I am trying to use the move documents smart service in  MNI mode to move multiple documents to a folder. It's  only moving the first document and the next documents are getting deleted from appian. I can't find them by name or document id anywhere in Appian.  When I try to find the document using getcontentobjectdetailsbyid function, it returns this response.  "Content Object [Name: SamplePDF3.pdf, UUID: _a-0000e63c-719f-8000-9bb5-011c48011c48_148201, Parent: , Parent Id: 0, Type: Document, Created by: 00001, Created on: 2021-07-02 06:57:50.0, Last updated by: 00001, Last updated on: 2021-07-02 07:05:39.0, Latest version: 1, State: Active Published, Internal file name: accdocs3/7285/10005248.pdf]"(Text) But the document is not visible anywhere - old or new folders. Additionally this is only happening on version 21.1 and not on 21.2

I added a tab component to an interface I was building and added 4 additional tabs to the 3 that come with it automatically. I had all 7 formatted the same and working perfectly fine as each was clicked. However, I discovered that I had missed a needed tab that meant to go in the 5th slot, so I added another tab, moved it up to the 5th spot in the component configuration section, and then went through that it along with the 3 that moved down were all updated and formatted correctly. Now however, when clicking through the tabs, only the first 4 tabs become selected and show their given information below it, the new tab along with the others that moved down the list are selectable now, clicking on them just updates the page but does not change the selected button. I've been through the code and everything looks as it should I think, does anyone have any thoughts why it wouldn't be working now? Coding for the tabs: a!localVariables( local!selectedTab: 1,

Hi! I want to display in a text field of an interface a value of another record. The fact is that, if I introduce it manually (ri!record1....), the field name appears correctly, but can´t be used in my process model (error). If I enter all manually, it works. What can be happening? The fields with arrows are introduced manually and work okay. The others dont even though they appear

I am trying to set up a related action that will allow me to add a new record, but copy all the attributes of the record that I am currently on. Currently I can only get it to update the current record. I think I need to remove the primary key that is present before writing the new record, but Im not sure. Example: I have a list of record type: vehicles. I want to be able to go to vehicle 1, click Copy, and then save, and it created vehicle 2.  vehicle 1 [ color: black year: 2019 ] vehicle 2 [ color: black year: 2019 ]

Hello, I have a requirement where I have to save the user state of the interface/page into DB and load it back when user comes back to that interface/page. For example, if the interface has tabs, then I want to save the active tab the user is looking at into DB and restart the interface with that tab selected when user comes back. This could be extended to the filters user has chosen, etc. This requirement came from a scenario where I have a dashboard with a table with startProcess links in each row, when user clicks on once row the startProcess opens up a form in the same tab. Once the user completes the work and comes back to dashboard, I want to maintain the state of the UI as it was when he/she triggered the startProcess. I could create required writeToDataStoreEntity and get page state queries. I found that these have to be used in every saveInto of the element whose state I want to store. This is cumbersome and bloats the expression in the interface. Another s

Hi! I have two records with different record actions in separated process models (create purchase order vs create invoice). In this case, I would like to be able to initiate the process of invoice creation based on the purchase order data (id, supplier, and other data passed automatically to the create invoice interface) My trouble here is that I need to do this from the summary view for each purchase order ID (until now I had a different action in each record view).  I was thinking about creating a button in the summary view, but I don´t know how to pass the variables in a correct way or the best practice here. Which options do you recommend? Creating a button and link it to the proccess model to create the invoice? Create a related action? My process steps would be something like this: 1) User clicks in the summary view of the purchase order 2) In the summary view, there should appear a button to make an invoice with the PO data 3) The data collected should flow to

We are looking for chat window to record/type it and  save for the particular case(on summary and other related action screens). Example: As like chatbot screen, but just to type the detailed description and click save it. Its more about log save window. Is there any functionality or interface that supports in Appian?

Hello All, We need to show the generated docs in the interface, and if there is any error in the document generation need to show an error to the user. Document creation takes time so we created the PM to generate the document and used the process report for the generate document process model. We are using queryProcessAnalytics in the interface with a refresh variable to check the "generate document" process status. We need to stop re-querying the queryProcessAnalytics if any error is received from the process report, used the below code to achieve this. local!processReportData: a!refreshVariable( value: if( true(), /*Some conditions*/ a!queryProcessAnalytics( report: <<process report>>, contextProcessModels: <<process model to be checked>> query: a!query( /*c1 - processStatus (1=Completed)c3 - process Idc6 - errorMessage*/ logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: a!queryFilter( field: &quot

Hi! I was trying to make a security rule for my record (filter --> loggedUserName() = nomProveedor (one of my fields)), but in the security rule I can only put direct values or constants   I found out that there are security expressions, but how should be my structure to obtain a filter like the mentioned one? Example: Username: Proveedor 1 I want to filter the record so that he can only see the rows in which my field "nomProveedor" is equal to the Username Thanks a lot!

Hi! I was creating a PO interface and I want two of the fields to appear automatically: 1) Field 1: NomProv (supplier name) - In this case, I have a record type in which a "NomProv" value (and also, the NIF number, an extra field) is assigned to each username ("usuario"). It is an static record, and I want it to make relations between the fields, and obtain the "NomProv" for each username ("usuario") To obtain the nomProv for each user logged in,  I created the following rule expression: In this case, I´m logged in as carlos.paz.pelaez@pwc.com, so it returns the value "Proveedor 2" as a test output (works fine for me) But the fact is that I want to pass this test output ("Proveedor 2") to a field in my interface so that the user cannot change it. But I dont know how to pass the rule expression output to the text field! Also, I tried to pass the value as a local variable, but it is not allowed: 2) Field 2: NIF -

Hi! I´m creating a rule expression to return a value based on the logged in user, and use this value in an interface. In this case, I want to return the value "Proveedor 2" and show it in the interface. But the problem is that, when I try to reference the rule as a local variable, the following is shown. My local variable configuration is: I think the problem is in the test output of my expression rule. When I put it in raw format, the same text which appears in the interface is show (I just want "Proveedor 2"): 1)Image of expression Rule 2) Expression rule output in various formats In this case, I would like to extract just the "Proveedor 2" output. How can I do this?
