Well, looks like I don't have the ability to create new posts. I'm not seeing that option in the forum.

Ok, I'll start a new thread. I'm quite experienced with MySQL and MariaDB so I am happy to know this.

So, if you need to do that just once, just open the DB and import that data directly. That is, if you want to keep the "data model" the same.

If you share more details about your use case, maybe in a new thread, we can better support you in finding a good solution.

Hi Stefan,

I'm new, and have been assigned to research using Appian for building our application, which currrently is a PowerApp application that's connected to a SharePoint list. Our security team will not allow me to connect to SharePoint from Appian, as they state it's a security risk.

So, my thought was to export to CSV from Sharepoint List, then use the CSV to import into a database in Appian, and build from that. There are only 180 rows, but there's over 50 fields, which would take me too long to build manually, not to mention the data entry.

How does one get their business data (other than connecting to a source) into Appian?

Using data stores is not the hot stuff anymore. What are you looking for?

first you say ur data disappear when u clicked outside of that field the reason is that in interface coding u would not write saveinto , in all fields thats why when u clicked outside of field then data disappears.

Hello shyamil_iyyakandy ,
Follow the all Step that explain by Jose Cavazos and after that to insert that data into Appina Cloud database you have to use "Write to Data Store Entity" data service.

Hi Shyamil,

My guess is that you didn't select your variables to get saved within the form in the process model.

Also i would suggest you to debug in the following way.

1.- Check your interface in expression mode and change some values in the text fields then verify if your Rule inputs are getting values. ( If they do that means your interface is working fine).

2.- Moving to the process model verify your interface node and check if you have the process variables (Those are used to pass data around the process model and that is how you can connect your data in the interface and the process model).

3.- Run an instance of the process model so you can see realtime values of the variables. ( I believe you don't need any previous values so control + D) will work on your process model so you can see what values are over there in the process model.

Please post a screenshot of your SAIL form configuration within your process model.

Hi Shyamil -

Are you familiar with the FREE Appian Academy Training courses?
Check this out:
academy.appian.com/.../process-modeling-configure-and-test-executable-workflows

This course offers a section on writing to a data store entity.

I would start at the interface level, when entered data removes itself that typically indicates the saveInto or value is not set properly on the field(s), you will want both of those configured.
