Hi All, I am starting a process from a report dashboard and I have a requirement to refresh my dashboard based on process result. But while using start process link I am not able to refresh my dashboard. Any suggestions/Solution would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

We have a variety of tools to force data refreshes on interfaces on local variable changes. For example, this is easy to do using a!refreshVariable and I've even found ways to force read-only grids based on record data to refresh using little hacks like this in the filter logic: a!queryFilter( field: <field reference here>, operator: if(local!updateMeToRefresh,"=","="), value: ri!id ) However, even this technique doesn't seem to work in charts such as a!barChartField() where a!recordData() is used as the data source. I have an interface where I'm showing some charts based on record data and I'd like the user to be able to refresh that data on demand (there are other components in the interface that are used to update the data behind the chart) without having to reload the page entirely. I want to use record data here, but I may have to change to local variables unless there is a way to make this work. Looking forward to your ideas!

The documentation in the frequently asked questions for the certification exams does not say what a passing score is for the exam.  It also says that there will be matching and other types of questions other than multiple choice, but none of them are available on the practice exam.  Is the practice exam old?  What is the passing score?  Can we expect updates to the exam practice test any time soon?  I don't want to pay the fee for a test I haven't been able to practice for.

Hi Folks, I have a use case, say I have editable grid with 2 columns column 1 and column 2, user should see existing data in read-only format and when ever user clicks on add new row link in the grid, new row should be appended to existing list and editable. Consider I have below table structure is similar to my use case Column 1 Column 2 Check box Key1 Value1 Key1 Value2 Key1 Value3 Key2 Value4 Key3 Value5 Key4 Value6 In the above table Key1 has there different values, user should have a option to decide which value should be returned out/ mapped to that key1, to achieve this I have enabled section option in editable gird. When I do check on one row to map default value for key1, all the rows were selecting by default though only one should have been selected. Can anyone suggest me how to achieve selection in editable grid?What would be the reason for selecting all rows instead of only one row in above scenario? Thanks in advance [emoticon:c4563c

Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = af95d:a8823] : An error occurred while executing a save: Expression evaluation error: The save target must be a local variable that does not refresh on every evaluation or on an interval, a process variable, or a node input (or a rule input passed one of those three), but instead was: [documentId=, mappingKey=1, entityType=, entityId=, docType=, docName=, docExtension=, docDescription=, appianDocId=, isActive=, createdBy=, createdDate=, lastUpdatedBy=, lastUpdatedDate=].

I am new to Appian and I am evaluating this platform recently.  I defined a workflow without "process start form" it worked as expected and data finally has been save into db; This is my workflow and it is as simple as enough: And then I tried to add a "process start form" (I didn't want it but seems a "start form" is required if you want to start a process from the site pages), in my "process start form", there is nothing but a "Notice" text block and a "Submit" button(submit = true). but it behaved oddly since then. It showed that it only has "Start Node" and "End Node" now when I debugged it.  From the debug monitoring tab it seems totally not my workflow. Please can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Hi all, In our current project, we are discussing the use of a wizard-style form versus a single interface form; however, the form will need to support offline functionality.  Will we be able to use a wizard-style form offline, where each navigation action saves the form's data or is that too far outside of the current offline functionality? Thank you, Jacob Benjamin

We need a simple way to migrate a large number of documents from our Appian-based APS application to a non-Appian application. To do so, we need a way to attach metadata to the physical files that reside on the application server, under accdocs.

HI. We have a requirement for an unfinished task to send out a reminder email 3 days starting, followed by every day. I have done this with an escalation containing an alert with a timer set to start after 3 days, then reoccur daily. However we have an extra requirement to only send these emails out on work days.  Do any of you have any recommendations on how you would solve this problem?
