express it fv!index like this way in the parenthesis? how to do it?

I have a PK field called requestId under request Entity. I want to pass the value of this requestId to the subprocess. I already tried making the subprocess synchronous and also tried putting stored values to a process variable but to no avail. context: requestId is a PK that gets auto-incremented in the db, whenever I call it on the subprocess, the value is null. But there are no problems when calling other fields

Hi, I have a interface which has a read-only grid. Can we set default filter to the grid based on selected site.(site1, site2)  Is there a way to know which site is selected by the user? Eg: I have to create site-1 which has page1 (interface - with read-only grid) where the status column is pending) I have to create site-2 which has page1 (interface - with read-only grid) where the status column is completed)
