Hi I just finished the ACME Automobile App, and I would like to start building the Acme IT Management (AIM) but i can't find the application in the Appian Designer community edition 

Does anyone know why this Health Check Playbook article is not accessible? Has it been moved to another page? Was it decommissioned? Is there a link out there to a newer article? 

Hi guys, we have the requirement to start an Appian process via API from an external system and redirect the user to the url of the first task of that process. I tried to achieve this in the following way. We created a process model and activity-chained the first user input task with the start node. Then we created a POST api and start the process with a!startProcess and we valued the onSuccess parameter of that rule like this: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 200, headers: { a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json") }, body: a!toJson({ taskUrl: a!urlfortask( index(rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid( pid: index(index(fv!processInfo, "pp", null), "id", null) ), "taskId", null) ) }) ) where rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid is a rule that, given a process id, retrieves the id of the active task of the process in the taskId component using a task report and query analytics. Unfortunately we noticed that sometimes this fail

Does anybody know any Organization who develop Products using Appian? Please let me know. Thanks, Sarat Tumu

So I have this code that works when I test the interface, but when the test values are empty it displays this: I want to still display the interface while the index List is empty. I tried a few things but so far nothing has worked. Here's the text field's code: a!textField( label: "Program", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: index(local!program[ri!tpsRequest['recordType!{63733d83-c1fa-4244-bcca-b0ddcccccbf4}DS_TPS.fields.{dbc3f6e3-0ead-4aec-969e-561c93c12055}programID']], 'recordType!{0ad1112a-64a6-465e-99da-48e839d78914}APR Program.fields.{64faa577-dd6f-4073-902d-57142bb77458}name'), align: "LEFT", readonly: true, ), And here's the entirety of the code: { a!sectionLayout( contents: rule!ACE_SCT_DynamicBreadCrumbTrail(isInterfaceDark: false, recordName: cons!ASK_TEXT_LABEL_REQUEST), divider: "BELOW" ), rule!ASK_SCT_RequestDetails(request: ri!request), a!sectionLay

Hi,  I have a read only grid, which has various filters. For one of my filter, I have the different stages (New, In progress, Done). When the grid is viewed from the front end, I want to initially filter out the stage ( Done) and show the remaining stages. In that case, when a user want to see the "Done" records, they can cancel out the filter. Can someone help here. 

I have 120 rows in array but i want to loop only first 100 rows using foreach function. Please advise.

I just want to understand why list of records(0 items) is not returning null/true in below scenarios. I have problem returning the List of Empty Records to be empty/null. Any thoughts?? We always practiced using null vs 0 vs "" vs {} depending on the type of data. However here {} for set of array records is not working to identify as null. Of course same behavior with CDT's as well.

Hi, Scenario: In one of the integrations, the output will be in XML format and in that XML output there will be encoded PDF under a tag< DOCUMENT>. How to read that encoded PDF file and how to convert that into a PDF. Thanks & Regards, Shaik Gousiya.

Hi, I am new to Appian and I am trying using a rule object as grid data source. but getting below error  Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!gridField [line 2]: A grid component [label="Read-only Grid"] has an invalid value for "columns". A grid column [label="Vehicleid"] has encountered an error. Expression evaluation error: AX TestVehicle can only be indexed into using square brackets or the index function This is written in the interface  { a!gridField( label: "Read-only Grid", labelPosition: "ABOVE", data: rule!AX_SearchVehicles(), columns: { a!gridColumn( label: "Vehicleid", sortField: "vehicleid", value: fv!row.vehicleid ), a!gridColumn( label: "Vehiclemake", sortField: "vehiclemake", value: fv!row.vehiclemake ), a!gridColumn( label: "Vehiclemodel", sortField: "vehiclemodel", value: fv!row.

while click on submit button, calling the integration call. If any error is occured then we should display the error message on the top of page. I have displayed the message on top of the page. But focus is in bottom of the page. Is there any way to scroll to top of the page or set the focus to top of the page automatically.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with a process model that receives incoming emails that contain certified emails as attachments, with an internal nesting degree usually greater than 3 (therefore at least 3 emails attached inside the attachment of the email sent to the process). With these types of attachments, the email sent to the process never reaches the received message node which I used to activate the process. If I then send an uncertified email, the node receives the email and the process is activated normally.  I attach a screenshot of the input node configuration, with the public event flagged. Has anyone had the same problem?

Hi Team,we are moving away from legacy (Base64 Auth) and move to SAML authentication and once the migration is completed we have to ensure MFA is working through our IdP (Azure) and ensure that anyone authenticating to the system has MFA enabled.Can you please guide me through the exact steps to implement this process. Please let me know if any further information is required

How to read data from sharepoint list to appian?Could you please suggest is there any functions or plugins or smart services?

Hi Team, Does SAML protect cross site request forgery token attack? A CSRF token is a unique, secret, and unpredictable value that is generated by the server-side application and shared with the client. When issuing a request to perform a sensitive action, such as submitting a form, the client must include the correct CSRF token. Otherwise, the server will refuse to perform the requested action. Please let me know if any further information is required

Hi everyone, i've got a problem with email sent to a process model with multiple nested .msg attachment. I want to extract the last nested email attached to the incoming email, but the received message node doesn't process the .msg file. it simply download all the other files (pdf, .xml...) without reading any information of this series of the nested .msg attached emails. I've used the striphtml(msg!properties.Attachments) function in the received message node configured to receive incoming email, as shown in the pitcure below. I don't use the read msg plug-in because i have to download the .msg file as attachment from the incoming email, so it's useless for my process.  Thank you all

Hi, When I try to add date using Today() ,value is saving into the database properly (Refer to the below attached screen shot) Whereas when I try to load into the grid using RecordType, it was showing like below. Any advises on this please.

Hi, I am trying to substitute few characters from input string and store/display in the rule input variable (i.e. target). SAIL:  a!localVariables( { a!buttonArrayLayout( buttons: a!buttonWidget( label: "Add", value: "Add", saveInto: a!save(ri!target,"2323432345,2343234543,4433443323") ) ), a!forEach( items: ri!target, expression: a!paragraphField( label: "Target", labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", value: substitute(fv!item, ",", char(10)), saveInto: a!save(fv!item,substitute(fv!item, ",", char(10))), required: true, refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", ) ) }) In the image above I have used substitute( ) function to replace all comma ( , ) character with char(10) but as you can see the display value is converted to desired format where as the data stored in rule input remains the same (comma separated). Please help me convert the data :  From :  2323432345,2343234543,4433443323 To :  23
