Hi All, I have a requirement where I need to generate a PDF with dynamic values (which includes tables). I have been first generating HTML file using HTML Doc from Template smart service and later using HTML to PDF smart service but I have below mentioned issues with that smart service. Any help on the below is much appreciated!! 1. I need to insert images (icons and stamps) in the HTML but I couldnt able to. I have checked in community and found that we need to convert the image to base64 and then send the value to HTML. I have no idea on how to convert document to base64. I checked in appmarket but couldnt find any plugins as well.  2. I need to add three column footer. I have been using the below HTML code for the same, but I am not getting the right side value and footer is not getting aligned with the page margins or the body. I have given the values of A4 size in HTML to PDF smartservice( width 210 and height 297). HTML Style: <style> @page { size: A4; margin

Hi everyone, We're working with the scimPatchGroup() function from Appian's SCIM User Management application and would appreciate some clarification on the expected inputs for each parameter based on our current configuration. Here’s what we have so far: scimGroupType: We're passing 1, which corresponds to the Group Type ID for our SCIM-managed groups (1 - SCIM). This is the group type under which the group (from which users are being removed) is defined. jsonBody: We're using the following format: { "schemas": "urn:SCHEMA", "Operations": [ { "op": "remove", "path": "members", "value": [ { "value": "abc@gmail.com" } ] } ] } attributeMappings: We're using the default mappings from the SCIM application: [ { "appianAttribute": "ExternalId", "scimAttribute": "externalId", "jsonPath": "$.externalId" }, { "appianAttribute": "GroupName", "scimAttribute": "dis

Hi everyone, I’m a PhD student researching low-code development. It’s impressive to see more and more people discovering low-code and no-code tools and using them in their work. I recently completed a study in collaboration with a consulting company that provides low-code solutions to its clients. Through interviews, I learned that many people without formal software development education are now able to step into this field thanks to low-code platforms. For many, this has created new career opportunities and pathways into tech. I also noticed that consulting firms often play an important role as partners of low-code vendors, acting as a bridge between platform providers and client companies. Beyond these observations, I’m interested in understanding how developers themselves feel about working with low-code development platforms—both the benefits and the challenges. Based on the collected responses, I found Appian was one of the most mentioned platforms. I beli

Hello! When it comes to AI tools in the context of automation testing (e.g. AI generation of automated tests, AI automatically fixing broken locators after a change, etc.), what support, and compatibility from/within Appian is expected currently and in future?

Before Importing an application and properties file, Can we pass the value of a data store in the properties file like ##TestDS content.a_<uuid>.VALUE=jdbc/TESTDS  can we do this ?

In my Appian environment, I’ve noticed that some groups have UUIDs that start with SYSTEM_GROUP_ followed by the group name, instead of the usual alphanumeric UUID format.How can I logically identify or classify these groups separately from regular groups?  When I use scimGetGroup() on these SYSTEM_GROUP_ groups, it doesn’t return any group attributes, unlike the other groups with standard UUIDs.Is this expected behavior? And is there a workaround to retrieve attributes for these system groups?

Is there a built in function for fuzzy match in Appian?

I know this question might be a little different and weird than any other here before, I was just re-structuring my resume and i just wanted to know as what all technical skills i can add in my resume as an Appian Developer. I would be pleased if any senior of mine from here would help me out a little with that small issue of mine.

Hello Team, I have a requirement to rename the local file with dateandtimestamp on some condition.  Input file name - test.csv expected renamed filename - test.csv_16072025 I am using "Edit Document Properties" smart service and it is renaming the file name. so the output is like test_16072025.csv.  Unable to get the extension renamed. How to achieve this? can anyone suggest here?

While working with a!dateField, I observed that changes to the selected date are only registered if the user updates the day first, followed by the month, and then the year. For example, if the initial value is 1/1/1994 and I attempt to change only the year to 1995, the update does not take effect. To successfully apply the change, I must reselect the day.Did anyone else came across this issue earlier?

How to get end of business day date and time based on appian process calendar? Kindly help me with this, Thankyou

Hi Team, I am trying to generate reports on processHQ. But due to the processHQ limitation on using one to many relationship records, I am unable to structure the report the way i wanted to do. Actual Idea: There is an approval flow, where one form will have multiple reviewers. From process HQ, I am expecting to prepare a report (record grid) where I show the formId and its multiple reviewers names. Limitation: Process HQ doesn't support using one to many relationship records. Any Idea, if there is any work around here, to accommodate the actual Idea. Acc to Appian Documentation, it suggested to use backward relation to turn one to many -> many to one, but this will not fit into my case as i have many other records to deal with ( few are one to many while few are many to one). I just want to know if anyone came across similar situation. If yes, may I your approach in solving this. Thankyou!

What is the approach if we want individual endpoints for each of the Users in Appian-->Admin-->Users

Hi all, I have one question regarding the way that Appian works with processes and how to notify parent interfaces.  So in my case a I have a grid field on the parent page that has a list of open document processes and for each row I'll have a edit button like the following When clicking the edit button it loads another interface ( a dummy one for now)  This is the new item button code for the way that I'm currently doing ( which is not working ) a!buttonArrayLayout( buttons: a!buttonWidget( label: "New item", icon: "plus", size: "SMALL", iconPosition: "START", saveInto: { a!save(local!selectedProcessId, null), a!save( local!currentNodeId, local!currentNodeId + 1 ), a!save(local!isEditMode, true()), a!startProcess( processModel: cons!ADBase_DummyProcessModel, processParameters: { Cancel: false(), ProcessData: null }, onSuccess: null(), onError: null() ) },

I am currently investigating process mining using ProcessHQ.I have added a process to do a ProcessInsight analysis within ProcessHQ, but an error occurs and I am unable to do the analysis.The error code is APNX-1-4579-027.A web search for the error code did not turn up any hits, and I am unable to proceed with my investigation into the cause of the problem.I would appreciate it if you could tell me the cause of the above error and how to correct it.

when trying to upload a template with 500 lines of data the readexcelsheet function was calling in interface to read those 500 lines in that only first 250 lines was fetching the function other 250 was not reading tried providing paging info too but still same only first 250 lines was reading  Could you please confirm what could be the reason for this issue

Hi Everyone,I'm running into an issue where one of my Appian process models stays in the "Active" state but doesn’t actually move forward past the first node. There are no errors in the logs, and all inputs look correct. It's just... stuck. I tried canceling and redeploying, even restarting the Appian engine, but the same thing happens again. This process used to work fine a week ago  nothing significant has changed in the model. Could this be related to a timer event or a data store node silently failing? Thanks!

Hi all, I have a process model that calls an expression rule to generate a 6-character random alphanumeric string. I encountered a case where two instances of the process model were triggered at the same time (based on time logs), and both received the same generated value from the expression rule. I understand that there's always a chance for it to generate the same value. However, I’d like to ask: Is it possible that both process models used the same instance or execution thread of the expression rule, which might explain why the same value was returned?

Hi Team! I have a requirement and would like to know if anyone has faced a similar situation or has suggestions on how to approach it. Scenario:I have an interface where the user can dynamically add N sections. Each section has a unique ID (provided by the user) and a fixed set of fields (the same for all sections), but with different data. Example: The user adds 2 sections: ID 1 and ID 2. Each section contains the same fields (e.g., name, date, value), but with different values. At the end, I need to generate a dynamic PDF document that reflects exactly those sections and their data. Requirement:The generated document should include one section per user entry, with the corresponding data mapped correctly. If the user adds 5 sections, the document should have 5 blocks with the respective data. My question:What would be the best approach to generate this kind of dynamic document in Appian? Is it possible to do this using Document Generation? Do I ne

Hi All, Since last week i am facing Appian slowness issue, for me all Appian environments are slow but working perfectly for other users. Tried opening in other browsers / Incognito mode cleared cache and other browsers settings but still facing same issue

I would like to suggest a feature that allows the reuse of a package across different environments such as DEV, TEST, and PROD. So, whenever I create a package named "MY PACKAGE" in DEV and deploy it to TEST, I would like to be able to select this package in TEST as well (as it is already imported), and then deploy it to PROD with a few clicks Currently, I have to recreate the same package in TEST, because there is no other option to deal with it. At least, I haven't found it yet. Does anyone have any hint on this? Thanks in advance.

How can we achieve a field level audit . Can someone suggest step by step .
