Hello Appian Community, I'm currently working on a Task where I need to clean up multiple versions of Appian objects, particularly interfaces and rules. Manually deleting each version is proving to be very time-consuming. Is there an efficient way to delete these versions in bulk? Any scripts, plugins, or built-in functionalities within Appian that could help streamline this process would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, We are facing one issue while fetching data having few filters. For e.g., the filters like to_date, fund etc are working fine but the moment we select from Date, it throws error. And surprisingly when I am selecting from_date after selecting any other filter, it is working fine.

Hi Folks, I am showing the data in a grid format in the dashboard page and the request id in that grid is a link which is navigating to the record summary page. I am providing record action in summary page for user to take some action which is being opened in a dialog box. Now when user submit the dialog box, the process running in the background and once completed, the user is coming in the summary dashboard. Now the client wants, when user submit that record action, instead of landing in the record summary page, then want to land into the dashboard page. Is it feasible? Regards, Ghanashyam

Hi, I have a requirement where I am querying a process report to check if an active process exist. If there is an active process which means a task was created and based on that the UI is made read-only. I have to query the process report continuously to check if the task is created until the process is triggered. The UI is editable but as soon as the task is created the UI becomes read-only(by querying process report for active instance). Once its in read-only the query should not happen to check the process report. EX: local!editReportdata: a!refreshVariable( value: index( rule!getActiveInstances( pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 1), workflow: ri!workflow ), "data", {} ), refreshAlways: true() ), local!isInstanceActive:a!isNotNullOrEmpty(local!editReportdata) Here, once local!isInstanceActive is true it should remain true even though local!editReportData becomes null. if local!isInstanceActive is false it should keep on checking until it gets true(). Or the variable local!

Hello All, We need to calculate number of hours between two date and time values. and this should not consider weekends. Thanks in advance

Good morning. We have a use case with a grid that has as data source a record and we need to select all the elements of the grid.The grid allows us to select all the elements at once, but only those on the first page.We also use user filters so that the data in the grid can be filtered by those user filters. We have created a button to select all the items in the grid at once using a query, but we cannot filter that query with the user filters in the record. Is there another solution to be able to select all the elements of a grid using a registry with user filters?Is there any way to access the internal query that appian makes when using those user filters to be able to use them in the query? Thank you very much.

We are facing slowness sometimes timeout error with UI. On Ui we are displaying 10 columns and one with record action icons also. Data type is record type and layout is read only gridlayout.Using logical expression to filter data and user filters.The record is queried at many places in application. Please suggest what can be possible issues because we are facing it frequently.

My requirement is that i have an editable grid which has lets suppose 1000 rows and i have to only sent the updated one to Database. i.e. if user change 3 out of 1000 rows then only 3 should be sent to process model or a!writerecords for updating this to DB rather than sending the whole 1000 rows. So what i did i created two variables for fetching record data from DB. 1 containing the original data and second containing the changed data, Now my requirement is to compare both these variables so that i can find the changed data which can then be sent for update.

For a while now we are getting JAXB errors in several different process models with the following error or similar to this error. Difficulty is that even if it will return the same error; where the error happens might be in different parts of the same process model (see below), but mostly it will break on the start process nodes from what I can see. We tried removing special characters or smileys from any fields that are passed to the process with clean(), since we feel like this might be causing the errors, but so far no luck yet. Any help would be appreciated!*Please note that I have redacted a large piece of the errortext for privacy purposes. Including parts that might contain the possibly disallowed characters/smileys etc. In this specific example I think it might have been the character ü, but we have found that it is also possible that the character that will break the process is only visible in our main database (not in the MariaDB) as a blank space which makes findin

Let me explain my situation: I have a workflow where certain actions are performed. When a user, let's say XYZ, initiates the process, they are initially assigned as the assignee. However, I need to be able to change this assignee. To handle this, I've created a separate workflow where I only capture the latest active tasks. From this list, I select the task for which I want to change the assignee. Once I reassign the task to a new user, let's call them ABC, I need all subsequent tasks initiated by input to go to this new assignee. To clarify, after initiating the process, I continue working with the same input task when I am the assignee. However, after reassigning the task through a different process, I need to capture the latest assignee for that process, even new assignee's information is already saved in the database. Please let me know if you need more information or if you have any suggestions.

What are three ways to trigger a process from a process model?   Use a!recordActionItem().   Use a Start Process smart service.   Run a!startProcess() from a script task.   Call a web API.   Use a subprocess

We have a few draft models saved by a developer that is no longer around. Though the same have been updated and published, when the process runs, it shows the ex-developer as process initiator. Is this a known behavior? Is there a way those draft models can be deleted?  Thanks in advance.
