Hi yusuf,there is a lot of information missing to support you suitable. What is the target?What kind of data?`what kind of chart? What kind of services do you use to read the data?
Hi Rechard,
I have a template of word file that consist a chart as the figure below.
I used "MS Word 2007 Doc from Template" to replace the label of the chart. but when I tried to replace the data same as the labels it's not passed, my target to pass the data of the chart from the process model to the word template.
I already have the data, but my goal to pass the this data to the chart.
Thank you
I think, your issue is, that the node "MS Word 2007 Doc from Template" can't really adress this Word feature properly. What is your overall scenario? why not using an appian report for example? do you need to export it?
Can we convert the charts in the interface in report then convert it again to an image?
because my task to have a chart with specific colors.
Just because of colors? There is no sensfule effort/effect ratio here in my opinion.Is there really nothing suitable provided by appian?https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Chart_Color_Scheme.html
You can even create your own color scheme:
docs.appian.com/.../Chart_Custom_Color_Scheme_Component.html
this can done in interface, can it be done in the process model and convert it to image?
Thanks for your help
why do you need to export it? Why not using an appian report? What is the reason for exporting it?
I have task to attach a colored chart as an image to the word template, because of that
but WHY do you need to attach it? Whats the advantage of doing it via word template? Why using a word template? your data seems to be in appian and it seems you try to export the data in your word template. -> why?
the task is to generate report for each item, so I need to convert the chart to image after that attached in the word template
there is now way to do it like this? or even attach the chart directly?
Report for each items sounds bizarre. but can be dealt with on a proper designed appian report.I would really recommend trying to convice the stakeholder working just in appian if its somewhat possible. Appian provides so many good reporting possibilities. Usually there is no need to export word documents. if you check here:https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Smart_Services.htmlThere is just the "Word Doc from Template Smart Service" available.https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Word_Doc_from_Template_Smart_Service.htmlBut i am no expert for this node.
