I been trying to get a document upload it into Appian and also being able to display it using the document viewer Field , but I get the message that is either deleted or not in system. Can someone please show me an example of how to set it up please.

This will not work with newly-uploaded documents, until the form they're uploaded on is submitted.
Until that point, they exist in a special "quarantine" area in the Appian filesystem, where they're not accessible by conventional means (including as targets of the "document()" function, and the preview field). Such uploads are only moved to their final "target" location after form submission.
First, are you trying to display the document on the same interface as it is being uploaded on, or is it uploaded and displayed later / on a separate interface?
Just to note that until a document is uploaded by submitting the form, it is essentially a temporary object and not an official 'document' at this point, in case this is the situation.
Perfect, thank you
Thank you
Hi Mike just thought like a lot of things and a lot of blockers are there till the time documents are not active published don't you think there must be something for this.
Note one work-around we can implement is to add something like an "Upload" or "Preview Document" button on the form that submits (typically without validation), and simply chains back to itself - this will give the user the impression they have not left the form, but turns the document into an official object that can then be previewed.

Sorry, i'm a little unclear what you're asking here...?
A lot of time there are requirements like user of clients want to see the document just after uploading a document i.e. suppose to get some data from excel so for that we need to have a click.
Don't you think Appian should have something for this I mean to bypass the click or action
We've only been asking for that stuff for like 10 years now... but in almost all cases there's a very simple workaround (i.e. 1 extra click), honestly these days it's never really an issue for me.
Haha I feel the pain and we have one question daily just because of this issue anyways thank you.
