Hi Everyone, we are small charity managing a large group of volunteers across a few locations and we are looking to implement a work-shifts aka time-slots allocation management system. Would anyone be willing to share their experience with Appian in this domain please? We are looking for your general impression of how good the functionality is. We assume this is a common business case. Thank you!

Hey Community, I have a scenario, that is in an interface I have two buttons, one for going to next page(Continue) and one in the interface for performing some action(Add Items), Intially in my interface i have an editable grid with some values, In that editable grid there is a column callaed category if any of the row doesn't hold category value then when clicking on continue it should show the  validation on the interface with button(Add Items) color changed to destructive, Both these  actions should be happened only when we click on continue button.Is this scenario possible. Thanks In Advance!!

My company is looking for a interface for performing Inventory variances.  They are currently using a PHP program that lacks a some features they would like to have and are looking for us to migrate to an Appian based platform.   With the current PHP interface, they have a grid where they have the option to select 1 of 3 quantities or to type in a different qty all together.  My first thought was an editable grid, but with the number of lines which can exceed 1000.  I did start with an editable grid, but after a few lines, the performance slowed down drastically and by the end, was taking up to 1 min per line selection. I am just looking for some thoughts and ideas on which road to travel down to keep it simple for them to select the qty they want, but also not kill performance. I have included a snip it of the current PHP interface.

Hi Folks , When we create a CDT we get an option to hide it from pickers and auto complete , what's the use of it , in what scenarios can we use it ?

Hello [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8], I was going through the product training videos from the Appian Academy and I came across this trick which I wanted to show you.  Scenario : Lets say we have a table whose primary key would be a foreign key to some other table (like an Order table whose primary key will be a foreign key to Order_Items table) In such scenario, when we insert the record in the first table (order table) , we need to extract the ID of the inserted row and we will use a script task to update the ID to the other table rows (Order_Items) In the script task we have couple of ways to update the foreign key as suggested in the below answers https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/process/25333/script-task-to-multiple-parameter-in-process-model https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/new-to-appian/24905/script-task-in-process-model/98510#98510 But the trick I found is, as below. It can be found in the community edition process name : AA New

We're using a record type, but one of the record field types needs to be changed from integer to text. I can update it in the database, but when I try to run a sync in hopes of being able to change it in the record type as well, the sync fails. How can I achieve this? I do not want to delete the field and create it again since it's referenced in a lot of objects that we use.

We have built a reporting framework that allows customers to customize columns and filters to generate a custom report. The customer is asking for more flexible filtering, including defining operators between filters and grouping filters, basically a UI for building logical expressions. Furthermore, the customer has more complex reporting requirements such as generating reports with dynamic columns, based on selected filters. We have a potential solution for the flexible filtering requirement, but we have performance concerns as our current filter framework uses nested CDTs Are there any existing solutions or examples of report builders / query builders in Appian? Also, what is Appian's recommendation for handling complex reporting / data analysis?  Thank You

It's critical to be able to tell Fitnesse to reload the DOM and move to a tab that is opened by the application.  How do we do this in Fitnesse? Please don't include any UX recommendations for not opening new tabs just looking for an answer as to whether it's possible and if so how. Here is the same question with no answer from 5 years ago.  [mention:b91cee8a40da4dec91d2b850668d8c3c:46448885d0e64133bbfbf0cd7b0fd6f7]

I have this code which I use to query task report. I want the filter to check if the asignee groups are in an array of input groups. Take a look at the working example first:a!queryProcessAnalytics( report: cons!GBD_Report, contextProcessModels: cons!GBD_Process, query: a!query( pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( startIndex: 1, batchSize: 100, sort: a!sortInfo( field: "c2", ascending: true ), ), filter: a!queryFilter( field: "c4", operator: "=", value: ri!group ) ), ), This works because ri!group is not an array but a single group. However when I turn the ri!group into an array of groups, and instead of operator "=" use operator "in" so basically check if group is IN an array of groups I get no data

Hi, I have a form which has an edit button on it which is on the summary page and not added as a related action as per client's requirement. The form is working just fine will all the validations upon clicking on "Submit" button.

Hi, does anybody knows what http code do I receive for the operative APIs when the Appian service goes down?

Good day Some users asked me if it is possible for us to have a kind of "Global" saved-filters. By today, each one of them need to fill the fields and go to Manage Filters > Save filter as .... But as they are store operators, they have a lot of filters that they wanted shared between them. After saving we have the following Filters: We wanted to define a global version of this, so every user in that profile might have access to it. Is it possible to do ? Or at least a user can export their filters for the others to import ? Thanks in advancecc.: [mention:a897b8cf98a0422ea0250353deb54416:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]
