I have created a RPA process to log into a software on our internal network and take screenshots of a machines status and then sends those screenshots to a user outside of the network.  The bot is running unattended on a Virtual Machine.  When I have the remote desktop open, the screenshots take the image of the entire screen.  However, when I allow the bot to run unattended the screen resolution is too small to capture the whole screen (see attached images as examples).  The virtual machine is managed via VMware. Does anyone know how to increase the screen resolution of the bot on the unattended Virtual Machine?

Hi We have a data sync enabled Record which uses Database Table as a source. When any data gets updated in the legacy system, We need to sync the updated data in our record. To sync the changed record, in Appian documentation they have suggested to create a web api which includes a!syncRecords() function.1. I wanted know by using a!syncRecords() whether API can sync the changed data by itself? if so, how it will typecast the data into Appian structure?2. If it is not possible, how we can get the updated data and sync the record ? Thanks

Hi Guys. Im trying to make a function where the string contains half-width and full-width spaces, the first and last spaces will be removed. When i used the trim() function in appian it only trim(beginning and trail) half width spaces but if the spaces are full width it will not trim. so i tried to trim and use the substitute function like this: trim(substitute(ri!value,"　"," " )).  It does trim the value perfectly, but it will also substitute the spaces in between the value where it shouldnt be. Example process: "<full-wdith spaces>he<full-wdith spaces>ll<full-wdith spaces>" after executing the process: trim(substitute(ri!value,"　"," " )) result: "he<half wdith space>ll" expected output should be : "he<full-wdith spaces>ll" Do you have any other idea to perform the desired process? Thank You guys [emoticon:2e0881b394ea47039c4b7e5eed46a79e]

Hello All, I need to open an Interface after submit information on a Interface. Can someone help me to achieve this? I have a process model that has a interface as a "StartForm" when the user click on submit, we have some logic to write into DB and other stuff, at the end we need to display to the user an interface with the information successfully added (kind of summary of the process), I tried to use a subprocess with the interface as "StartForm", but this is not displaying anything.  What configuration I'm missing? Also tried chaining the nodes but doesn't work.  NOTE: I DON'T NEED TO CREATE A TASK FOR THIS PURPOSE, THAT'S THE REASON WHY I"M NOT USING THE "USER TASK".

Hi, I have a process model like below I have the data in each of the variable like below. Name                    Type          Multiple     Value --------------------    ----------        ----------     ------------ listOfSubmitters    Text           Yes           [addedby:AA1234]; [addedby:AA1235]; [addedby:AA1236] I need the value of each "addedby". When I am trying to make a loop and get each addedby like below. I am NOT getting required output.  a!localVariables(local!lst: a!forEach(pv!listOfSubmitters,property(fv!item, "addedby", null)),local!lst[pv!totalCountOfSubmitters]) Please advise if I have to declare the process variable with any other type instead of "Text". Or, let me know if anything wrong in a

error is : ???An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Change the alias to a valid name.???  I have an excel with 4 columns  Column names are same. I don't understand the error. File name I am passing as process variable. Number of columns to be read is 4 as i have 4 columns in file. Table name is my datatype name and data source is jdbc/mydatabase. What am I missing? 

We have a strict 30 minute session timeout policy, and want to show a countdown on our interfaces (dashboards and forms) warning users how much time they have left. While we can have a 30 minute timeout from load, this isn't accurate because they may keep the session active by navigating or interacting with SAIL components. Is there a way (out-of-the-box, plugin, or API) to show the user how much time they actually have left in their active session / how long since they have been active? Thanks!

Please help me check if the given number is between 1 & 20 digits and doesn't contain any alphabet in it. Like we have like(fv!item,"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]") to check the given number should be exactly 10 digits and no alphabets in it.

While using a!recordActionItem() to open a pop-up, there is no close option which is by default by Appian to close the dialog box? What can be the solution?

Hi, I am facing a strange issue.. pls let me know if you can see where the problem is or if you need more data to answer this feature is - when an user deletes a record in a table (noc_area) - I am trying to capture the details of noc_area to another table noc_area_audit + 3 more fields. I am triggering this inside the delete function at saveInto rule inputs are areaaudit and record areaaudit is CDT  record is CDT so when the user is deleting a record.. I am capturing the  1) areas (text) from record and passing it to areas (text) of areaaudit 2) areavalue (integer) from record and passing it to areavalue (integer) of areaaudit 3) areacomment (text) from record and passing it to areacomment (text) of areaaudit ------->>>>>>> not happening and some hardcoded and system generated values to the remaining fields of areaaudit.  When I delete a specific record all values are getting successfully populated except for areacomment. It is space

I have two interfaces and want to switch between them but my process variable doesn't interact. when I click the "Edit Mode" button in the interface, the process variable doesn't change and the process stays in view mode.

Hi, We have a requirement to fetch some records for a particular filter (service name from DB) and show it on the grid to the user. The issue is we have a large number of records in DB, which are more than 20+ lakhs and goes on increasing. While fetching the data from table I am facing the memory threshold error. I am using batch size as (1,-1), because I need to show all the data in the grid. so, My question is how many records Appian can handle & how many records can be fetched at a time. NOTE: i am not using Record Type, directly fetching it from DB Also can we query more than 20 lakhs record from a record type, 

Zuuup, people ? So, I've created a releated action and added it to a interface. All following the usual, nothing exceptional. However (of course, otherwise this post wouldn't be necessary), the follwing message poped up when I tryied to click on it. I reviewed security settings for this action and releated items to it. All looks ok. Any suggestions ?

Hi everyone, For audit purposes in a ticket management process, I need to track create/update/delete actions on a Ticket (record type) each time it has been opened the relative interface and track timing (basically: startEvent, endEvent). I already track the interface initial loaded date/time in a local variable using now(), but how to pass it to a rule input (and therefore use it in the create/update process)? I think I have to use a!save in the primary button, but I am missing low-code details. Do you have any suggestion?Thank you so much,

Hi, We are going to use OAuth2 for a customer and reading the Appian doc, I can see this : - "OAuth 2.0: Client Credentials Grant" : is used when access is being requested on behalf of an application,  - "OAuth 2.0: Authorization Code Grant" : is used when access is being requested on behalf of a user, - "OAuth 2.0: SAML Assertion flow" :  used with SAML... Could you explain me the main differences between each of them please ?  (with possibly examples [emoticon:0f36700dfeb3494fa10d47dd9e1f90a1]) Regards

Hello everyone, I need to integrate my appian app with DocuSign. So I created connected system using DocuSign type. Then I created integration to this connected system using "Create and Send Envelope" operation to create a draft envelope with recipients with defined order. It works fine - but subsequently I need to implement multi-factor recipient authentication -> require phone authentication for my signers. Checking DocuSign documentation I can see that I need to add "identityVerification" part in envelope definition that is sent in POST method. The "identityVerification" part requires workflowId parameter. The question is: How to get this workflowId parameter using Appian?The docusign documentation says that to obtain my workflow ID I need to make a request to the identity_verification endpoint on the Accounts resource of the eSignature REST API using your {API_ACCOUNT_ID} to retrieve the workflow ID.
