We have requirement to automate Regression suit with end to end functionality testing of workflow.What could be the possibility with On premise version without having any Appian provided AI features etc.  

Hello, I am working on an automation process where I use Appian RPA to login to a website and download an excel file (XLS format).My initial plan was to use “Import Excel to Database” smart service (Excel Tools plugin) to import the data directly into the required table. Unfortunately, this is not working as this smart service only works on XLSX and not XLS.  I then tried converting XLS to CSV and then use “Import CSV to Database” smart service (Excel Tools plugin). But even here the file type allowed in XLSX.  Finally, since I have Appian RPA in the scene, I tried opening the excel using “Open Workbook” operation and use “Save Workbook As” operation to convert it into an XLSX file. But this was only changing the name of the file and not the type.Can anyone point me in the direction that I should be taking in Appian to get the data from the XLS file into the database table? Regards,Deepak 

Hi Everyone,I’m doing some hands on practice by myself, where I face some issues while mapping the record type into a PV. As per the documentation it says we can map record type as PV however when I’m searching my record type while configuring the pv, I’m not seeing my record type. Can someone clarify and guide me whether the action which I’m doing is correct or wrong. Please refer to the SS I have attached. 1st one is my record type. 

Hello,I would like to ask about passing context information from a shared interface to a Record Action create form.BackgroundWe have a common Record Type that is shared and used by multiple applications.We created a common maintenance interface for this Record Type.  Interface: COMMON_recordTypeMaintEach application embeds this common interface to manage its own records.  Interface: APP_recordTypeMaintFor example:  COMMON_recordTypeMaint(    appName: "APP1"  )The calling application passes its application name (appName) to the common interface.RequirementWithin COMMON_recordTypeMaint, users can create, update, and delete records.When a user clicks Create, a Record Action is used to open the create form for the Record Type.The Record Type contains an appName field, and we would like this field to be automatically populated with the appName value that was passed from the calling application.For example:APP_recordTypeMaint↓XCOMMON_recordTypeMaint(appName: "APP1")↓Create Record Action↓Crea

Hi, We are facing a production issue in an application with a large volume of data. We display case counts using Expression Rules (ERs) and category-wise metrics using a Record Type-based Bar Chart. Although we apply filters on a few columns, when users select a 1-year date range, the queries process a significant amount of data and the ERs fail with:"Memory threshold reached during output conversion"The bar chart performance is also impacted due to the large dataset. We are looking for best practices to handle large-scale reporting and dashboard aggregation in Appian. Has anyone implemented an effective approach for such scenarios in production? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have worked across various applications. In my first application, we had 2,3 query rules for same record type but each serving a different purpose depending upon the field being queried or the amount of data being passed. In another project, we have a generic rule for each record type which is being used whenever we want to query the data. In one more project, I have seen only one generic rule being used for all record types which in turn means even the record type is being passed dynamically. I want to understand which approach makes more sense, pros and cons and do we really need to modularize everything this much.

We have tried implementing google reCaptcha in our portal,The google recaptcha connection is successful,We have used verifyRecaptcha and tested , it doesn't tally with the scores which we provide in the conditions on success or error,   We tried to find the score value by creating a table and writing the fv!score to the db through start process on success of verifyRecaptcha.   Is there any way to find the score values, Could anyone help to get the recaptcha working in appian portal

I am using “Style Text Editor “ Field for one of the input field and set the character limit to 4000 .It is showing validation for 99 percent itself that It has reached the maximum limit.May I know Why it is happening like this and how the bolded/Italic values consumes the field characters and showing the warning without reaching 100 percent.How this issue can be resolved?

What is the maximum number of nodes we can use between 2 attended nodes?

HI, Looking for some help, we are using richTextFieldWithTables plugin  to show HTML data inside an interface, this richTextFieldWithTables is inside a cardLayout as the section may repeat multiple times.Production users complained that the application is not showing completed data, it is appearing like below for them, please observe last word “Thanks”. In Dev environment it is working correctly, if anyone has faced similar issue or knows any steps to troubleshoot this it would be very helpful.I have already looked into online troubleshoot steps and everything looks fine as per it. 

 Hi all,During ongoing development, external application contents were accidentally added into a main application container using the add application contents option, significantly inflating the object count with foreign components and shared utilities.Before proceeding with cleanup, the goal is to confirm whether filtering by foreign prefixes and selecting "Remove from Application" solely detaches the container tag without altering published rules, impacting runtime execution for dependent models, or interfering with active changes in the environment.Note that there isn't a direct "Remove Application from Application" option available to undo this action in bulk. Any guidance on the safest workflow to prune these bulk-associated objects would be appreciated.Thanks!  

My use case is that I want to kick users out of a form like the timer exceptions, but I want to do it based on the time after their latest activity - e.g if the user is actively filling out a longer form, I don’t want to kick them out, but if they linger on the form for 15 minutes without any updates, I want to kick them out.Timer exceptions on user input tasks seem to start when the user first enters the form, which would not work in my use case since there’s a chance that after 15 minutes, the user is still actively working on the form. What’s the best way to approach this? I can create a refresh always timer to track user activity on the interface, but once that timer is up, I am not sure how to forcibly remove them from the task, or write to task table to unlock the task from the backend.

Hi,Here is the scenario I am facing:I open an Expression Rule and implement my logic. I add several test cases to validate the expected behavior. I save the Expression Rule, which creates version 18. Later, I modify the Expression Rule code and save it again, which creates version 19. When version 19 is created, I can see that the test cases from version 18 are available in the new version.Could you please explain why, when I delete version 18 and refresh the latest version, all my test cases are lost?I would expect the test cases to be kept in version 19 since they were automatically carried over when the new version was created.I tried this on many ERs and observed the same behavior.Regards

I have added some fields to the user interface (UI) and marked those fields as required. The UI that includes these fields has been merged with another UI. This combined UI is then linked to another UI that contains a "save" button. In the "save" button, I have set the validation parameter to true. However, after clicking the save button, the validation for the required fields is not being displayed.

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing this odd behaviour with this specific dataset. The other start processes within the platform are running just fine! The log does not provide me any useful info also.  This is my input example. The start process will run in MNI for each set of input. Sometimes parent process stopped because of this error: Failed to start process. Process Model ID: ButI open the sub-process it run till the end.The parent process will run sub-process for each pv!relationshipToUpdate. Process parameters are provided like below: Below is my pv!relationshipToUpdate example. {a!map(fileId: "FILE_GUID_001",relationshipToRemove: null,relationshipsToAdd: a!map(entityId: "ENTITY_001",entityType: "REFERENCE"),approvalNeeded: false,addRemovalNote: false,documentDescription: "Sample Document 1.pdf",updatedRelationships: {a!map(entityId: "CLIENT_001", entityType: "CLIENT"),a!map(entityId: "EVENT_001", entityType: "EVENT"),a!map(entityId: "CASE_001", entityType: "CASE")}),a!map(fileId: "F

I'm planning to create some reusable components in Appian. I've already built several, including reusable forms, page headers, message banners, empty state (no data) screens, date and currency formatting utilities, and a few others. Can anyone suggest additional reusable components, patterns, or expression rules that would be useful across most Appian applications?

Hi Appian Community, wanted to see if anyone has this setup of being an Appian Cloud customer and has email server setup with Microsoft 365 cloud SMTP relay, specifically for outbound emails from Appian → External Recipients?I am able to receive outbound emails from the Appian platform with my organization’s internal email addresses. The problem is when testing by sending to external email addresses (both business email addresses, tested by sending to @microsoft.com and personal email addresses, tested by sending to @gmail.com and @hotmail.com). They failed with 2 different error messages from the STDout log: Error 1 (Attempt to send to external business emails): 451 4.4.62 Mail sent to the wrong Office 365 region. ATTR35.

Hey all! I'm sharing the Appian interface I recently built to give better visibility into the system's recent internal Login Audit files (instead of constantly downloading and opening CSV files) - particularly helpful if you're an O&M user and/or diagnosing login issues for any other reason. This interface relies on the Log Reader plug-in (and also uses the Date and Time Utilites plug-in for a certain transform on timestamps).  That said, I can't say how it'll perform on multi-server environments, since I don't have one to try it on. The entire interface is self-contained, with the sole exception of a custom rule I wrote that utilizes the internal "User" record to take an entered username and get the system's properly-cased username (since there is some inconsistent case sensitivity around usernames and there's no other way I could come up with to tell what the 'real' version is).  I'll include that expression rule co
