Hi All, Want to open local system path/network path link from APPIAN SAIL form. How to do it? Thanks,

Hi All, I am aware that this error occurs when the time taken to fetch the data exceeds the threshold. We get these errors randomly for multiple expressions which use query entity on different tables/views but not frequently. I am afraid it may become worse when data present in DB increases in terms of rows. Can you please suggest some of the best options to mitigate this risk or avoid these errors, at Appian end, DB end or Server end? Thanks.

Hi All , I have a Date and Time field in my CDT (type DATE in the Oracle database). This field has a date and a time. I create a query entity rule with the filter: a!queryFilter(field: "recertificationDate",operator: "=",value: ri!recertificationDate,applyWhen: not(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!recertificationDate))) In the database, I have records with the date and time of 4/15/2019 4:05 PM but when I test my rule with ri!recertificationDate = 4/15/2019 4:05 PM, the rule is returning NO records. Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi All, We have just upgraded to Appian 20.4. I am not sure if the issue due to this but facing very strange scenario when using todate() function in an expression. todate("08/01/2021")<=todate(null)  --> this expression ideally should return false, but instead returning true. It was working as expected earlier. Please advise. Thanks and Regards, Diksha

Hello,I'm using Export Data Entity to CSV smart service. This gives me CSV output and the CSV has a column named TransId, this column/field is a varchar in Appian.It may contain text and/or sometimes just integer numbers more than 11 digits.The problem here is when the value of this column is more than 11 digits then CSV by default shows value in a scientific format like 1.12233E+13 until the cell of the CSV is formatted to Integer.Is there a way to get the value correctly by default?(This smart service does not have input to take template unlike 'Export CDT to Excel' smart service).

Hi all, We want to import an excel/csv file from the file system in the same machine in which Appian runs. Do we need a plugin for that? We can use SFTP services or any other plugin but I wanted to know if Appian offers somethign out of the box. When I look at the excel tools that we have in place they expect that the file is already in the Appian internal DMS. what I have seen so far is that we can use collab filesystem utilities or SFTP utilities. It seems that Appian does not offer something out of the box yet. I am tempted to use the collab filesystem utilities because as far as I know the SFTP utilities require a SFTP client installed in the machine. Any recommendation?
