I would like to know better way to select a row from a grid. Appian 6

Could you provide more detail on what you're looking for?

I am going to create a grid based on web service call result. Based on grid a user can select only one row, then I will need to get data from selected row.
I was thinking to add radio button on each row that user can choose to indicate chosen row, it does not appear that will work because radio button is being toggle for each row not entire grid.

check out our documentation on how to make paging grid selectable forum.appian.com/.../Paging_Grid_Component

This is Appian 6.5.3. I don't have Paging Grid available in form designer.

Since you are in an old version you can use a different approach:

1. Use JavaScript validation so the user cannot select more than one. See example at forum.appian.com/.../48235

In the example I am simply doing a Custom JS Validation.

return window.FormAPI.getValue("favActorCheckbox").id.split("1").length -1 == 1

2. Use JavaScript to uncheck all previously checkboxes except for the one that the user is clicking on. See example at forum.appian.com/.../48235

his function does the trick:

function checkDoneWhenAnsweredPara(answerFieldInput, doneCheckboxFieldInput) {

var selectedIndex = window.FormDesigner.lastRowEvent;
if (selectedIndex == 0) {
answerField = $('#fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+answerFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
doneCheckBox = $('#checkboxControl_fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+doneCheckboxFieldInput);
} else {
answerField = $('#fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+answerFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
doneCheckBox = $('#checkboxControl_fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+doneCheckboxFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
}
if (answerField != null && answerField.html() != '') {
doneCheckBox.attr('checked',true);
} else {
doneCheckBox.attr('checked',false);
}
}


In the example, the process model is under Process Models – Forum and is called Checkboxes and Paragraph Grid with a JavaScript file called gridYesNoAndParagraph.js under Default Community > Temporary Documents Knowledge Center > Temporary Documents>JS Libraries.

Eduado,

It looks like the second example url is going to first one, can you provide correct url?
Also, to get selected row data, I need a js, any suggestion?

Thanks.

1. My bad, the second example is forum.appian.com/.../10010
2. Since the checkbox will be stored in a node input as an array of booleans you will be able to determine what index was selected and using the where() function you can pick the same index but in the other array of interest.
