Recently one of the dev updated the Excel tools plugin from 2.0.2 to new 2.2.13 version in Appian and this has lead to breakage of the Export CDT To Excel smart service. can anyone suggest what can be done to resolve this issue?Note:  We are on Cloud. We tried to use the new Export Data Store to Excel plugin however it does not support XLSM files. EDIT: Export Data Store to Excel also does not support alias with space in it. this makes it hard to generate excel files in user friendly manner. We use the generated files to upload to a system and it requires header to be in specific manner and does not accept with different headers.   Example:       Previously: First Name      Now: First_Name Thanks,Bhushan.

In creating new group, I have recently created an application with the new group name Acme All Users, but I deleted my entire application and wanted to start over. Now, when I create the same application name and same group name as Acme All Users, I see the error saying Name already exist. Where do I go to totally delete this group so I can start from scratch.

Hi All, In one of my POC I am having requiremnt of converting a document(jpg,pdf) into base64 and storing the base64 in Database. I am using Base64 to Database Services to store the document, but instead of base64 string it is storing Appian ID itself. Below are the screenshots of smart service node and database design. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks Table Structure (also I tried Varbinary, blob data type for base64)

We are having a requirement where we are getting values from an external application via a webAPI. In the web API we are casting the data into a CDT.The value we receive from the application would be something like.{"person" : {"name": "Shaun","age" : 27},"address" : {"addressLine" : "24-Wall Street","city":"London"}}.After this we are casting this into person and address CDT in appian and passing to the process model. If the person and address values is empty we would be receiving the data like {"person" : {},"address" :{}}.Now when I am casting this null Data inside CDT, this is getting casted and passed in process model like [name=null;age=null][addressLine=null;city=null]. I need to perform a null check in process model on these values which is getting failed.Also when I am checking the length of "person" or "address" its showing as 1 instead of 0.

The "Save Interface As Action"  option is not available to me in the Save Interface As dialog. Can anyone please help on why this behavior? Thanks in advance.

The only documentation I've seen does not have any examples for this object type. I managed to create one shown below but I don't know if this is correct.

Hello All,  Email notifications (process alerts and emails from send email node) are not working.This was working fine and users were receiving emails until last week. but they are not receving any  emails for the last two days. There was no change in custom.properties file alsoDid someone face a similar issue?

I'd like to create an expression rule that will set the branding for logo, logo alt text, and/or favicon to either a value specified by expression rule, or (if that is null) the default Appian graphics/alt-text.  Also...if the logo/favicon is saved as a document, is this how you display the correct image? todocument(<id as provided by expression rule>)  In essence, I want to write the Expression for the branding as something like these lines: a!defaultValue(todocument(rule!getBranding(attribute: "logoImage")), <Appian's logo's ID>) a!defaultValue(todocument(rule!getBranding(attribute: "logoAltText")), <Appian's default alt-text for the logo>) So, basically--if the rule!getBranding with its specified ri!attribute comes up empty, use the Appian defaults for each of logo image, logo alt-text, and favicon.

Hello dear APPIAN community,  I am pretty new to this platform, so I'm still figuring out the capacity of APPIAN and its limitations. But there is something that I would like to confirm before I invest more effort. Is it possible to integrate SHAREPOINT SPACES just like SHAREPOINT? If not, what would I need to do to  have a 3d viewer that the user can click and interact with on a APPIAN based app. All on the web application platform (and not mobile) of course. I would really appreciate if anyone could give me an answer or at least some directions as to how would I be able to achieve this. Thanks in advance. 

I had an idea for how to make PM-generated Emails look on-brand, but I don't know if it's currently able to be implemented. Basically, storing the colors, logo, anything that can be defined with an Expression on the Site designer page in a database table.  Retrieve these branding attributes using an expression rule, and use them to display the Site appropriately. Also be able to access up-to-date branding using the same expression rule, which can be saved as a PV and thus influence an expression-based Send Email Smart Service. As I see it, storing Brand attributes in the database also allows for easy updates to a site's look, while making the transition seamless for any branded emails.  So my question is--can a site's properties/attributes be accessed using any native (or plugin) function?  I was also looking around to see if I can find the UUID of the site itself, but I can only seem to find the UUID for a Constant version of that Site.

I have an interface that has four dropdown components with dynamic choiceValues based on a query. When a value in the first dropdown is selected, it filters the values of the second dropdown. The second dropdown filters the third and the third dropdown filters the fourth. Each dropdown is disabled until a value is selected from each of the previous dropdowns. This works perfectly in the interface.  However, in the process model there is an option to "edit existing equipment" that will query a database and fill in fields in the interface, possibly including the four dropdown components mentioned above. When I test this process, I get an error that seems to be telling me that a query for one of the dropdowns in the interface is returning null when it shouldn't.  Hopefully this makes sense, please feel free to ask for clarification on anything. I have included the relevant code below. Thank you in advance for your help! Here is the query in the interface that gene

Anyone willing to offer a step-by-step guide on how to download and store Images within Appian Application for use on the UIs. I have developed this application using a!webImage, but I would like the images to be instead stored on the application server. I have not had luck checking the documentation on how to do that. Thank you in advance

what is the release date for the community edition?

Hi i have a summary view where Im passing an interface with a parameter user type. That User type is being converted into Text through a process model. How do I pass that variable through the summary interface? Thanks

As per current set up, we can't send an email exceeding the text length of 1000. Is there any way to increase this length? We need to add a table in the email that contains records and the length goes beyond 1000 chars. Thanks, Pooja

When a query is performed the response is a dataset which contains a dictionary. The issue is that the dictionary does not have the proper type casting for the attributes (they are just any types). This means that anytime a comparison has to be done, or a wherecontains is used we must first convert the result of the dataset into a proper data type.  Side note, can we just make wherecontains perform basic type casting.

Can anyone explain why and(null)  is true

I would like to call one record with parameters from within a parent record list.Example: Assume that there are two record lists: one of all companies and of all products of these companies. Is it possible to create a link for each line of the company record list which beams me to the (same) record list of all products, just each time with a different active filter, so that you only see the products of the corresponding company?The only idea I have is to create something in the 1st record under "Views", which is then displayed when clicking a record element, namely an interface that contains a grid as one can give the record element to the interface as a parameter. Is there an easier than that? Somethin like a parameterised call to a record list?

is ther any google service that will use to do comparing the signatures tht comes from the digital documents

We are using smart service Export SQL to Excel in Appian to generate Excel report. All columns are retrieved as expected but only date columns are transformed into Text fields and applied filters in Excel are Text not Date related. If columns are taken directly from database it works fine but presented formatting is Excel is "MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS" but our requirements are that all date fields have to be presented as "DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS" . Using TO_CHAR or TO_TIMESTAMP functions didn't work again exported date columns are formatter as a text. Columns which are part from the CDT are Date and Time format as well. Do you have any idea how we can convert date fields to the mentioned format without losing date format after export to Excel? There is a similar topic but without any answers:  Appian Community. Thank you!

I want to make this Form. It is not allowed to move to the next steps unless the person fills in the required fields. But I can't activate the "required" feature, even though I added it in HTML. Therefore, I want you to help me and add or activate a required feature to Exact field in that form. But I don't want all the fields, I just want them when I put the word required. And when I add new fields, I want them to work as well. I also want to increase the width of the form to 90% of the total area, while also increasing the size of the progress bar.here is my full (HTML, CSS and JS):  https://jsfiddle.net/Maroz/s19q3gnf/3/
