Rename all objects

dawids0001 over 5 years ago

Hello there,

I have a simple question.

Can i rename all objects in appian? What i mean - I got one aplication that i'd like to copy and paste but just change prefix of all objects inside for example:

Object in first aplication is AA_s_SampleInterface but i'd like to create another aplication and just import from the first one all objects but then change AA into CA. My Appian version is 18.1

All manual changes will take too much time
Thank you in advance Dawid

I am curious why you are creating the same application multiple times? Sharing objects reduces the overall effort to sustain the appllications in the long run...

Hi Bryant,
Sharing the same objects might be good to some extent, but at times there might be scenarios which requires updation of the shared Object which is requirement in One App and not required in other App, so if developer miss to see the impacted dependents then this may result in Unexpected behavior of App2.

We faced these type of Issues at the beginning and we asked every team to have their own artifact to avoid un expected App behavior and Production Incidents .

Can i have another question? I don't want to create another thread. Is there any node/object in Process Modeler which can change name of document? Im currently using object RENAME FOLDER to change folder name but i'd like change document name.
Well i found now something like Edit Document Properties this might help me? I need to change some name like Id Card into something like that Date#ClientNumber#ClientAccountNumber#1 and if we have more documents after last hash it supposed to be 1 2 3 4 5 for 5 documents

Hi,
I believe the Edit Document Smart Service may help you in what you are trying to accomplish.
Please take a look at this link for a detailed explanation on how to use this smart service, and hopefully it helps.
