Hi Team, Is there a way to dynamically execute the record actions within Appian, with the action name saved in DB.  I'm aware that we can dynamically execute the process model by passing in the UUID (which can be save in DB as a text) but the business ask is to open up a task/UI in a dialog box which cannot be achieved through a!startprocessLink. And this was why we configured the PM as a record action and opened it as a dialog. Is there any means to dynamically execute the record action by retrieving its name from DB. TIA

I am getting values from database and I am displaying it and the filter is working fine. Now the Requirement is i need to add NULL Name in dropdown and display those names that are NULL. I am using append(local!dropdown,"NULL Name").  local!dropdown-- It has a rule that is used to display Dropdown value. My doubt is I need to Display NULL Name dynamically, i.e: if any value is Null then only i can see this option in dropdown. I am using below code but its wrong(as am comparing directly with NULL and value can be like: {Name1,Name2,Name3,Null}) can someone help me on this local!dropdownList: if(local!dropdown="NULL", append("NULL Name"),local!dropdown)

Hi! I created an app and I wanted not to let certain groups to execute record actions. I changed the security in the process model, so that only admins can be the initiator (same in rest of the objects), but when I eliminate myself from the group admins I still can execute the actions.  But the fact is that the views of my site in fact work if I change myself from groups. Why aren´t related actions permissions working?

Hi All, If we go with the Appian Cloud Database Encryption,(https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Appian_Cloud_Database_Encryption.html#default-encryption-for-tables) 1.  What is the performance impact - the article mentions small performance impact. Has anyone done this and what was the impact on performance(specific in milliseconds,seconds)? 2.  We have views defined in application which are used to display some dashboards on UI - will these be impacted as well? 3.  As per article,the phpMyAdmin will continue to show data as before encryption so how do we verify that encryption is working correctly

Hi! I´m trying to update a value (recepcionado = true) by clicking a button in an interface (button --> changes a field of the record to "true"). I created the interface and the rule input (record, from my record type) changes its value correctly, but it´s not saved. I did a process model to save the records, but when I try to use the write records component, the following message appears: ID pedido is my primary key in this record type. The interface (process start form) is a summary view for each ID_pedido, so I don´t know how to fix this error. When I run the process, even though the write records fails, my process variable (recepcionado = true) is saved What can I do?

am getting this error in PM, but i didn't find the issue.. i guess it's in user input node is throwing the warning. can anyone tell me what might be the issue

Hello, Does Appian allow for backwards compatablility with applications OR objects? I put one interface object in a package, and tried to import it to another appian environment that was not running the current version.

Hi! I was trying to create a button in an user interface. This button should change de value of the field "recepción" (boolean) to "true", and save it into the record type ("CPF_Maestro_Pedidos). With my configuration, I can pass the "true" value to the rule input (record) associated with the record type, but I´m doubting about which is the best way to save (overwrite) the value into the record. Also, I don´t know if I should create an action associated with the button or not.  Additionally, the interface is a record view interface.  Options I thought: 1) Use an expression inside the button code (like WriteRecords) to overwrite directly from here --> ¿how would be the structure? 2) Make a process model and use this interface as the start form and use write records component. The problem is that when I try to do that, an error appears (rank ---> data inputs). But the variable "recepcionado = true&qu

I have a record type which is not a synced type. It is referred using a CDT. I understood that synced records have better performance. I want to understand the difference between un synced record type and query entity, both are basically trying to fetch values from the Database. Can we use query entity instead of unsynced records?

I want my label to be thick and bold

I went thru the documentation and thought of increasing RTS count from 2 to 4 but looking for more info in terms of impact of this increment. We have 60 GB RAM and 4 CPU for the enviroment. Now Data server log file under ss folder is showing 9gb size and while starting up data server, CPU usage was 100% for few secs and some time in past it took 15 min to come up. In Appian Env, we have Record type sync and many columns are of 4000 char.  Will it be helpful to increase RTS count in this case to avoid any sync issue while bringing up the data server.
