I have two records, Record A and Record B, with a one-to-many relationship between them. I need to add a filter on Record A based on a column in Record B called Products. When the user selects “None” in the record filter, Record A entries with null values in the Products field should be returned. However, for some entries, Record A does not have any corresponding rows in Record B. As a result, although the related column Products appear with null values at the interface level, they are not returned when filtering at the record level. Any suggestions other than data fix?

I have a web API which expects post request and provides the response after completing few important nodes and other actions are configured Asynchronously . Asynchronous process involves copy document, send data to second external system which are wrapped as multiple subprocesses. Now let's say if any of these asych process fails and I notify the first external system along with process ID, is there a way possible to retrigger the appian broken instance again (ignore the failure reason)? if not can I restart from the broken node itself? does appian provide this capability? (Plugins: Get Processes By Node Status and process-management-services doesn't seem to be working as expected for my case)

I'm planning to begin my preparation for the Analyst Credential exam (ACD301) , but I'm not sure where to find relevant study materials or sample questions that match the actual exam content. If anyone has any helpful resources or guidance to share, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, we are encountering an issue after updating the Dynamic Document Generator plugin to the latest version from AppMarket (from v2.2.2 to v3.0.3) *******************Issue Summary:  When generating a PDF using the “PDF from Single DOCX with Fonts” Smart Service, text formatting such as bold and italic is no longer applied in the resulting PDF.

Has anyone else noticed this in checkbox component. The expression mode does not show error when i have both saveinto and saveInto (notice the difference "i" vs "I"). I am able to save, and the selected value is not getting saved as expected. The expression mode does not show the parameter as invalid for "saveinto" and also does not save the value.   I always thought the correct syntax is saveInto with capitalized "I" Janaki Ram

Hi All, I am working on an Expense Reimbursement System POC in Appian. We have three different user roles: Employee, Manager, and Finance Team, each with separate interfaces. I need to implement an AI chatbot in all three interfaces that can answer user questions based on claim data. What is the best approach to design and integrate role-specific chatbots in Appian? Should each interface have a separate chatbot configuration, or can we reuse a single chatbot with dynamic context? Also, how can we ensure the chatbot responds based on the logged-in user’s role and related data? Thanks in advance.

A Record Action is configured to start a process model, and the process launches successfully. However, the parameterized process variables (record type and identifier) remain null or default values during runtime. As a result, the interface cannot display the expected record data.

Hi, My colleagues took ACD100 Certification earlier this year. They all had questions about Agile and SDLC.  Today I tried to take exam but I didn't see ACD100 on Examity so went for ACD101 but syllabus was different.  Anything changed recently? I can see the following exams: ACA100 - Appian Certified Analyst ACD101 - Appian Certified Associate Developer. Did anyone took exam recently and passed ACD101 and saw Agile or SDLC related questions? or is it depend on the initial question we answer about whether we took online course?

I need the related information to be filtered with a date from the main record. It is possible to create the following query: a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!CCMV_GP_RT_Persona', pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 1), relatedRecordData: { a!relatedRecordData( limit: 1, relationship: 'recordType!CCMV_GP_RT_Persona.relationships.Historicopersona', filters: { a!queryFilter( field: 'recordType!CCMV_GP_RT_HistoricoPersona.fields.fechaactualizacion', operator: "<=", value: 'recordType!CCMV_GP_RT_Persona.fields.fechaBaja' ) } ) }).data I need to retrieve from a person's historical information the first record that is earlier than or equal to the person's termination date. Gives the following error: Expression evaluation error at function a!queryRecordType: Invalid record field type mapping. No

Hi Community, Let’s say I have 15 nodes in a process model. Scenario 1: The nodes are placed linearly and execute one after another. Scenario 2: The nodes are split into 5 branches, with 3 nodes in each branch, using an AND/OR gate. On testing above scenarios, when I config this inside startprocess and try to trigger it from web API, both scenarios are taking approx same time. Does appian on the backend still executes it linear irrespective of how we branch it in single process model canvas?

Data base table security or permission to query data from table, Do we actually need permission to actually retrive data from database table into Appian query entity/record?, what is the basic permission required...? ,

Hi Appian community, I've been dealing with a tricky validation problem with a!dateField and I wanted to share it here in case anyone has found a workaround. I have a form with several date fields that toggle between a!dateField (edit mode) and a!textField (read mode) based on a modify button that switches readOnly.Switching between these modes is done using a button in a separate rule; within that rule, I also have the option to save the data or exit edit mode. Once you enter edit mode, these two buttons appear. The save button is enabled or disabled based on the field validations. When the user enters a future date, I can catch it with a custom validation rule and disable the save button without issues. When the user types something completely invalid like "asdasdh" or "123abc" into the a!dateField, the native component validation fires correctly and shows the error message on the field — but Appian discards the value and stores null in the backing va

Hello All, I need an approach to save unstructured .doc file to .pdf extn. I know we have .docx to PDF. But I have .doc this to be converte to .pdf. Its great if anyone help in suggesting approach for this.

Hi everyone, I am looking to implement a Split Button functionality in my interface (a main action button with an attached dropdown for secondary actions). I am aware that this is not a native component in Appian's current UI toolkit. Has anyone successfully implemented a similar pattern using a combination of a!buttonLayout() and a!dropdown() or perhaps a custom SAIL configuration? I’ve considered using a small icon button next to the main button to trigger a menu, but I’m concerned about the alignment and the mobile responsiveness. If you have any examples or best practices on how to achieve this "split" look while maintaining a clean UX, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance!

Hi Community, I’m working on a UI inspired by the attached mockup. I’m aware that Appian doesn’t natively support a fixed/sticky footer within an Overlay, nor a perfect 2x2 grid inside a standard buttonLayout. However, I’m determined to get as close to this look as possible. Has anyone tried: Using a columnsLayout with Cards as buttons to simulate the 2x2 grid? Using a Header Content Layout inside the overlay to force the bottom bar to stay visible? I'd love to hear any 'outside the box' ideas to bypass the standard layout constraints and achieve this specific action-bar aesthetic.

I'm getting a problem with the 'isButtonFooterFixed' parameter in formLayout. I'm not able to get the behaviour expected when the interface is opened in a dialog. If i open another action with exactly the same configuation but in a New page instead of in a dialog box, it is working fine. Do I need to configure something else or is it just a behaviour that is not possible to achieve in Appian? Thank you!

I'm geting a problem when using the isButtonFooterFixed paramter in a FormLayout and opening it in a dialog box. The interface preview is working as expected, when opening the process in a 'NEW_PAGE' is working as expected but if I try to open the interface as a Dialog box it is not fixing the buttons in the bottom part of the modal. Anyone geting the same issue or knows how to fix it? Thank you!

Hi Everyone, i have a task where i need to send OTP's to the numbers by sending SMS through appian, how can this task be performed. Thanks, Sathvik
