Hi, My requirement is that user can select already uploaded word template document(some substitution keys included in the template already) from a dropdown on a form. After selecting, I have to scan all the substitution keys from the template and show in the grid on the same screen with 2 columns - field name(substitution key) and value(that will replace substitution key). So, after submitting the form, the word document will be populated with those values. I know we can do this from process model with word from template smart service but my requirement is that substitution keys can vary in number. So, I have to get the values from the interface only.

Hi, I have some refresh problems with a Summary View.The View is composed of a dashboard (Record Type A) and a read-only grid (Record Type B). In the dashboard, there is a Customer Record Field (field C) aggregating Record Type B.When I try to add a new record in the grid, the grid updates itself (so chaining should be ok), but field C doesn't unless I force manually the updating.Any suggestions?

Hi, In my Process Model I have a Write Records Smart Service. When I go to the "Data" tab, I see only Pause On Error (Boolean) under the node inputs. I don't see "Records"(any type). When I try to add it manually I see a dialog box saying "The Activity Class Parameter name is already in use". I don't know what to do...

Hi! I´m trying to write records using the a!writeRecords inside an interface. First of all, I save all the values of my editable grid in a local variable (local!LineasPedido), and I checked that, when i fill a number in the grid, the value is saved in the local variable correctly After this, in the button configuration, I added a a!WriteRecords function inside the saveInto parameter of the button My process model is the following one (First I fill some fields in a previous interface, upload the records with the WriteRecords Smart Service in the process) and then I continue filling and updating the PO lines directly from the interface. The interface exposed in which I upload the records directly with the code is marked in red Logically, there is no value for the rule input of the second interface associated with the record type in which I´m saving the values (because I´m doing directly the write records in the interface over the local variable, not passing it to a

Hi All ,It's a very common but very tricky question which I am not able to resolved.Let's say I have 3 Users who are using any Appian Application.They are added in 3 different groups as mentioned below: User 1 : Added in Group A having  Administrator rights.User 2 : Added in Group B having Viewer rights.User 3 : Added in Group C having Editor rights.All these users doesn't have any Designer rights i.e. they are not added in Appian Designer group.So , What would be the difference between the role of these 3 Users.I am not able to get the difference between Administrator, Viewer, Editor rights from End User Perspective who doesn't have Designer AccessIf there are any differences , Please list down all .

I understand that approval from Appian is required to use component plugins, but do I also need approval from Appian for the use of tools to create component plugins?I'm using Appian Cloud, and I couldn't find a detailed description, so please tell me the flow up to the point of creating a component. thank you.

Hi All, We have a date field component in an interface and its taking more number of characters which is not needed. Refer below screenshot. We need to restrict the number of characters to be entered is mm/dd/yyyy i.e., 10. Along with that is there any possibility that we can take only digits as input and datefield will auto apply "/" as per format "mm/dd/yyyy". We dont want the user to type more characters and date component validation fires and display the message. Rather placing restriction makes many things easier. Kindly suggest on the above.

Hi! I have an editable grid in which the user can add new rows. I want a number for each new row generated (1,2...),  and save the value into my local variable (local!LineasPedido). I tried to configure it by two different ways but, even though the "value" appears in the grid, it is not saved correctly in my local data Way1: Way2: In the next image you can see the value is generated, but the column "Linea Pedido" does not appear on the right side My code is the following one: a!localVariables( local!LineasPedido, { a!sectionLayout( label: "LÃ%ADneas Pedido", labelIcon: "list-alt-solid", contents: { a!gridLayout( label: "A continuación, incorpore las lÃ%ADneas de pedido correspondientes y pulse el botón de creación", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Linea Pedido"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Pedido"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Proveedo

Hi all, I have the following requirement.  I have a related action in the application record where I am updating the application details.  I am updating several forms in the application like "Address Details, Educational Details, Experience Details, References etc".  I have separate screens and process models for editing each section. In the Update Application screen, I am displaying these section names and Edit link near the section names.  So when I click the "Edit" link the respective screen opens and I am able to edit the details of that section. The problem I am facing is when I click the edit button, the process opens in a new tab instead of the same tab,  I am using a!startprocesslink to edit the details.  I want the edit process to open in the same tab, and when I finish editing the process, I want to return to the same update application screen.  How can I achieve this? Thanks, Brinda Sateesh

I am generating an excel with Export DSE to EXCEL.The smartservice consults a view with the data ordered by a date field.The result obtained in the smartservice is ordered by id (PK), not by date.How can we order by the date field in this smartservice or collect the records as they are in the view without ordering them by pk?

Hi team, So I have a requirement where in the interface if i click on the product name link in a grid it should go to the summary page interface. But it has to be linked through the process model.  In the image above, the start form is the home interface. but when i start the process from the process model, it is opening a separate tab for the summary page which is not linked through the process model. So the process is still stuck in the start form. How do i configure the drillable link to open the summary page for that particular product using the process model?  And the other thing is, the is a button link in the summary page which is visible only when a certain Boolean rule input is false. how do i set it as false as default in the interface itself? I was able to set the process variable false only in the process model before the process starts.

Hi! I´m making an interface in which the user can add new rows. After filling the price and the quantity, the column "Importe Total" is calculated I would want to save and show the value of the sum of the values in the column "Importe Total", to make a "Total Sum", show this in another cell and save the value into another record (the data of the PO lines are saved in a different record, specific for PO Lines, and the value of the total sum would be saved in a Record of "global" PO) *In the case of the pic, the TotalSum = 200 I leave here pics of the configuration and the code inserted (applied the magic button to order it and make it more readable) 1-Logic of the pxq (Total Importe Column) --> the logic was applied in the "cantidad" and "precio unitario" columns in order to save the value "Importe Total" correctly 2- The entire code: a!localVariables( local!grid, { a!sectionLayout( label

I am getting this response in the integration object when using the connected systems (oauth client credentials)The authorization is successful in the connected system. If I make the request in postman, I get 403, which is correct as I am still fixing the application permissions. It seems as if the integration object was not adding the bearer token to the request.

Hi! I´m trying to make a process in which a document (pdf) is uploaded, then some values are extracted and reconciliated and, finally, those values are saved into a record. By now I managed to create a process until the reconciliation of the document: First of all, the process start form allows the user to upload the document After that, I start the doc extraction and, when it is finished, the user is allow to supervise and reconcile the values which are not correct and "train" the program. By now, this step appears as a task in tempo (I don´t know how to make it appear in the process, by now I have to click into" reconcile doc straction" and "execute the task", manually My doubt here is how to save the values, mapping them with specific columns of a created record. By now I have a data type (general) only with the fields (id factura, nomProveedor, NIF...). 

Hello, I'm running into a rather curious issue with record controls and userfilters on a records interface (a!headerContentLayout). In my first screenshot, the 'Show Search' box, userfilter, export filter options appear normal in desktop, wide-desktop formats, but then all options disappear when viewing in mobile tablet. Also, shrinking the interface in a smaller web browser window does stack the record controls as expected. Any ideas as to why the visible options discrepancy on the tablet format?Screenshot #1 (Desktop View)Thanks,JT

Hi! I have a write records smart service but it gives me the following error: Unable to write to the source because the data source did not respond. Error Details: Field 'a_id' doesn't have a default value What is causing this trouble?

Hi! I have the following editable grid, in which some values are passed from another record and other ones are completed by the user When I run the process model, it seems to work properly, auto-generated values appear and the user completes the rest of values: But after this, the auto-completed values don´t appear in the record! I´m using a WriteRecords function directly in the interface, not in the process model My configuration is the following one: I´m using the fv!item to save the values into the local variables, the appending to create new rows and finally using the writeRecords function. But it fails for the variables in which the value is a rule input from a previous interface (idFactura, idPedido, proveedor). The rest of them are saved correctly. What can I do? Thanks a lot! My code is the following: a!localVariables( local!data, { a!gridLayout( label: "A continuación, incorpore las lÃ%ADneas de factura correspondientes y pulse el botón d

Hi All,  Recently when we are trying to resolve Health Check UI highlighted issues for our application we got one Yellow warning as "Array of primitive type detected"There is one CDTtype!TEST_CDT( id, name, documentId ) <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="documentId" type="xsd:int"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Column(name="document_id", nullable=false, columnDefinition="INT(11)")</xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:element>This document is mapped as Number(Integer) and is Array, which is giving the above warning. ISSUE: When I am checking the database the table does not have this column and still data store verification is being passed. Values are being stored in this variable and are being queried too. I am not able to understand how this column is not present in database and still mapped in CDT.

Hello, I recently came across the issue of putting in all of my rule input values that I need for my editable grid to have my interface working.  What happens is that I go to save after entering the rule input values in and when I reload the interface I get an error at the top. Also, my rule input values go back to null. What is the reason for this? Is there some sort of mapping step with the data that has been missed? Sorry if this is a dumb question or has been answered before, I tried searching for other threads with the same issue but didn't find anything if it is out there. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Community, I am working on a form where employees enter all their basic details and also upload a profile picture of them. These employees already have an Appian user account. My requirement is to update the profile pic document ID in a database table and also update that particular user's profile picture in Appian. Since Update User Profile Smart Service doesn't have the option to update the profile picture of an user, I searched in App market and came across a third party plugin named "User Profile Picture Utilities" but it is not working as expected. When added it to process model, it runs fine without any error but the profile picture of the user is not updated. Is there any other way to change the Profile picture of Appian user account other than smart services? Also, I would like to know if there is an option to disable the Profile section for users (Please refer to the attached image)? Thanks in Advance!
