Hi
I'm new to Appian. I tried doing the following the steps to insert data to my table.
Whenever i enter any data in my text fields in the form, the data disappears when i click outside the text box (the screen reloads as well).
I want to insert data to DB on click of my submit button in the form. Am not sure if i have configured the data mappings properly in 'user input' and 'write to datastore entity'.
Can someone help me figuring out what the issue is?
Thanks,
Shyamil

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.
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.

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