Hello, I am basically looking for something very similar to triggers in databases. In my asset management app, employees have been assigned some assets. Some assets have a returnOn date. I want to send email reminders to every employee (employee user group)u if any of their assets is approaching their return date. Maybe 1 day before the returnOn date. I am aware of the escalations and exceptions in the process model. But I do not need to do anything else just send email reminders. What will be the best approach for this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi, I am new to Low code Platforms. Can Appian be used to create web and mobile apps from scratch?.

Hi All, I am trying to make a task report interface. This is a snippet of my report. Here, I just want to ensure that by default when a user lands to this page, they only see their assigned tasks, and only when they click on  the dropdown they should be able to view other task status in the grid such as "Completed" , "Accepted" and "Not started".Here is the snippet of my code, I tried using the local!statusfilter to be just as "Assigned", but that is not working, for now the value is null. Request some help on this!

I am trying to setup a connected system to an API provided by another client.  They're using OAuth 2.0, but they're expecting the client_id and client_secret in a JSON format, rather than the x-www-form-urlencoded which Appian is sending.  Is there a way to change this configuration somewhere?

Im trying to call an api and im getting this error:  where do i find the integration configuration? thanks

Following normal database best practices we typically store id fields in our main data tables and then link those id fields to reference data tables when we want to display the reference data values (e.g. status values such as 'Received', 'In Progress', 'Pended', 'Abandoned', 'Completed', etc.). With the new record and relationship functionality it is easy to display the textual status values rather than the id value on the record list and record summary. But, if we need to export the data, including the textual values, to a CSV file for ingestion by an MI tool we can't currently export from a record to a csv file programmatically (our export for MI would typically be a scheduled process running once a day, outside of standard business hours). We could create a database view to pull together the data and structure it for the MI extract but the documentation for the Export Data Store Entity to CSV smart service states 'Because database vie

Hi, I am making an Asset Management application. I have a functionality which allows me to create new assets with information such as asset name and asset Id. There is also an ability to add images of the asset in the interface where I have used the a!fileuploadfield which points to a constant which is a folder that stores the images. Here is the code for the same. /*a!fileUploadField(*/ /*label: "Asset Image",*/ /*labelPosition: "ABOVE",*/ /*target: cons!G1_folderAssetImages,*/ /*value: ri!G1_Assets.imageId,*/ /*saveInto: ri!G1_Assets.imageId,*/ /*required: true,*/ /*validations: {}*/ /*),*/ I want to make a summary view (Interface) which shows all the information about the asset along with its image. But as of now I am just able to show the image id. Is there any way I can dsiaplay the image in this new interface?

Hi Everyone, More curiosity about to know more capabilities about Appian compared to other workflow tool. For example, low code...etc features and capabilities. Thanks In Advance

Hi, A situation that arise frequently is that there are several issues open, and two or more of them include same interface, rule or any other kind of appian object. Deveoppers assigned to each issue made necessary changes and usually they coordinate themselves without problem, but in ocassions we deploy untested or unwanted changes to upper environments by mistake. So, I am thinking on a application that help us on get a better control on deployments. This application act as a ongoing package inventory, and should be able to compare contents of each packages in order to warn about objects that were part of mor than one package. To do so, I need a way to programmatically get the content of a package. Does anybody know a way to achieve this? Regards

I am currently using the smart service "MS Word 2007 Doc from Template" to generate a word with a default template and to be able to retrieve the data of a record within a label that can be printed as a sticker. My question is, is there a way that I can generate a word document with N records and when I retrieve that data each record is stored in a separate tag. It would be something like this: Thanks for your help.

I have a Summary view interface with tabs at the bottom that each display another Read-Only Grid interface displaying info from related tables. I need to be able to have the information on those tabs to only show the records related to the parent record being viewed on the summary view.  I know you can set filters at the Read-Only grid level on the individual interfaces, but at that point there is no parent record to reference so it returns an error. Does anyone have a way around this?

Hi Everyone, I am new to Appian and still learning basics. While updating a record, I am getting Data sync error. But if I do manual sync, record is getting updated. What should I do for automatic sync instead of doing it manually after updating a record? I am not using CDTs or DSE.

Hi Appian folks, I was trying to go through Appian documentation and academy for creating a custom function plug-in. I had a question: Trying to import "com.appiancorp.suiteapi.expression.annotations" on IntelliJ for Java class. It is unable to recognize the "com.appiancorp" library. We might need a JAR file for "com.appiancorp" package. I am trying find the JAR file to download but unable to find it. Am I missing anything here? Also, is there any other approach that you could suggest to get the appropriate libraries to create a custom plug-in for Appian via. IntelliJ?
