I keep getting this issue, at first I was able to resolve it by going on the missing precedents page and granting all missing precedents but now there isnt anything missing. 

I have a case study for Employee Onboarding Applications , where I have different roles Like who will be acting on the Task based on the previous user's input . I want to make this as Record Centric Application and Tasks should also come from Database . Also for Individual records , it will show the status of the record in a Grid . How can I achieve this using Appian's Best Practices ? TIA .

I got 2 of this. one is Intergrate Designer and one is API Web designer. I already configured all the parameter and the endpoint seem the same from 2 of them. I use test request and both of them return success (200) but only Web API designer post data to database while Intergrate Desginer doesn't. Integration Designer :  Web Api Designer: Can anyone know what is the issue and how to resolve this one.

Hi all, We're running out of disk space on our cloud environment. Appian Support has identified that the main culprits are our Knowledge Centers. They can't however identify which specific Knowledge Centers are the largest. We have over a hundred though so it may just be an accumulation of them all. But anyway, I need to find all their individual sizes and am hoping someone knows how to do this without manually checking each Knowledge Center's properties? An option I'm trying is:  a!localVariables( local!knowledgeCenter: cons!ABC_KNOWLEDGE_CENTER_PROPERTIES, a!forEach( items: local!knowledgeCenter, expression: { creator: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "creator"), dateCreated: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "dateCreated"), description: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "description"), id: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "id"), name: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "name"), numberOfDocuments: knowledgecenter(fv!item, "numberOfDocuments"), size

Hello, I need to add text to a PDF file and save it to a rule input or local variable. Is this possible in Appian? Any suggestions would be appreciated. The a!documentViewer() function allows adding text, but it doesn't save to a local variable or rule input. There's also a pdfAnnotations() plugin that lets you add text, but it requires creating an Adobe project and specifying a domain, which doesn't accept HTTPS. Assistance on this matter would be helpful. I am attaching a screenshot of the Adobe domain issue. Thank you in Advance. Hari Lakkam.

I'm looking for some best ideas to support read only access to prod. I'm leaning towards create dev/qa as basic user and add to designers group and view only application specific groups then remove designers from DB Editors which allows dev to access both DB and designer in read only mode. Any drawbacks or any articles/ ideas to do it in different way? Appreciate your time! Thanks

I’m working on a large project that has evolved over time and is composed of several independent subprojects, each developed by a different team. While these applications have their own distinct purposes, they are interconnected and together form part of a complete workflow. For context, an example would be: • Application A manages the creation of a request to build a building. • Application B is responsible for drafting the project with the architects. • Application C handles the necessary permissions for the construction. • Application D manages the hiring of staff to carry out the construction. In total, there are about ten independent applications that together form a single functional process. The challenge we’re facing now is the creation of a “parent” application that centralizes and visualizes the information from these applications, providing a global view of the project’s status and details of each phase. My concern i

Can we add icons or any images on Record Title?

I'm trying to invoke the a!save() function when an interface loads. Is there any way to save a value into a rule input of an interface without any user interaction?  I've noticed this statement on a forum somewhere "Rule Inputs and local variables in an Appian Interface can only be updated as a direct consequence of a user interaction.". What I'm wondering about is if there is any way to mock user interaction to force a save into the ruleinput? My value is saved in the localVariable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Jan

Hello, I have an issue with the map, which just won't appear in the interface. I had this issue a month ago, when I couldn't see the map, but my colleague did. A couple of weeks later the situation was the opposite (I saw the map, but my colleague didn't). Now the problem is worse - none of us sees the map...

Is there any way to show a loading animation like a loading circle instead of an interface while the integration is running?  For example my main site is built with 8 interfaces where one of the interfaces calls an integration that might sometimes be slower (can take up to 5sec to load). In the current version if I force the backend API to take longer to load and then try to load the main site the integration call blocks the loading of the whole page while the data is loading.  What I would optimally like to have is that all the other interfaces get loaded while the one that calls the api shows a loading symbol until the data is loaded from the API.  If anyone has any suggestions on how to achieve this please let me know.  Thanks, Jan

I would like to be able to select entities on case creation that can be associated with my case, but it appears that I do not have access to the interface that facilitates associating entities that is outlined in the CMS Guidance document: see attachment/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/Case-Management-Studio-_2D00_-Common-Customization-and-Configuration-Guidance-24.3.pdf (Page 17, Step 2 of the section "Associate entities on case creation".) Is there anything users can do to gain access to this document, or is it possible to perhaps implement this interface yourself? Does this interface support selection of multiple entities for association with a case, and if not, could I potentially extend it to allow this functionality?

Once a case type data field has been created in the Studio, what is the right way to go about deleting these fields? It seems like the option to delete these fields is not available in Studio, and ideally I would like both developers and end users to be able to delete case type data fields that have been created. Is the only way to do this to delete fields in the record type itself, and if so, would doing this break the functionality of Case Management Studio in some way?

Hi Appian Community! Does anyone have good recommendations for replacements for the unsupported plug-in Republish Model as Different User? My organization uses it in lower environments whenever an individual developer modified a process model and daily, there is a scheduled process that republishes all the modified process models as a service account to prevent issues of process models being "stuck or frozen" when a developer leaves and their account becomes inactive. TIA
