Hi! I´m trying to write records using the a!writeRecords inside an interface. First of all, I save all the values of my editable grid in a local variable (local!LineasPedido), and I checked that, when i fill a number in the grid, the value is saved in the local variable correctly After this, in the button configuration, I added a a!WriteRecords function inside the saveInto parameter of the button My process model is the following one (First I fill some fields in a previous interface, upload the records with the WriteRecords Smart Service in the process) and then I continue filling and updating the PO lines directly from the interface. The interface exposed in which I upload the records directly with the code is marked in red Logically, there is no value for the rule input of the second interface associated with the record type in which I´m saving the values (because I´m doing directly the write records in the interface over the local variable, not passing it to a

Hi All ,It's a very common but very tricky question which I am not able to resolved.Let's say I have 3 Users who are using any Appian Application.They are added in 3 different groups as mentioned below: User 1 : Added in Group A having  Administrator rights.User 2 : Added in Group B having Viewer rights.User 3 : Added in Group C having Editor rights.All these users doesn't have any Designer rights i.e. they are not added in Appian Designer group.So , What would be the difference between the role of these 3 Users.I am not able to get the difference between Administrator, Viewer, Editor rights from End User Perspective who doesn't have Designer AccessIf there are any differences , Please list down all .

Hi  I have created a constant for storing all the valid file extensions  constant : OPP_TXT_VALID_FILE_EXTENSION  -> {"PDF", "JPEG", "JPG", "PNG", "DOCX", "DOC", "XLSX", "XLS", "CSV", "TXT"}  Now I wanted to implement a validation in fileUploadField wherein I want to check for valid file extensions. For this I am using the contains function  contains ( cons!OPP_TXT_VALID_FILE_EXTENSIONS, upper(fv!files.extension) ) Now even for a valid file extension (say PNG) this validation fails But if I use normal array of hardcoded values instead of constant then I am getting the desired result contains( {"PDF", "JPEG", "JPG", "PNG", "DOCX", "DOC", "XLSX", "XLS", "CSV", "TXT"}, upper(fv!files.extension) )    Is there something that I am missing ?

Hi All, We have a date field component in an interface and its taking more number of characters which is not needed. Refer below screenshot. We need to restrict the number of characters to be entered is mm/dd/yyyy i.e., 10. Along with that is there any possibility that we can take only digits as input and datefield will auto apply "/" as per format "mm/dd/yyyy". We dont want the user to type more characters and date component validation fires and display the message. Rather placing restriction makes many things easier. Kindly suggest on the above.

Hi! I have an editable grid in which the user can add new rows. I want a number for each new row generated (1,2...),  and save the value into my local variable (local!LineasPedido). I tried to configure it by two different ways but, even though the "value" appears in the grid, it is not saved correctly in my local data Way1: Way2: In the next image you can see the value is generated, but the column "Linea Pedido" does not appear on the right side My code is the following one: a!localVariables( local!LineasPedido, { a!sectionLayout( label: "LÃ%ADneas Pedido", labelIcon: "list-alt-solid", contents: { a!gridLayout( label: "A continuación, incorpore las lÃ%ADneas de pedido correspondientes y pulse el botón de creación", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Linea Pedido"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Pedido"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Proveedo

Hi all, I have the following requirement.  I have a related action in the application record where I am updating the application details.  I am updating several forms in the application like "Address Details, Educational Details, Experience Details, References etc".  I have separate screens and process models for editing each section. In the Update Application screen, I am displaying these section names and Edit link near the section names.  So when I click the "Edit" link the respective screen opens and I am able to edit the details of that section. The problem I am facing is when I click the edit button, the process opens in a new tab instead of the same tab,  I am using a!startprocesslink to edit the details.  I want the edit process to open in the same tab, and when I finish editing the process, I want to return to the same update application screen.  How can I achieve this? Thanks, Brinda Sateesh

I am generating an excel with Export DSE to EXCEL.The smartservice consults a view with the data ordered by a date field.The result obtained in the smartservice is ordered by id (PK), not by date.How can we order by the date field in this smartservice or collect the records as they are in the view without ordering them by pk?

Hi team, So I have a requirement where in the interface if i click on the product name link in a grid it should go to the summary page interface. But it has to be linked through the process model.  In the image above, the start form is the home interface. but when i start the process from the process model, it is opening a separate tab for the summary page which is not linked through the process model. So the process is still stuck in the start form. How do i configure the drillable link to open the summary page for that particular product using the process model?  And the other thing is, the is a button link in the summary page which is visible only when a certain Boolean rule input is false. how do i set it as false as default in the interface itself? I was able to set the process variable false only in the process model before the process starts.

Hello there, We need to update an Appian Portal based report (old technology previous to SAIL based reports) that displays multiple process instances. Many of them (around 3000) have incorrect security settings and need to be updated. What is the simplest way to do it? Is it possible to use Appian RPA for it? The solution requires to select each individual entry in the report and change the security settings. It is just a couple of clicks to resolve it but it needs to be done thousands of times. Is it possible to do it through a process model? Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Kindly revert back if you need any more information.  Thank you! 

Hi! I´m making an interface in which the user can add new rows. After filling the price and the quantity, the column "Importe Total" is calculated I would want to save and show the value of the sum of the values in the column "Importe Total", to make a "Total Sum", show this in another cell and save the value into another record (the data of the PO lines are saved in a different record, specific for PO Lines, and the value of the total sum would be saved in a Record of "global" PO) *In the case of the pic, the TotalSum = 200 I leave here pics of the configuration and the code inserted (applied the magic button to order it and make it more readable) 1-Logic of the pxq (Total Importe Column) --> the logic was applied in the "cantidad" and "precio unitario" columns in order to save the value "Importe Total" correctly 2- The entire code: a!localVariables( local!grid, { a!sectionLayout( label

We have requirement where schedule activity has to save the excel document into folder or sharepoint from where User can refer any time in future. This is big file and need to run Quarterly so doesn't want to be into Appian forever. While following the steps mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs#setting-up-an-app-only-principal-with-tenant-permissions to generate clinet id etc. I am getting a message that Tenant Admin has to approve the permission. Now while going thru share point offering in our organisation, seeing below- "Apps requested from the sharepoint are not supported. The interface allows requesting the Apps from share point store and send approval to share point admins, since it is not supported feature, request  will not be consideredor approved" Does that mean we can't do Appian + Sharepoint integration in our organisation? We use SPOL(Sharepoint Online)
