Normally when a new application is released there is this guided tour "clicked here to do this", "clicking here does this" if the new user wants to continue, they keep clicking and if they want to they have a choice to exit that tour. Does Appian have any such feature to record such a feature for an application developed/released in Appian?

Hello!  Does anyone know why a Null Exception Error is happening at this page? (see video) This is a form that's using a very simple logic for the text field. I checked the logs and didn't get anything there, so I tried remapping the record fields. That didn't work. The logic for this text field is very simple so I'm confused why it would give an error like this, see below. Thanks for any help in advance! Also, let me know if you need any details on this, I'll be happy to provide them! Code:

Hi, I am checking whether any deprecated functions are used in our application objects using expression search. When I search for the deprecated function buttonWidgetSubmit, all process models with user input tasks are displayed. However, these process models and interfaces in user input tasks are not actually using this function. I also created a new process model from scratch and applied the same search criteria, which listed the newly created process model as well. Can you help me understand the issue behind this?

Tried to delete the record and create new and deployed to QA but still on making change same issue comes. Checked the security same as other records. Part of all admin groups of record security.

Scenario: I have a created a reusable fileUploadField component which I am planning to use in all existing fileUploadField field in all apps. I have created a rule inputs for all the parameters of the fileUpload field and passing values to the common component while calling it. In saveInTo of the common component I am calling a!startProcess which will run asynchronously(i.e. no activity chaining).  Issue:  When I drag and drop multiple documents to file upload, a!startProcess is being called multiple times. Is this behavior expected? i.e when I upload multiple docs at the same time, saveInTo will execute multiple times? Sometimes, when I upload multiple docs at the same time, getting the following error. (Especially when I upload 3 to 4 docs at the same time) Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 50518:8f67a] in rule 'aco_fileuploadfield' : An error occurred while executing

As I am getting a list of text strings separated by semicolons in a single line, my focus is to split them into different values.

Hello, I have an interface which displays the data from the record type directly on a read-only grid, where users can select one or multiple rows and perform certain actions (not record actions). The issue users have reported is, that if they are on page 10 when they perform an action (let's say delete a row), it brings them back to page 1 each time and they have to navigate to the desired page all over again to continue. Additionally, if they also applied a sort of any kind to one of the rows, that also resets.Is there a way to make it so that users remain on the page they navigated to using the pagingSaveInto? I have tried multiple ways but nothing worked, the grid is always refreshed to page 1 after an action. Thank you! a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!gridField( label: "Failed File Emails", data: a!recordData( recordType: 'recordType!{a18957da-4220-4c94-ba
