Requirement is  I will be entering emailaddresses on UI and it will be passed to the integration and the integration will return the emailAddresses with GUIDs  . If any emailaddress is missing from the response which we entered then it must show that emailaddress on UI. Suppose I have passed test@test.com and test2@test.com and In repsonsed I get only GUID of only one emailaddress then it has to show the 2nd emailaddress on the UI as invalid error . How Can I achieve it

Hi Everyone,I'm running into an issue where one of my Appian process models stays in the "Active" state but doesn’t actually move forward past the first node. There are no errors in the logs, and all inputs look correct. It's just... stuck. I tried canceling and redeploying, even restarting the Appian engine, but the same thing happens again. This process used to work fine a week ago  nothing significant has changed in the model. Could this be related to a timer event or a data store node silently failing? Thanks!

I have created a Robot in Appian RPA and it comes online. At the end of the day when I turn off my system the robot goes offline and the next day, in order to bring it back online I have to download the new installer and install it again. Then only robot comes online. Is there any way we could bring the robot back online without having to download and install the installer again every day?

Currently, when users paste multiple lines of data into these fields, Appian merges everything into a single line. The requirement is to improve this behavior by allowing multi-line inputs to be preserved and formatted correctly—each line should be treated as a separate entry. Based on this input, the system should identify and display relevant matching data for each line, helping users quickly find and select multiple valid options. Example if we search - "Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"  then relevant options should be displayed in the dropdown a!localVariables( local!selectedData, { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!dropdownField( choiceLabels: {"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3", "Option 4", "Option 5", "Option 6", "Option 7", "Option 8", "Option 9", "Option 10", "Option 11", "Option 12"}, choiceValues: {1, 2,

So as shown in the above image iam using safelink() function for the buttons "Recruiter" and "Vendor" , etc... and i gave the web address of another site, but when i click on the button iam getting no response as if the button is just a dummy button, it is  doing nothing. Have i made any errors in configuring the safelink function. Please someone guide me through it.

Hi all, I have a process model that calls an expression rule to generate a 6-character random alphanumeric string. I encountered a case where two instances of the process model were triggered at the same time (based on time logs), and both received the same generated value from the expression rule. I understand that there's always a chance for it to generate the same value. However, I’d like to ask: Is it possible that both process models used the same instance or execution thread of the expression rule, which might explain why the same value was returned?

Hi everyone, I'm working on a Robotic Task in Appian RPA that performs the following steps: Opens a browser and accesses a web portal. Enters credentials (passed as text input). Navigates through some pages and downloads a file (PDF). Accesses the local folder where the file was saved. Currently, after downloading the file, the robot uses Upload Document to upload it to Appian as a Document. My question is: Is there a way to pass the downloaded file directly to the process model without using Upload Document? In other words, I’d like to avoid explicitly uploading the file to Appian and see if it’s possible to return it directly to the process model as a file in memory or temporary file reference using the output data tab of the robotic task. Has anyone dealt with a similar scenario? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Historically, we’ve used Data Sources and Custom Data Types (CDTs) to manage our data integrations. As we transition to using synced records for our new application, we’ve encountered a challenge related to schema access in SQL Server. Currently, our SQL Server Data Source is configured with a username that has access to the database. However, any synced record created under this data source only has access to tables within the default schema. Our data model spans multiple schemas within the same database, and ideally, we need to connect tables across these schemas within a single synced record. One workaround is to create separate data sources for each schema, each using a different username. However, this would require maintaining multiple data sources for the same database, which adds unnecessary complexity and overhead. We’re seeking guidance on the best way to configure our SQL Server connection so that synced records can access tables across multiple schemas wit

Hey Everybody, I am fairly new to Appian. Since yesterday, I haven't been able to access the community edition. All I can see is  "This site is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance" But the status of my country on their status page shows "Online". Is it just the case with me or for anyone else too?

I have a readonly grid with a record as a source. This record Lets say "Main Record" is having a relation ship with other record - "Related Record". Grid has fields from both records. When Applying filters I want to avoid getting records from "Related Record" which are not active. Lets take below sample data of "Related Record". Relationship is one to Many. ID_MainRecord Division Is Active 1 Sports 0 1 Study 1 I have applied filter as  a!queryFilter( field:Main Record.Related Record.Division Operator: = Value: "Sports" ), a!queryFilter( field:Main Record.Related Record.isActive Operator: = Value: true ) Still I am getting one record in Grid I am expecting no records at all. And the record I am getting is having "Study" in division grid field. How can I get it work.  Some how how the first filter is not working as "Sports is there in the relationship field I guess. Thanks in advance for your atten

Hi All, I have my expression rule as below and I'm trying to get 100 records in 1 batch to pass to the process model. Now I need to fetch the 1st row from this rule output into a process model - perform some action and then loop back to fetch the second row - perform some action, loop back third record to fetch 3rd row and so on until I reach my 100th record. Please advise what expression do I need to write here to fetch the rows and loop back?

Hi Team! I have a requirement and would like to know if anyone has faced a similar situation or has suggestions on how to approach it. Scenario:I have an interface where the user can dynamically add N sections. Each section has a unique ID (provided by the user) and a fixed set of fields (the same for all sections), but with different data. Example: The user adds 2 sections: ID 1 and ID 2. Each section contains the same fields (e.g., name, date, value), but with different values. At the end, I need to generate a dynamic PDF document that reflects exactly those sections and their data. Requirement:The generated document should include one section per user entry, with the corresponding data mapped correctly. If the user adds 5 sections, the document should have 5 blocks with the respective data. My question:What would be the best approach to generate this kind of dynamic document in Appian? Is it possible to do this using Document Generation? Do I ne

Hi All, I have a use case where I'm querying data from database table of 100 records set in paging Info. Now, Once I pass this data from my rule to process model, I need to extract the records one by one, perform some action on them and write to DB and then loop back again in the same process model to fetch the 2nd row data and repeat this in batches. My question is how do I fetch the data from a batch of 100 records and to get only one row and then 2nd row and so on without using an MNI? Please advise.
