Hi all, I would like to create a scroll-wheel picker component for an interface, where the user selects a number (1-20) for a corresponding field. Many applications use this style for selecting country. I currently have a dropdown menu which is the closest thing I found so far... Is there any way that I can create this kind of a menu for a field? I am using Appian 21.2 version.

In our Appian application there is a Process Model which is associated with a Form and it is used for updating some user performance related data along with some status information like Enabled, Started, Initiated, Acknowledged and Filed. The Form is being used by Manager and his/her Subordinates and there is a both way communication through this Form. Status of the data is changed depending on different stages of communication. Though it is used for both way communications, Process Model has been made such a way so that more than one user can not work simultaneously with the same user data. However one thing is noticed that when limited people are working with the form then it works fine but when 50-60 or more people are accessing the Form simultaneously then in a few cases user data goes back to initial stage. It seems to me that it is a Concurrency issue due to parallel processing. For your convenience I am attaching the screen shots of the Form and the Process Model. Can anyone hel

Hi All, I have requirement where I need to remove consequent duplicate value while showing the data in grid. i,e if values are: {"Requested", "Requested", "Pending","Sent For Approval","Approved","Pending","Approved","Approved"} the expected output is {"Requested", , "Pending","Sent For Approval","Approved","Pending","Approved"} Here "Requested" and "Approved" are getting rejected as they are consequently occurring twice.

Good morning, We have an interface which queries the tasks from the user logged in thanks to a task user report. If we use an admin user, we are able to see all these tasks (group and individual), but if we use a test user without admin privileges, we are unable to see them. In the report, if we set the context user to the test user, we can see the tasks, so we don't think is a report issue. Thank you so much

Hi, just want to ask.. If I created a Web and Mobile application through Appian, how do my user's access it? 1. Will they know that the application is done through Appian? 2. In Web, are the licensed users will have to login through Appian or will land through Appian in order to access the web app? 3. In mobile application created through Appian, will the users of my application needs to download and install the Appian app from Google Play in order to access the created application? 4. Or, are all applications (web or mobile) done through Appian are deployed as stand-alone applications where users will never know that the application is done through Appian? Ex: mobile application that I can upload in Google Play/ Apple Store Thanks!

I have a user input task with 3 reminders being sent by escalations. The input task is stored in our database and indicates if it was completed and the reminder dates (basically writing a near empty object). I'm trying to figure out how to move passed the input task after the last escalation and still write the record before ending the process. I've found older posts where users discussed the "send message request" item within the escalation, but they would do that to kill their entire process. I still need my process to complete. An alternative approach I'm testing out is splitting the flow with an AND gateway: Path 1 has the user input task and updates pv!taskComplete once done Path 2 loops itself with an XOR for each reminder count (pv!counter) If pv!taskComplete = true, Path 2 resolves to an end node and everything is fine. If pv!taskComplete = false, but pv!counter = 4, Path 2 also resolves to an end node.

Do we have any console to see general Appian logs as we are not logging custom logs in Appian.For EX:When we are calling any external system it may give some 500 or 404 error.where do we see those errors?

Hi all, I am still confused in the pricing and plans offered by Appian. From the website, under APPLICATION plan, there's a price per user (Standard, Infrequent, and External Input User). Also, there are plans for PLATFORM and UNLIMITED. I am not quite sure if we will fall under Standard user. In our use case, we are a Service Provider/ Software Developers. You may refer to my use case below: As a software developer, we are looking into using Appian as a low-code platform where we can create our software/ applications. These created applications are being sold to our customers with different volume of end-users who will use our software/ application. Example the application is a Human Resource Information System with end-users such as the HR people, all company's employees, and on-boarding external applicants. My question right now is that, how's the Pricing in Appian? 1. We, as the provider with 20-30 developers, how much should we pay if we subscribe

We have Appian 17.3 and 21.1 environments - I am using a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups() field inside editable grid to allow users to pick either a user or a group. No issue when picking a user, but when I pick any group then I got the following error "Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups [line 100]: A user and group picker component [label=“Primary Assignee”] has an invalid value for “value”. All users and groups must be valid and visible to the viewer."   When I use a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups() outside of the editable grid, picking a user or a group works with no issue. Also, when using a!pickerFieldGroups() or a!pickerFieldUsers() inside editable grid works just fine. Appreciate any help on this issue.

It would be nice it it would be possible to allow a link to be configured inside a button. Currently a button only has a saveInto. If you want to launch a worklfow form a button you are limited to using a!startProcess(). This method only allows for headless processes to be launched.If you want to launch a process with a process startform, you need to used the  a!startProcessLink(), but there is no way to configure this when using a button. Example usecase: Imagine you have a custom grid of objects.You want the users to be able to select one or more objects. Based on the selection you will show the possible actions to use above the grid. A nice way to display these actions is by using buttons. If one of these actions involves a process with a process start form, there is no way to configure this using a button. You can however just just a link, but it wil nog look as clean.

Dear community, I have a start process web api, the process is updating the metadata table. My facing issue is that API response success even when write to data store entity error. The expected result should be when process executing error, we can expose the process instance error in web api response body. Therefore, how can I get the process instance error? then I can save it into process variable, and in the api, we can get it through ProcessInfo. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Good afternoon,  We are consuming an external process that has a start timer configured as follows: The rule! Delay has this code if(   totime(now()) < cons!START_TIME,   datetime(     year(today()),     month(today()),     day(today()),     hour(cons!START_TIME),     minute(cons!START_TIME)   ),   datetime(     year(today()+1),     month(today()+1),     day(today()+1),     hour(cons!START_TIME),     minute(cons!START_TIME)   ) ) The value of the constant is: The configuration of the user who starts the process is And the process has the overwrite option checked The problem we are having is that the process is running at 2:00 AM instead of 1:00 AM as we have in the configuration. Can you think of why this could be happening? A greeting and thanks in advance
