Hi, I have a requirement to send about 1000 mails based on number of records updated. I am trying to send using MNI. I tested for 600 records at once and most of the process breaks and got error alters. I reduced the batch size to 150 then it works fine. But if the data is about 200 then the process starts to break.  The error is Failed to send email. Is there any limit to send mail. Is there any other way to send mail efficiently. Please let me know. Thanks

This is with regards to Performance Testing. We are using Locust as the tool for PT. We have certain Interface components where label is not defined as per design.  When writing PT scripts Locust for Appian provides functions to interact with a "testLabel" if label is not available. I want to interact with a dropdown using a test label. But the appian interface designer does not provide an attribute called "testLabel" for dropdown component.

I was wondering if obtaining Appian certifications (Analyst and Developer) is a prerequisite for establishing a partnership with Appian. My company has a vast history in developing systems and applications for a wide variety of clients and organizations. Additionally, we possess substantial experience in low-code environments such as Oracle APEX. Is the certification a compulsory requirement for the partnership. can anyone please clarify the specific requirements and certifications needed to pursue an Appian partnership?

Hi all,  I am a beginner of Appian and I am required to change alignment of button... Two button is in a column each other and the button was created by "Button Array layout". As the screenshot below, "search" and "save" button is far, so I want to change the width of column and button array layout a little bit ... to make the interface better. May I know how to change the width of column and button array layout? Regarding the width of column, I would like to change only the last two column width a little bit...

Hi everyone, I need help checking whether I’m doing something wrong with my code. I’m having an editable grid with data is a data subset local variable. In it’s gridRowLayout() I also provided the id parameter. But somehow when selecting the row, it does not save any data to local!selectedAzureId. I also tried with fv!index instead of fv!item.fileId but did not work either. { a!gridLayout( label: "Documents", labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", headerCells: {}, columnConfigs: {}, rows: a!forEach( items: local!data.data, expression: a!gridRowLayout( id: fv!item.fileId, contents: {} ) ), selectable: true, selectionValue: local!selectedAzureIds, selectionSaveInto: { a!save( local!selectedAzureIds, a!flatten(save!value) ), a!save( ri!selectedAzureIds, local!selectedAzureIds ), }, rowHeader: 1, showWhen: rule!AAA_C

Hi there, I am trying to create an expression rule that returns true if a document is not null, and has an ID attached to it. The expression rule is used to determine an XOR node to go to the document deletion node to delete the document if it exists, or to move to the end node if it has already been deleted. Right now, I am using a plugin isObjectExists() and it does work correctly but my supervisor wants me to improve the code to not use that plugin, any ideas for what to do?Here is the expression rule I created, it currently works how I want it to but I want to avoid using the plugin, any help is appreciated!

Hi Appian Community, Please be informed that we have used Cancel Process Smart Service, after this Smart Service runs all instance are successfully cancelled but cancelled instance are always available in process monitoring. Is there any way to delete the cancelled instance automatically once its cancelled by Cancel Process Smart Service? Data Management Selected as Delete Process after 3 days. Will Appian itself automatically delete both the cancelled instance & other parent instance with are cancelled and showing as "Active with Errors" process with error showing as "The sub-process started by this activity has been cancelled" by cancel process smart services? Thanks and Regards, Vigneshkumar R

Hi All, I have grid displaying certain records for a specific user, lets say I want to calculate how many days did it take the user to create the next record so for example in the image attached the user created a few on the same day, so if I wanted to add another column next to this one to display number of days, how can I achieve this? the calculation part? because I need to grab the first date of the previous record with the date of the next created record and so on . Is this even possible, or what are your suggestions on finding this kind of information? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I would like to know if it's possible to use Appian as a consumer for a specific Kafka topic. In our very specific case, let's suppose a user updates an address and the message is replicated to multiple systems, through Kafka. Our idea was to enable Appian to consume from this topic and these messages. I tried to configure the Kafka Tools plugin available in the AppMarket, but I can't seem to configure the nodes correctly. I have a demo instance in Confluent Cloud and I was able to do some producer/consumer tests locally and also via Python Client, but I'm not able to consume anything when it concerns Appian. Do we have a better way of integrating with a Kafka topic? Kind regards

I have asked two developers about the best approach for data management in Appian. One usually uses Datastore Entities and other uses Sync Recordtypes. But, I have seen that there is a third configuration where a RecordType is related to a Datastore Entity (this disable recordtypes relationship). Which best approach is my dilemma. I have heard recordtypes limitations related to database (some datatypes capacity limits) schema, 2 millions rows storage limitation and sync issues. I haven't found documentation about best practices for data management. What do you recommend? Some prefers CDT others Recordtypes.

I can't find the custom data type object in Appian designer objects, knowing that I am using the free educational version, and the tutorials are showing this process of creating one
