Hello everyone! So when I create a new product It has the value "New" as default in the Status field. After that it goes throw a Approval Task where the Supervisor has to decide if it is ACCEPTED or REJECTED. Then it should update the Status field Changing its value from "New" to "Accepted" or "Rejected". Instead of that it duplicates the item: the old item stays with the value "New" and the new item has the value "Accepted" or "Rejected". How can i fix that? Is it wrong to use the a!save as i show in the image? Should I be using a!update? I tried but i don't know how to use it propperly, I thought that maybe it is not right to use a!update. Or is it wrong configurated in the Data Tab in the Task Configuration: Or is it somehing wrong in the Data Tab in the Write to Data base Configuration: I am new to Appian and I've been struggling with this for many hours. Thank you so much!

Hello community, I have an interface with tabs as a task.When the task first loads its default is tab 1, witch is fine.The third tab has a link to start another process with a task, once that task finishes the interface refreshes and returns to original interface with default tab 1 (set in the pv as initial value).I would like the tab to be 3 (use save in the interface to save the value to the ruleinput), and have a rule input to set the tab number. But the resume task smartservice (I cant find any documentation regarding this service) has no task input to set the tabnr via the rule-input.Can I update the pv with the tabnumber value via the other process by process id? Or can the the pv with the tabnumber be updated when another tab is pressed but before the form is submitted? Kind regards, Erik

Hello community, Can you help me with configuring start process link so that it refreshes the original interface instead of "ending" in the news tab of tempo? Once the link is clicked the process that is configured with chaining runs and shows the task, the task just shows information, the task is assigned to initiator.If the task is submitted, the process does end, but I cant see the original interface refresh when I test it. If I run the test again, the interface shows the information that was previously shown on screen in the task and saved to DB. Behavior is fine except the reload original interface part. Kind Regards, Erik

When i create user it takes long time to send email from 15 minutes up to hours.

Hello Appian community, I have found quite interesting observation related “native” email notification for “User Input Task”. For my test I have used 3 users with different membership -> but what was common is that all users are member of “PK_Users” group and user “Pavol Kuka” and “Pavol Kuka admin” are members of “PK_Users_admins” group.   I have observed link to task created by APPIAN is somehow related to current memberships. Because for user “Pavol Kuka Test” (user is no member of another application groups) I have received link:  https://domain/suite/tempo/tasks/task/k3bprjxktklo2dtpzg (Link works) For user “Pavol Kuka Admin” (this user has several memberships to other groups, one of them is CAST group – but this membership is not related to my test) I received: https://domain/suite/sites/cast/page/all-cpp/task/k3bprjxktklo2dtpzg?source=notif (Link works)   For

Hi, We had a requirement to upload a purchase order and get the data extracted from it. but the issue here is the document contains a table with a number of rows, The IDP is unable to extract each row, by the way, the data is getting extracted like a bunch, As an example we can have a look into the screenshot,where Sno 2,3,4 are extracted as a single row. Is there anything we can handle these kind of issues in IDP.Thanks in Advance. 

Hi all, I have a read only grid with pagesize as 20. I could see the number of rows populating below the grid is not consistent. It appears sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I have attached a screenshot for reference, you can see in the above grid I am getting 20 rows but in the below one it's not there. What could be the reason?

Hello everyone, So I've created an Interface to aprove an Item after it has been added: From my site, I create a new Item writting down name, code, type... and it gets inserted in my data base correctly, and generate a New Task to aprove it, but this task comes with the empty fields: This is how my Input Task Confiuration Looks like: Is the problem in the interface? Or in the task configuration? I don't know what to do, I feel like I've tried everything but I'm quite new to Appian and could use some help. Thank you!!

Hi, We're in the process of skipping the node encountering time out (Error: The amount of time allocated for the completion of an unattended activity was insufficient to allow the activity to complete.) to proceed on the next node however, if the time out error was encountered first, the exception on the node in error is not working to continue on the next node. Any input/suggestion will be much appreciated.

I'm getting this error on our process model. It's a practice application for an auto insurance policy. We are getting this same error on both the New Policy and Update Policy process model, we have three of us working on it for several hours now and cannot figure it out. Obviously something with the data types? Was hoping someone here may have some direction. Thank you! Process Properties: Rule input vehicle (KSS_Vehicle?list) is currently mapped to a process variable of type KSS_Vehicle.

I have user case that we need to run one process where we need to send daily emails/message at same time to users who has  due date of paying policy in very next day . How should i do it.

Hi all, in the interface we used checkbox to select multiple, now due to some reasons user wants to select one item at a time so am thinking to go with radiobutton  is that right way or do we have any other options?  and even i have checked with radio button but am getting this error, hope nothing difference b/w check box and radio button can anyone suggest me? Thanks in advance ,if anyone can advice on this I have passed choice lables and choice values with equal length.Same error is hitting once I select radio button.

We want the pop-up function, but since the pop-up function is not supported by appian, we are going to use dialog as an alternative. As of now, it seems that the only way to use dialog is to use record action. I want a way to open the interface as a dialog, if there is a way we don't know other than the way to use the record action, please let me know. purpose: Display a dialog for inputting additional input values to Interface A, and send the output data to Interface A. It would be nice if there was a way to just connect and use it instead of storing it in the db like using 'write to datastore entity' and retrieving it. Thank you.

I realize I probably haven't tried this before, surprisingly.  I'm attempting to shift a somewhat complex query into an ACP variable on a Send Email node, so I don't have to do the query twice in the template inputs (since the relevant query result is used in two different template input fields).  I know it could be shifted into a PV, but I'm trying to avoid cluttering the process with even more PVs at this point. Surprisingly, in the expression editor for the email node text, it doesn't seem to recognize even the existence of ACP variables. I checked the official documentation for the send e-mail node, and it doesn't seem to mention ACPs or the data input tab at all. I'd never thought about it before, to be honest, but it seems as if we should be able to declare an ACP and then refer to that from within the various expressionable fields in the Email setup.  What's everyone else think? Should this have been obvious?  Is it a missing f

Hello There, I have a requirement for a review completion tool where we want to define different processes (10+) and the different groups (10+) involved for successful review completion for a specific process. For example, for a given process we want business to capture the different review teams involved, the order of review, parallel or sequential review among groups involved. This should help assign tasks dynamically in a single process model, instead of having building process model for each processes. Is the below attributes good enough to create dynamic task assignment for each process. Has anyone tried this approach earlier any design suggestions to avoid bottlenecks? Review Process1Sequence| Group Name| Assignment Type|1| Review Group1| Sequential2| Review Group2 |Sequential3|Review Group2| Sequential Review Process2Sequence| Group Name| Assignment Type|1 |Review Group1 |Sequential2 |Review Group2 |Sequential3 |Review Group3 |Parallel
