My health check report indicates that I have the following problem to solve:"276 process models have an alert setting that does not follow best practices. All models should have explicit custom settings to alert the appropriate business support group and should not explicitly reference users." I have 459, and as far as i know most of them are configurated this way: And also this warning in all the proceses configurated this way: 1. Is this the problem? Should I set all of them with custom settings > Send to group?2. Maybe I only have part o them like this, and the other 276 processes are configurated to Send alert to an specific User and I only have to change those ones?3.Or Maybe is there any other place where I can set alarms, for example in specific nodes? Since the picture is General Properties of the Whole Process Model. Thank you so much!

Hi, As mentioned in the Appian docs (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Customizing_Application_Logging.html ) if we have Appian server installed on premise, we can edit appian_log4j.propertie to customize logging change  i.e.  changing logging level, appending new logger etc. If we have our Appian cloud instance how we can achieve this ?   Does it allow to redirect log messages to separate log files, by defining separate log appender when we have appian cloud instance? For this how can we configure appian_log4j.propertie property files in cloud?

Hi,  I have a process model , called from the interface using a!startProcess() upon hitting submit button. Each Node has been connected with activity chaining.  Nodes - There are two API calls and a user interface ( just a message with OK button -attended node configured for pp!initiator.  The process model works fine, but it waits in the User interface node for the initiator to attend it as task. my requirement is : The Interface needs to get displayed in the Site which has to be accepted by the User and not go to the task list and accept. Any advice is appreciated.

Appian says I have a List of Text with 2 items, but when I try to get its length it says it has only 1 item. I need to do a flatten here to achieve the right response with 2 items and its type is not even a List of List of Text. Code for reference:a!localVariables( local!test: index({ code: { "A", "B" } }, "code", null), length(local!test) ) Am I doing something wrong here ? I'm really not getting it :/ For me seems Appian is interpreting the type wrong here because of its dynamic typing and even if it says the list has 2 items on the local variables, the interpreter is doing something different. From time to time we are facing little consistence issues like those and defects are being opened by QA and they take a lot of time for us to find out what the problem really is. This is something so core to the platform that we assume that it's working, but here and there this kind of stuff keeps hapening. We are needing to defend ourselfs against the platform because o

Thanks in advance

If i set set the reassignment option of task to "No Privilege" it will disable the "Reject" and "Reassign" options, but as well the "Return to all assignees" which i need to keep enabled once i accept the task. Thanks for any advice

Is it best practice to verify if an error will occur on every node in the process? In this instance, I've set a timer to delay for 5 or 10 minutes, so even if the process in the first line encounters an error, it won't be marked as active with error. thank you. 

Hi All, Does anyone know if its possible to skip steps in a vertical milestone? What I mean is that the stamp can stay grayed out based on a value, and then if it was skipped only the first and third would be green, is this possible? I have tried a few things but it still keeps the linear flow. Like in this case if I went from claim filed to estimate issued , all 3 stamps are green, I would want Green - grey - green because technically the second one didn't happen. or another option could be to hide the middle stamp too. but not sure if that can be done. { a!localVariables( local!verticalSteps: { a!map(name: "Claim Filed", icon: "archive", date: today() - 5, isCompleted: true), a!map(name: "Vehicle Inspected", icon: "search", date: today() - 4, isCompleted: true), a!map(name: "Estimate Issued", icon: "file-text-o", date: null, isCompleted: false), a!map(name: "Payment Sent", icon: "money", date: null, isComple
