This is more of a PSA post rather than a question, but I thought I'd put it up here to a) help anyone else out who is confused by this and b) hopefully get Appian's attention to fix this (I will also make a support case for this issue). This is regarding how the XOR node in the process modeler evaluates multiple conditions. Looking at how the Decision tab is laid out (with IF...ELSE IF...ELSE IF labels and the ability to change the order of the conditions) my first thought would be that the conditions evaluate in order from top to bottom. However, in the documentation for this node it states:  "Conditions are evaluated in bulk, without regard to the order in which you list them."  "Do not stack gateway conditions such that the first condition must execute before the second condition is evaluated. To avoid this, write the primary condition into the secondary one to ensure that the desired logic takes precedence."  But then in other places th

I want to display an interface to a user to upload documents from a process model, however the process crates a task for the initiator but does not show the interface. I have this in other process models and the interface is presented to the user without issue.  In this instance, I ensured that Activity Chaining was indeed set for the process links and the configuration of the User Input Task was set up exactly as others that work. The only difference I can think of, is that the process model is initiated through a Record Action as the others that work are initiated as part of the site pages. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi team, Is there any possibility to export CDT data to a multi sheet excel, without erasing the formulas given in the excel template? i have configured some dropdowns and data validations in excel. when i try to upload using smart service i can able to export data to excel in multiple sheets but the dropdowns and formulas defined are gone. I can understand this is how it works. But is there any other way like to use external services with appian to achieve this result? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

Hi guys I've gone and entered data fields into the All Case Types setup rather than in just my own case type. No actual data has yet been entered into any of the other case types and (thankfully) this is in ou Dev environment.I know the names of the tables that have been created and can access them in the cloud database. If I simply delete the tables and sync the record types, will this fix the issue? Failing that, if I go into each record type, remove the relationships and then sync, would that work? Is there a way to delete and/or edit fields from within the Case Management app without hacking the system? I need an urgent response to this please.Thanks and blessings Stephen

Hello, We are using the send File Over SFTP node and we have a doubt if we set the following attribute to true, would it take the user and the pass defined in the third party? We do not have a private key. We ask this question and we do not test it directly because in the development environment we cannot and we have to promote the environment to be able to test it but not to go up blindly, if someone had fought with this it would be of great help. A greeting and thanks in advance

I have an integration that calls an api which downloads document from external system. How can I implement a link that user can one click download the document that is returned from that api? like documentDownloadLink(), but I guess it can only be used for downloading documents that are stored in Appian? My requirement is that user don't want Appian to store the documents copy, so I can only call the api to get the document

Hi All,We want to know how Appian licensing works. Lets say the current license is for 3 applications and 50 users. So what happens if we have built more than 3 applications and onboard more than 50 users. Also what does this 50 users mean?? Does it mean number of users who can access appian concurrently or only 50 users can be onboarded? Does onboarding more users/applications cause any performance issue to the overall application?

I have a use case to not to allow the user to download the pdf document but he should be able to view it.Do we have any possible ways to achieve this with or without the PDF Viewer in Appian?

Dear Appian Community,Working on the Step-by-Step # 5 exercises, after have completed the Edit Record List section, I saw the image displayed for all records was the generic image, I opened the Cloud DB and confirmed the Image column in table AA Vehicle is Null. Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue? Maybe running a script to load the content of the table again or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Jose Castellot

I conducted a test where I copied a tab character from Notepad and pasted it into an Appian text field. Appian recognizes the tab character as a special character rather than treating it as empty spaces. How can I configure or validate this so that Appian treats tab characters as empty spaces? Any insight would be appreciated.
