I understand that approval from Appian is required to use component plugins, but do I also need approval from Appian for the use of tools to create component plugins?I'm using Appian Cloud, and I couldn't find a detailed description, so please tell me the flow up to the point of creating a component. thank you.

Hi all, I have the following requirement.  I have a related action in the application record where I am updating the application details.  I am updating several forms in the application like "Address Details, Educational Details, Experience Details, References etc".  I have separate screens and process models for editing each section. In the Update Application screen, I am displaying these section names and Edit link near the section names.  So when I click the "Edit" link the respective screen opens and I am able to edit the details of that section. The problem I am facing is when I click the edit button, the process opens in a new tab instead of the same tab,  I am using a!startprocesslink to edit the details.  I want the edit process to open in the same tab, and when I finish editing the process, I want to return to the same update application screen.  How can I achieve this? Thanks, Brinda Sateesh

I wanted to ask if there is the possibility of taking the exam in Spanish? Regards!

I am getting this response in the integration object when using the connected systems (oauth client credentials)The authorization is successful in the connected system. If I make the request in postman, I get 403, which is correct as I am still fixing the application permissions. It seems as if the integration object was not adding the bearer token to the request.

Hi All,  Recently when we are trying to resolve Health Check UI highlighted issues for our application we got one Yellow warning as "Array of primitive type detected"There is one CDTtype!TEST_CDT( id, name, documentId ) <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="documentId" type="xsd:int"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Column(name="document_id", nullable=false, columnDefinition="INT(11)")</xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:element>This document is mapped as Number(Integer) and is Array, which is giving the above warning. ISSUE: When I am checking the database the table does not have this column and still data store verification is being passed. Values are being stored in this variable and are being queried too. I am not able to understand how this column is not present in database and still mapped in CDT.

Hello Community, I am working on a form where employees enter all their basic details and also upload a profile picture of them. These employees already have an Appian user account. My requirement is to update the profile pic document ID in a database table and also update that particular user's profile picture in Appian. Since Update User Profile Smart Service doesn't have the option to update the profile picture of an user, I searched in App market and came across a third party plugin named "User Profile Picture Utilities" but it is not working as expected. When added it to process model, it runs fine without any error but the profile picture of the user is not updated. Is there any other way to change the Profile picture of Appian user account other than smart services? Also, I would like to know if there is an option to disable the Profile section for users (Please refer to the attached image)? Thanks in Advance!

I would like to utilize the API to achieve the functionality of the embedded view. JavaScript is required for implementation.However, upon further investigation, I found that HTML rendering is not supported within Appian, and that it was necessary to retrieve the HTML generated by an external system from the URL.In addition, OAUTH authentication is required to realize embedded views by API. If so, is it correct to think that authentication is also done by an external system that renders HTML? If possible, I would like to complete it only between the system with the embedded view and Appian. thank you. en.developer.box.com/.../

Can we define document retention or archieval process for documents saved into KC or in any Appian folder. Can it be retrived also on demand?

Hello, I'm trying to parse a pdf that contains data in a table format and table data cells contain decimal values. However, some cells are blank and contain no data. When I use getpdftext() function to parse the data, the delimiter between 2 adjacent cells and between 2 cells with a missing cell value in between is always a <space>. Due to this, I'm unable to map the correct values to the correct column/header. Let me know if someone has an approach to resolving this issue. Thanks,

Multiple Excel formulas are not working. For example xlookup when used is not giving value in preview mode means data is not going to the database hence output also not generated properly.

I added a tab component to an interface I was building and added 4 additional tabs to the 3 that come with it automatically. I had all 7 formatted the same and working perfectly fine as each was clicked. However, I discovered that I had missed a needed tab that meant to go in the 5th slot, so I added another tab, moved it up to the 5th spot in the component configuration section, and then went through that it along with the 3 that moved down were all updated and formatted correctly. Now however, when clicking through the tabs, only the first 4 tabs become selected and show their given information below it, the new tab along with the others that moved down the list are selectable now, clicking on them just updates the page but does not change the selected button. I've been through the code and everything looks as it should I think, does anyone have any thoughts why it wouldn't be working now? Coding for the tabs: a!localVariables( local!selectedTab: 1,

Hi! I have two records with different record actions in separated process models (create purchase order vs create invoice). In this case, I would like to be able to initiate the process of invoice creation based on the purchase order data (id, supplier, and other data passed automatically to the create invoice interface) My trouble here is that I need to do this from the summary view for each purchase order ID (until now I had a different action in each record view).  I was thinking about creating a button in the summary view, but I don´t know how to pass the variables in a correct way or the best practice here. Which options do you recommend? Creating a button and link it to the proccess model to create the invoice? Create a related action? My process steps would be something like this: 1) User clicks in the summary view of the purchase order 2) In the summary view, there should appear a button to make an invoice with the PO data 3) The data collected should flow to

Hello All, We need to show the generated docs in the interface, and if there is any error in the document generation need to show an error to the user. Document creation takes time so we created the PM to generate the document and used the process report for the generate document process model. We are using queryProcessAnalytics in the interface with a refresh variable to check the "generate document" process status. We need to stop re-querying the queryProcessAnalytics if any error is received from the process report, used the below code to achieve this. local!processReportData: a!refreshVariable( value: if( true(), /*Some conditions*/ a!queryProcessAnalytics( report: <<process report>>, contextProcessModels: <<process model to be checked>> query: a!query( /*c1 - processStatus (1=Completed)c3 - process Idc6 - errorMessage*/ logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: a!queryFilter( field: &quot
