Thanks in Advance.

Hello Community, We’re currently designing a bi-directional integration between Appian and multiple external distributed systems — including CRM, KIOSK, and MOBILE channels. We're evaluating two architectural approaches and would appreciate your insights, especially around Appian events, correlation IDs, and event-based routing strategies. Approach 1: Task-ID Based Integration In this model: When Appian creates a task (e.g., KYC Review), it exposes the task ID to an external system (such as CRM). The external system then uses this ID to call back into Appian to complete the task. Approach 2: Event-Driven Integration with Correlation ID (Using Appian Events) In this preferred model: A correlation ID (UUID) is generated at the beginning of the interaction and shared between Appian and the external system. This correlation ID is used consistently throughout the lifecycle of the end-to-end process across all systems. Appian does not expose any internal task or

hello I'm on 25.1 and I have the below Use Case: I need to display on a read-only grid a short list (5 or 10 items at least) of last opened Record of a given Record Type. basically I need to store on a table the interactions over a Record List (every time a user clicks on a Record Link) in order to display the "last opened records" as a table I was thinking on replacing the Record Link with a startProcessLink which stores this transaction on a table (recordId, user, timestamp) and then open the Record Summary as a task, but this has several disadvantages: - the record page has several tabs (summary, attachments, other related data ....) which might requires additional effort to refactor - transforming the record interaction into processes might have performance issues any thoughts/suggestion about how to deal with this? thanks

I need to create a dynamic DOCX document that includes a table with 12 columns, where each column automatically adjusts its width. Already I create the same but able to showing only 8 columns. The remaining 3 columns exceed the page width, so they aren't visible, although I have not define width anywhere in the code. Please help me to fix it.

Hi,  I'm researching about the plug-ins development and I've seen in the documentation that a local installation of Appian is required to develop and test any type of plug-in. For instance, in this page it says the following:  "In order to individually build a custom smart service plug-in, a licensed local installation of Appian is required. Appian Cloud customers who have a local installation must develop and test the custom smart service locally and coordinate with Appian Technical Support to deploy it on their site." Why is a local installation necessary? Is it because the Appian JAR (<APPIAN_HOME>/_admin/sdk/appian-plug-in-sdk.jar) has to be added as an external dependency in the IDE? The JAR file can only be obtained from a local installation? Thanks in advance

Hi! We had to migrate from Appian on cloud to on premise. Is it normal to successfully connect when using a Web API with a get (hello world) but not when using a post (upload a document)? On this case I've got a 403 - Forbidden error.

Hi , We have a requirement of Loading Data into a new Table / View from 4 different tables (These 4 tables don't have Record , those are old tables They have CDT) .  In terms of Performance and New features of Records which approach will be better ? 1. Use Store Proc ( Creating a new table > Select required columns from 4 different tables > Insert into new table )  But in this case , everytime if our 4 tables get updated in Prod, We have to run this Store Proc        2. Create a materiliazed view .  but I guess in this case also , we have to update our view if there are entries in those 4 tables       3. Create a normal view from 4 tables  But Record Sync and other data fabric features won't work here I guess Can anyone please help here ? Thank You in Advance

I am using appian version 24.4 and made a user filter for a record that is populated by a lookup table. I deleted a couple of rows from the table because they were unwanted, but they still show up in the filter. If I look at the table in the db or the record for the lookup table, both show that the entries are missing, but no matter what I do, the deleted rows show up in the dropdown.  This is the table: This is what the dropdown shows: "In draft" shouldn't be there and there is a duplicate which was removed, but both remain. I saw a similar post Here but I am not sure it's the same bug or not and the post seems to suggest that this issue was solved with version 24.1. Any help would be appreciated 

Previously I was working on a project to customize Case Management Studio for Use Case 1. 3 months later, that project is on hold and I now want to use CMS for a completely different use case. I realize that I can create a new case category to handle the new use case and mark the previous one as inactive. However, I have made some changes to the Base module as well and want to make sure that doesn't create any problems in the future. I have also configured data fields in the "All Cases" data section that I can view in my new case category (Which is not ideal, since it does not apply to the new use case) What would be my best options to make sure I have a clean slate for the new use case - 1. Is it recommended to clone an instance/app of CMS using npm apn-app-manager?  2. Should I continue working in the same instance with a new case category Appreciate your advice on this!

Hello All, I have a 2 column layout. in left section I have a tree with multiple node like shown in below. Category1 Interface1 Interface2 Category2 Interface3 Interface4 Interface5 In right section I have to display the selected node's interface. For example if "Interface1" node is clicked then it should call an expression rule which returns the interface name to be loaded for that node. Now as expression rule returns string value, I am not able to render that interface in right section. Please note  - Each node has associated interface and entire list is maintained in records. On tree node click that expression rule finds the interface name for selected node. Kindly help if there is any other way to achieve this? Thanks in Advance.
