I am using Locust with Appian to do performance testing.

When a new task email is generated for a group, it is sending 2 different emails for the users in different time zones. For example people in PST are not copied in the email sent out for EST and vice-versa. Is this an expected behavior? 

We have an application that on a flow assign a series of task to a series of users or group. In this case we have a user that shared to another user  (for internal policy the second one dont have to see, and dont see, the specific set of data related to the task, but this isn't the problem)  The problem is that even the specific task was assigned to a group where there isn't the second user (that have received the task link) if that user use the link, it can see the task. Why? Are there some restriction that i can apply? Obviously we talk about task in report and not in tempo.

Any latest plugin or smart service to call subprocess dynamically ?

Hi everyone,  I'm having this issue not sure if it is something wrong with my code or Appian issue itself, please help.  I'm having an editable grid, the data for it is a data subset type local variable, and in rows I use forEach of its data. I already provided the id for the gridRowLayout(), but not sure why it does not store anything into my local variable. I also tried with fv!index and it does not work either.  This is my input local variable with data subset type:  

Hi Everyone, I have a situation, i want to show the a constant timezone to every user no matter user is from USA, Canada or india, every user should see a constant date and time , No matter user changes his timezone in appian setting , timzzone should be remain same, changes in timezone in appian setting should not impact interface setted timezone, For exmaple: In the I created a record at 13 Sept 2024 12:11 AM IST , but i want to show on the inferface 12 Sept 2024 11:41 PDT, i implement a code when i set my timezone in appian setting as India Standard Time (IST) but when i change my time to PST in appian setting it impacts on interface as well  text( todatetime( gmt( text( gmt(fv!row.createdOn, "750"), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM" ), ) ), "MM/dd/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM" )

Hello, Is there a way to set a read-only grid to have a height that matches the viewport height? I understand that the "fixed" setting keeps the grid at a set height, but it doesn’t adjust dynamically with the user’s viewport. I’m looking for a solution that combines the behavior of the fixed setting—such as scrolling and locked headers—with a height that adjusts to the available space in the viewport. Using a match statement with a!isPageWidth() won’t work in this case, as it does not provide enough control over the height.  Thank you! Nick

Hi everyone, I need help checking whether I’m doing something wrong with my code. I’m having an editable grid with data is a data subset local variable. In it’s gridRowLayout() I also provided the id parameter. But somehow when selecting the row, it does not save any data to local!selectedAzureId. I also tried with fv!index instead of fv!item.fileId but did not work either. And below is local!data – the gridLayout data source:

Hello everyone, In our Appian setup, we are utilizing SAML within Azure to embed Appian interfaces into an Azure application. We've encountered some issues when attempting to call the Microsoft Graph API, so we decided to create a Bridge API in our Azure application and make calls to it directly using the existing browser token connection. When I log into the application using SAML and then open a new browser window to call our Bridge API, I receive the expected data. However, when using a!httpWrite for a POST request to retrieve the API information, the response only returns an HTTP 200 confirmation code without any actual data. I assumed that no additional authentication methods would be necessary since I'm already connected to the application. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can you suggest anything I might have overlooked? Thanks for your help!

This is with regards to Performance Testing. We are using Locust as the tool for PT. We have certain Interface components where label is not defined as per design.  When writing PT scripts Locust for Appian provides functions to interact with a "testLabel" if label is not available. I want to interact with a dropdown using a test label. But the appian interface designer does not provide an attribute called "testLabel" for dropdown component. Reference: appian-locust.readthedocs.io/.../appian_locust.uiform.html

I was wondering if obtaining Appian certifications (Analyst and Developer) is a prerequisite for establishing a partnership with Appian. My company has a vast history in developing systems and applications for a wide variety of clients and organizations. Additionally, we possess substantial experience in low-code environments such as Oracle APEX. Is the certification a compulsory requirement for the partnership. can anyone please clarify the specific requirements and certifications needed to pursue an Appian partnership?

Hi there, I am trying to create an expression rule that returns true if a document is not null, and has an ID attached to it. The expression rule is used to determine an XOR node to go to the document deletion node to delete the document if it exists, or to move to the end node if it has already been deleted. Right now, I am using a plugin isObjectExists() and it does work correctly but my supervisor wants me to improve the code to not use that plugin, any ideas for what to do?Here is the expression rule I created, it currently works how I want it to but I want to avoid using the plugin, any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance
