I need to remove the filter button from a read-only table in Appian created from a record type. How can I do this?

I have a use case involving a read-only grid, where the last column contains a recordActionField. My requirement is for some actions within this field to open in a dialog box, while others should open in the same tab. Currently, the recordActionItem does not permit specifying the behavior for how each action opens. I am limited to using the configuration settings of the recordActionField for all actions. Is there a solution to address this issue?

Hi Everyone, Is that possible to trigger a button on click of enter key in keyboard. If possible can someone please guide me? Thank you!

On 24.2 - I have a Product Record Type with a 1:n relationship to a Assignment Record Type. I need a custom record field on Product to show the "current assignee", which is one of the many Assignments, based on the product's current status and assignmentType. Since custom record fields do not support 1:n relationships, I thought to create a composite key following this recipe https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.2/custom-record-fields.html#create-a-composite-key.  The problem is I cannot find where to mark the new custom record field as unique. What am I missing?

When I try to access Appian from an embedded interface and it is through SSO, I get the following error: This happens because the SSO is done through microsoft and the corresponding login cannot be done. Therefore, this error interface remains and the appian embedded interface cannot be used. Can anyone think how to access the microsoft SSO and be able to login with Appian? If you access the SSO in an Appian window (without being embedded) it works without problem, it only happens when it is embedded in a non Appian application.

Hi all, I'm struggling with this very silly, frustrating issue hahah. This screen shot is the footer of a word doc template: This is a shot of how it looks after the PDF is generated: You can see the value that is centered in the template is now smooshed up to the left. We're generating a word doc from the template, then converting to PDF. I'm not sure if it's because we're using XML to generate it (I don't know XML very well) and if I need to actually concat some XML footer code to the rule we're using to generate the word doc. I've tried playing around with the template footer, I can't tell you how many versions I've tried. I've tried putting the entire footer in a table and making the grid lines disappear, but for some reason the outer border of the table still shows up on the generated PDF. I've tried making the entire footer one ###footer### then passing in the values in the PM. The word doc is generating fine out of the

Hello team, I have a somewhat complex request from a client and I would like to know if any of you have faced something similar. A user needs to fill out a form and once completed, that form needs to be approved by more than 20 different groups. If one of these groups requests an adjustment to the form, it needs to be returned for the user to correct and when this form returns, it will only go through the person who requested the adjustment again and not all the other +20 groups. For example: I fill out a form, 18 groups accept it and 2 request adjustments. There will be 2 adjustment tasks for me, and when I make the adjustment, only the groups that requested the adjustment would be asked to approve again. Note: The flow will only continue when everyone approves.Thanks.

Currently, Appian only allows either a sidebar navigation or a top navigation bar, but not both simultaneously. when the sidebar is collapsed the logo becomes barely visible, would be great to be able to have a top bar for the branding and have the navigation in the sidebar or at allow to have different versions of the logo when the sidebar is collapsed vs expanded

I'm encountering an issue with the Automated Versioning Manager (AVM) in Appian while managing application exports and imports through GitHub. Here's the scenario: When I export an application from Appian Designer, I receive a ZIP file that contains a 'META-INF' folder. Inside this folder, there are two files: 'export' and 'MANIFEST.MF'. I then use AVM to push this ZIP file to a GitHub branch. When I download the ZIP file from the GitHub branch or update my local repository with the application using the AVM command, the 'META-INF' folder now contains an additional subfolder named with the UUID of the application. Inside this subfolder, the same 'export' and 'MANIFEST.MF' files are present. Due to this additional subfolder, when I try to import the application back into Appian, it throws an error: The specified file does not contain a valid package and cannot be imported. (APNX-1-4154-000). How can I prevent the creation of thi

Hi Appian community, I'm an IBM BAW developer in Egypt considering a switch to Appian for remote work opportunities keep in mind there's no local market for appian in egypt at all. Quick questions: Can non-US/UK citizens find remote Appian jobs with US/UK companies? What are the key requirements for international candidates? Is learning Appian worthwhile for remote work, given no local market? Any tips to stand out as an international candidate?
