Hi All,
Currently the Appian OOTB record feature doesn't provide the progress of export. Once we click on export option there is no response for some time , after few seconds the document will be downloaded.
There is no way we can show to users that document has been downloaded or at least the progress of download.
Does anyone have any alternate hack/solution for this?
The excel tools or any other plugins will show the progress option in browser tab, but we would like to use record export.
Thanks,
Karthik

hi karthikkanjerla you can try using some export excel to sql smart service once download is completed showing some interface after it like "download has completed" if you want try with record export i think there no way to show some file has downloaded confirmation
Hi Abhishek Karumuru This we are are already doing it, we are looking for something with in record OOTB, we tried by checking network tab. Looks like Appian flushes the document immediately after download. As far i know we cant track that , but just would like to check if anyone has encountered this.
Hey karthikkanjerla
We have implemented similar functionality as
When the user clicks the export button, trigger a background process to generate the export file. Display a loading indicator to the user while the export is in progress. Once the export is complete, notify the user (e.g., via a push notification, email, or in-app message) that the file is ready for download. Provide a direct download link or button for the user to access the exported file. This approach allows you to provide progress feedback and a more seamless user experience, without relying on the default Appian export functionality.
Let me know if that solves your requirement.
Hi Shubham, This is already implemented, we are looking for something with OOTB record export feature itself, as far i checked i don't think we have a way to track that.
