Hi Everyone, I am facing an issue while creating an Extraction Model using AI Document Center. During the Extraction Model creation wizard (Steps 1–6), the final step displays the list of objects that will be created ( 4 AI Skills and 2 Process Models). After clicking “Confirm”, I receive a success message indicating that the Extraction Model has been created successfully. However, the underlying objects that are supposed to be generated are not actually created. I have verified this across the entire environment and cannot find the AI Skills or Process Models that were listed in the final step. Because these objects are missing, when I try to run the extraction from the UI, the process fails with an error indicating that the required Process Model cannot be found. A few additional observations from my debugging: This issue started occurring only recently. The same setup was working fine earlier. No application objects or configurations have been modified. The E

Hi,Do we have any plug-in or function or layout which shows a pop up on page load but original interface page components are blurred out in the back end. Once we click OK for the pop up,  it should the original components of that interfaceSomething similar to this- Thanks in advance,Keerthi Bussa

All the process variables currently contain null values:pv!currentCase pv!redeemedLoans pv!amortizationWe are using the following expression to exclude null values:reject( a!isNullOrEmpty(_), { pv!currentCase, pv!redeemedLoans, pv!amortization } )However, when all process variables are null, the expression returns an empty list, which causes the error. The input “Records” must not be null or empty.Is there an alternative way to configure the XOR gateway that it skips the write operation when all values are null?, since i dont want to increase number of node by adding xor gate ?

ServiceNow -->Appian --->ServiceNowWe have a scenario where From ServiceNow user will request an action and then will redirect to Appian, In appian we have around 20 interfaces developed, based on the action requested they will redirect to one particular interface among the 20 interfaces. After performing evidence collection again after submit and toggle back option they need to redirect back to requested action page in ServiceNow. How to implement this functionality? What are the prerequisites needed and what are the limitations ? Help is much appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to write a record event with specific data of the changed record, using record event as an audit table, but I'm not sure how to get the data of a specific record when I'm writing multiple record in the same node, there is any clue on it?

How can I initiate the SFTP in Appian Designer? Are there any built-in Plugins available like HTTP or Appian RPA to initiate the SFTP? How can I connect AWS with the Process Model in Appian and make the data interactive between them?

Hello, I would like to inquire about the best practice for converting a large PDF document to base64 (approximately 500 MB). Currently, when using the base64todoc node in the process model, the conversion takes a considerable amount of time to complete.Could you please advise on the most efficient approach to perform this conversion and achieve the shortest possible processing time? Thanks,

Quardle stands out because it challenges players to solve multiple words simultaneously instead of just one. This adds complexity and requires better strategic thinking. Unlike simpler word games, every guess impacts several puzzles at once, which can either help or confuse the player. It encourages multitasking and deeper analysis. The increased difficulty level makes it more engaging for experienced players who want a greater challenge. It also improves problem-solving skills and vocabulary more effectively than traditional single-word puzzle games. 

Hello!I have an “Execute Stored Procedure” node in my process model, which sometimes breaks/get cancelled (db timeout mostly). I have optimized the performance of the procedure. However, I was wondering if I could trigger an exception flow right when the node breaks and not after a specific time (because I cannot control how much it will take to break, it varies each time). I tried adding an Error Occurred variable, but it fills up as an output, so when the node gets cancelled, it still hasn’t taken a value.So is there a way to trigger a new flow right when the node gets cancelled?

Hi,I’m working on a proof of concept for handling concurrent user updates using optimistic locking with a @Version field.This works well when using CDTs/Data Store Entities because Appian/Hibernate can use the version column to detect when a record has been updated by another transaction and prevent one user from overwriting another user’s changes.For synced Record Types, however, it does not appear that there is currently equivalent support for a version field that can participate in optimistic locking during record writes.Are there any plans to support @Version-style optimistic locking for synced Record Types / Write Records?The use case is to prevent lost updates when multiple users open and edit the same record at the same time, while still allowing us to detect conflicts and provide a merge/resolution experience to the user.If this is not currently planned, is there a recommended Appian-native pattern for implementing optimistic concurrency with synced Record Types?Thanks!

Hello… new to Appian and I’m working my way through the Developer path. However, it seems that the Appian Designer Community Edition performance is consisently slow for me over the last couple weeks. Is this normal for everyone? And if so is that indicitive of the real-world performance of the Designer IDE. Thanks!

Yes, reaction time can be trained daily with consistent practice. Short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes using tools like the Human Benchmark test are effective. Daily repetition helps the brain adapt and respond faster to stimuli. However, overtraining can lead to fatigue, which may temporarily reduce performance. It is important to balance practice with rest and proper sleep. Incorporating different activities such as gaming, sports, or coordination drills can also enhance results. Over time, daily training can significantly improve both speed and consistency in reaction performance.

Core ball is a great casual game because it is easy to learn but difficult to master. Players can start playing instantly without complicated instructions. Each level is short, making it perfect for quick gaming sessions. The increasing difficulty keeps players engaged without overwhelming them. Its simple design and addictive gameplay make it suitable for all types of players. Whether you have a few minutes or a longer break, Core Ball provides an enjoyable and satisfying gaming experience.

Core Ball helps improve several important skills, including hand-eye coordination, timing, and concentration. Players must carefully observe the movement of the rotating core and decide the perfect moment to release the ball. This enhances reaction time and precision. The game also trains patience, as rushing often leads to mistakes. Over time, players develop better focus and control. These skills are useful not only in gaming but also in real-life activities that require quick decision-making and coordination.

Hi,We are using a Start Event with a Receive Message trigger configured for Email messages.When an incoming email contains an attachment named Render_2026091902.pdf, Appian automatically creates and stores the document as Render.pdf in msg!properties.Attachments, completely stripping the underscore and the numeric string.Testing findings: Render_2026091902.pdf saved as Render.pdf (truncated). Render-2026091902.pdf saved as Render-2026091902.pdf (works fine). Since this happens during message ingestion at the Start Node trigger level (before process flow execution), is this a known issue or intended behavior related to document versioning suffixes?

Hi All,I’m seeing unexpected behavior with the Appian text() function when formatting a decimal value.For example:text("2.00000001", "0.0000000000")I would expect the output to be:2.0000000100 I’m getting:3.00000000000Has anyone encountered this behavior before?Is this related to how Appian is interpreting the first parameter as a number/decimal, or is there something specific about the text() format "0.0000000000" that I’m missing?Any explanation of why the value is being returned as 3.00000000000 would be appreciated.

Dear Appian Academy Support Team,I have completed the DocCenter for Partners module, and the course page shows it as 100% complete. However, when I go to my Learning Profile, the course still appears as 1 of 2 lessons completed (50%).I have attached screenshots showing both the completed module and the progress displayed in my profile.Could you please help me verify why the completion status is not updating and, if necessary, correct my progress?Thank you very much for your assistance.Best regards,Nestor Rafael Audante Ramos Dear Appian Academy Support Team,I have completed the DocCenter for Partners module, and the course page shows it as 100% complete.

Hi All,I am using the ganttChart component plugin (v1.0.0 by Low Code Minds) and facing an issue with tasksSaveInto it does not fire when a user drags a task bar on the chart.What I am trying to achieve:When a user drags a task bar to a new date range on the Gantt chart, I want the updated start/end dates to be saved back to the database and reflected in the grid.What I have done:1. Added tasksSaveInto to the ganttChart component (confirmed via Appian IDE tooltip that tasksSaveInto is a valid parameter)2. Set isDisabled: false on every task in the tasks array3. Set disabled: false on the ganttChart component itself4. Tested with both task bars and milestone barsDebug test:I replaced my entire tasksSaveInto handler with a simple test:tasksSaveInto: a!save(local!errorVar, "Drag detected!")When I drag any task bar on the chart, the bar moves visually on the Gantt but the save handler never fires — no error banner appears. The visual drag is purely cosmetic and resets on page refresh.My ga

Hi Team, I am facing an issue while using AI Chat Agent. I have created a chat agent and plugged in with an interface rule. When I start with conversation, it has started and entered into “Thinking” status and not producing the response even though the instance is completed successfully (I checked it via Monitor tab). How to fix this issue? Is this issue specific to my appian enviornment (Current version is 26.6)?For one of the instances, I did not get the response even after waiting for more than 5 hours. Please refer to the attached screenshots for your reference. Note, Is there any possibility to test a chat agent before integrating with an interface rule? Currently, we able to test Process Agents before we integrate them with a process model.

Hello everyone,  I have a table with several fields 'year_field' and 'month_field' forming the table's primmary key. It's mandatory that the fields remain as primary key. When I do that, Appian doesn't allow you create record or cdt associated with the data store. I have come up with a solution, but it might not be the optimal one. I will show it to you just in case either you have something to add or different way to make it better. The idea is to create a procedure to write, update and delete data in the table. Instead of using 'Write Record' node, the procedure would be triggered based on the operation you want to perform. For reading purposes, I have thought to create a 'Materialize View' where the view includes the primary key. That is my solution. If you have a smarter way to do this, please let me know. King regards and thanks

 We have a form called in the record action , a new row is added when the form is submitted in a grid. Based on the grid values we are displaying a card for above the grid for achievement rate. But card is refreshing with the current achievement rate only after manually refreshing page or switching tabs,its not updating immediately after this record action is completed.Where as for editing grid values and saving we are using a save button which is updating immediately after the process completion.How to solve this issue?  

Hi Appian Community,I have a situation involving a process model and a process report.I have a process report that retrieves process variables from active process instances and displays the data.For example, suppose we have an existing process model with several process variables. In the future, we add new process variables and need to populate those variables for existing active process instances.My understanding is that we can use “Upgrade Process” to upgrade the existing active instances to the latest process model version. However, the newly added process variables remain null because the nodes that populate those variables were not executed in the original process instance.The challenge is that I cannot simply restart or manually trigger the new node because the process instance are more, and that node was not part of the execution path when the instance originally started we cannot use “Restart Node” smart service.My requirement is:Upgrade existing active process instances to the

I’ve been working in my workspace using Appian Community Edition and find the knowledge center button difficult to work around. I don’t see a way to remove or move it. Is it possible to remove this button?
