Hi Ajinkya,

Action list is visible to user based on security setting. So, till 18.3 version, there is no automated way in Appian to extract this info for an environment (like Action Name | Underlaying Process model name etc. ). You have to do it manually. Thanks

Hi Ajinkya

You can find the list of all actions by downloading the "hc-application-objects.csv" log file. This log contains all objects of applications and from that you can filter for Actions.

Thanks

Hi Ajinkya,
As Dastagiri Dudekula suggested you can build a plugin. Or if you have limited number of applications you can create a datatable for storing the list of actions for application and update it when a new action is posted. This solution is not robust but can help you for now. You can create some similar functionalities as per your requirement.
Thanks,
Yeswanth.

Till now there is no OOB available
To achieve this you have to build the plug-in to do the following.
List the applications within the environment (preferably a method)
List out the application specific process models which are configured as the actions (preferably a method)
Get the process model specific properties like action name, process model name (preferably a method)
Get the process model specific instance propertices like initiator (preferably a method)

Appian level implementation
Create a cdt with the fields like applicationName, processModelName, actionName, initiatiorName
Use the above methods to get the details using looping functions
Pass the cdt to Export cdt to excel or to the grid as per the requirement.

Ajinkya, As far as I know there is a is no ootb or any direct automated way to get this. Just a thought of exporting application and it might contain xml which will have details of actions in it. Probably you can write a xpayh snippet to read it.

Hi,
When you go to Tempo, click on Actions, it will list all the actions for that particular environment. On the Left hand side it will display all Applications name, and the actions and the number of Actions the Application has. If you click on that Application it will filter the list by all the actions for that particular Application. This is specific for the Action Name and Application Name
