Hi All, We have a requirement to keep an audit trail of re-assigned tasks. Who reassigned the task, when, and to whom.I checked the documentation https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Process_Reports.html#task-report-typebut did not see anything.Does anyone have some hints to achieve this without abandon the Appian Task Assignment capabilities completely? Thanks

Hi team, We are facing one challenge to understand the resassignment behaviour with the user input task. We have two groups G1 and G2. Scenario1: When G1U1 opens the task he will see below options when he clicks on reassign he will see below popup and he reassigns it to G1U2 from the available list and when G1U2 user opens the task he seeing only these options and their is no blue banner. Scenario 2: When G2U1 opens the task he will see below options when he clicks on reassign he will see below popup and he reassigns it to G2U2 from the available list and when G2U2 user opens the task he seeing only these options and their is no blue banner. Why there is difference in reassignment popup between group users and the previlages in the U2 of each group for the reassigned task.

Hello.I would like to use Advanced Video Player Component to display a video from a URL registered by the user.The reason why we don't use the existing Video Component is because we want to restrict video downloads. However, the Advanced Video Player Component was unable to pass the URL as a constant. It will be pitch black as shown below.Please tell me the solution for this.

Hi Team, I have tried using Compare and Deploy option for moving code from one environment to another environment. But it seems Last Modified by general account name instead of my name.

Hi, I have a quite few files in a shared network path and I will get the files based on some intervals.

Hi everyone, I would like to know the following thing for my process: I have a record where data is put, including users taken from a group defined inside Appian. I would like each user, when he logs into the site where this record is displayed, to see only the row corresponding to his username. For example, as in attachment below, if the operator "Canelli" log in the site, is capable to see all the rows of the site with its name and not the other rows, so only the rows with ID 6 and 14. If Piemonte log into the same site, he's capable to see only the 8th and the 9th rows and so on.   is it possible to do this? I enclose an example of a view of the site in question. Many thanks in advance.

I'm in a discussion with a colleague on whether its legal to use {} to delimit nested variables in an if statement. I.e.: if( {                 this and(or( isnull(local!shortRecon.recordsRequested), isnull(local!shortRecon.reconsiderationRequested) ), local!claim.claimStatusId<>cons!OWB_DBID_LOOKUP_ID_CLAIM_STATUS_FINAL_ORDER_ISSUED ) },                 and this {                 this if(isnull(local!shortRecon.recordsRequested),a!save(ri!recon.recordsRequested,false),{}), if(isnull(local!shortRecon.reconsiderationRequested),a!save(ri!recon.reconsiderationRequested,false),{}) },                 and this {} ) Is this acceptable use?

Hi everyone, I have to set up a process that is always run, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The process is based on receiving emails that are sent to the starting node, I don't know exactly when they are sent and above all the cadence of the process is random: even hundreds of emails per minute can be sent at the end of the day or at regular intervals. How do you set the timer trigger for this case? p.s: i don't have the license to integrate Appian with RPA Thank you all.

Hi Team Can we trigger a process model from 9 AM and 9 PM. Usually, we add timers to trigger at that particular time.

Hi, I have a docx template which has notes and footers, but when I make a conversion to PDF, the file doesn't keep these footers and notes (except the footer which is in the first page, if it is the only unempty footer). I need to put a note in the PDF or a footer in the second page. I tried putting a table or a textbox in the footer in word but the problem is not solved. The plug-in version is 1.0.7 and it is used by a lot of objects inside the application, so I'm not sure updating the plug-in is a safe solution.

For the SFTP connection to establish, The SFTP plug-in asks for the required fields I have the Server hostname, server port, and SSH Key. Can I take other required fields from Appian itself, or Do I need to install any other software?

Hi, I am working on a date validation, where I want the date format based on various user locale to be converted into a common date format "dd/MM/yyyy". I am using "datetext()" function and it gets converted into the desired format whenever I tried to enter the value based on the user's calender format. But whenever I tried for other test scenarios, it fails. For example: If I enter date as "dd.MM.yyyy" in the expression of the test inputs, then in the value of the test input, I don't get the entered date in the desired format("dd/MM/yyyy") . I need every date formats of the various user locales to be converted into "dd/MM/yyyy". Please provide some suggestions. Thank you.

Dear Appian Experts, I am new to Appian and exploring the capabilities of Appian platform. 1. Which framework is followed to develop applications using Appian? MVVM or MVC or something else? 2. Is it possible to create native Android/iPhone applications from scratch using Appian? 3. I came to know that Each Site/Portal has limitation of using maximum 5 pages for UI. Can we create a custom web/native application with any number of pages?

I would like to give users only the URL of the site and want them to use only the site. In that case, is it possible for users (site users) to use Tempo's news function? The purpose is to use the news function to communicate between users.
