Privacy error while clicking on the Appian login link: Receiving the below screenshot error while hitting the Appian login basic link. After clicking on the login url we are receiving "Your connection is not private" error (full error message is as per the below screenshot).  We are always made to click on the "Advanced" option and then only the login page showing username and password appears. Please suggest how to avoid this privacy error everytime and how to go directly to the login page.

Hello: I am trying to learn interfaces to create a single-page application.  I am using the Navigation (subsection) as the starting component (first image).  However, I would like to customize the interface so that when the cursor is hovering over an option, the text and background color changes.  As per the current configuration, the option (when a cursor is hovering) has a border but the text color is blue (option: Expenses in image one).  I would like to make it seem like the user-interface used in the Appian documentation page (second image).  Cursor is hovering on MODEL RECORD DATA.  I assume the collapsible feature is implemented using a!section.  Two questions: 1.  Is there an attribute or function that controls the color of the text/background when a cursor hovers?  2.  Is a!cardLayout (other than header/billboardlayout) the only component that provides ability to control the background - noticed that a!

Hello, We have a requirement to share the document stored in the Knowledge center with the ASP.net application. Please see the use case below: When we create a document in the Knowledge Center, we store the Appian document ID in our database. We are wondering how we can successfully display these documents on the external site built on the ASP.net framework. Please let us know the step-by-step process and whether any authentication is needed to access these documents based on the document ID in the Appian environment."

Hello guys,We're dealing it some issue on attempting this:Right now with find() function or exact() you can't achieve the following:Let's say we have an e-mail with this phrase "I am an idealist", and on the other hand we have a key defined as: "ideal", right now because the body considers all the text, if you try with find(), the output is true because it finds "ideal" on "I am an [ideal]ist", and the exact() will not work as well because "I am an idealist" is not the same as "ideal", even if the key was "idealist" it will output false as well. Any ideas?

I got this from the Health Check Report: DSGN-0009 Appian Design # of objects with no admin group Medium 83 83 objects do not have an admin group defined. All objects should have an admin group explicitly defined or inherited from a parent container. Is there any fast way to identify which objects do not have an admin group defined? I hope I don't have to go one by one because I have thousands of objects.Thank you so much!

We are using a cardLayouts as a stack of buttons for actions the user must take before submitting the form.  The cardLayout has a label informing the user the type of action to perform and a status indicator to show the user visually whether the task is complete.  When you click the cardLayout, it displays a subpanel of information is displayed for the user to perform the needed task. Ultimately, we may have 7 – 10 of these cardLayouts stacked on the page.  This design allows users to see only what they want to see when they want to see it.  It also, helps them know when all steps are completed.  We feel that this is a very appealing UI design.   We are facing a challenge meeting WCAG requirements for this design.  Specifically, Criterion 4.1.2 which requires the following: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: For all user interface components (including but not limited to: form elements, links and components generated by scripts), the

Hi, We are having a editable grid where the columns are relation, soeid, geid, firstname, lastname. Relation is a dropdown field with the values {employee, contractor, client}. Soeid is a user picker field and the remaining columns are text fields. If user select employee or contractor in the dropdown and he should select soeid then the remaining columns will autopopulate related to the soeid. If user select client then the soeid and geid get disabled(grayed out) and he needs to fill all the other columns. My task is here 1. when the user first select employee and enter a soeid then the other columns will populate. 2. if the user select client again in the dropdown the soeid, geid, firstname, lastname which was already populated  should become blank. How to achieve the above functionality Thanks in advance.

First Create Function To Calculate Sum called : Calculate_Sum a!localVariables( if( ri!monthName null, sum( todecimal(index(ri!months, { ri!monthName }, 0)) ), sum( todecimal(ri!months.jan, 0), todecimal(ri!months.feb, 0), todecimal(ri!months.mar, 0), todecimal(ri!months.apr, 0), todecimal(ri!months.may, 0), todecimal(ri!months.june, 0), todecimal(ri!months.july, 0), todecimal(ri!months.aug, 0), todecimal(ri!months.sep, 0), todecimal(ri!months.oct, 0), todecimal(ri!months.nov, 0), todecimal(ri!months.dec, 0) ) ) ) Now Create Form in Grid to calculate and call the sum function: a!localVariables( local!invalidIncome: ("Please insert valid income value."), local!DuplicateIncome: ( "Duplicate value. Please check and delete if duplicated" ), local!CurrentRow: 0, local!TotalRow: 0, local!monthDetail: a!map( jan: null, feb: null, ma

Hello, I have a problem in process model when trying to send email. I needed to implement functionality as follows:  User needs to be on interface and enter email in textbox on which he wants to send email. After he clicks on the button email with document should be sent. User should then get information if email was sent or not on interface. For this I am using a!startProcess function on interface to start process model to send email. I have configured output message with all nodes having activity chaining at the end of the process model.  Message is returned when email is successfully sent, but when email that user enters does not exist I have a problem. In many cases, process will break on send e-mail node if user enters email that does not exist.  For instance I enter email ttestttttteee@gmail.com and process will break. But, if I enter email ttestttttteee@gmail.comm process model will continue and email will be sent. The problem is in email text after @ sign.

Hi Appian pals, Please let me know the Links and docs to create a basic plug-in and how to add to App Market Thanks

hello everyone, I created a form action that allows me to insert records into a record list I created. I have modified some fields in the insert form so that they are automatically filled with automatically calculated values; I noticed that the moment I submit , the inserted record has the said fields empty, would you know how this can happen? I made sure that the data types entered are equal to the type declared in each field of the record list, so I am sure I did not accidentally enter a text type inside an integer :) . For more info I attach the error, and an example code of a modified field : ERROR: Problem:  An error occurred in executing an Activity Class. Details:  Each item within the input "Records" must be a record data type. Received: LBOWI - RegistroFirme. Recommended Action:  Examine the activity class to correct the error and then resume. Priority of this problem: High Priority CODE: a!localVariables( local!value : now(),

Hi reader! I configured an post API (whose purpose is to write in database from outside Appian) which works well when I test it inside Appian. When I try to invoke the API outside Appian (that is through PostMan), it throws Error 500 - Internal Server Error. I have used basic authentication in PostMan Authentication. The user possessing this credential, is being made as the Administrator of API, data store and other required objects. 

Any suggestions around it: I have requirement where user want to edit a column in editable grid and that column should be pickerfield. I have a table to store existing data and pulling from it on grid. For picker data, i have a reference table that pulls all the populating data as needed. I am getting an error while i try to remove the existing column data and fetch new data. I tried different ways to define this but somehow ended up facing different issue for each attempt. ONE ATTEMP: Below code is one way of my attempts!! TWO ATTEMPT: This is working fine if I do something like below but is not appropriate for business use case:  local!existingdata:  Record type uuid: 5bf7f7cb-2b7c-430f-93b1-102a13b4f3af from error is the Record that pulls existing data.

Hi All, Multiplying the below values by product function and expecting to return output as 16956.0843 but it is returning the output as 16956.08.  product(16746.75 * 1.0125) Regards,Sandeep

I was making a query today in which I wanted to find entries based on a particular field and if that field happens to be null, I want all the entries that have that field null. I ended up with 2 filters, one that looks for entries when the value is not null, and one that looks for entries when the value is null. It works and all, but the thing is there's a parameter called ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues that is usually true by default. But you can make it false and now instead of ignoring those filters with empty values, it gives an error for each filter with empty values. My question is why does this parameter even exist if all turning it off does is cause an error on null values? Wouldn't it make more sense to search for null values instead?
