Q. There are 2 record types, ABC and XYZ, which sync enabled. The XYZ record type is added as a relationship into the ABC record type. A user has Viewer permission to the ABC record type but does not have access to the XYZ record type. A site page is represented to the user where the data is sourced from the ABC record type and its related record type the XYZ reference. What information does the user see on the site page? Page is presented to the user and the data reference to the XYZ record type appear as “null”  Page is presented to the user with the XYZ record type data and field references redacted. Page does not load, and an error message is presented: “The record type [identifier=XYZ] does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have sufficient privileges to access the data.”

Hi Appian, In our middleware server’s integration solution, we are calling an Appian Web API but receiving a 400 error. However, when we test the same Appian Web API call using curl from the middleware server, it works fine with a 200 response. Since there seems to be no difference between the two calls, I’m not sure why the 400 error occurs. If you have had a similar experience and resolved it, I would appreciate your advice. Thank you

Dear all can you please help me to understand why in the Appian analyst Practice Excam test question: What key capabilities of Appian’s unified low-code platform can be used to address common business requirements?  The Answer "Pre-built applications" is a wrong answer? This capability is also mention in this blog page: appian.com/.../top-7-low-code-capabilities-for-enterprise-businesses thanks a lot

Hi all,  i'm encountering trouble with my Admin Profile in a Cloud enviroment. Whenever i try to open properties of a node in Process Modeling or in Modifying a Process, i do not see all the related tabs but only the languages tabs.  Here is a screen:  This problem is present only in production enviroment of a single cloud system. In test, dev and production of other client i dont have this problem.  I've checked my profile in Admin Console and try to find difference with other admin profile that works perfect, but i dont seem to find any.  Tryed even to change browser and cancel cookies and chronology but without any success?  Does anyone encountered and knows something about this problem?  tks for reading 'regards

I have a form where we are showing multiple sections which is collapsable. I made couple of sections as collapsed initially thinking that contents would not load until user expand the section. But its not the case, contents are still evaluating even if section is collapsed by default.  I need certain data to be collapsed to improve the initail loading screen and need to do validation on clicking submit even for collapsed one. Section layout is perfectly doing the validation but its loading the contents in the background. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I am creating this post so that if anyone else runs into the below Error on an Interface, when they try to search for it on Google, they will see this & be able to fix it easily. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error in rule 'applylocalvartestexpression': local!dollarConversion uses a refresh configuration that is not supported in looping functions other than a!forEach(). All other looping functions do not support variables that use the default behavior or configurations other than "refreshAlways". Change the variables refresh configurations using a!refreshVariable(), pass the necessary variables via rule inputs, or use a!forEach() instead. Root Cause: It is generally recommended to replace load()/with() => a!localVariables(), but when this update is made in an Expression Rule and there is an interface (or interface-dependent Expression Rule) referencing it with an apply(), this will break the interface. This is because "a!localVariables does n

Hi everyone, I’m working with procurement documents (PDFs) that contain hyperlinks (e.g. links to official tender platforms). When I use the Get PDF Text smart service (from PDF Tools), the visible text comes through, but the embedded hyperlinks (annotations/URI actions) are not returned. I also tested with AI Skills (Document Extraction), but it seems to behave the same way — as if Appian is only sending the extracted text to the AI model rather than the full PDF object. As a result, the links are lost there as well. Has anyone found a way in Appian to extract these hidden links directly from PDFs? Is there any existing plug-in or connected system that supports reading hyperlink annotations? Or would the only option be to build a custom plug-in with something like Apache PDFBox? Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi together,I have a "map" value in a process. I realized that an IsNull/emptycheck rule I used in a gateway down the line, was failing of evaluating that there was (in my understanding) an empty valuecast( 'type!{http://www.appian.com/ae/types/2009}Boolean', length(a!flatten(ri!value)) = 0 )Even the new rules a!isNullOrEmpty ..... are not recognizing this properly. Does anybody experienced this as well? (not difficult to solve, but it was pretty unexpected) Kind regards, Richard

There are multiple objects in Appian that help us developers to design and build dynamic, fresh, and good-looking interfaces. Sometimes, however, we find the existing components restrictive, preventing us from fully customizing them and building around a specific interface look. This thread, in particular, is about the component BoxLayout, which, after some discussion with our team, has shown a lot of potential to upgrade both functionally and aesthetically. As shown in the screenshot, we have come up with the idea of adding new parameters to the existing component that we think will allow more detail-focused developers to have full access to the colors and style of the component. Also, we think it would be interesting to have full control over the margins that affect the component, in order to build around it more easily. Thanks in advance. Fran.

Hi,  I want to remove the null value keys from the list of the map below.

I’m building an interface where the user is asked: "Do you want to use your previous data?" If the user selects Yes and clicks the Continue button, I want the following flow: Show a loading GIF screen immediately). In the background, fetch the user's previous data using a rule and save it to a local variable. Once the data is available, automatically transition to a new screen that displays this data. Problem:If I try to show the GIF and fetch the data in the same saveInto (e.g. within the button click), the interface waits for the data fetch to complete before updating the UI. As a result, the loading GIF doesn't appear immediately — it only flashes briefly or doesn't show at all. I am sure we can easily manage it at process model end. but trying to see if anyone has done it at interface level which i can reuse.

Hi All, We want to understand more on the Maintenance Downtime Calendar in Appian.As we receive downtime emails in advance for maintenance of the site (for upgrade or any other thing).Also The timing and date can also be accessed from MyAppian Forum site.But these two things would only be accessible by few people in the org/site (support contacts).We want to notify other Appian users about the downtime scheduled so they can be prepared and resume their work accordingly.We are able to think on following ways:1. The Team who has the access will check and update us. 2. They will sent out an email to the Appian users explicitly about the downtime.But all of this would require manually checking the mail or the Appian Forum site. Is there any other way around that we can notify the user about it in advance so that they don’t lose their work. Kindly let us know if there is any other way to achieve this apart from the above.Thank you!

Hi all, I have an integration that returns documents, and I am looking to have the document saved into a new folder that is created for each document.

Hi Team,Getting below error while trying to open downloaded word document after merging sub documents with smart service DOCX Merge: Error: Word found unreadable content in "test 1.docx".

Hi everyone, I’m trying to configure Record Events for my record type (W2246AMA Vehicle) and I’m getting this warning: "You must have edit access to at least one of the applications this record type is in to generate event record types." Because of this, the Generate Event Record Types button is grayed out and I can’t move forward. Has anyone run into this before? Do I need edit rights on the whole application that contains the record type, or just the record itself? What’s the best way to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Team , While creating the robot in community edition i am getting the below error . How to resolve this error

Has anyone figured out a way to export a DMN file from the Decision Table in Appian? We want Appian to be the source of the rules, but we need the DMN model so we can execute the logic on another offline system which must get the same results as if it were run on Appian. Appian claims it uses DMN, but doesn't actually supply the DMN model...which seems odd. Thanks.
