Thank you Shubham for your inputs.

Extra Long Text field not available in Process HQ reporting

mathurambika0708 — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:24:28 GMT

We recently changed one of our record fields from Text to Extra Long Text (We are in Appian 26.3 version). After making this change, we are no longer able to see that field in Process HQ when creating reports. This field was available before the datatype change.

Does Process HQ support Extra Long Text fields for reporting? If this is a limitation, could someone point me to the relevant documentation?

I was not able to find any information about this in the documentation, so I wanted to check whether anyone has come across the same behavior.

Thanks in advance!

This isn’t explicitly documented for Process HQ, but official docs say Extra Long Text fields cannot be used in filters, sorts, aggregations, or records-powered components, and Appian recommends avoiding them in grids and using them only in individual record views for performance reasons.
Also, based on my understanding: Process HQ reporting works only with primitive data types, and Extra Long Text is not considered a primitive type

Thanks Stefan.

I did try checking the documentation and the Appian AI chatbot before posting, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. That's why I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone has experience with using Extra Long Text fields in Process HQ reporting or knows of any related limitations.

I copied your ask into the Appian AI Chatbot. I did not get any clear output. Seems like this is not clearly documented.

hi are you aware that process mining is not a term appian is really promoting any more and rather evolved into "Process HQ" ("process insights" part of it)?

RE: Unexpected Error After Deleting Scheduled Process Model in Appian

sanjuktab2257 — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 20:43:16 GMT

Thank you all!

Root Cause Analysis:

The process model was deleted on 30th September. The last successful run occurred on September 28th. After that, the scheduler task updated the next run date to October 5th. However, since the process model was no longer present in the environment, the system attempted to run it 26 times this Sunday, and failed each time, and eventually terminated the instance.

Unexpected Error After Deleting Scheduled Process Model in Appian

sanjuktab2257 — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:26:53 GMT

Hi All,

We had a process model in Appian that was scheduled to send a report every Sunday at 11:59 PM.

Later, we discovered an issue with the report it was generating. Due to business requirements, we exported the process model, saved it locally, and then deleted it from Appian.

I had assumed that the scheduled activities were tied directly to the process model, so deleting it would stop the scheduled execution. However, this Sunday, we received an error stating:

Problem: An error occurred in executing an Activity Class.

Details: Process Model has been deleted. Process designer could not be retrieved

Recommended Action: Examine the activity class to correct the error and then resume.

Can anyone please help me to understand this scenario?

Looks you have deleted a subprocess of scheduled process not the scheduler process model. Can you share the screenshot of error instance?

This looks more like a scheduled node, than a scheduled process model.

Deleting the process model doesn't cancel already running instances. Your scheduled task created an active instance before deletion, which tried to run Sunday and failed.
Go to Monitor find Process Instances and check the orphaned instance, and cancel it.

RE: How to enable Process insights and Data Governance in Process HQ?

Harsha Sharma — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 13:28:03 GMT

When you say Data Steward group - actually it is not a group its a permission level. You can check if you added user/group with Data Steward as permission to Record type.

Also the other groups - 'Process HQ Users', 'Data Governers' and 'Data Fabric Report Creators' - are system groups. Hope you have used the same groups to add yourself into and not created additional groups yourself! Can you confirm if your configuration matches this

How to enable Process insights and Data Governance in Process HQ?

Sai Deepan Ramesh — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 12:07:16 GMT

I am trying to enable Process insights and Data governance in Dev environment. I have added "Data Fabric Report Creators" and "Data Governors" group to "Process HQ Users Group". In the required records and event history record security I have added "Data Steward" group.

Is this any setting/prerequisite I am missing to enable Process insights and Data governance in Process HQ?

I have added already myself to Data Grovernance, Data Stewart and Process HQ User Group.What else can be the problem ?

RE: How to enable Process insights and Data Governance in Process HQ?

Harsha Sharma — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 12:48:20 GMT

To enable Data Governance add yourself or appropriate users to the Data Governors group.

To enable Process Insights The user should be in the Process HQ Users System Group.

RE: ADD PROCESS button is not visible in Process HQ

Shubham Aware — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 12:02:40 GMT

You need to be a Data Steward,
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/grant-workspace-access.html#assign-data-stewards

Also i can see you don't have access to data governance to manage which record types can be used in Process HQ.
