Hi Team, Is there a way to dynamically execute the record actions within Appian, with the action name saved in DB.  I'm aware that we can dynamically execute the process model by passing in the UUID (which can be save in DB as a text) but the business ask is to open up a task/UI in a dialog box which cannot be achieved through a!startprocessLink. And this was why we configured the PM as a record action and opened it as a dialog. Is there any means to dynamically execute the record action by retrieving its name from DB. TIA

I am getting values from database and I am displaying it and the filter is working fine. Now the Requirement is i need to add NULL Name in dropdown and display those names that are NULL. I am using append(local!dropdown,"NULL Name").  local!dropdown-- It has a rule that is used to display Dropdown value. My doubt is I need to Display NULL Name dynamically, i.e: if any value is Null then only i can see this option in dropdown. I am using below code but its wrong(as am comparing directly with NULL and value can be like: {Name1,Name2,Name3,Null}) can someone help me on this local!dropdownList: if(local!dropdown="NULL", append("NULL Name"),local!dropdown)

Hi, As the log files are generated in Appian and we too can view and download them. But I have a doubt about a few. Can you please solve them? I listed my questions here:     1. What is Appian Default log clean-up configuration?     2. What is the log generation frequency?     3. As the log files are generated and stored, do they delete automatically or can I delete them manually?  Thanks.

Hi All, If we go with the Appian Cloud Database Encryption,(https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Appian_Cloud_Database_Encryption.html#default-encryption-for-tables) 1.  What is the performance impact - the article mentions small performance impact. Has anyone done this and what was the impact on performance(specific in milliseconds,seconds)? 2.  We have views defined in application which are used to display some dashboards on UI - will these be impacted as well? 3.  As per article,the phpMyAdmin will continue to show data as before encryption so how do we verify that encryption is working correctly

Hii,   In the process of moving the log files from Appian to AWS cloud watch, I found a way i.e to possibly download the .csv and .log files in bulk amounts and then move them to the Aws S3 Bucket. So to do so I found a function in the SFTP plug-in, "queryappianlogs()" but not sure what are the parameters to pass like the SQL statements. Can you please help me to sort out this one, this allows me to download fixed to 1000 rows.

I'm in the appian designer and I'm trying to sort my datasets by description. Normally if you use an underscore "_" as the first character, entries with the "_" as its first character will appear at the top of the list when sorting alphabetically. Not with Appian however  Anything with an "_" as its first character sorts to the bottom of the list, not the top. Example  Any NameBny NameCny Name_ny Name Why? No one else seems to do it this way. I've worked with dozen of applications and none of them sort the "_" character last like this.  Is this a bug or is Appian taking a page from MS' playbook and assumes that it knows better than everyone how sorting should work? How can I fix this or find a work around? I don't want to resort to using 1, 2, 3... in order to force my descriptions to sort properly.

Hi All, I have an Map operator which contains key value pairs as  {eventId:6,actualsId:1,planId:2} i saved it in a process variable in a script task and then when i tried doing the value as  pv!map.eventId it is saving the value as 6, if i do index(pv!map,"eventId",999) it is saving as 999 instead of 6. Not sure what is the issue. Any one faced such kind of issue in process model. Please Note : I tried this in Process model not in rule. In rule it is working fine.

Hi everyone,  I have an interface that contain a submit button to submit a request, that when the submit button is clicked, it will start a process model by a!startProcess() in a!save(). After clicking the submit button, I want that process model to not run until 21:00 that day. How do I set the timer event to achieve that result? The button will be clicked every day, and I want to delay that day's process instances until 21:00 each day, not just 1 single day. I'm not sure how to define the date and time yet. Could any one help? Thank you!
