Has anyone successfully installed Appian on a Mac that uses the M1 Chip (Apple Silicon)? Currently I am having an issue as the Dockerfiile is using centos7 which is created for Intel chips, and its resulting an error because of the M1.  Getting this error when doing a docker-compose build: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: no match for platform in manifest sha256:691c55aabb3c4e3b89b953dd2f022f7ea845e5443954767d321d5f5fa394e28c: not found Another example of the error: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67911250/cant-build-docker-compose-on-m1-chipset  I know this is not an Appian issue but anyone that has been through the same thing and managed to find a solution would help a lot!

I only want the process model to run when the user clicks the button or link.I have tried a!startprocess with success: but im not sure how to get the url opened in a new tab. It successfully runs the process but nothing else seems to happen.Trying various things on the OnSuccess. Httpreponse etc

Hi, I have a requirement, where invoice documents from multiple vendors will be sent to Appian as a single PDF (page number around 250 - 300) file. As the invoice documents for each vendor needs to be processed using IDP, we need to split the PDF document into multiple PDFs. The pages for each vendor invoice documents will not be static, it can vary depending upon the content on the documents.  Kindly share your thoughts on how to proceed with splitting the PDF file to send them further for processing.

I want to use the function numprocessesforprocessmodelforstatus(id, status, includeSubProcessData), but I don't understand how to get the ID of the process model I want to reference. The documentation doesn't give an example that incorporates fetching the ID of a model, the example just says "numprocessesforprocessmodelforstatus(processModelId,"completed")" but doesn't explain how to get the id. The documentation has been giving me a headache since day one. If I look up "process model id" I get zero results in the documentation search.

{1,2,3}, {56,76,54,32}, {12,23,45,54,32,54}, {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, {8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15} Please suggest how do this using foreach function get output like this,  "length of array 1 is 3" "length of array 2 is 4" "length of array 3 is 6" "length of array 4 is 7" "length of array 5 is 8"

Hi all, we've been confronted to a strange case. For a better understanding we've reproduced the behavior in a expression rule : if({ 1 } = 1, { 2, 3, 4 }, {}) returns 2. Obviously, comparing a list with an integer is the error here. But, then, the result should be either the empty list or null or an error message. For more fun, you can test : if({true, false, true},{2,4,6},{3,5,7}) In our mind, a type error should be returned. Regards.

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement where i can reuse local variable array. For Example a!localvariable( local!iterations:{1,2,3}, local!value, a!foreach( items:local!iterations, expression{ append( local!value, fv!index )})) The output i need is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 1 2 3rd Iteration 1 2 3 But the output the code is generating is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 2 3rd Iteration 3. I thought that local variable should be append with the value and  can use for next iteration but it is initializing every time with null value rather than appendvalue. Could you please help me to get the output i need Thanks In Advance!!!

Hi There, We have a requirement to show each detail on new line in Hierarchy Tree Component. Fo example in the below attachement when we hover the cursor each detail coming on new line since we used char(10).  However, we would need to show the same way on the node itself without hovering the cursor. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you.

My process models were developed and tested when Primary (and the only) Locale was English (US) by default. I now need to change the Primary Locale to English (UK) - to get the dates appearing in correct format (as I am in New Zealand, and here we use date format as dd/mm/yyyy; and not the American mm/dd/yyyy format). When I change my Primary Locale to "English (UK)" - the date formats work well; but my Process Model names are showing as "???".  I do understand that somehow I need to redefine Process Model names in the new English (UK) language (which BTW seems strange, as the process model names would be exactly same in these two "languages" :-) ). However, I don't know how to do it. Are there any other properties that I need to update for the new locale? Any thoughts, for a proper solution to this?  Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,  One of the process models that I'm working on is using a Timer Event node, which is having a scheduled delay setting as shown below: (the constant returns 2 (integer)) I think the node supposes to delay for 2 minutes, then will activate the next node (Merge document) to run.  However, this Delay node has stuck there for much longer than 2 minutes, and when I check Process History, the node is Cancel.  The Merge Document node does not have any setting for Scheduling either I haven't worked with Timer Event before, and couldn't find the reason for this behaviour from documentation. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot,

I have a grid (in SAIL) that displays a number of rows.  When one row is selected, the details for that row are displayed below.  Any edits the user makes to the details need to flow back to the grid and be displayed.  This grid is not tied to a record set, but CDT data obtained from other parts of my application.  NOTE:  An editable grid will not work for my scenario. A greatly simplified version of my need is.... a!localVariables( local!data: { { name: "Springs", qty: 4, unitCost: 1.27 }, { name: "Sprockets", qty: 1, unitCost: 2.50 }, { name: "Gears", qty: 7, unitCost: 1.98 } }, local!selection: null, { a!sectionLayout( label: "Order Summary", contents: a!gridField( data: local!data, columns: { a!gridColumn(label: "Qty", value: fv!row.qty), a!gridColumn(label: "Item Name", value: fv!row.name), a!gridColumn(label: "Unit Cost", value: fv!row.unitCost), a!gridColumn(labe
