HI ,  we are planning for the migration from on-premise to appian cloud instance . In analysis , we came across one question : currently the each request to appian is identified by process Id(generated by appian) for the status or follow-up. on the request. Since we are planning to migrate to cloud instance . will there be any case where the process Id can repeat for new request to appian after migration ?

I want to create an link which should redirect to process activity apart from any environment dependency? is there any function?

HI All ,  I am trying to select the value in a readonly grid by select all and deselect all functionality in a grid . I am not able to achieve this . below is the snippet of my code . please help me  out . a!localVariables( local!data1: { { name: "Java" }, { name: "Python" } }, local!selectedRowData, local!pageSize: 25, local!defaultActivityPaging: a!pagingInfo( 1, local!pageSize, a!sortInfo("name", true) ), local!activityPaging: local!defaultActivityPaging, local!gridselectedsNumber, local!selection, local!isDeselectAllDisabled: or( length(local!data1) > 100, a!isNullOrEmpty(local!selection) ), local!isSelectAllDisabled: or( length(local!data1) > 100, length(local!data1) = 0 ), { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( value: { a!richTextIcon( icon: "question-circle", capti

I have a requirement where user A submits some task to user B for approval. But I won't be able to use OOTB task report here for user B to accept that task for approval. I need to provide a link to that task in my custom UI which opens that task. I know processTaskLink() and task ID is needed and we can store that in our db and then query the task ID associated with that record to generate the link to task for that record for approval. But, I am not able to figure out that how can I store the user input task ID to my db once it's active, if I put write to ds before then UI task is not active yet so no value and there is no point of putting after it as well because until unless task is completed by user that write won't run which doesn't makes any sense then. Because the link to open that same task will be generated after querying task id from db only. Correct me if I am thinking wrong approach and suggest some way to achieve the above functionality, not to mention again

Question - whether activity chaining is followed in start process smart service or not? The start process smart service calls the child process asynchronously and in asynchronous call the parent process does not wait for child process to complete . In documentation , it is mentioned that it followed, but their is condition that, " Will follow chaining in the new process until chaining ends, then the parent process resumes (even if the new process has not finished) ".  I tried so many times,  but every time it did not follow the activity chaining . I'm in confusion, whether the activity chaining is followed or not ? if start process smart service follow the activity chaining (as it is mentioned in documentation).then please give an example so it will be helpful to understand and in what cases it follow the activity chaining? Thankyou 

Hi, I've been trying to convert datetime from any set time zone to ET. Like, if in my profile settings I've time zone set as GMT, I'm using the below code, and its working fine for GMT to ET conversion, but if I'm going with MDT or IST, it's not returning the current time as per ET. Does any one happen to know how I could achieve this conversion from all time zones to EST ? datetext( local( ri!datetime, "America/New_York" ), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a" ) & " ET"

Is it possible to place a text field within a paragraph of instructions? Specifically, I'd like to recreate this in Appian:  It would look something like this ideally:    That image is edited in a photo editor to display my intentions. I understand I could maybe concoct a sideBySide layout to get something close, but it might have formatting issues with different screen sizes. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to achieve this?

How can I have the user enter a datetime including seconds in Appian?  The date & time input control does not allow me to enter seconds (it clears the entire date/time value when I try) How can I display the datetime back to the user with the seconds?  I do not see any display formatting for the date & time control. It seems odd that this is not built-in... or if it is then I'm odd because I cannot find it.

Hi team, I am trying to show a checkbox in front of every record in the grid. I have used the following code given below: a!gridField( label: "Test Cases", labelPosition: "ABOVE", data: 'recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType', columns: { a!gridColumn( label: "Test Cases", sortField: 'recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType.fields.{b36e5404-7689-44f8-bcb3-efc90764cd0e}suitefilename', /*value: a!linkField(*/ /*links: {*/ /*a!recordLink(*/ /*label: fv!row['recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType.fields.{b36e5404-7689-44f8-bcb3-efc90764cd0e}suitefilename'],*/ /*recordType: 'recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType',*/ /*identifier: fv!identifier*/ /*)*/ /* */ /* */ /* */ /*}*/ /*)*/ value: a!che

I have the requirement where i need to change the image in card layout dynamically. Can someone help

We have developed a interface that just displays information on a monitor for employees to review.  Does Appian offer an option where that interface will not log out and require someone to log into it daily?

Use case- User wants to upload data via Excel where Columns of excel are not static and can be changed frequently. Now with static template, it can consume and validate the data and loads the table via Data store / CDT into table. But if Excel template is not static then what could be the best solution via Appian? Altering the Table can be done via Stored proc etc but what about CDT and verification process. 

How can I generate a PDF that includes Appian charts? The user should be able to download a PDF that includes charts displayed on the interface.

Hi team, I have created an interface which looks like below- so basically there are 3 columns, Suites, Scripts and Cases. In 1st column, I have used a readOnlyGrid where I have shown a record.  I have defined a local variable 'local!isSuiteSelected' in the interface expression. Now I want that if someone clicks on a record link then instead of opening a summary dashboard, it should change the value of local variable 'local!isSuiteSelected' to true and it should not open a record summary. How can I achieve this functionality ? Below are the code snippets. a!localVariables( local!isSuiteSelected:false, local!isScriptSelected: false, a!headerContentLayout( header: { a!cardLayout( contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", value: { a!richTextHeader( text: { a!richTextIcon(icon: "users-cog"), " Welcome"

On my DEV Environment the actions sort correctly but in my TEST Environment they are not and trying to figure out why.

Hello all, For an editable grid, we are using the a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroup function to filter through the users based on the selected group chosen in the grid.  When entering a letter in the picker field, it undergoes a search and then gives a listing of all the users within that group that has the letter in it.  Is there any way to get the screen readers to be dynamic in a sense where it can tell you how many users match the criteria for the value entered?

Hi, I have a case of use of a complaint management application, the application sends an email with the responses generated by the operator to the dissatisfied citizen through the smart service of the process model. I plan to add the function of generating a standard response to a large number of requests, which would cause the process to send a high volume of emails to citizens, there is a problem with this, is that solution feasible?
