Hi, I'm a newbie going thru the Acme Exercise tutorial. I'm building the AX New Vehicle process model following the directions.  When I try to Save the process model I get the following error: There was an error in an expression in Process Model Properties at processName: Variable(s) not found: ri!vehicle.  But everything appears to be in place.  I even deleted the input and re-created it.  What am I missing?

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).

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 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
