Hi, We have a use case where an employee from a warehouse needs to scan multiple barcodes. We were asked if this is possible without pressing, for example, a "Submit" button for each and every barcode scanned, since it would delay the process. The main goal is to allow the user to pick multiple barcodes, save them into a variable for example, and whenever the task is finished, it would trigger a process. Do you know if this is possible to do without forcing the user to press hundreds of times a submit button, for each barcode scanned? Or it's only possible via JavaScript embedded on the webpage? Kind regards

Hi ,       Is there an Appian function to retrieve Severs' primary locale ? I am looking for something like userlocale() , but specific to server not user. I know this can be be achieved in plugin/java. But I am looking Appian function. Ideally , I am looking for a function which can return highlighted settings in admin console as shown in the screenshot The usecase is a process model scheduled to run as batch which is developed by a single country but runs in different countries with its own servers. I am looking to dynamically disable or enable this PM , by setting up an expression or condition in the start timer.

After a user loging in i want do open a diferent interface based on theyr permission levels, but it goes to end node without opening any of the interfaces from the process models

Hello community, I am exploring the loop functionality of a scrip task but can't figure out how to do the following. I have a list of  6 map entries (same structure) with e.g. 4 fields and want to pass the values of the field of each map entry to a subprocess for earch entry fetching the values. I use pv!listOfMap[tp!instanceindex] to get the values. But what happens is that the script task iterates  6 times first and passing the last value of index 6, to 6 instances of the sub process. So ending with 6 instances with only the last value, instead of 1 to 6. I know I can pass the list of maps to the sub process and also pass the [tp!instanceindex] as a variable, and use the index in the sub process. But what am I doing wrong here? Kind Regards, Erik

This feature request involves navigation controls upon Site Action completion.  Currently, as with all Appian Actions, when one is completed the user is returned to the area they initiated the action from. This makes sense in a number of situations, however, not always with Site Actions in my experience.  In most situations I've encountered, a user is expected to submit 1 action at a time.  Typically we will have a few Site Pages, maybe a Home Page interface with general process details/contacts, a Record with some reporting capabilities, and a Action to submit a request.  Currently when the action is completed, the default behavior is to return the user to the same action's start form, essentially now a blank interface for the same process they have already submitted.  This causes end user confusion and creates extra development when we want to show a user a confirmation screen and allow custom navigation.  Best case, an extra click and an orphane
