Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Hi Team,
We have a dashboard where we display Test Cases in a read-only grid. The grid is built using the recordData() function, and we have enabled the “Export to Excel” option provided out-of-the-box. Users are able to click this option and successfully download the Excel file.
recordData()
As part of our document cleanup process, we are deleting Excel documents generated within the application. Currently, we are able to identify and delete documents that are created via our custom export functionality.
However, we have a question regarding the Excel files generated through the Record Type’s inbuilt “Export to Excel” feature:
Any clarification or guidance on how Appian handles these export files would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Are these exported Excel files stored anywhere in Appian?
No. They are not persisted anywhere in Appian’s content management system.
Can we identify or delete them as part of cleanup?
No, refer point 1 ans
Are they generated on-the-fly?
Yep fully ondemand
