So, I need to use visibility/showWhen to display a dropdown if a certain choice of radio button is selected. The format is kind of like this, the two dropdowns are supposed to be hidden until 'Yes' is selected in the group of the second radio buttons. This is currently the code I have. I'm still fairly new to Appian and trying to figure things out! I have experience w/Python/C#/Vis Basic so explaining in those terms could be helpful as well if( a!radioButtonField(choiceLabels: "Yes"), showWhen:true()

Hi everyone! I'm a product manager at Appian and our team is working on measuring which recent features have helped you the most in Appian, what's still slowing you down, etc. If you have 5 minutes to spare, we would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey--thank you! 

I have a process model and interface set up so when user clicks save and continue it exits the form to write to DB then a XOR gate that checks the user action, if it's save & continue it loops back to the interface. All of the nodes are activity chained. But for some reason it keeps exiting out of the interface instead of just loading it back up. Could it be because there are a lot of writes to database so it's delaying the loop back? I do have less than 50 nodes.

when having the nested cdts a foreign key relationship is established what will be default cascade behaviour is? 

Appian version 21.3 When I create new membership rule to add users whose Address 2 starts with [ it return error: HTTP Code: 500 I found below error message in tomcat-stdOut.log ERROR com.appiancorp.rest.shared.AppianExceptionMapper - Internal Server Error on REST API invocation. com.appiancorp.exceptions.LocalizedAppianRuntimeException$LocalizedAppianException: Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 0D1P8RZE] : [valid:false,syntaxError:false,value:Expression evaluation error: An error occurred while executing a save: com.appian.komodo.api.exceptions.ConnectionClosedException: The connection to the engine was closed] (APNX-1-4198-000)

I have this checkbox when checked sets the priority on the case. Currently the value is defaulted to 0. When its set the value updates from 0 to 100 and I should be able to check the value and if its 100 when the end user returns they will see the box is checked and can uncheck it to reset the case value back to 0. Currently I have the functionality of setting/saving the value updating the case all working with a process model. Even when they return they can check the box again and it will set the value back to 0. But I cannot figure out how to keep the box checked like the screenshot when the end user returns. It’s always unchecked. local!choices: if(local!case.priorityRank > 0, 0, 100), local!updatePriorityRank: null, a!sectionLayout( label: "", contents: { a!sectionLayout( label: "Case Priority", contents: { a!checkboxField( label: "", choiceLabels: {"Priority"}, choiceValues: {local!choices},

Hi, I'm new to Appian technology, but I arrive from a different BPM. In Appian for more processes, I need to have an organization chart where there are offices and people that respond from request made by different people, In my example, people from office 1 respond to requests by office A, but for a specific human task activity is assigned to the first level manager, in our example is the CFO, but if the request is open from Office B the request must go to Office 3 and CTO. the hierarchy of the company is very large, is there a smart way to create logic or do I need to create groups and subgroups for each office?

Hi all We have a requirement to generate barcodes (EAN and ITF) images - we have the barcode numbers and all other related data. Does anyone have a useable API or plugin (the barcode utilities plugin has not been updated in over 5 years so a bit fearful of using it)

Hi, we recently update our version of Appian to 22.2 and I realized that in the Appian process modeler we can not see the Data Tab and Data Function anymore. That was very useful to see which variables we have in the process or to quickly look for functions without memorizing that. Thus, I ask, do they disable this feature in this new version, or do we have to activate that in some way? In the Documentation I've seen that they actually provide this feature: But this is what I have in my environment: Thank you for helping, regards.

Is there a way to get base64 for a given document? I have a Expression rule where one of the rule inputs is a document. I'm using this Expression rule to prepare the body to be sent in one Integration object (we need to execute some logic, and that's the reason why we are doing it in one ER). How can I get the base64? We know that we can manage it by adding a rule input in that integration object, and passing there the document which will be automatically converted to base64, but the approach mentioned above is possible? Thanks in advance

Would like to see Appian add a feature where we could setup an audible validation.  For example, we have a data collection application where the user uses a handheld scanner to scan a part number, which returns the item description and unit of measure then they can scan a qty for inventory.  It would be great if you could set it up to play a tone if the part number was not found.  I have it set up to display a message, but if the user is not looking at the screen after each scan then they won't see the message. I am looking into the scanner hardware to see if there is a function I can use, but doubtful.

Hi there. We have an issue we have been unable to resolve with Appian's default task notifications. We want the "View Task" button from the notification email to send the user to the task on one of our sites rather than through Tempo. We have been able to accomplish this in a couple of our environments by setting the default user start page to: "">our-environment-name.appiancloud.com/.../our-site-page" with a couple others sites set up for specific groups. We have tried the same thing for another one of our environments, but no matter what we've tried with specific groups and default sites, all the task notifications are sending users to the tasks in Tempo rather than the site. We've tried comparing settings across the environments to spot the differences to see why it is working in one place but not the other, but we haven't been successful yet. Is there some other setting that we've missed?

so lets say clothesType is declared as string in db. in a rule, i am iterating over this variable using for each loop. the problem is i can't declare the clothesType as an array as it would affect existing functionality. If i could, it would solve the problem. So, are there any built in appian functions that i can use to run a for each loop over a value that is accepting one value only?

I would like to include Navigation bar as it is described in Navigation Patterns. To make it flexible and to be able to assign particular navigation entry to different users I would like to store in table A all NAV Section (id, name, icon and rule name) and in Table B - userToNavigation mapping. In table B i will store userid, tableAId.  I don't want to list all Navigation sections and then all rules/section as it is in example. I would like based on userToNavigation mapping display proper interface. In other words i need Appian to understand rule saved in table as text to be recognized as proper interface (rule!interface) https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/navigation-patterns.html
