Appian Example Images

Is there a list of all available Appain Example Images somewhere(example: a!EXAMPLE_RECEPTIONIST_IMAGE())? I find them easy to use to quickly put together a POC.

    Good question - the example you've provided seems to straddle the line between normal and "unpublished function" (which are, technically, unsupported).  The main difference is that in this case, instruction text is shown once the function name is completed, which is (usually?) not the case with unpublished/unspported functions.  I guess this one (and ones like it) might be in an in-between category i.e. "for training use only" or something.

    To answer your question: i'm unaware of any such list, and I doubt whether there's any "official" list published, though you might discover more via the "blind dart throwing" approach and/or searching through recipes / patterns / community-editiion-site training interfaces.

    I'd be curious to hear anyone else's findings and/or official explanations here.

    I asked the AI in the Appian documentation and got this answer:

    Based on the provided documentation, there is no central list or catalog of all the built‑in example images (like a!EXAMPLE_RECEPTIONIST_IMAGE()a!EXAMPLE_INSURANCE_IMAGE(), or a!EXAMPLE_TITLE_BAR_IMAGE()). They only appear inline within specific examples:

    • a!EXAMPLE_RECEPTIONIST_IMAGE() and a!EXAMPLE_INSURANCE_IMAGE() are used in the responsive landing page example.[Responsive landing]
    • a!EXAMPLE_TITLE_BAR_IMAGE() is used in the image header template example.[Image header]
