I have always developed security using two group types, Position Groups, in which users who hold that position are added directly (ex: Case Managers), and Position Groups, where position groups are added to control their access within the application (ex: Account Creation Case Reviewers).   Can someone summarize the pros and cons of this method of security for a very complex application with many groups, but very few users for each group?  What would be the downside of adding users directly to role groups?

I removed a member group from a group in dev, and deployed that change to QA. However, that change is not reflected in the QA environment.  Do I really need to control which groups are members of other groups in each environment separately?  I have many many groups in my application, and keeping them all aligned across environments seems like a management nightmare.

Hi We have an application in the cloud, and the requirement is to track their last login date and display in an interface in Appian. I found where the log file is, appiancloud.com/suite/logs/login-audit.csv. But I can't simply set up a connected system/integration/web api in Designer as it requires a strange authentication process that can't be captured in that setup. Is there another, more native way of accessing the logs in Appian Designer?  Thank you, Saeed

Hi, I have a requirement where I have to create two dropdown fields but second dropdown will depend upon first. Suppose user selects one option from the first dropdown then according to that option second dropdown show options.  The values of the dropdown are from two columns of same table.  Can anyone please tell how can I get values to the dropdown from the table. Please share any resources which will be helpful. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.3/recipe-configure-cascading-dropdowns.html I'm looking similar to the above one but from the table not hard-coded one. Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to update an array of CDTs recursively. Base Array :  { {name:"Alex",rollNumber:null}, {name:"Stephen",rollNumber:3}, {name:"Dave",rollNumber:4}, {name:"Steave",rollNumber:5}, {name:"Rosey",rollNumber:7}, {name:"John",rollNumber:8}, {name:"Nile",rollNumber:10} } Now, If I insert number 4  where rollNumber is null , if that number exists in CDT array then all numbers greater than 4 should increase by1 until all duplicates are change to unique number, but all numbers less than 4 should remain unchanged. This is how numbers should change : 4->5, 5->6 Since there are no duplicates after 6 then increment should stop here, Updated Array: { {name:"Stephen",rollNumber:3}, {name:"Alex",rollNumber:4}, {name:"Dave",rollNumber:5}, {name:"Steave",rollNumber:6}, {name:"Rosey",rollNumber:7}, {name:"John",rollNumber:8}, {n

Hello Appian, I am greatful of Appian for all the support and what you are doing now.There's just a little thing to ask for. 1. It would be great if you could add just one more label line in the grid, so it could allow us to use the sub header. 2. In USER Properties, it would be nice to be able to change the column name of Custom Fields to the name we want instead of Custom Field 1, 2, 3. 3. In the grid, when the header is in English, the width fits well. But in Korean, it is compressed like the picture below. Thank you.Always wish the best for you.

Hi, Is there a way to initiate post deployment automated rule testing for just the items in a patch and not a whole application?

Hi, If I need to get the vehicles Data where ID in {1,2,3}, I can do this : index( ri!vehicles, wherecontains( {1, 2, 3}, ri!vehicles.id ) ) But is there any way to do the same thing with a negation (a kind of notWhereContains) ? I mean I need to get the vehicles data where ID not in {1, 2, 3}. Of course, I can then use a foreach to get the correct data, or create an exclusion list items, to apply the whereContains on the latter, but is there any other way to do it with a single simple instruction ?

Hi all, We are currently running into an issue with selecting record action items with the Cucumber for Appian framework.  We've tried every possible predefined Appian step and fixture.click related to actions and buttons, using both the action name, key and index; however, it does not seem to detect the component.  I attached the snippet of code of how the recordActionField is configured: a!recordActionField( accessibilityText: "Actions", actions: { a!recordActionItem( action: 'recordType!{cf46c7e0-d175-4d07-9daa-2d3a1739795e}ECMS Patrol.actions.{6c6e1f29-2673-4099-a78d-305b32688e93}createPatrol' ), a!recordActionItem( action: 'recordType!{46271c62-4660-4e17-a39a-a5ea6a9eca68}ECMS Incident.actions.{e51cba01-d80a-4893-a583-21c711ff357b}createIncident' ) }, style: "CALL_TO_ACTION", openActionsIn: "DIALOG", align: "END", showWhen: a!defaultValue(value: ri!showActions, default: false) )

I have a requirement where i need to filter values according to date but the field in CDT is given as date and time field.  For Eg: bookingDate in CDT is the date and time field.  But, when I filter the data in the expression rule ,  I need to get data based on booking date only not time. ( For eg: I need to get the number of people who booked the tickets for the day but i dont want  according to date and time I just want the count for the particular entire day). Can anyone please help me to solve this! Thank you in advance.
