Does Process deadline triggers escalation?

Hello everyone. I was using an AWS EC2 Linux instance to run RPA, open browser action was failing. using Chrome and Chrome driver of the same version.

I am new to Appian and I want to understand the process for achieving my goal of building a website within the platform. I would like for users to be able to sign up, sign in, and add their information to a database. They will also be uploading documents, and I need to extract information from these documents and save it in the database. I am trying to make this a community accessible site. However, I am currently stuck as I am unable to determine if my sign-up and sign-in functions are working correctly, as only community users are allowed to log in. Can anyone suggest some resources or tutorials that I can use to learn and achieve my goal, as I am having trouble finding a comprehensive guide on how to create a website and deploy it to a domain where users can sign in and log in? Also, I would appreciate any information on using zonal OCR for document reading. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I have an Add/Update form and a GRID that can add or update data that is already there. I have 1 dropdown in this form that I can't figure out why it is not saving properly to the GRID. I select 1 of the 2 options from the dropdown and submit but it seems to make it NULL on the GRID no matter which option I choose.  Any help here would be much appreciated. I will share some code snippets below. Dropdown data fetch: local!relTypeData: a!refreshVariable( value: rule!TB_QE_getValuesForDropdownCategoryFromKeyValueConfig( appName: cons!TB_TEXT_KEY_VALUE_CONFIG_APP_NAMES[2], category: cons!TB_TEXT_KEYS_CONFIG_CATEGORIES[13], selectionList: { "key1", "value1", "isActive" } ).data, refreshAlways: if(ri!selection = 12, true(), false()) ), local!isActRelType: index( local!relTypeData, wherecontains( cons!TB_TEXT_ISACTIVE[1], touniformstring( index(local!relTypeData, "isActive", null) ) ), null() ), l

Hi, I have been trying to get the Create PDF Smart Service to run but keep running into the same error, no matter how I configure the inputs of the node. The error I am getting is An error occurred in executing an Activity Class. When I came across this error, I went looking through the community and tried to use the solution provided in the post below https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/10333/pdf-tools---create-pdf-smart-service This solution did not work and we get the same Activity Class Error as one of the replies on the post. I have tried configuring the node in many different ways to try and solve the error but the below is the configuration that makes the most sense to me which still returned the above error: INPUTS: Create New Document: True New Document Name: "Test_"&now()&".pdf" New Document Desc: null, Save In Folder: Folder referenced by an constant Existing Document: null, Document: null, Pause On Error: false, Content

Hello, I have an issue with a record action process model that sends a message to another process model to raise an exception on a user task.This was working previously, but seems not to send the message anymore.I have checked the following to find a solution: The record action is correctly picking out the correct process id to send the message.Copy and pasting the "get process id" and "send message" nodes to a sandbox test process model correctly sends the message and throws the exception on user task.Here are the set-ups for the send and receive messages:

We are currently on Appian 23.1 and we are trying to click on a cardChoiceField. Can someone please advise the correct script to use. The script in the Cheatsheet doesn't appear to work. Click on card in card choice field: |click on card|CARD_NAME or CARD_NAME[INDEX]|in card choice field|FIELD_NAME or FIELD_NAME[INDEX]| We tried using "choice" in place of "in card choice field" and that doesn't work either.

In the context of an on-premise server, we have the capability to manage log files by archiving, compressing, and uploading them to S3 for efficient on-premise server disk storage management. However, when our application runs on Appian Cloud, we are aware that we can access the log files via the /logs URL, as shown in the attached screenshot. While it's possible to manually download these files one by one, compress them, and then upload them to S3, we are trying to find the best and most efficient approach to streamline this process. Any insights on the quickest and most intelligent way to handle this step would be greatly appreciated please.

An end-user needs to trigger a process model and act on the user task assigned to them. What is the minimum security permission needed?

I have created a task report. When I apply the 'Active' flter, what is the nature of the tasks which will be filtered out?

So I have a question if something is possible. In this application we are going to be developing there are two ways to submit a form. (and when I say form, I mean a paper form, not the formLayout component in Appian. You can fill it out and mail it in, or you can fill out the information online (We are revamping an old legacy system with Appian). But what the client wants to know if it's possible is after you fill out the information on the appian application, on the "Review" part of the process where you review all the information you just entered, is if they can "view" it in the form. So instead of just using Appian read-only fields which is what I've done on other applications during similar Review steps, an image of the paper form is displayed on the interface and the information is imputted into its proper place on this form. Does this make any sense? Hahah. I just need to let the client know if this is possible or not. Thanks!
