Good afternoon. We have a requirement to preview a PDF file. For that, we are using the documentViewerField component (green circle).Both the documentViewerField component and the other components displayed in the image are inside a cardLayout.However, there is a lot of space (blue box) because of the height occupied by the documentViewerField and we want to avoid that space, making the documentViewerField component occupy exactly the same height as the rest of the components, to avoid the large space that is displayed (blue box) and that the resulting space is only the space occupied by the yellow box. We want to display pdf files in thumbnail and at the same time we want the thumbnail to be adjustable to the box we have in yellow, to avoid that space (blue box). On the other hand, is it possible, somehow, to make that with some click we can have a thumbnail in a larger viewer and be able to download the document. Does anyone know any way to do this, or any component or plugin that fi

Hi everybody.I have a process model that starts after a trigger from an email received.When i save the subject of the mail, witht the mail's property "Subject", I pass the subject as a rule input for a expression rule.Unfortunally, the rule doesen't work well, but if I pass the subject of the mail as a wired string, the expression rule works correctly.I DON'T KNOW WHY.I suppose it's something about the format of the subject passed from the mail, but I tried with functions like "touniformstring" but nothing.

My company is looking for a interface for performing Inventory variances.  They are currently using a PHP program that lacks a some features they would like to have and are looking for us to migrate to an Appian based platform.   With the current PHP interface, they have a grid where they have the option to select 1 of 3 quantities or to type in a different qty all together.  My first thought was an editable grid, but with the number of lines which can exceed 1000.  I did start with an editable grid, but after a few lines, the performance slowed down drastically and by the end, was taking up to 1 min per line selection. I am just looking for some thoughts and ideas on which road to travel down to keep it simple for them to select the qty they want, but also not kill performance. I have included a snip it of the current PHP interface.

Hello [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8], I was going through the product training videos from the Appian Academy and I came across this trick which I wanted to show you.  Scenario : Lets say we have a table whose primary key would be a foreign key to some other table (like an Order table whose primary key will be a foreign key to Order_Items table) In such scenario, when we insert the record in the first table (order table) , we need to extract the ID of the inserted row and we will use a script task to update the ID to the other table rows (Order_Items) In the script task we have couple of ways to update the foreign key as suggested in the below answers https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/process/25333/script-task-to-multiple-parameter-in-process-model https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/new-to-appian/24905/script-task-in-process-model/98510#98510 But the trick I found is, as below. It can be found in the community edition process name : AA New

It's critical to be able to tell Fitnesse to reload the DOM and move to a tab that is opened by the application.  How do we do this in Fitnesse? Please don't include any UX recommendations for not opening new tabs just looking for an answer as to whether it's possible and if so how.

Why do buttonWidgets not have a linkField property? It would be ideal if they did.

i am trying to login to the course material but this grey screen doesn't change 

Is there a way in a process model to add a node with an informative screen, that does NOT require any user input, and the process continues running immediately after displaying the screen to the user? For now i see two aproaches, but none of them are what I'm looking for The first one: A User Input Task with a form, and a timer, that makes the process continue after a specified amount of time. But that makes the process wait when there's no need to. Also after the timer runs out and the user clicks a button on the screen, an error appears, saying that the task no longer exists. Second one: Make the form return something when clicking a button, and continue after the output. The problem is that I want the process to run even when the user navigates away from the screen, or closes the tab, as to account for the user not clicking the button.The two approaches can be used simultaneously, but still I would rather not wait for neither user, nor the timer. I just want it to go to the

Earlier I remember using records updated in Output of Data in Write to Records after write it will append the ID to the same record data given as input. Not sure whats wrong now its only returning id and i dont have the data in it. its overwritten with only ID after write. So i cant have entire field data to continue for other tasks following it. Am I missing something or is it how it should behave in recent updates? I am using process start form and not user input task to map the details for inputs from forms to pv.
