Hi everyone, I'm encountering an issue when performing searches on a RecordType through an interface. The searches work perfectly for all columns except for one that is of type date. I’ve tried changing the format to match the database format (yyyy-MM-dd), but even then, the search returns no results when I query by that date column. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! a!gridColumn( label: "Fecha", sortField: 'recordType!{...}.....fields.{....}fecha', value: text(fv!row['recordType!{....}....fields.{....}fecha'], "yyyy-dd-MM"), align: "START", width: "AUTO" ),

Hello I'm trying to set up the four record types for the Interfaces 103: Build Complex Interfaces by Adapting Patterns course, but it seems the PF_ACCOUNT, PF_ACCOUNT_TYPE, PF_TRANSACTION, and PF_GOAL database tables are missing from my Appian community environment.  Does anyone have a way to manually add the tables or reset my site without losing all my work?  Or is there some requirement I'm not aware of?

Is it possible to validate that an input is of type email, so that if the user enters something that is not an email, a warning can be showed?

We have a requirement where an email needs to be sent to Admin every time user account is created or modified. It could be even using a process model, but I am unable to find the right solution for this use case.

Hi Champs, I have a grid where I have a column in which I am showing a recordaction component based on some conditions. So that column can show a button(recordAction) or it will be blank.  Now I have a requirement where I need to first show the row where I have the column having the button and then the rows where the column is blank. Secondly, I need to again sort the data based on the name . I am not sure whether we have a easy way to do the same? Regards, Ghanashyam

Hi All, I'm a beginner of Appian, and I would like to know how to save a row order in a grid. In a grid in an interface, I put a arrow for up and down to move rows.

Hello everyone, I’m currently working through the "Tutorial: Get Soccer Stats with RPA" and have encountered an issue at Step 1, where we are supposed to create a new data type.

Getting below error when opening "Summary Page" in Studio site of Case Management Studio. We have not changed any object in Case Management Studio applications manually. Can anyone help with this?

Hello all, the subject may not be a good summary of what I'm looking for, so here's a bit more context for this posting. I need to create a set of user interfaces, each of which serves a specific purpose in an application. But a lot of these UIs share similar functionalities (e.g., Approve/Reject decision, Doc upload, Confirmation, etc.) that I'd like to turn into reusable "parts" that will become part of a parent "wrapper" interface object. So, the idea is to always use the parent UI object--this holds common elements such as a page title--and pass in an ID as a rule input, which will be used to determine which of the reusable parts will be displayed within the parent UI. During my online search on this topic, I found this Community posting and this blog entry by [mention:a11f77a729fb4db2af76b09948583328:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] to be somewhat relevant to my needs. But it seems that Appian at some point s

Is there an option in Appian that may allow me to mass delete rule inputs placed in my interface in Appian? There seems to be no option but having to resort to deleting each rule input one by one which is a little time consuming. 

Can we add new columns to User Uploaded excel with columns and data already in it?  Note: The added column's data is not unique for all the records

We have a handful of process instances not archiving: 1. Process model's data management is set to archiving 3 days after completion or cancellation, and there are no previous versions of the process model object 2. Instance shows up in monitoring with a green checkmark and all nodes in Process Node under Process Details are completed 3. Nothing shows up under Current Tasks, Quick Tasks, or Sub-Process 4. It looks like the process was manually restarted (start node in the middle of process history) - this restart did successfully run until End Node. End Node also finished at the same time as another node.  Was just curious if this was expected behavior or something that needs more investigation.

Hi Community,    I need to create a record type based on an external Airtable table. AirTable provides a REST API for querying the data, so I decided to create a Web Service based record type.  I already created a connected system and confirm that is returning data.    The issue here is the paging (due to the expected number of records) - Airtable does not accept a page number as (query) parameter, only the page Size.  In each response, beside the record list, there is an attribute called "offset" that should be used in next request (send as a query parameter) to get the next page (and so on).  When we get the last page, the offset attribute will be empty. Additionally, there is no way to know (in advance) the number of records in the Airtable.    As the Appian paging is based on batch number, I do not have any idea how to proceed.   Hope that somebody knows a way how to handle this type of paging.  Thanks in advance

I have a question regarding the ACD101 exam session. At the exam before last (August 9, 2024), I participated in a session using the "Go to" system from my browser, but the proctor told me to download the "Go to" app.When I was confused and couldn't figure out how to do it, a "Zoom" meeting link was sent to me via chat, so I continued the exam "Zoom" meeting. Therefore, for the last exam (August 17, 2024), I downloaded the "Go to" app in advance and participated in the session.However, I couldn't connect to proctor and ended up deleting the "Go to" app.After that, I accessed the "Go to" meeting link sent via chat and was finally able to speak with the proctor. Has anyone had a similar experience? My PC's communication environment was perfect, so I don't know what measures I should take next time I take the exam to be able to successfully enter the session.(I feel like I can access it from the browser

Currently, after submitting a form, a new form appears with the previous values for some of the fields , how to fix this issue

Hi everyone, I'm seeking guidance on best practices for handling a specific scenario in Appian. Here’s the situation: I have two records: Record A, with a primary key column named A1. Record B, with a primary key column named B1. There is a one-to-many relationship from Record A to Record B. I'm retrieving data of Record B using the 'relationship/related record data' from Record A, in both interfaces and expression rules. I've also defined the reverse relationship in Record B as many-to-one from Record B to Record A using the same column. However, when deploying, I encounter an issue with missing objects. Could you advise on the best course of action or Appian best practices for managing this type of relationship? Is there a recommended approach to avoid such issues in the future, or is there an alternative method for defining relationships? Thanks!

Hi, I wanted to know that how we can expose/embedd our Appian functionality/action to other application which is not of Appian ex: A Java built-in app, so the user using the application can perform an action which is build of Appian.

Hello Team, can you help me with this here, please? I have a form (parent record), which relates to more or less 15 different tables (records). Most of these tables have a 1-1 relationship with the parent record and, in about 3 of them, the parent record has a 1-N relationship. Knowing that all these tables are filled in the same form, and everything occurs in the same process. What is the best approach in this case? Thanks

Hi Team, I have a group Picker field and there is a condition that if mkv = 'mk-3475' by default it should select a group called Keytruda writers.

Hi, I have a process model with an Export DSE to Excel smart service and it exports to an Excel file stored in a  folder dedicated for this functionality in my application. During QA testing, 2 different basic users who are in the same parent group and the group has Viewer access for the folder security. One user can successfully download the exported Excel file, while the other user's process instance gets the folder security error "The specified Save in Folder doesnt exist or you do not have enough privileges to access it ". I resolved it by setting the Export DSE to Excel smart service's assignment to "whoever designed the process model" but still would like to understand why 2 basic users will see different behaviour in the process when that node is set to "whoever started the process" as the assignment. TIA

Hello, I have the following validations on a file upload. When I upload a wrong extension for testing, it is giving me a completely different validation message than what I have in my code and I'm not sure where it's getting it from. Also, it looks like each time I upload a new file, the earlier validation message does not get replaced with the new one and I have no point of reference to see where this is happening, if anyone knows how to fix these two issues I'd really appreciate it. Here is the code. For reference, the constant being used (cons!GF_FILE_EXTENSIONS_UTILITY_PACKAGE_ARTIFACTS) has an array of all valid extensions (pdf, jpg, png, etc.)
