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. Please let me know how to achieve that:{a!map(ABC: 6.7, EFG: 15.44, HIJ: 470.888, KLM: "9.8989984", OPQ: null), a!map(ABC: 8.4, EFG: 15.43, HIJ: 470.656, KLM: "9.2342", OPQ: null), a!map(ABC: 7.2, EFG: 15.42, HIJ: 470.554, KLM: "9.234234", OPQ: null), a!map(ABC: 5.6, EFG: 15.42, HIJ: 470.234, KLM: "9.63242", OPQ: null), a!map(ABC: "", EFG: 15.42, HIJ: 470.665, KLM: "9.54343", OPQ: null)} Regards, Sowvik

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. I am running into this error:  I'd appreciate any advice or thoughts. Would this be better fit for a PM, if so, what would be the recommended path of approaching this? Thank you in advanced!

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". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes.Before merge we are able to download and open the single generated word doc without pop up message.

Only thing we need to avoid this pop up message when opening the word doc.I have posted comment in App Market place as well to check with author of plugin : https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/dynamic-document-generatorAlso we have discussed this issue in community earlier, at that time we followed some steps and achiev

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.

Hi,  I am using a plugin this plugin - Convert DocX to PDF Aspose.  In the script task, I am passing the source Doc Id and Generated Doc Folder Id and storing it to a process variable.In the plugin, I am passing the PV value in the "source file data list" ( Input). I am storing the output in another process variable. The PM got completed without any errors, but the output Process variable is empty. Can someone please help here. 

I have interface displaying record data in grid format. When the user clicks Export to PDF, the currently filtered results (or all records if no filter is applied) should be downloaded in PDF format.

Hi Community, In our current implementation, we're using the Send E-Mail smart service in a few process models. However, the Appian Health Check report flagged this with the following message: "Send E-Mails references a smart service that is no longer recommended for use (Send E-Mail). Please remap this node in the process model to use the latest version." Could someone guide us on: What the recommended replacement is for the deprecated Send E-Mail smart service? Any best practices or migration steps we should follow while updating our process models? Thanks.

Hi, We like to use the Kafka plugin for (binairy) Avro messages.  Are there intention to support this kind of messages. Also the plugin has an option for a custom Deserializer class, but this does't seem to be used and also the code always expects that the value is a String.  Is there an example of a custom deserializer class for a non-text based message value?  Should this be possible?  Thanks Klaas Pieter Boerema Rabobank. 

Hello everyone, So I have a process model that involves a user submitting a form, putting in details before submitting. It basically involves the writing of some details to the record type before showing a confirmation page, which just shows the user a tick button of confirmation, requiring a done to submit. I have a few issues here. Firstly, the only reason I had the done button was because I attempted to let it auto-run of some sort before closing by itself, however, I could not achieve that. Next, I settled on a done button as upon clicking it will complete the process model. However, after my users started using it, I noticed that they do not click the done button always. Due to appian's process model clean up task not including active tasks, I believe active tasks will be active till forcibly ended by the admin. I also attempted to set a timer for the task, perhaps a deadline, attempted setting a and gateway to link directly to the end node, nothing changed, I'm still u

Hello Appian Community, I am currently working with Process HQ reports, and when exporting the data, the files are automatically downloaded in CSV format. I have two questions regarding this export: Some fields that are numeric are being exported as text format. Is there a way to ensure they are downloaded directly as numeric values instead of text? In some cases, exported numbers include a strange prefix character (for example: $~118.331.052.083.617,56). Is there a recommended configuration or workaround to prevent these characters from appearing? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support. Regards, Monica Vela,
