Hello! My issue is as follows: The app serves the purpose of office desks' management, where desks can be booked by users for periods of time. For this case we have two recordTypes: "Desk" and "Booking", and a foreign key that connects them. The "Book this Desk" record action saves the "bookingNumber" to the Desk recordType, but the data for the booking itself is stored in the "Booking" recordType. One of the requirements is that a priviliged user shall be able to book multiple desks for a group of users. We figured that these priviliged users will create groups through the Create Group Smart Service and therefore the Booking will be assigned to a group. That should work fine for assigning multiple users to one Desk, but is there a way to take action on multiple recordsTypes? In this case, to assign one group of users to multiple "Booking" recordTypes, each of which will in turn be assigned to multiple desks (one "B

Hi! I have a variable number of elements composed of richtext and grid. Previously I used a columnsLayout which allowed me to put 3 elements in a row, but if I have more of them it's not readable. Currently I'm looking for a solution to have a row for every 3 element I have in data. I wanted to use a counter inside a forEach, but it seems that it's not working like in other programming languages. So I would like to know which is an optimal solution to create a layout of variable number of elements.

Hi, Learning Appian RPA from the Appian course. Came along a scenario where I need to modify the Target variable. See screen shot. If you see the annotated area I cannot view the fields of restaurants..just the first few letters of the word restaurant.  in this case, I have 4 fields in the restaurant table so no problem but if I have a huge table and need to select any field from there it will be a difficult job (or I need to see my CDT and figure out my column number of the field and the count and select it in the Target dropdown values (not a good way but that's a workaround)  Can this be fixed. Can the window that shows the fields of restaurant table appear on the left side instead of right so that I can view the complete field name?? I do not know how to put this problem across Appian so raising it here thanks jaideep

Hi, To get a value from a memory CDT list (not a table) on a single field condition, I use Index(CDT, whereContains(value, CDT.field2)). In SQL : SELECT * FROM table WHERE field2 = value Is there any way to do the same thing with Appian fonctions when we need to make a lookup with an AND condition ? Ex : SELECT field1 FROM table WHERE field2 = value AND field3 = value  Otherwise, I would do it with a simple foreach(). (PS : My question, is "not" about how to query a table with multiple logical conditions of queryEntity [emoticon:bfea11b94cc048458ee2c01f963db38d] )

startProcessLink() is not creating another instance (Sub Process Model), but it assigns tasks. My Requirement is, I have a Card/Button which has startProcessLink(), once clicked I started a Process Model which has Form1 with Submit button in it. Once Submit is clicked, that should create/open another Sub Process Model which has another Form2 in it. It navigates to Sub Process Model, but assign the form as a task and re-directing back to my original page (Action Completed). How can I navigate to another Sub Process which has another form.?
