Hi, I have a requirement to display an interface that includes a calendar (I'm using the googlecalendarchartfield plugin) to users who don't have an Appian account. I thought of creating a portal as a possible option, but when I publish the calendar interface, it shows the following message in the portal: I have read that this is because portals are not compatible with plugins. Is there any other alternative to display the interface to users who are not in Appian? Thank you very much.

I have two tables, Volunteer Requests and Speakers.  The Volunteer Request table collects requests from a website through an API to become a speaker.  The process model writes to the Request table the status of the Volunteer Request, (Approved or Not Approved), then writes the data to the Speaker table for those Volunteer Requests that are approved. When I process an approved Volunteer Request, the process throws an error at the XOR decision node. The error is, "An error occurred while evaluating expression: =pv!volunteerRecord['recordType!PMSO Volunteer Request.fields.volunteerStatusId']=2 (Expression evaluation error : Cannot compare incompatible operands of type Null and type Number (Integer).)" However, the Write Record smart service Update Request, does it's job perfectly and updates the volunteerStatusId in the pv to 2 for an approved Volunteer Request and writes the data to the database. The expression in the XOR decision node is: The field is an inte

Hi I would like to automatically delete files in Appian's document folder.For instance, is it possible to automacally delete files that is uploaded over a month ago?

Problem: When applying a!toJson on a record type, record fields of type user will be converted to JSON objects. When casting the JSON back to record type, it fails to convert the user object (dictionary) to User type with error: CastInvalidCould not cast from Dictionary to User.  Example recordType!Test(id: 1, createdBy: "user 1") - createdBy record field is USER type a!toJson on the above will return a json object with nested createdBy object: {"id"=1, "createdBy": {"id":"username1"}} a!fromJson returns a dictionary with createdBy as a nested dictionary: {id:1, createdBy:{id: "username1"}} casting to recordType!Test will throw error CastInvalidCould not cast from Dictionary to User. Changing the record field type from user to text would eliminate issues in JSON conversion, but it takes away the ability to use record security rules by user fields. Another workaround is to flatten out a

Hi, I've been trying to access process mining from my community dashboard but whenever I click on "Request my account" button on the Explore Process Mining section and select the region (in my case, India) and click on check Status, it resets itself and I'm back to "Request my account" again. I haven't received any emails regarding process mining and I'm aware that it might be a server issue but just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one stuck in this loop.

Hi all,I have defined a process variable in a process model with CDT type. It is working fine in all environments. Now I am adding some new fields into the CDT and published the datastore. Its working fine in dev. When I moved these changes to higher environment( just moving the CDT and scripts and not the process model where the pv is defined as CDT type), its not working as expected. The newly added fields are not present in the CDT type process variable in the process history while debugging and the pv datatype shows with ^ symbol. Can anyone help with this?
