General

So someone on my team has a process model with the following error: There was an error in an expression in Process Model Properties at Process Start Form : Variable(s) not found: local!planType local!addActivity I can guess that some expression/interface hidden in that start form is missing some local variables (the start form itself has no errors), but the problem is there are tons of expressions in that interface and many of those expressions have multiple levels of nested expressions in them. Short of clicking through these countless expressions until I find an error, is there some way to quickly find which one might be the offending expression?  Or if I'm reading the error message incorrectly some advice on where I should look would also be appreciated. 

Hey all,  I have a general question,  Why does Appian have a different appearance sometimes? Is this a matter of which URL they use? Sometimes looks like this:

Hello there! I have the following process: We send a email to a customer with a user with a link to a interface. The user has to complete an interface, then the user is redirected to an external page where a email with a temporary password is send. The user has to take this password and provide it in the page. Very simple. The problem comes with the mobile version. When users try to open the link in their mobiles, the page is opened in the same tab that the gmail app (i think that this happens because the integration between browser and gmail app), so when they want to see the password sent to their emails, they have to close the tab and, with that, all the process has to start from the beginning. My question is, can we open the link in another tab/interface after the user complete the interface? We tried with safelink but it doesn't work in mobile (it's opens the page in the same tab). If not, is it possible to do something to avoid the process or something to start in the sam

Hi, I'm trying to test a fruitless foreach, and I'm surprised to see that the result is not just null or empty.- can you tell me why this code returns 20 null lines please (please see the attached file) ? I was expecting an empty list- - In this case, how to assert that the result is fruitless ? a!localVariables( /* Get a list of 20 Vehicles */ local!vehicles: a!flatten(rule!CJT2_GetVehiclesWithFilters( id: null ).data), /* The id = 550 does not exist in the Vehicles so we'll not find it */ local!oneVehicle: a!forEach( items: local!vehicles, expression: if(tointeger(fv!item.id)=550, fv!item, {} ) ), local!oneVehicle ) The object of this post, is not to replace foreach by another function (like index or reject) but to understand how works the foreach.

Hi, There is anyway to skip the login page sending the credentials into an url?  We have an application where we send an email to the user with their credentials and the url for appian portal. The problema is that users from mobile, when they click on the url from the email, mail app open in the same window the login page so user needs to go back in order to remember user & password… that is not very usefull and finally users are not using the application. A solution could be if we can include in the email an url with user and pwd encrypted where user clicks and goes to appian portal doing the authentication automatically… its possible? Any other idea? Thanks in advance by the support.

Does Appian support multiple versions of same application for different environment(Dev/Test/Production)? If yes, how it will be achieved, can we create multiple settings file.

Hello, Does anyone know if there is a correct way to estimate the memory that I will need in a production environment if, for example, I have a process that runs 1000 times a year, consumes approximately 100 AMUs per instance and is active for approximately 5 days. I need to make an estimate of the resources that I will need in the production environment according to the volume of active processes that I will have

I want to get all active or inactive Appian Users list in a Expression Rule. Can anyone please help me regarding this?

Does appian support custom setup? for example - backends in-memory database engine not required on one server when using load balancer and multiple application servers for scalability. Can we also use any third party services (like Azure Redis cache) as cache engine?

What are the best practices recommended for Disaster recovery for Appian application and data?

Which tool/database Appian used for in-memory database engine? What file format Appian used to store application artifacts?

Does Appian support changing configuration settings without downtime? Does Appian support existing database components like stored procedure for querying data? Can we implement custom styling for existing Appian UI components?
