 I have a question regarding Activity Chaining? 
 Activity Chaining is useful only for User input task to show synchronosly or any other reason?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Activity Chaining</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/129402?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Feb 2024 04:51:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:3b2a37b3-8ca1-4748-9d9c-6a3603dcb980</guid><dc:creator>EugeniaYoung</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the info, I also want to know it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Activity Chaining</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/129051?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Feb 2024 20:19:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:5e0c64da-bad4-43bc-a7d6-66610b0d20a4</guid><dc:creator>Abhay Dalsaniya</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Few more:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Using chaining you can override assignment for the next attended activity even if the current user is not an assignee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;C&lt;span&gt;haining&amp;nbsp;a&lt;/span&gt;llows users to step back to current node from the next chained activity (if the option is selected).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Activity Chaining</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/128341?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jan 2024 06:43:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:2c6a5700-84cd-47d2-bace-a580489c5b59</guid><dc:creator>Harshit Bumb (Appyzie)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;For my ease of understanding, I categorize them as foreground (chaining) and background (no chaining). In case you want something to happen while you wait for it and want to see the result, you add the chaining.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Activity Chaining</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/128320?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jan 2024 23:56:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e45f844c-6445-4d92-a977-9c1aa6a50245</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Chaining is also useful for on-interface calls of a!startProcess() if you need to get the data resulting from any part of the process to pass back onto your form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Activity Chaining</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/128319?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:20:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:9721d177-35e6-446d-856d-7890597b8e24</guid><dc:creator>Mathieu Drouin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;IMO, activity chaining should be used for either API requests or interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For APIs, it&amp;#39;s mostly because you might need a certain amount of nodes to complete to be able to return values to the person calling the API.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On interfaces, you usually chain database writes to ensure that when you refresh the screen, the values are displayed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
