Hello , I am confused with the sending of messages. I want to send a message to a specific instance, I don't want to send a message to all instances of a process model. The only way I found is creating a condition in which I evaluate if the instance that I pass as a parameter is the instance that I want to receive the message. For me this is not very efficient because all active instances will evaluate that condition to determine if the message is equal to the current instance.

Hello people! I hope you're doing well. Is there any way, video or documentation, where I can learn how to create a login page for my Appian ACME (Community version) Site?  For example, there is my site link like this:  But looks like an Appian login, not the ACME or my site custom login page.  Question 2, this means that if I create a user in my Appian ACME site that user will be allowed to access to the ACME Site? Thanks in advance! have an excellent day.

Hi, I am trying to use startProcessLink in a grid view Interface so that an user can edit the selected record by selecting a location Name. This is my first time using this method.  When I am selecting an entry, I am getting an error message:  An Error Has Occurred No process parameter found corresponding to override [name=pv!locationId]. Non-parameter process variables cannot be overridden. a!gridColumn( label: "Location Name", sortField: "description", value: a!linkField( links: { a!startProcessLink( label: fv!row.description, processModel: cons!BC_PM_ADD_LOCATION, processParameters: { locationId: fv!row.locationId } ) } ), My process model is working fine. So how and where do I fix it?  Please advice me.  Thanks

Hi Appian Team, We have a functionality to save the data from the interface to the database where we are not submitting it to the parent table, but a temporary table or cdt and use the same process model as the submit and add the nodes for temporarily saving feature like save as draft. Basically customized "Save as draft functionality". Can anyone help us to implement this functionality , if you have come across similar features in any of your application. Thanks Sunu Sam

Hi All,     I want to write the logic for the below requirement  For example: ------------------ My Input is 1  Output should be : {2,3,4,5}    can  anyone share the logic  Thanks in Advance!

How can I assign a default value to a radio button and make sure that value is saved even if the user doesn't interact with a radio button component? for instance, if I have local!radioButtonDefaultValue: false I see that the No label is selected, when value field of the component is set to local!radioButtonDefaultValue but the value itself isn't saved automatically unless the user interacts with the radio button component. I want to save the false value even if there is no interaction with the component.

Prereq: Site, tested in Chrome and Edge. My use case starts in a site as the main user landing point. From here various actions and a pair of reports are presented to the user. Depending on the user's screen resolution the initial landing page may or may not scroll. Given the user has scrolled down the page, when they click on a task link (from a task report for example) the task opens up within the site framework but is not at the top of the task, instead, the interface retains the previous scrolled to position. This has been observed where the target form has been constructed in either formLayout or in headerContentLayout constructs. I cannot find a way to force the vertical page position back to the top of the form. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hi All, We have data stored in our DB in text format. But data added can either be text or json. We would need to display the same in the interface in proper format. That is if data is in plain text we would show it as text and if it is in JSON, we would need to format it and show. For eg : if data is stored as "XYZ" then we would show either in Rich text editor/text field as XYZ. If data is stored as text (in actual it is a JSON) -  {"Field1":"Test","Field2":"value is "not editable" test it.","Field3":"314146282515","Timestamp":"2019-06-19T11:05:23.678+0000","Field4":"XYZ","Reason":"XYZ","Time":"2022-02-19T05:09:26.046+0000","Field5":"ABC","Field6":"yui","Value":"OK","Action":"","Field7":"[abcged]","Field8":"&

Does appian have a direct return feature? for example, the normal process runs this way:requester - checker - verification 1 - verif 2 - verif 3there's a condition named 'direct return", it is when verif 3 do a direct return to verif1, and verif1 do another direct return back to the requester, then when the requester do an approval, the process wont go to checker, but go directly to verif1, and after verif1, it will run directly to verif3 (do not need to go through checker and verif2 anymore?)
