Hello guys, So I was trying to add image to the document (both dynamic and static) . I included the required image doc as constant in my XML. I got the id of the document in the generated document. Some discussions explain about bookmarks. I have tried that but still the same. It gets a bracket outside of the doc Id. So Any other possible solutions. Also I want some notes or any references or other new things in this plugin for my seminar. Thanks in Advance. First image is the template. Second one is the xml code. Third one is the one I got so far.

Hi guys, I used ADT Plugin to produce report document using "Docx from dynamic template" , I got the images in the doc but the square bracket from bookmark is explicitly visible when I gave logo image(circular image). Is there any way to remove the square brackets? This is the output image. Thanks in Advance

we are receiving data via web api in Appian. as the volume is very high, we save the events to database to process them later via a second process model which keeps polling the db for pending events.  The issue is that processing should be in ALMOST real time without overwhelming the Appian environment. to do that, we tried to schedule the polling process every 30 seconds. but the minimum time it takes for repeat configuration is 5 minutes which is of no use to us.   how can we configure a process to run every 30 seconds ?

Hello Everyone, I am using DocX from Dynamic Template to insert a signature in a Word document. I need to insert the same image in two different places. While the first signature is working correctly, the second one is not updating as expected and remains the same. I have uploaded the Template, XML code, Images code, and the generated document for your review. Please let me know if there's an issue with my configurations. Thank you in advance! XML: = " " & cons!SIGNATURES[1] & " " Images perameter: = {signature: cons!SIGNATURES[1]} [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/Two_5F00_signatures_5F00_Template.docx:320:240] [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/Result_5F00_File.docx:320:240]

Hi, I see below error while creating a record, Unable to write to or delete from the source due to a data integrity violation.Error Details: (conn=141783) Duplicate entry '3' for key 'SURVEY_PROPERTY_ID' There is no key ""SURVEY_PROPERTY_ID" available in either DB or Record The counter seems to increase every time I try to write to record. But always shows the same error. Thanks in advance

Title: How to download Column Chart Field as PNG with chart labels in Appian? Hi Team, I am using a Column Chart Field in Appian interface and I want to provide an option for users to download the chart as a PNG image. My requirement is: Download the complete column chart as a PNG file Include chart labels/data labels in the downloaded image Maintain the chart formatting and visibility Could anyone suggest: Is this possible using native Appian functionality? Are there any plugins or JavaScript approaches available? Has anyone implemented chart export/download functionality in Appian interfaces? Any suggestions or sample approaches would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Team, I have a base record type and I configured multiple grids using that same record. In the grid, I am using the export/download option to download the records. However, when the file gets downloaded, the exported file name/display name is showing the Base Record name instead of the configured Record Label. My requirement is: The exported file should display the Record Label or grid-specific name It should not show the Base Record type name Could anyone help me understand: Why the export is taking the Base Record name? Is there any way to customize the export file name or make it use the Record Label? Is this expected Appian behavior or is there any workaround available? Thanks in advance!

Hi Community, I'm looking for some best approaches, documentation if any for migration strategies. I would need info on below 2 scenarios: 1. Best practices/approach for migrating an application from other technology OnBase to Appian 2. Best practices/approach for migrating data in old application. Quick pointer on above is much appreciated.

Hi, I have list of maps in a local variable . I am using it in grid field . I need to apply sort to the columns. Sorting is supported only when the data is from query entity or record. Is there any workaround where we can manually apply sort to the grid when the data is a list of map. Sample code.a!localVariables( local!data: { a!map(id: 1, uin: 234, count: 5, ), a!map(id: 2, uin: 232, count: 5, ), a!map(id: 3, uin: 28, count: 5, ) }, a!gridField( data: local!data, columns: { a!gridColumn(label: "ID", value: fv!row.id), a!gridColumn(label: "UIN", value: fv!row.uin), a!gridColumn(label: "COUNT", value: fv!row.count) } ) ) Can you please help me with the sorting 

Hi Community, I'm building an HTML-to-PDF generation flow and need to embed an employee photo (stored as an Appian Document) directly into an <img> tag as a Base64 data URL, like this: <img src="data:image/png;base64,{BASE64_STRING}" /> I want to construct the value in an Appian expression as: "data:image/png;base64," & base64Data My question: Is there a built-in Appian expression function to convert a Document to a Base64 string? Using the Appian document URL directly in <img src> does not work. Thank you

Is there any way to reset the value to null when only the date or time is entered in a datetimefield?   Screenshots attached   1. Enter only the date in 'Fecha entrega en mano'   2. Click on CANCELAR and confirm   3. Click on EDITAR again 4. As can be seen in the screenshot, the previously entered value is displayed by default. Appian does not reset the value to null for datetimefields. However, for fields other than datetimefields, it does reset them and previously entered values do not appear.

How can I optimize the performance of my Appian application?

How can I iterate the whole table for the requirement? How should the syntax be placed for Advanced Document templating plugin. I understand the code how we can loop through the rows in a grid but how can we loop the grid itself? eg: If I have 5 employees under Labor grid I want 5 different grids dynamically created based on syntax! 

I am considering implementing pessimistic locking in Appian. However, I have heard that pessimistic locking can potentially degrade performance because it restricts concurrency. In practice, how much impact does pessimistic locking typically have on performance? Also, from a best practice perspective in Appian, what kind of design or implementation approaches should be considered? Specifically, I would appreciate guidance on topics such as: In which scenarios does pessimistic locking have a significant performance impact? When should pessimistic locking be used, and when should it be avoided? If pessimistic locking is required, are there any design techniques or best practices to minimize its performance impact?

Hi Everyone,We have a requirement where we are using AI-based document extraction to extract fields from a predefined form.In the same form, if there are any empty spaces and the user accidentally adds handwritten text or notes outside the expected form fields, we need to detect that additional handwritten content separately.Is it possible in Appian with help of AI extraction to achieve this use case ? Kind Regards, Kavya

The Receive Message node has been configured to receive incoming emails that should trigger one of the extraction models within DocCenter. However, this is not happening. Instead, the system only stores the document uploaded or attached to the email within the folder shown in the screenshot. There is also nothing appearing in the system logs from what can be seen. It is unclear what may be missing, possibly a plug-in, as the attachments functionality within the Receive Message node has been deprecated.

We have a process in our environment which gets triggered whenever it receives an email. We have a requirement from business where they want the whole outlook email or any email sent by them to Appian which triggers the process to be stored as some document inside Appian. Without any pulgin option is there any way to achieve this?
