Hi all, I enjoyed the Talbot presentation from Appian World on Prompt Builder that helps with improving AI skill results from last year (2024). Has anyone created a use case / skill for processing Sail exported code (particularly interfaces) for flagging variations from agreed upon coding, possibly referencing all of Appian Community threads to warn about potential known issues / KB situations that might arise?  Of course, Appian warns nicely for most issues, but if a scan to flag for areas that might need attention based on known conversation threads might be helpful on occasion?  Just thinking through more use cases with the Persona, User Intent, etc.

Is there a way to declare an empty array as a local variable (local!a)  --> Perform some operations in another local variable(local!b) and append the results to local!a.

Is it possible to enable SAML Authentication (SSO) specific to one application alone in a shared environment and remaining users are expected to login via native login for accessing other applications in the same environment?

Hi,Requirement, I have an Interface which consists of 4 interfaces inside. Out of the 4 interface one has a Card Layout Button. Upon clicking on the Card Layout button a process model is triggered. But before the process model triggers I want to validate all the fields in the 4 interface if its not blank and need to highlight the mandatory fields to be filled if it blank and only then the process should start. Though I have already used the link parameter in the card layout for startprocesslink Im unable to use dynamic link to save local variable and proceed. Kindly help on this.

When working with rich text components in Appian, I encountered issues with displaying special characters correctly, particularly backslashes (\) and other escape characters like tabs (\t) and newlines (\n). These characters can be misinterpreted or escaped incorrectly, leading to incorrect rendering in the interface. Example Scenario Consider the following example, where you have a string containing file paths with backslashes that you want to display in an a!richTextItem component: "File Path:\nC:\Users\tUserXyz\Documents\Project\file.txt\tAnotherPath:\nC:\Users\nUserXyz\Documents\Report\report.txt" Actual Output: "File Path: C:\Users UserXyz\Documents\Project\file.txt AnotherPath: C:\Users UserXyz\Documentseporteport.txt"Expected Output: "File Path: C:\Users\tUserXyz\Documents\Project\file.txt AnotherPath: C:\Users\nUserXyz\Documentseporteport.txt" Root Cause The issue arises because backslashes and other escape characters are special chara

Facing the following error when creating a new record where record sync is enabled. No recent changes in the code or in the record. The record is marked as synced but its data has not yet been synced. More than 50% of the hard disk space is available in the server. Doesn't seem to be a disk space issue. 

I'm following the cards as a button layout.  I have a series of "buttons" that are generated dynamically.   What I'm trying to achieve is that my component tracks which buttons are currently selected. There is a rule input which is a list of integers of the selected buttons. I would like when the button is clicked for the id of the button to be added or removed from the list and the button card will change colors from selected to not selected and back. Currently the coloring works when setting the selected values by default but I cannot get the values to update when clicking on the "button". a!cardLayout( contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( value: { a!richTextItem(text: local!itemNum) }, align: "CENTER" ) },

I am using the code below to show line graph for Appian.  but based on our requirements , I have to show two lines instead of one line . Is it possible in Appian ?  If so , Could you please let me know how to do it ? a!cardLayout( contents: { a!localVariables( a!lineChartField( label: "Average Days to Complete Verification Phases", instructions: "", categories: {"Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec", "Jan", "Feb"}, series: { a!chartSeries(label: "Sales", data: {72, 91, 93, 95, 92, 99, 98, 99, 79, 83, 90, 99}) } ) ) }, marginBelow: "EVEN_LESS", showShadow: true() ),

Hi Team, I have used Process HQ in development environment and built some components including reports, dashboards, and insights, from our Development environment to the Test environment. While we are familiar with the standard Appian deployment process, we would appreciate your guidance on the specific steps required to properly deploy Process HQ elements? Could you please provide us with any deployment documentation, best practices, or checklists related to moving Process HQ across environments? is there way to publish it without losing the work we did in dev environment? We want to ensure that all components function as expected after deployment and would appreciate any insight into potential issues or manual steps that may be required. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Also, if we move my AI Classification model from dev to test, do we have to perform any extra checks during deployment? Appreciate your guidance here. Regards, Ranjita

Hi All,We have a start form with a main interface which is having 3 radio buttons in one child interface and and based on radio button clicked, we are showing three different child interfaces. Now when we click on the radio button, we want the data inside the interface to be refreshed. Currently data is refreshed only when whole page is refreshed. Can we use refresh variables to achieve this or any other way??

Hi, we have migrated Appian to a new infrastructure, so we are trying to align the two environments but the deploy returns errors on some recordTypes.It seems that Appian doesn't see some recordTypes even though they are there. If you click View Record List the message is:The Requested Record Type Is Not Available Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = XYSYS] at function a!recordList: Record Type {urn:com:appian:recordtype:datatype}4ce79cd7-05b5-40a0-923d-e15cc988b782 does not exist (APNX-1-4198-000). But if I search for the UUID I find it.And the record syncs with the db without error. Has this ever happened to you? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm encountering an issue with Document Extraction in Appian Intelligent Document Processing (IDP). Specifically, I'm working on extracting fields that can contain multiple lines of text. Here’s what’s happening: I trained my extraction skill on several documents. The training report shows 100% recall and precision for the field in question. However, when I test the skill with the same or similar documents, the multi-line field is not extracted at all (like descriptions). This only happens with multi-line fields — other fields (like dates, names) extract fine. [emoticon:3c913c0db7eb4f9face51746da287257] What I’ve tried: Adjusted the label zone and verified it's correctly mapped to the field. Ensured the training data included examples with line breaks and variable-length text. Tried with both scanned PDFs and text-based PDFs. Reviewed field settings in the AI Skill configuration.
