The Business wants to implement a functionality where, a User Tag can be added to a note [paragraph field] to a new/existing record. What is the best way to achieve this without having to perform a lot of post-processing in the system.Example: [Text] @UserName1 [Some More Text] @UserName2 [Additional Text] Should trigger emails to the mentioned users about the note added.Current Suggested Solution: have a user picker where user can tag users and below the user can add the notes in paragraph field. Which most likely be rejected due to extra clicks, and it might also cause some ambiguity otherwise requiring tagged users to be mentioned again in the added note itself.

Hi All I have encountered a very strange behaviour where I create an interface in an a!foreach. When using the two pieces of code it displays the interface for each of the parents but as soon as i edit one it deletes any subsequent parents and removes the interface: CODE1: With strange behaviour a!forEach( items: ri!tempBom, expression: a!sectionLayout( contents: rule!PDP_uiRecipeAndPackagingDecisionQuestions( tempBOM: fv!item, newProductRequired: true, packagingTempComponents: ri!packagingTempComponents, blendTempComponents: ri!packagingTempComponents, ), showWhen: local!activeStep = 2 + fv!index )) If I change the input name on the child to the just 'BOM', and change it at the parent, it all works perfectly CODE1: With correct behaviour a!forEach( items: ri!tempBom, expression: a!sectionLayout( contents: rule!PDP_uiRecipeAndPackagingDecisionQuestions( BOM: fv!item, newProductRequired: true, packagingTempComponents: ri!packagingTempComponents, blendTempComponents: ri!packagin

How to achieve this functionality ? If user's manager band is between 0 to 3 then consider manager details of that user,if user manager is more than 3 then manager's manager(next linemanager) band should be checked and if it is not between 0 to 3 then again check for next further line manager. This process should be repeated until we get the any of the manager band as between 0,1,2,3.

[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/13/ri_2D00_label.mp4:340:240] Hi, Are there reserved keywords when naming rule inputs in interfaces?, I'm saying this because I have a rule input called "label", and when I enter a value in the textfield, the value is replaced by the label of the component. 

Something that's bothering is I can't make my interfaces take up the whole width of the screen. I have se the setting on the site to be "Full" but the interfaces still show empty spaces on left and right sides. One of the screenshots on this reference appears to suggest that you can make an interface take up the whole width. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.1/ux_page_width.html The only thing that can take up the whole width is a billboard layout inside a header content layout, but nothing else. Any suggestions?

Hello,  I have a question about the timer functionality.  What I need is a recurring process automatically to execute. Each Month. Each day 30 of each each month. or Each last work day in the month. Configured the way it is in the screenshot is not working.  Two questions occurs here. If I don't need the Delay option how this should be configured ? In this case all I need is the process to execute at certain time. Second is Selecting Time recurrence will that guarantees that the process will automatically execute , and it will repeat each month on day 30 or each last work day of the current month ? Thank you.
