Hello everyone I am using HTML to PDF (Page Number and Custom Fonts) Smart Service, in the data configuration there is a font document, I want to see an example on what is the font document? Can anyone help me? Thanks 

I've looked into a!documentViewerField, a!imageField (with a!documentImage), and a!richTextImage (with a!documentImage) and tried to display the contents of a TIFF file with no success. Does anyone know how to display a TIFF file on an interface? Thanks

I don't see any information in the documentation about how to train the AI Document Extraction process.  I thought that invoices were already trained, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Additionally how would we train a new document class, like insurance claims for example. I see doc'm about how to setup the fields, but how do we train for locate/extraction rules?   Do we just run a bunch of docs thru manual reconcile?  Is there a way to clean out bad documents/trainings? How do we get more insight into what's going on behind the scenes with extraction? Thanks in advance!

Hello Appian Community, Use-case - We have a process containing 8-9 stages(UI Screen), each stage having "Next", "Save" & "Back" buttons. Requirement - Need to capture the time spent by the user on each stage and use this for auditing and generating reports for business owners to understand, how much time users are spending. Approach - Appian provides a process property name "starttime" and we can configure a script task with a custom process variable with "endTime" as the "now()" function. Need Suggestion -  Is there any better OOTB feature to achieve the requirement? What is the value of "starttime"?How to capture "endTime" without configuring an additional script task after each stage? Appreciate your suggestion. 

Hello, I'm using docxncolumntable to generate a table for a word doc.  The table that gets created is too narrow to fit the page and requires manual readjustment of the table. The parameters for the function do not appear in the help screen. I checked the documentation provided with the plug in but there's no mention of the parameters used by docxncolumntable. Is there a way to get a list of the parameters supported by this function in order to adjust the table? Thank you.

Is it possible to perform multiple inserts or updates in the Query Database? I understand that the method using recordTyoe and relation is recommended by Appian, but I am asking this question to achieve exclusive control of updates to multiple tables. I know that this can be accomplished by a procedure, but I would like to know if QueryDatabase can be used as another technique.

I need simple solution for document to binary conversion within appian. As request body I should be able to pass a document into a binary format while calling a REST API POST method. I've followed below links and those are not helpful for me. https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/20675/convert-any-document-to-binary https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/integrations/14913/web-api---send-binary-string-of-document https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/integrations/18923/convert-appian-document-to-base64/75414#75414 https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/general/19821/problems-with-a-binary-document

Hi all, I'm trying to create a generic save process which will take a map list as a parameter that will be converted to different types of record types for a write records MNI node (since I can't do 1 write records for different record types). I want to know if there's a way to iterate through the map and convert it to it's appropriate record type. Better approaches are welcome if you believe this is an anti-pattern. I want to centralise a few a!process saves through this process cause it seems like creating a save process for each screen is overkill.   

Hi, My team is trying to create a chart that warns users when an app is used the most. As soon as the user execute a process, we insert in Database some information (timestamp, typology, current user, etc). To generate the chart we use the following code: a!lineChartField( data: 'recordType!{2e39f6f7-a6b0-43c0-a1f2-39a16ddf112a}PGM interaccionesMotivosYCanales', config: a!lineChartConfig( showIntervalsWithNoData: true, primaryGrouping: a!grouping( field: 'recordType!{2e39f6f7-a6b0-43c0-a1f2-39a16ddf112a}PGM interaccionesMotivosYCanales.fields.{88cbc07e-c205-4ccc-8c3f-9245ea2bfbf1}timeStamp', alias: "timeStamp_hour_primaryGrouping", interval: "HOUR_OF_DAY" ), measures: a!measure( function: "COUNT", field: 'recordType!{2e39f6f7-a6b0-43c0-a1f2-39a16ddf112a}PGM interaccionesMotivosYCanales.fields.{dbcf9179-1efb-4c26-aac4-bc7c25fbded7}id', alias: "id_count_measures", ) ) ) The problem is when we use "HOUR_OF_D

Hello everyone! I need to display 5000 rows of editable rows in the grid - it’s about 2mb of data. First thing I have thought of is to fetch data from database with batches - to set a start index and a batch size and pass it to query entity expression, and then provide that result data subset to editable grid with implemented paging option (clicking back and next will trigger an update to a start index as well as a new batch to be fetched from database) And I’m facing a problem finding an approach to update that data in the database after editing on the form when switching pages. Most probable storing 5k items in a local variable along with other data will cause memory issues while manipulating it for example Is there any approach to achieve a desired goal?
