I am using DOCX from dynamic template and able to generate document having multiple pages (generated dynamically and depends on the size of passing array.) For each entry i have a header and because of the data length, Header is not coming on top of each page for many entries. How can i make sure that header will always come on Top and next header and related data will go to next page always with this process. Is there anything we can configure in Dynamic template?

I am getting the following message in the log when attempting to send emails outside Appian users like a gmail account. Different recipient domain on a smart-hosted and non-authenticated email. Sending server should retry this recipient separately next.

is there a way to allow sophisticated formatting such as bullets / underlining / bold etc. in any of the input component in Appian.?

I have a requirement to generate a PPT files from Appian. Did anyone come across similar requirement. Will appreciate any suggestions.

I have a table with 1:M relationship, as stated in 23.3 I can update with just one write records smart service, how to pass related data there

Hello, I'm new on Appian and recently started learning JAVA and RPA as a junior developer. So I started following the Calculator Tutorial (I used Intellij) and after running the command mvn clean deploy in the last step I got this message on the command prompt: So I assumed everything was right. But when I went to test the robotic task (I changed the name to "Calculator-Tutorial") nothing happened. I'm sorry if perhaps this is too obvious but i really don't understand why it is not opening the calculator.

Hi All, Good day!  I have a robotic task which automates excel activities like sort,filter,insert rows & so no. For each action, I have created a sub robotic task. Based on the input (robotic task variable), I need to call the specific subtask and perform excel activities. Example: If my input variable actionName = "sort", then I need to call robotic subtask of sort operation. As of now I could find only If Conditional check in Robotics Actions, which is causing too much delay in processing as it traverses if conditions one-by-one. How can we call a robotic subtask dynamically?Can we implement a logic that works as a switch case in Appian RPA? Kindly let me know for any work arounds

I had written some logic that queried a record (expecting, and getting a single record, by passing a unique filter value) The query actually could return multiple records, so returns a List of the relevant cdt Then I tested a boolean field in that record is true or false, and returns one of two lists of items, for example something like this: if ( index(my_cdt, "booleanField",false), list_one, list_other ) My list was being returned but only with the first item in it! The issue is that the query returns a list of records, so the if statement parameter 1 is on a list type. An example of the logic I was actually executing was therefore: if( {true}, {1,2,3}, {4,5,6} ) This actually returns {1}, not {1,2,3} if( true, {1,2,3} {4,5,6} ) will return {1,2,3} as expected. Further example to show what's actually happening: if( {true,false,true}, {1,2,3}, {4,5,6} ) This returns {1,5,3} !! An easy mistake to make, so hopefully some one wil

Hi, I have a question regarding Activity Chaining? Activity Chaining is useful only for User input task  to show synchronosly or any other reason?

Hello, I'm currently building an audit history for my job. The way our client wants the history displayed is grouped by the date that the history action is created on. So that the list sometimes displays 1 action per timestamp and sometimes 2 or 3 actions by timestamp. We have found a way to do this but it is complicated. I get all the values in the histActionOn, then I uses union() to get only the unique values. From this point I can do more complex indexing to organize all the actions by date, or I can throw a a!queryRecordType() in a for loop and filter it by the histActionOn field. This gets exactly what I need. A record list with actions separated by date and time, but it's incredibly inefficient as it puts a query in a for loop. I'm sure there's a way to group all the actions by unique dates, but I don't know a way at this point. Any thoughts?Thank you Jason

Hi,  Does anyone know if there is a plugin to enable Appian applications access to secrets stored in the Hashicorp Vault or in Amazon KMS?  Thanks!

Hello All-  There is a requirement to display all the tasks name along with other details in an interface and the data should be filtered by the task owner/ assigned group. When task owner or the user of the assigned group logs in, the user should be able to view all the details along with the tasks which are assigned to the user.  I am using query process analytics to fetch details from a task report within read-only grid. Any advice? TIA

I want to keep documents from each speaker in a separate folder.  I create the folder in a separate process and store the name of the folder in a field the Record Type of Speaker.  Now when I want to upload documents, I need to set the Folder parameter in the a!fileUploadField().  When I set the target to the field, i get an error that Appian cannot cast the value of Record Field into a type of folder.  I guess that I have to use the Cast() function to do that. However, I can not figure out how to format the Cast function to do that.  I read the documentation for Cast() and TypeOf(), but I am still lost. target: cast( typeof("folder"),'recordType!PMSO Speaker.fields.folder'), Could someone please let me know how to proceed?

Hey, I try to find components through Object View search that still uses 23.3 version as we updated to 23.4. But, when I searched(in the expression), nothing showed up and there are no of objects with what I searched. Searched for 'buttonWidget_23r3' and no object is available: Just one of the component that uses 23.3 version component.

Hello, I am currently working on an application for training purposes. I have a process for adding a record and editing it. I had a sub-process for both, where I am sending an email to a user group whenever a record has been added or edited. I was able to make parts of the email dynamic (e.g. "Information about [dynamicName] has been [changed/added]), but I would like to embed a record summary view link in that email, so that users can navigate straight to the updated record from that email. Now, the urlforrecord() function generates a working URL, but it links to Tempo, and not the summary view of my record. I have been trying a few things, but nothing seems to work. I would be very much obliged if someone helps me figure this out. To sum up: I need to dynamically generate a URL to a record summary view on my site to embed it within the email body. Thanks!

Hi, everyone! So we have a database table that has 100+ columns. But in Appian, record types have a limit of 100 when it comes to number of record fields. Is creating a 2nd record type sourcing from the same table an appropriate solution for this? If not, what would be the ideal way of doing this? Would gladly appreciate your help.

Hi, I am trying to get the PDF preview to work in a grid. I tried using the a!documentViewerField() but apparently, its not supported or is unable to be recognized in the grid rows. Any ideas how I can get this worked around ? At present using the below field to display the any image extension files. a!imageField( size: "SMALL", isThumbnail: true, images: { a!documentImage(document: fv!item.imageId) } ) Thanks Neil
