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.

component plug-in

Certified Lead Developer

Hi,

i am exploring building the component plug-in for the below activities:

1. i will pass the parameter to the plug-in and based on that parameter the plug-in should get the data from the database and show it on the plug-in itself

2. if i modify the data on the plug-in it should update the same data on the database.

Please suggest the approach for the above requirement. please let me know if any sample plug-ins

  • You'll need to add the necessary configurations/code to make this work but it is do-able. 

    • you can add a link on each of the nodes. This link could be an a!startProcessLink() and you can pass the node's value to the process and in that process you could retrieve the data associated with that node for editing
    • to move a node you could either re-use the above process, or you can use the pathSaveInto on the hierarchy browser component as input to a separate process (say as a different link in the user interface) to effect a "move node" action
