Hello everyone. I am new in Appian and am trying to build a web app "Canteen" as part of my learning path. Couldn't find anything in other posts as I don't know how to search it. So my issue is the following... I have a Canteen Menu where each user can select products to add in the cart. On the interface I build a list of product variations (with a tempId in order to update something since I haven't saved anything on DB). When I press the "Place Order" button, I want to create a new "Order" with some fields and then get the ID of the created record. Then I will use the orderId and create the related "Product Variations" from the selected products list. How can I do this in the process model?    This Thread is duplicated by mistake. Please see this post: community.appian.com/.../129343

Hi there, I hope the title makes it a bit clear what I am currently struggling with. I would like to set up a process that is triggered by inbound e-mails. As part of the process some information of the mail shall be written into the database via the "Write to Data Store entity" smart service. When I tried it first I encountered the error 'Details:  An error occurred while trying to retrieve the data store entity [id=]. Verify that the data store and entity have not been deleted, and have the correct security settings. Details: User Does Not Have Rights to Perform this Operation '. After I adjusted the Data Store security settings to Viewer rights for ALL users, the process ran successfully and the data entry was written to the database. However, I have some concerns about keeping the security settings of the Data Store set up like this. Except for the handling of the inbound mails only dedicated users of the company shall/need access to the application

We have a process model (process A) with unused variables and we have a warning message in Process that "variableA" is unused. We went ahead deleted that variable and published the process. The sub process called in Process A has same variable name ("variableA") in it. In the setup of sub process we had a some logic to pass to that variable from Process A. Strangely after deleting "variableA" in process A erased the code in the setup of sub process for "variableA". Did anyone come across this behavior?

I am using the Create User Smart Service in my process model and passing the required parameters through the start process smart service on the interface,  and I am able to create an user with the username, first name, last name and email fields but I also need to set the Title field for the user during creation itself. Is there a way to do this without using Admin tab manually?

Hi All, Scenario here is for a running process model 1 node was triggered twice. 1 by running process instance and another someone manually triggered that node(manual intervention). How to find who triggered that node manually? Due to that node in parent process, a sub process model got triggered twice and user got 2 active task in fronted. But later someone cancelled 1 of the active child sub process. Will this be captured somewhere in logs? Please find Attachment of 1 process triggered by instance and another manually triggered.

Hi all, I have a requirement of creating multiple tasks at a time when a new case is added based on a dropdown field. I have used a!writerecords function and have achieved creating multiple records at a time but I have to related the newly created multiple records with a single ID. I tried it with local variable, tried with expression rule and tried with a rule input of integer field. I have saved new primary key of the case in a local variable and later saved it in integer rule input using a!save in button. In interface level it was showing that the value is added but the it is not being saved in database.

Is it somehow possible to create a map or dictionary using variables for the keys? For example, is there some way for me to do something like a!map(localvar1:local!var2) to make a user generated map? Or maybe use a foreach loop over a 2d array to convert it to a map? 

My use case is to have the ability to add, remove and reorder items in a list similar to what we see for defining the columns in a grid in interface designer. Is something like this possible using SAIL? I would think so, but having a hard time envisioning this. Is it a series of cards with rich text-based links to manipulate the positioning? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the following question: while watching an Appian training course the instructor used the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component. I tried to search for it inside the interface palette when in design mode but I was not able to find it anywhere. Is there a place or a doc that contains a list of all these hidden components? Besides the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component I know some others are a!multipleDropdownFieldByIndex(), a!radioButtonFieldByIndex(), a!checkboxFieldByIndex() and a!timeDisplayField(), but it would be great to discover more if any. Many Thanks!

Hi all, I have a requirement of adding documents which has to be related to a case.I have tried it using record actions of document by giving a dropdown of cases to relate the document to the case selected. But I have to do it without using dropdown .So I have tried it using start process link in cardlayout.It was working fine but after triggering the process it has to go to previous page where i have an option as documents grid in summary page, but in my case it was navigating to the previous tab in the same summary page which has another grid in it. I am using start process link in 2nd button but it was navigating to the 1st button in the same page.Is it possible to open the start process link in dialog box? or Is it possible to add documents and directly relate them to the case without using dropdown? Kindly refer the below file where it contains the screen recording of the exact issue that i am facing. [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/13/startpro

Our team has been having a difficult time figuring this out. I'll try and do my best explain clearly. We have a child interface where you add a creditor and a debtor. The field level validations are working fine in the form itself. The validations I'm referring to here are, there is a debtor section where the debtors are added to an array rule input. Same with creditors. This interface is called in the main wrapper interface where the "Next", "Back", etc buttons are located. The requirement is to be, **only when a user clicks "Next"** is it supposed to check for page level validations. Meaning once a user clicks "Next" it'll check to see if there is both a creditor and debtor added. If it finds that there is no debtor added, for example, an error message will display to the user saying "You must have at least one debtor and one creditor added to proceed," and the page count will not progress.  We're having trouble f

Hello! Nice to meet you! [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] I want to take the Appian Analyst Certification exam, but I have some questions. I have already done the Appian Analyst learning path and I have done the practice test several times to train it. Since English is not my native language, I am a little worried. Is the official exam very different from the practice test questions? Or are they more complex? I have more problems with the multi-choice questions. Do you recommend anything else besides the Appian Analyst course? Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

Hello there! I have a related action on my records which are displayed in a grid. Is it possible to hide the icon starting the action immediately after the user clicks on it? Otherwise there are users who do multiple clicks, and since my action deletes the same record, they end up with a sad An error occurred while applying the context for the [myRecordName] related action [identifier=12,086]. Details: The record data does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have sufficient privileges to access it. In fact, the record disappears from the grid quickly after the click, but not immediately, and sometimes user can click again. The record action is a related record action, configured to be call the deletion process as follows: {  idRecord: rv!record[[myRecordName.id]],  cancel: false()} Part of the code:       a!gridField(        labelPosition: "ABOVE",        re

However in runtime the form should load as mentioned in above code i.e., based on the return value of rule!GetInformation() . Kindly suggest.
