How can I remove the gap between my interface header and the menu ribbon of my Site?

Can you post a sample of your SAIL code?

Thanks,

Here's the SAIL code:

a!localVariables(

  a!headerContentLayout(
    header: {
      a!localVariables(

        local!currentTime: a!refreshVariable(
          value: text(now(), "hh:mm aa"),
          refreshInterval: 0.5
        ),

        local!backgroundColor: "#3d4e66",
        local!recordTitleItem: {
          headerStrong: user("jokieblaise@availsys.com", "firstName"),
          headerStrongStyle: "STRONG",
          headerStrongColor: null,
          headerStrongSize: "LARGE",
          header: user("jokieblaise@availsys.com", "lastName"),
          headerStyle: null,
          headerColor: null,
          headerSize: "LARGE",
          subheaderStyle: null,
          subheaderColor: null,
          subheaderSize: "STANDARD",
          image: a!imageField(
            label: "",
            labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
            images: {
              rule!UIA_userImageWithReplacementAvatar(user: "jokieblaise@availsys.com")
            },
            size: "MEDIUM",
            isThumbnail: false,
            style: "AVATAR"
          )
        },
        local!tagItem: {
          text: "REQUEST START",
          backgroundColor: "#0000ff",
          textcolor: "#ffffff"
        },
        local!items: {
          {
            label: "Grand Energy Request Application",
            value: "Request Form",
          },

          {
            label: text(today(), "dd mmm yyyy"),
            value: local!currentTime,
          }
        },
        rule!CMN_IP_RecordSummaryHeader(
          backgroundColor: local!backgroundColor,
          items: local!items,
          recordTitleItem: local!recordTitleItem
        )
      )
    },
    contents: {}
  )
)

The time is still not refreshing.  Can you check if I missed something in the way I called the refreshVariable?

Make sure you have selected an appropriate site width. You may need to use "Wide" or "Full" to have the header fully flush. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/ux_page_width.html

Yes, setting the page to wide solved the problem.  Thanks

Add another local variable prior to currentTime - just anything, it doesn't matter what.  like "local!spare: "testing"," or something similar.  A bug I identified shortly after 19.2 was released, was that variables with a refresh interval will never update themselves if they're the first declared local variable.  I assume this bug has never been fixed.

Also: if you're declaring a!localVariables at the top-most layer of the interface, you could just put your local!currentTime there, there really isn't a need to put an extra a!localVariables() call inside the headerContentLayout until or unless you specifically need one there.

Bravo!

This worked.

Thanks

+1 the recommendation to consolidate a!localVaraibles for readability

Mike Schmitt The bug you are describing is known, but has not yet been prioritized. To clarify the behavior there though, the variable will not refresh after the initial load only when the value contains `now()` and you are testing in Interface Designer. Testing your interface on a report, site, etc. should work as expected.
