Hi All, Currently the Appian OOTB record feature doesn't provide the progress of export. Once we click on export option there is no response for some time , after few seconds the document will be downloaded. There is no way we can show to users that document has been downloaded or at least the progress of download. Does anyone have any alternate hack/solution for this? The excel tools or any other plugins will show the progress option in browser tab, but we would like to use record export. Thanks, Karthik

Hi All, Is it possible to limit the number of rows displayed by an editable grid? I currently implemented paging but I doesn't do anything to the actual grid it keeps showing all the records. Basically I would like to do like a read only grid - show only 5 records then next page the 5 next following records like that. Is this possible? thanks again

Hi Team, When i select multiple records, it is showing in the grid. If you search with the linkable fields it shows me the summary about that record. But if I hit back on the screen, the records i have selected vanishes. I have to again select and access their details. Is there any way we can configure the interface to get the screen that shows the grid fields.

Hi @all, Can anybody help me in figuring out how we can apply show when condition for particular rows in an Editable Grid. My use case is to show all the rows initially but when we select any row, rest of the rows hide out and only that row remains in the grid. I am attaching an image of the interface of my editable grid: Highly appreciate your efforts.

Hi,  I am using a windows machine and while trying to use the Task Recorder on Appian RPA I am not able to select the Application. There is too much white space in between. I can see that the SELECT APPLICATION dropdown is at the bottom if I forcibly move the popup window at the top. I cannot resize this window (pop-up) nor I can drag it enough at the top for me to select the application. I see the issue on both of these versions.  Appian Version 22.3 Appian RPA 8.5.0 Appian Version 22.4 Appian RPA 8.7.0 I didn't face this issue earlier.. This may have happened in last 2-3 months with latest upgrade possibly. Is it just me or everyone is facing the same issue. I have already raised it with Appian thanks jaideep

I am experiencing an anomaly in the behaviour of the proxy once the Appian RPA config file has been set up on the machine hosting the Agent for Appian RPA itself. Although the config file has been compiled correctly, appianRPA's "autologin" service to the proxy doesn't work. The proxy popup is not handled autonomously, but, when opening any URL on Chrome, one has to fill in the fields manually and click Login. Following the official documentation of AppianRPA (docs.appian.com/.../agents.html, section "Generate config file") the config file is correctly set. Furthermore, also following the official documentation (docs.appian.com/.../manage-robots-installation-config.html, section "Configure a proxy for the auto-login service"), the management of the AppianRPA auto-login service has also been set correctly by following all the steps (environment variables, section "Log On" of the Auto-Login service).How can i fix this problem?

I am using the Send Meeting Request Smart Service to set up a meeting. It is sending the mail, updating the calendar, but not able to set it up as Teams meeting with a join link. Can anyone please help?

For my user story I am creating an interface section to display 4 cards for an Agenda's meeting information. For one of them I have a link that appears when a meeting is on one of the cards; the link is being shown as an icon. I was asked to make the link more obvious by underlining it but I am not sure how I am able to underline an icon. I was able to make the link correctly and it appears as the icon but I can't get the underline to appear. Any ideas? Here is the code I have for it written below:a!richTextItem(                        text: a!richTextIcon(                                             icon: "link",                                             linkStyle: "STANDALON

Hi All, We have a new project coming up, it is expected to have almost around 600,000 records being created in a year. We have one existing application with let's say around 100,000 records using entity backed synced record. My concern here is that existing application performs very slow with 100,000 records and most of the times export to excel fails also with 20,000 records to be exported now if we talk about 600,000 cases I am not 100% sure to use Appian OOB records.  I know we can create different records based on the personas and default source filters to make it work but what if customer wants to see all the records? What could be the alternative approaches to deal with this? Thanks!

After upgrading from version 20.2 to 22.4, we have observed an issue related to the task display name in the browser tab. Specifically, when tasks are linked in an activity chaining(sequential manner), the task display name does not update when transitioning from one task to the next upon completion. It is important to note that this functionality was working correctly in version 20.2.
