Hi, We have a process and a start form interface with a "Save draft" button and a "Write to DB entity" at the end of the flow. - Could you tell me where Appian stores its data when the user clicks on this button please ? (in a task, in a dedicated Appian table ?) (the corresponding DB table is not impacted as the smart service of the next node is not called yet) - Does this action can be linked to an event, to accomplish some tasks ? or Draft option is a completely internal Appian option ? Regards

Hi, Any know how to achieve the below circled type of Tab format.

Hello,  I would like to display an HTML document in an Appian Interface. I don't want to download the document but instead I want to be able to just show it. I've tried using a couple of components like "DocumentViewerField and WebContentField". However, both have problems. WebContentField throws an error if the content is from the same domain DocumentViewerField does not display the HTML What is another way to do this? Basically, my use case is to display the HTML document and be able to click on a button link to an external application. Regards, Le

Hi all, We have a process that runs every night. It makes calls to a java plugin that is slow. I am wondering how we can improve the performance.  I thought of placing the java plugin call in a subprocess and call it with the Start Process smart service to make sure that there is load balancing in place. However the Start Process SM is asynchronous and we need to have a list of the calls that returned an error. I think having load balance could improve the performance. Is there a way to mitigate the fact that is not possible to return parameters from the subprocess? May be we can write the success/errors calls into a table? Or may be there is a better way to store the response messages? Is there any way to make sure that there is load balancing across the appian engines without using the Start Process smart service? Changing the plugin is not an option at this moment but it could be explored later on. Thanks a lot

I have an array of strings but when I use the tostring function on the array there is a semicolon in-between each string. How do I get rid of the semicolon and if possible get rid of them with out spaces being left in there too. ex)  tostring({"123","456", "789"}) -> "123;456;789" what I want is "123456789"

While troubleshooting an apparent error just now, I noticed that all completed instances of a relatively simple process with an AND gateway had failed to execute both of its outgoing paths.  The key factor here is that the process chains (unattended) all the way to a Terminate node, presumably because after the user submits their task in this subprocess, they're expected to chain into a followup task back at the parent level. However I never realized this constraint was in place - that is, the process executes all possible chained paths (up to and including a terminate) before it will execute the other AND gateway outputs.  This seems like a bug to me - but am I wrong?  Has anyone else noticed this? I was able to recreate the behavior with this very, very simplified example process, if anyone's having trouble picturing what I'm referring to:

Hi all, We have an Appian interface into which [at present] the users type in some details about a particular area of land - such as its lot number, street address, postal zip code, and the local government jurisdiction that it falls under. However, all of this information is available in our web based GIS [Geographical Information System] which allows the users to search a map [very similar in basic operation to google maps].  At present, when the users want to enter data into the screen provided by our appian interface, they load up another browser window and look up all the details in our GIS system, and then - with both windows open - type in the values they can see on the GIS mapping tool. What we would *like* to be able to do, is to automatically populate the fields in our appian interface from the GIS system.  To do so, requires making an api call to the GIS system.  If I was doing this in a normal web application, I would do it with javascript that makes a call t

Hello!I'm trying to create a list of groups for an application.What I am hoping to do is have an interface where I select a user and application then I get presented a list of groups in that application (groups will hold an attribute linked with a specific application) - I will then use ismemberUserOfGroup() to have two lists one which displays which groups the user is a member of and one which the user is not a member of.For example:User - John.Smith Application - RandomApplicationTest(Attribute in groups to filter groups RAT)Available Groups                                                                          Member OfAdmin                                              &nb
