Hi,In A Bar Chart, Can we display Tooltip value in for example in 1D 1H 1M 1S. Suppose we are getting data in floating 176.5439, and we need to display in 176D 13H 3M 13S. I have converted the value, but a!chartSeries says a!chartSeries accepts only Number (Floating Point) data (List of Number (Floating Point)): Array of decimal data values to display in a chart.

I am re building the Dev training app and this is only thing I cannot get to work from the training guidance and I am not sure why.  I have rebuilt up to step 13 and every thing else and other tips have worked.  On the add Vehicle form. a tip is "TIP: Use the Visibility Setting to Conditionally Show Interface Components ● In some cases, you might want to display a component based on a condition. ● To do this, use the Visibility setting in the Component Configuration pane. Select Only Show When and enter an expression in the Expression Editor. ● For example, imagine that you want to display a Comments field if a vehicle’s mileage is above 150,000 miles. You can enter the expression ri!vehicle[recordType!AX Vehicle.fields.vehicleMileage] > 150000. ● This expression determines whether the Comments component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and not evaluated. The default is set to true." I have the following in How

Hallo community, we set up a "on-prem" Appian instance (actually on AWS) to develop and test custom plugins (especially components). General setup is OK, also instance is successfully registered as dev instance. Since it is just an internally used dev instance, we decided to use something like appian.###.internal.###.com to access Appian (left it on port 8080 for the sake of simplicity) Static/dynamic URLs follow the same principle: appian-dynamic.###.internal.###.com appian-static.###.internal.###.com Additionally we set the parameter conf.suite.DISABLE_STRICT_DOMAIN_SECURITY=true Unfortunately we have difficulties with the configuration of static and dynamic content URLs, so self developed components are not working properly. Reading through documentation (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.4/Post-Install_Configurations.html) and other posts (https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/13390/static-and-dynamic-content-url) it is clearly stated to use 3 un

This is an issue that was initially reported on a Site and I could not replicate it when testing in any browser, until I thought to test on a separate monitor (not my laptop screen). When testing on the monitor was able to replicate in Chrome & Edge through the Site, through the top-level parent interface, and through the interface that contained the dropdown (although for the customers instead of a refresh, it was causing the entire page to turn grey). Can only replicate the issue on my laptop screen through the interface, not through the Site. I have reached a resolution for the issue (updating/deleting rows in the database or logic on local!choices to replace nulls with "Unknown") but sharing since I was not able to find anything when I had searched online. Believe the issue was caused by a user deleting some of the data for a couple rows before using the "Delete" icon/button that had been set up. The case was the query pulling in the data did not have a

Hi Guys, Our client checking the node timings for each step in the process in that time we noticed the simple expression rule took around 1 to 1.5 seconds, however the same rule checked in direct expression rule it took only 1ms.

Hi All, Our customer wants a functionality in Appian where let's say they took screenshot or snipped an image from anywhere and they should be able to paste into Appian without saving it to folder in their computers. basically they do not want to use File upload field which source a documents saved in the computer instead just snip an image and paste into Appian. Is something like this is possible or exists in Appian? Thanks

Recently I tried to configure Appian on Kubernetes for desktop development but was informed that I needed to have a license for Self Managed accounts. This is confusing to me as I have been able to download versions of Appian since 2018 and install on local servers with no issues, licenses have been granted every time I make the request. In my opinion, these downloads and installations are self managed as Appian surely does not maintain the servers I have my installations hosted on. Can anyone help me understand the difference between the ability to download and install (what I call on premise) Appian environments and what are called Self Managed environments? It really makes zero sense to me and hoping someone can shed some light on this. Apologies if this is duplicated anywhere, didn't really see anything directly related.
