Hi, I am working on a end-user interface that allows users to add "properties" to different "content type" objects from the front-end, without requiring a developer to go into the back end, create a new table & corresponding joins, update the CDT & relevant objects, & then finally push an update to production. As part of this, I am wondering if it's possible for users to connect to existing tables & record types. The ideal interface would allow users to directly select which record type they want to connect to from the front end. Is there a way to access or store the UUID or name for all record types in an environment?

I have one interface with few questions on it, i want to set the timer as if user not completing this form in particular time period  it will get auto submitted or else he can attempt all the questions and submit the form in time on clicking submit button. or without clicking on submit button how can we submit the form after particular time. Thanks in Advance.

Hi All, what are the possible ways to get our appian certification extended . 

Hi all, Here are my needs: I have a grid of records with checkboxes and a button. I woud like to delete selected records and refresh the grid. Deletion works good. Refresh does not work. I read alreqy these 3 posts with problems similas to mine,  without finding a solution: https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/data/25926/how-to-refresh-a-recordtype-after-the-end-of-a-process https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/data/25694/record-refresh-after-record-action https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/new-to-appian/25654/page-refresh-or-redirect-on-after-button-press/100298#100298 What i did so far is to create a read only grid. Data are retriven from a recordType, relying directly from the DS.  Clicking on checkboxes stores record ids on a local variable. The button invokes a PM who does other operations before deleting checked records from DS. All branches in PM are chained up to the delete step. here the button: a!buttonWidget( label: "Del

Hi all I'm facing a problem when I try run this code: a!richTextDisplayField( labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", value: { a!richTextItem( text: { hour(ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.LeavingTime - ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.StartTime), " hours", if( hour(ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.LeavingTime - ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.StartTime) = "8", " Working hours are complete", if( and(8 > hour(ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.LeavingTime - ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.StartTime) > 0), " Working hours are not complete", if( hour(ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.LeavingTime - ri!ES_Working_Hours_Record.StartTime) = 0, " insert working hours correctly please", " working hours passed limit" ) ) ) }, size: "STANDARD", style: { "STRONG" } ) } ) }, I got this message: Error Evaluating UI Expression Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = ] in rule 'es_working_hours_record2' at function 'hour' [line 33

I am using modern records/Sync records to create related actions. I have around 20+ related actions i need to define for an Interface. I have to pass the most common parameter for all 20 of them. Example: I need to pass Case information into each related action, i am using a!queryRecordType to pass this info. I am passing this 20 times for each 20 RA as mentioned, i am not happy with using it multiple times. I can create an expression rule for it alone and pass it; still it being called 20 times. Is there a better approach to achieve it in single call and passing along to the remaining RAs???? case:a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!{092e25cb-d859-498e-810c-ede1a27152dd}FAS Manage Case', fields: 'recordType!{092e25cb-d859-498e-810c-ede1a27152dd}FAS Manage Case.fields.{c59a2f56-2d82-405b-8012-f24f371ae9ab}id', filters: a!queryFilter( field: 'recordType!{092e25cb-d859-498e-810c-ede1a27152dd}FAS Manage Case.fields.{c59a2f56-2d82-405b-8012-f24f371ae9ab}id',

Hi,I am using record data ( a!recordData() ) in "data" parameter of the read only grid and I am not able to make the paging dynamic ( should fetch the data/rows from the Record according to the batch size not the whole data), because of this the grid taking too much time to change the paging from one batch to another ( here in the below code pageSize: 10 ). Expected Outcome: Data should be fetched according to the batch size from the record not the whole data and User Filters must also work with the dynamic paging.Thank You.

Hi Everyone I want to create a Search box to search for Issue IDs in my Record Type. I found all the Info's on how to do it here: Search and Filter the Record List - Appian 22.3But my problem is, that I just can create User Filters, but don't have the option to create search boxes. When I'm on my Record Type, I just see User Filters. Which is not ideal to filter for Issue IDs, because there are a lot. And, if you believe the manual (Search and Filter the Record List - Appian 22.3) , Search Boxes would be better, because they don't load the data directly, but you can search for it after loading the site.  Does this relate to maybe an old Appian Version that I am note able to see Search and User Filter but just User Filters? Or do I have to "activate" the Search option on Record Types somewhere else?  Thanks in advance for your help and kind regards,  Pascale 

Hello Everyone, I am creating a Web API (GET method) and am using a!queryprocessAnalytics to get some values from a report. One of the column in the report is Asignee and the type/Formatting for this column is 'User or Group Name'. When i test the request i am getting a valid result but with either Group Id or username. I want to first know if the value is User or Group then convert it into First Name, Last name for User or Group name for Group. I tried using find("[",cast(3,value),0) to know if the value is user or group but after knowing i am not able to convert the value to First Name, Last name for User or Group name for Group. Please help me to find a solution for this. Thank you
