Hello, We need to download the data from the read-only grid to Excel. We used the record type as a source for the grid and used the OOB export grid feature. The file name downloaded with this is "Record Name" - YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.xls Is it possible to customize the file name generated with this? please let us know. Thank You, Sneha

Hi Appian Community, We recently ran a Health Check on our application and encountered a performance finding related to a Record Type. The specific issue is with the "Data Query and Default Filter" step, which is taking 4322 ms to execute. Context: We have a Record Type (recordType!ABC) that pulls data from a database view containing all case types. A default filter is applied using the "Expression" option. The expression used is:             a!queryFilter(   field: 'recordType!ABC.fields.transactionId',   operator: "=",   value: 46 ) Note: The transactionId field is indexed in the main underlying table Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm using the Open Browser action in Appian RPA to launch a legacy web application. Occasionally, the website may be down, and when that happens, the bot execution fails with an error like "unable to navigate to URL." In such cases, I would like to trigger a notification (ideally an email) to inform the support team immediately about the failure. My questions are: Is there any default mechanism in Appian RPA to send notifications (like emails) on task failures? If not, what’s the best practice to implement an email notification when an action like Open Browser fails? Any guidance or examples would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

if "Data type" and "Data Store" are not showing in our environment in Appian Designer,here are the possible reasons and how to fix them.

I want to invite my friend to join my shared workspace, but I failed. I got a message. "You seem to already be in a shared workspace. If you wish to join this cohort, you must leave your current workspace before accepting this invite." But my friend is not in any workspace. He is new  member.  Please tell me how to deal with it?

Basically im developing a start form where i get a list of records that contain a a docID and a dropdown.  The interface has a editable grid where the user can add rows and per row the user can add a document (file uploadField) and a dropdown.  My issue is that on both fields i selected the value and the save with ri!VALUE and when i add a document it makes it so that in all the rows that document is selected and the same for the dropdowns. How can i make that per row created the save and the value creates a new array? In the interface i have already selected the ri! as multiple.   ill leave the code here , and thanks in advance to all,  a!localVariables(   local!rowsTemp: a!gridRowLayout(     contents: {       a!fileUploadField(         label: "Input File",         labelPosition: "ABOVE",      &n

Hi everyone, we are currently evaluating different approaches to automate our tests. We're aware of the tools officially recommended by Appian (Appian Selenium API, FitNesse for Appian, and Cucumber for Appian), but we’re interested in knowing if there are alternative solutions.

Hi everyone, I have a challenge where I need to classify more than 10 different types of documents. I understand that the traditional Classify Document approach in Appian requires a substantial amount of training data to build an accurate model. Is it possible to use generative AI (Gen-AI) for document classification in Appian instead? Or is Gen-AI generally not suitable for handling multiple document types like this? I’m aware that the current Appian AI Skills for document classification do not use Gen-AI, but I wanted to check if there are any alternative approaches or best practices. I also tried using extraction with unstructured Gen-AI for classification, but it turned out to be more complex than I expected—especially converting the output to JSON and so on. Thanks for any advice or suggestions!ps; currently lacks of documents so i not using the classification document method xD

I'm currently preparing for the Certified Developer Exam having no prior experience with Appian. I see other threads mention it is best to use Appian for a few months first, but my company encourages pursuing this exam (and the Senior developer certificate) before employment begins. I am completing the associated course (inculding all optional and practice content) but others have noted that this may be insufficient for the difficulty of the exam. Even the practice test indicates that the real exam will be more difficult. Does anyone have an reccomendation for how else to prepare or links to more in-depth practice resources?

Hello, I'm currently learning about the various functions of Appian to understand how powerful it can be. At the moment, I'm facing an issue with creating an approval process that has a condition where at least 2 out of 3 approvers must approve in order for the flow to continue. This is what I have configured in the user input task node so far.The problem I'm facing right now is that I don't know how to update the value of pv!approvalResults (which is a list of text) when each approver takes an action. Could you please give me some advice?

Hi Team, I'm currently stuck at a point and would appreciate your input. I need to display different colors for different countries in a column chart. Below is the database structure I'm working with country ListId(pK), .countryId(int), isAllowed(boolean) Note: I want to show only allowed countries data in column chart. I grouped the data by countryId, and I want to display different colors for different ranges of country IDs in a column chart. For example: Country IDs 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be shown in blue Country IDs 5, 6, 7, and 8 in yellow Country IDs 9 and 10 in another color These colors are just examples. If this approach is feasible, I will apply it to the actual requirement.

Hi, I am using below code in my interface where I am using pickerFieldCustom. Also, I am sharing my expression rule.

Hi, I have a field 'allocatedTo' in the database table with longtext type, which is translates to Extra Long Text type in Appian Record. While trying to edit a relationship with another record having 'username' field as Text type, 'allocatedTo' does not show up in the dropdown. Strangely, it worked fine first time, now shows error in the relationship. What could be the issue ? Thanks.

Hi, I want to understand how refreshAlways parameter set to true behaves. Lets say I have interface A which is having one child interface B which is having 5 radio buttons and for all 5 radio buttons, i have 5 different interfaces called in parent interface A. Whenever I click on one radio button, one corresponding interface will display. I have used refreshAlways parameter for some local variables present inside those 5 interfaces. When I click on those radio buttons, will the local variables present in the 5 interfaces defined under refresh always will refresh or they will refresh when we interact with any component present inside those 5 interfaces?

In UIPath we have reFramework (dispatcher, performer, reporter) and the queue/orchestrator splitting the work between bots. Can somebody please point me to a similar way of doing it in the Appian Academy? Thank you so much.

Stupid question: there are "learning paths". After I finish one time all the materials/records/etc on one learning path I would like to start again so that I can do a "learning path" multiple times. Is it possible to reset a "learning path"? Thank you.

Hello All, We're calling an integration within a process model that receives a JSON document (approx. 95 MB in size). Using the Load JSON Document To Database plug-in to dump the data directly into a database table. The Process model completes successfully. However, we're capturing the following error in the logs: "Error parsing JSON Content or audit data" Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks In advance Lokesh
