It's not as much of a matter of "fix" as it is, learning to understand what Appian is showing you and why - the way it renders numbers on the front-end is sometimes unintuitive. As I mentioned, other threads have gone over this.

This was already a very old thread, but now this is a completely separate topic from the original subject. I'd suggest you find other threads on the topic (i believe there are many), or if you can't, you could consider starting your own new thread with your question, instead of adding on to an unrelated post.

I am having one issue here: for decimal value, when building the form data. it automatically cut to 7digits, like I have the value it's "2671266.78", it cut it to "2671266", tried function "tostring" and "touniformstring", it does not work. what we can do to keep the whole value?

That means that If you need to add. for example one name "David J", you will need to add it in this way

"<tr><td>David j</td></tr>"

tr means row, and td column---

For the above requirement you will have to do following things :

1. Prepare a HTML template like this and store in your KC :

<html>
<head>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
td{
word-break:break-all
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Please find data below.</p>
<table cellpadding="5" rules="none" style='width:100%'>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<th align="center" >Col 1 with Link</th>
<th align="center" >Col 2</th>
<th align="center" >Col 3</th>
</tr>
###Data###
</table>
</body>
</html>

2. Secondly you have to form data using HTML tags in your expression rule. Once formed you store in a PV.

To give link to one column you can use urlforrecord.

3. Go in Configure Send E-mail Setup

You have to select Use a text or HTML template .

Browse the template formed in step 1 and when scanned it will ask for Data, at that time map the formed data PV.

I suppose all this will be helpful to you

Hi rohann179 in order to generate table for email body, I would like to go for expression rule, where array of data will be it's input and you need to perform loop and enclose the data with<tr> <td> i.e. html tag wherever applicable.

And when html page renders this detail, it will show the information as per your configurations.

Hope it will be useful for you.

Just seek out general HTML table tutorials. This one might be a good start:

Sorry, I overloked your subject line and was only reading the body, so I didn't realize you were talking about email / HTML table.

You would have to do this manually but you should be able to build an HTML table and pass it into an email via template. It's not super easy but it's very doable - just brush up on HTML tables.

table with 3 to 4 columns and one column with a record link to be shown in the email sent.

Can you provide a bit more detail as to the data you're passing and the table you'd like to build? Without knowing much more specifics, I'd guess you should be looking at building either a gridField (i.e. paging grid) or gridLayout (i.e. editable grid, which can easily be shown read-only).
