Is there a way to use ReactJS UI components in Appian?

Hi there, right now in Appian what I know is that if we need to go to certain record, we have to keep clicking ">" until we get there.  Could anyone let me know how to implement the page drop down, so we can directly get to the record by choosing the page?   Regards, Lin

Hi All, I have multiple sections where the user can upload document and for each section we have "add document" button like below, I have to validate for document size if it is more than 10MB,and this validation is for add document button.I am not getting how to validate the document based on index using fv!files. Because of this,if user adds more than 10MB in 1st sec and adds less than 10 MB in 2nd sec,for both section it validates for "Add Document" button. Please help me how to resolve this.

Where to set reply-to in send email smart service?

Hi Appian People! I have this code that split the value inside the CDT. So for example I have a CTD: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}T_Sample'(  name: "Person",   place: "City1,City2,City3"   ) When splitting the value, the output should be like this in an array form: Expected: ["Person"; "City1,City2, City3"] But the actual result I got is:  ["Person"; "City1"; "City2; "City3"] the place where split in different index where it shouldn't be. This is my current code local!splittedCDT:split( stripwith( tostring( ri!cdtVal ), "[] " ), "," ) local!updatedVal: a!forEach( items: local!splittedCDT, expression: replace(fv!item, 0, find("=", fv!item, 0), "") ), Is anyone could help me with this? Thank You ahead.

Can anyone please tell what does value column denotes for row 2 and 3 from the above image(Appian Health Check Report). In row two value is mentioned as 616383, Is that something related to total memory consumed or something else?

Hi, I am using a Navigation (Lightweight) pattern. When the user clicks on the left menu for example 2nd menu item, I am able to load the respective page. But, when I try to save the data on the 2nd menu item page, after saving it is loading the first menu item page. It is not staying in the same page. Any advises here please.

I have an interface with some dropdowns  The idea is the user selects a drop down which then informs the next drop down list.i.e. drop down one changes the list shown in dropdown two - thats fine and working well,The issue I appear to be having is getting the rule input value to change at the same time for the second drop down (values are expression rule driven) it appears to only update a step late for example if the user selects xyz and this is value of 27 then the ruleInput value will not update until the user changes the selected value to say abc with a value of 88 and then the rule input updates to 27!!! My real annoyance with this is the local variables show the correct values which means that for whatever reason this is not being pulled into the Rule Input at the same time!!!I have taken the time to reconstruct this issue without any specifics below: - Rule inputs: "dropOneRI" as in int"dropTwoRI" as an int"problem" as an int a!localVariab

I know that Appian may not be the best environment for this, but I'm wondering if this is possible. It is possible to create a simple shopping site using Appian? The table design is simple enough: CATEGORY- categoryId- name- description ITEMS- itemId- name- description- price LOOKUP_CATEGORY_ITEM- itemId- categoryId CUSTOMER- customerId- firstName- lastName- street1- street2- city- state- phone- email CART- customerId- itemId I've done this many times before in different languages/environments.This has MANY TO MANY, MANY TO ONE, aggregations and design/ui considerations with this project.I've deliberately ignored the payment portion/part of the project.  

Hi sample Input : {a,b,c},{100,200,300} sample output : a-100,a-200,a-300,b-100,b-200,b-300,c-100,c-200,c-300

I have a condition where i wanted to do null check if either of the IDs are null it shoudn't write to database. I am using this code in task output. remove( wherecontains( or(a!isNullOrEmpty(pv!primaryId)), a!isNullOrEmpty(pv!selected) rule!NV_constructCDT( formId: pv!form.FormId, primaryId: pv!primaryId, secIds: pv!selected, ), )) Do you have any ideas to optimize this implementation? Thank you

Zuuuup, people ! So, I'm trying to execute a process in background when a user does click a button, for example. Wanna execute it without leave the page or open a new one. For now, we're using a startProcessLink and this behavior leads user to a page that goes back to home page. Any idea to manager this situation?

in an a!imageField() is there a way to remove the white border that is put around the image when it's put in the interface? 

Previously we were using a hyperlink as a record link to open up a summary view,as per the  customer's requirement the design has been restructured (not using record and record link)and currently we are using dynamic link as a hyperlink to open up a summary interface.The Problem here is that,when we use appian's inbuilt export functionality, as we are not using the record link as a hyperlink,it is just appearing as a text instead of link.Is there is any other suggestion you would give here in order to get back that link in the exported data?

As the subject line says, I've noticed recently that default in Data Input fields in different smart service nodes, the "Save Into" fields are now disabled, and this is not how the behavior worked in the past. I'm creating this thread here today because I finally noticed a place in our system where this is a bit of a blocker.  There are nodes where this was configured in the past and is now not even changeable. As you may be able to tell from the above screenshot, the "new process variable" control is NOT disabled here (but the output-selector dropdown arrow is, even though you can't tell visually).  Clicking on New PV allows you to save that input's value into that new PV, but then that output target is stuck and not changeable again (unless perhaps by adding a redundant new PV again). This really seems like a bug - if this was an intentional change then I certainly don't remember seeing any announcement for it, or mention in any of t

The task priority for the User Input Task must go to the correct outflow. But it keeps on going to bottom one ( the High Priority one ), even though I set the priority to Low. How do I configure this so that once the script task has executed, it goes to the correct outflow? Is my output correct? And this is my interface : 

I am using the Write Records smart service in a process model to take the results of a stored procedure (using the Execute Stored Procedure smart service) and update a record and the source table. When I run the process model I get the error "The input "Records" cannot contain multiple records of the same type with the same identifier". In a separate expression rule I have called the same stored procedure, tested the data and verified that there are no duplicate ids created by the expression in the id field. Can anyone tell me why Appian is giving me this error? I have attached the contents of the Records input field in the Write Records smart service.  pv!equipDataModified is a list of map with fields "equipNum", "serviceDays", and "serviceDaysPast" Thanks in advance!

HI, I am working on a daily log kind of project. So i need to 1. Take the start time and end time and calculate the number of minutes between them. eg. 6:15 am  to 8:15 am -> 120 minutes. I tried using the function  minute( todatetime(endTime)-todatetime(startTime) ) but this works only till 60 minutes. i.e. 6:15 am to 7:15 am ->0 min.  Should give 60 mins Also 2. is there any way i can only take the time as input? I have to use a!dateTimeField() Where as i dont want to get concerned with date.  Once the datetime is entered, i can use totime to get only the time. But i want the input itself to be time and not datetime.

My client's requirement is to have multiple cascading filters for grid field and record doesn't support passing filter values from one user filter to another, so we are using manual filters. Hence, using OOTB record is not possible in my scenario and they want to implement the "Save Filter As" like in record as well. Please guide for efficient possible approaches available.

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Form Layout and Section Layout. Mainly, is there any reason to use a Form Layout over a Section Layout? I've been using Section Layout because I seem to be able to do everything I need with it. I understand the notion of "well, if it works for what you need, then use it". I also understand that we have the ability to nest Section Layouts (which is one main reason why I use them), but not Form Layout. However, I still continue to wonder what the actual purpose of Form Layout is for. If there is a downside to using Section Layout in lieu of Form Layout.
