In my application, I am trying to associate the same document with different Activity IDs. However, when I go to the documents section, I get this error, which seems to indicate that it is impossible to manage the same document ID on different activities. However, the relationship is 1 document, many activities. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I would like to implement a function in Appian that retrieves a list of actions associated with a record. I have been testing multiple approaches and configurations in an attempt to achieve this functionality; however, none of them have produced the expected results so far. Despite extensive testing and exploration of different alternatives, I have not yet been able to successfully obtain the desired list of record actions.

Hi, I made a clumsy error along the way and now I want to reset my workspace and delete everything to date. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Haleigh

Hi Team, I am using a record-based grid to display data. But unless search button is clicked, data does not get loaded to grid. Thanks, Kavya

Hi everyone, We are planning to connect Appian to an on-premises SQL Server environment. Due to security and network restrictions, Appian developers do not have direct access to the on-premises SQL Server. As a result, we are unable to directly inspect table structures or view data stored in the database during development. To support smoother development, investigation, and testing activities, we are exploring whether it is possible to view and reference on-premises SQL Server data from Appian. Specifically, we would like to understand the following: Is it possible to synchronize or replicate data from an on-premises SQL Server to the Appian Cloud Database? If so, is there a way to browse and inspect table data using a GUI similar to the Appian Cloud Database? Thank you in advance for your help. Hatsune

Thanks in Advance.

I am new to Appian and I'm creating a form interface to save data to the database. I've gone through several of the tutorials and I created an Interface and a Process Model that will save data to the database. However, it only works when I launch it from the Process Model. How do I launch it from the Interface by clicking on the Submit button?  I want to click Submit after filling out the Interface and have it fire up the process model to save to the database. 

i am Doing the Application Building Blocks Course and i cant finish the Hands on Practice because the PDF "cannot be viewed in this browser" and when i click on it when i try with different Browsers it also not work (chrome, opera, firefox) same issueI think it happens with all those pdfs but this time it was with Step 4

I need to call a stored procedure that takes a lot to complete (around 6min) and it does not return anything. It could be called in a async way that it would not matter.  Having said that, can I just use the timeout field to give it a short value (one second) being sure that in the DB, the SP will complete even if my Process model completes?Cheers

I am loading data from an Excel sheet into an Editable Grid. I added Edit and Delete buttons for each row, but the actions are not functioning as expected. Could someone guide me on how to fix this or share the correct approach?

Hi everyone, While following the Appian Developer course, I noticed that multiple PDFs for the Step-by-Step exercises (for example, Build an Application: Step 2) cannot be opened. They seem corrupted or possibly outdated for the current version. I’ve tried downloading them again and opening in different viewers, but the issue persists.Is there an updated version of these documents or an alternative resource for these exercises? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Current Situation:We have two applications hosted on Appian and have configured session timeout settings. When there was only one application, after the session timeout, a popup appeared, and upon resuming, we were redirected back to that application’s page.Now that we have two applications with the same timeout configuration in the Admin Console, the behavior has changed. After the session timeout message appears and we resume the second application’s UI, the system redirects us to the first application’s interface instead. Question:Why is this happening, and what can we do to ensure that after refreshing post-timeout, the user is redirected back to the second application’s UI?

Hi , I am building a document upload form after uploading the document it should be populating in the gridfield with the link format where user can download the lfile. but that field is coming as empty.  This is my code. The documentId field is  text now, we don't have access to edit it now . can changing the datatype will fix the issue or is there anything  elseI have to look into?  a!localVariables( local!documentId: null, local!category: null, local!comment: null, local!showUploadSection: false(), local!npdoDocumentList: ri!npdoDocument, a!formLayout( contents: { a!sectionLayout( contents: { a!boxLayout( label: "Supporting Documents", contents: { a!gridField( data: local!npdoDocumentList, columns: { a!gridColumn( label: "Title", value: a!linkField(

My use case is: I receive a dynamic Excel file from the user each time, with changing column names, different sheet numbers, and a large amount of data. I need to insert this data into the database and display it in the interface. I tried Excel-to-DB, but it doesn’t work dynamically. I also tried using AI to extract data from Excel, but I’m not able to extract all sheets dynamically. What should I try?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to create a nested ordered list in the following format: However, I’m facing two issues. Issue 1: styledTextEditorField flattens the nested list formatting Instead of rendering a proper second-level indentation, the styledTextEditorField flattens it into something like: Here is the HTML I’m using: <ol start="2">    <li>        <ol type="a">            <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</li>             <li>Praesent ac lorem non risus gravida accumsan.</li>         </ol>     </li></ol> It seems the component does not support nested <ol> indentation. Is there any workaround to make the nested list (“a.”, “b.”) render correctly inside styledTextEditorField? Issue 2: When generati

Hi folks, As part of our requirement, we need to generate a letterhead in PDF format. The PDF should include the following: Header with the company logo and details — essentially two images: • Left: address & UEN • Right: company logo Standard document content with some dynamic fields (e.g., name, email address, reference numbers). A data table containing business information. The number of rows is dynamic (i.e., the table may have 1, 2, or n rows). I’ve been exploring smart services that can generate a PDF with all these elements — images (for the header), dynamic text fields, and dynamic table rows. From my research, these two smart services from the Dynamic Document Generator Plug-in seem relevant: HTML to PDF XSL-FO to PDF However, from what I understand, HTML to PDF may not fully support images (I’m not entirely sure, this seems to be a gray area). And I’m not very familiar with how to use XSL-FO for this type of transforma

Hi Everyone, As I couldn't find any documentation on SMT compatibility, can anyone confirm whether the Script Management tool is compatible with Microsoft SQL Server? We are planning to enable it in our environment.

Send Message Event: In the Setup tab, for 'Message Destination', select the Receive Message Event that is in the Process Model where you need to send the message. To do this, search for the process model and select your Receive Message Event. In Data tab, 'DestinationProcessID' is the ID of the process instance of the Process Model to which you need to send the message. Click on "New Mapping" and name it. Configure the 'type' based on your need. The 'value' should be your process variable which holds the message(data) to be sent. Receive Message Event: In the Setup tab, for 'Receive Message', select 'Process to Process'. In Data tab, click on 'Import Custom Properties', search for the Process Model where you have the Send Message Event, and select your Send Message Event. 'Value' will be automatically set. Then store it in the desired process variable. My Use Case: In Process Model A, I call an i

In the Test environment, suppose a constant named PV_TXT_TEST already exists. Now, if I create a new constant in the development environment with the same name (PV_TXT_TEST) and deploy it to the Test environment, what will actually happen during deployment? Will Appian throw an error saying that the constant already exists, or will it overwrite the existing one? This scenario came up in one of my interviews. In my current project, I don’t have permission to deploy to the Test environment, so I wanted to understand what the actual behavior would be.”

Hello, I’m currently using the free Appian Community Edition. After being inactive for ~1 month, I logged back in and my environment has been stuck on “Workspace Pending” for the past 24 hours. Is this normal, and how much longer should I expect before I can access my workspace again? Any guidance would be appreciated.
