I have worked across various applications. In my first application, we had 2,3 query rules for same record type but each serving a different purpose depending upon the field being queried or the amount of data being passed. In another project, we have a generic rule for each record type which is being used whenever we want to query the data. In one more project, I have seen only one generic rule being used for all record types which in turn means even the record type is being passed dynamically. I want to understand which approach makes more sense, pros and cons and do we really need to modularize everything this much.

How to create a record type from scratch?

Hi, I am a new Appian employee and I just wanted to understand how many environments do we usually have in Appian where to deploy our applications? What are their most important features? Are there some best practices to follow in using them? I know there are the development one and quality (or testing) one for building and testing the applications and the production one where the applications run, but is there a link to a more specific documentation of the differences between them? I couldn't find it. Thanks for all the help!

Hi everyone,I have been using Appian's "Plan Your Application" functionality with AI Copilot, and it has suggested a number of objects for my application. However, I have not generated any of those objects yet.Since creating the initial plan, the requirements have changed and I would like to go back to the beginning and provide an updated specification so that AI Copilot can generate a new application plan.I can't seem to find a way to return to the initial planning step or restart the planning process from scratch within the same session.

HI, Looking for some help, we are using richTextFieldWithTables plugin  to show HTML data inside an interface, this richTextFieldWithTables is inside a cardLayout as the section may repeat multiple times.Production users complained that the application is not showing completed data, it is appearing like below for them, please observe last word “Thanks”. In Dev environment it is working correctly, if anyone has faced similar issue or knows any steps to troubleshoot this it would be very helpful.I have already looked into online troubleshoot steps and everything looks fine as per it.

Hi All, I have to export 51 columns using export data store entity to excel. I have added 2 nodes and given 50 entities in first node and 1 entity in second node of selection. I gave starting cell also (first node A1 and second AX1)Same document I want to update in second node but when it runs it makes first 50 columns (which was added by first node ) blank. Can we use this smart service any how to export more coulmns than 50 or is there any other smart service available ?

Gridplus is to a very large degree doing exactly what we needed in one of our apps, great stuff.  However, business users are getting picky now as it seems like the plug-in might not be able to refresh paging counts at the bottom of the control if filtering down the data to 0 records returned.  Any record or records present returned by the query rule listed in the configuration will update the paging counts.  I didn’t see this in known bugs, but wondering if anyone has tricked a refresh by adding a ‘do nothing’ row in the case the filtering is down to 0 records, or if someone may have another idea. 

Hello The instance has got paused at the write node the record value is not going as empty there was no error msg also after running the instance again i have got this error msg ERROR:Work item cancelled (Data Inputs) 

I use a viewer's account and try enter a new site, the account does not have permissions of the site. When I try enter the site, Appian alerting me to display  "403 Access Denied You don't have permission to view this page.", sometimes, an error is popped "An Error Has Occurred The Site xxx does not exit, has been deleted, or you do not have sufficient privileges to access its data." if I use designer's account, All are ok. I expect to display only one case - “403 Access Denied You don't have permission to view this page.”

I am new in Appian application development. Can any one please help me to know how can I get and use the Import CSV to Database smart service? Should I use any Plug-ins? If yes where from I can get it? I searched for it but did not get it.

 Hi all,During ongoing development, external application contents were accidentally added into a main application container using the add application contents option, significantly inflating the object count with foreign components and shared utilities.Before proceeding with cleanup, the goal is to confirm whether filtering by foreign prefixes and selecting "Remove from Application" solely detaches the container tag without altering published rules, impacting runtime execution for dependent models, or interfering with active changes in the environment.Note that there isn't a direct "Remove Application from Application" option available to undo this action in bulk. Any guidance on the safest workflow to prune these bulk-associated objects would be appreciated.Thanks!  

Hi all,I’m facing an issue in Appian that I’ve been investigating for the last few months. We have an application where we update user details using the Update User Profile smart service.There are around 1,000 users in the application, but for some users, the process model fails while updating their profile with the error: “The selected supervisor is invalid.”I checked those users and found that they don’t have any supervisor assigned in the admin console.During my investigation, I opened the failed process instance using Edit Process View and checked the error node. I noticed that the Supervisor field has a value at the instance level. However, when I opened the actual process model, there is no value configured for the Supervisor field—it is not hardcoded anywhere in the process model.I have checked the process model and related configurations, but I’m still unable to figure out where this Supervisor value is coming from.Has anyone faced a similar issue in Appian or have any idea wha

Hi All,I have a record type with one of the filters on this record is a Date Range filter on a due date field.Several departments want to save a view where the filter always defaults to "Today". but when Users save the filter with today's date selected, it saves the literal date (12-08-2026) rather than a relative reference. So the saved filter becomes stale the next day instead of always reflecting the current date. ( Default in the user filters doesn't make much sense because users will combine this due date filters with several other filters).Is there a way to save a Date Range filter so it stores a relative value rather than a fixed date, so it stays dynamic across days?As a option B, I'm considering adding a new filter with a dropdown that offers options like "Until today" / "Future Cases," which I could implement with relative date logic. But that would mean maintaining two separate filters for the same column (the original Date Range plus this new dropdown), which isn't my prefe

Hello everyone,We’re a software development company exploring Appian and its capabilities for building and integrating financial applications.As part of our work in fintech, we’re particularly interested in understanding how Appian can be used to integrate third-party financial APIs, including payment gateways, banking APIs, KYC/identity verification services, and transaction-processing platforms.We’d love to hear from experienced Appian developers:What are the best practices for fintech API integrations in Appian? Which approach do you recommend for integrating external financial APIs? How do you typically handle API authentication, security, error handling, and data mapping? Are there any Appian resources or real-world examples you would recommend for developers getting started?We’re currently learning more about Appian and would appreciate any insights or recommendations from the community.Thanks in advance!
