HI All, Is that possible to access the pp properties of one process into another process? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Anyone know what is the best way to sending an email including all the information from a process start form? thanks

As an example, in Javascript I can do this:var test = {a:1,b:2} test.a = 'changed' console.log(test)and it will output this:{a:"changed",b:2}Because I mutated the value in key 'a' of the test variable.How do I do this in an appian expression?Trying this:a!localVariables( local!test: {a:1,b:2}, local!test["a"]: "changed", local!test ) Gives me this error:Expression evaluation error at function 'localvariables': A variable is incorrectly defined. Parameter: 2. Expected syntax: localvariables(local!a, ..., expr) or localvariables(local!a:10, ..., expr) So it seems you can't changed a key of a variable in an expression. Is there another way to do this? It seems like such an elementary operation...

The guides don't say anywhere how to open IDP.Perhaps it's not installed on our instance and it would be obvious from the main menu.Where does IDP normally appear? In the top right main menu?Are there permissions associated with it?Our system administrator is on vacation and I'm not sure if I just can't find it because I'm learning how to use Appian, or if it's not installed. Thank you.

Hi, We have a simple interface wich contains a refresh button that triggers a a!startProcess() function (to update some fields in Db and then update fields in the GUI).  The interface is displayed from a RecordType view. The process gets some data and then write simply the current datetime into an updated_on field in the table.  The problem we met is when we click on the button, the data are not refreshed (or works just the first time).  When we debug the variables in the interface we can see that the data are still the Old ones despite the fact the data are correct in the Db table.  If we click again and again, the data are never refreshed.  I've tried a lot of things :- add a counter in the interface to ensure the save is called when the process ended - all the process nodes are well chained.  - I've deleted a lot of nodes in the process so that now it contains only 5 nodes (to be sure, to avoid the 50 nodes issues). 

Hi Everyone, Send Email smart service is throwing "Failed to send email" error in the first instance. But when we restart node is working fine. can somebody tell me what the issue is here please.  Thanks in advance

Hello Great People, Can somebody advise me on how to properly position these text such that they are stacked on top of one another? For eg, Emp id, Email and Total Cost should be properly aligned with Description in a straight line;             Name and Requested for should be properly aligned with Phone Number in a straight line one below another Thank You.

Hi there, is there please any function which will return the last letter from a text string. For example if: local!invoice='FY20221227" then the function will return 7. Thanks

Hi All, There is requirement for implementing workflows having Approve and Reject functionality for people belonging to various groups. We have implemented it using Appian Task based feature where in person belonging to specific group can see the list of task that person needs to Approve Or Reject and based on Approve and Reject it moves to next persons bucket. But the issue we are facing is that the task are user input based and the process remains in Active state for long time until and unless the person acts on it. So keeping multiple process Active for long time is causing load on the performance of APPIAN as huge amount of Active task gets piled up. So my query, is this the recommended way for implementing workflows using APPIAN Task based approach. Regards Bihitak

Please let me know if we enable activity chaining on Appian Batch Process (ex: data load, copy files ) whether will that impact system performance?  Also mni is configured in one of the nodes to spawn multiple nodes. Thanks

Hi All, I am invoking a process model from Interface using start process in 'Submit' button. Process model is being invoked while clicking on 'Submit' button, but CDT parameter is always appearing as null. While testing the interface manually I am getting CDT values in process model. While invoking the interface from site CDT values are empty. Please help on it and below are the screenshots for your reference. Interface code: a!columnLayout( contents: { a!buttonArrayLayout( buttons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Submit", saveInto: a!startProcess( processModel: cons!CU_Interview_Process_Model_Constant, processParameters: { Cu_Interview: ri!Cu_Interview, test: " ABCD " }, onSuccess: null, onError: null ), submit: true, style: "PRIMARY" ) }, align: "START" ) Process Model: Process Model Variables:  Process model is being invoked but CDT variable is empty. Modify Variable is not appearing for CDT . While testing

First let me start this off with some good news.  The left-hand object bar has been further tweaked and reorganized.  I previously commented that "process model / interface search results" being at the top of the list (as they are in 22.3 and lower) makes it harder to access the Smart Service Nodes we're after when that's what we're actually searching for.  It looks like they listened! Yay! But for the main point of this post: i've noticed that Grid Lines are now turned off by default and there is no way to undo this except by turning them on manually every single time you load a process model. At first I was hoping this was a bug in my Community Edition instance, or some incomplete feature or temporary break.  But other users are now posting screenshots from 22.4 versions around community and it seems like it may have been "intentional". Hey Appian folks?  This may have been intended to "look cleaner" or something
