Hey Everyone, Im trying to embed a powerBI into one of our Appian apps. Considering that this report has to be exposed to users who might not have powerBI licenses there is a way to expose it externally within an application by using "Embed for your customers" feature.  Understanding the different embedding solutions in Power BI embedded analytics | Microsoft Learn     This means that the only potential obstacle is Appian. I have observed that the webComponent in Appian appears to be unable to pass any data, including tokens (it can only accept url). Is there any other way for implementing such functionality? I believe that creating our own custom plugin might be an option although I dont have enough expertiese in it yet to make that judgement. Would custom plugin be able to achieve this requirement or is there any other easier way in Appian to do the same? I had a look at some existing powerBI plugins but they dont seem to be for "Embed for

Hi All, I am trying to send a document to external system that accepts form-data. I am using the content type "Multipart Form Data (multipart/form-data)". I would like to change the file name only for the integration call (without renaming the document in Appian). However, Appian automatically sends the document with its document name, not able to update/rename the file name.  Is there a way to override the filename in the request? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where I need to generate quote PDFs that include both dynamic data and images. I’m currently using Advanced Document Templating (DOCX from dynamic template → PDF from DOCX), and while the DOCX file looks great with the images inserted, I’m running into alignment issues when converting it to PDF — the layout shifts and the formatting isn’t consistent. Has anyone else faced this kind of issue with images during the DOCX-to-PDF conversion? Also, I’m wondering if HTML to PDF might be a better approach for this use case. If so, does anyone know how I can include images from Appian document folders in the HTML content? I need to add them dynamically, similar to how I’m doing it with DOCX templates. Any suggestions, experiences, or tips would be really helpful! Thanks in advance!

I'm a senior application designer and developer with educated skills on classical Windows client-server applications. Honestly, I just started my learning path in Appian. Our use case: We have a well developed and stable running legacy application that uses a MS SQL Server 2019 as database backend. We want to "migrate" some business processes covered by the legacy app to Appian (cloud) as a showcase and proof of concept for our customers (at the first step no productive environment). The Appian application should use the data from the existing SQL Server database on our demo server. I already created a "Connected System" object that successfully connects to our SQL Server via JDBC. For setting this up I was using the SQL Server data source type and the JDBC connection string:jdbc:sqlserver://<our server public ip>:1433;databasename=<our database name>. The user and password properties are set to a valid SQL Server login that owns the target sche

Are there any plug-ins available to run the given commands on the Appian server level?A little background on the requirement, we are maintaining an on-premise Appian instance and whenever we need to un-archive processes we need admin's help in executing the necessary commands on the server level.We are thinking of automating that , for that we are checking, if there are any plug-in's available which can execute the user given commands on the server level. Thanks in Advance.

I need to create a dynamic DOCX document that includes a table with 12 columns, where each column automatically adjusts its width. Already I create the same but able to showing only 8 columns. The remaining 3 columns exceed the page width, so they aren't visible, although I have not define width anywhere in the code. Please help me to fix it.

Hi,  I'm researching about the plug-ins development and I've seen in the documentation that a local installation of Appian is required to develop and test any type of plug-in. For instance, in this page it says the following:  "In order to individually build a custom smart service plug-in, a licensed local installation of Appian is required. Appian Cloud customers who have a local installation must develop and test the custom smart service locally and coordinate with Appian Technical Support to deploy it on their site." Why is a local installation necessary? Is it because the Appian JAR (<APPIAN_HOME>/_admin/sdk/appian-plug-in-sdk.jar) has to be added as an external dependency in the IDE? The JAR file can only be obtained from a local installation? Thanks in advance

hi,  I been exploring End user reporting plugin the lower environments, While working in UAT, I came to know that record types configuration needs to be done in dev and then pushed to UAT.
