There is a request to have a notification section in Application . This would be things like a document has been shared, an approval for an action, etc. Basically anything we currently send a system notification email, but this would be within Application. A notification count show up on the user profile image at the top right corner, like we would see on a smart phone. If we click on the notification icon, we could then see all new notifications, like viewing the emails on a screen in Application . Is it possible to achieve this functionality.

Hi All, We have built an application wherein user inserts some records in excel and upload it to appian. We then parse those information and display them in appropriate appian controls. One issue that we are facing currently is related to Date or Date&Time entered by the user. As user can enter date and time which may or may not be accurate in terms of how appian wants those data. Hence, It results into an error.  Is there any way to figure out whether the date is valid or not as per appian? If its not, We have decided to show them in readonly textfield. Any help here will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

I'm having issue with my certification as I still have expiry date for certification even though it is showing as Inactive, please see the attached screenshot.

Please suggest if anyone knows anything, that could help me a lot.

Hi All, We have an application where we use application action to trigger the process model and am able to see the action on tempo(DEV environment). Whereas I couldnt see it on TEST environment even though am part of same group as in DEV environment.  Could you suggest any ways to troubleshoot this issue. I have Checked application security Checked process model security Additional Information: TEST is on latest version compared to DEV now. Thanks in advance

Hi There! As the following screen shot shows, I do not see the name of the process model the Subprocess node is configured to execute. It only impacts the display of the model name. If I right click the node and select Edit Sub-Process Model, it opens the correct process model. If I click the Refresh button on the setup tab, it correctly refreshes the list of parameters. I only noticed this behaviour recently. It is only in our DEV environment. I have tried clearing my browser cache, restarting the browser, using a different browser. I am a System Administrator and have the same application security as my peers. I am the only one experiencing this behaviour. Any ideas what is impacting my profile in this environment?

Problem and Solution ---> Received this error when I tried to compare two variables values, one is of dictionary of data eg: { category: "vehicle", type: "car" }  and other list of dictionary data eg: {{ category: "vehicle", type: "car" }}. This double curly braces in the 2nd example introduced this error, when I tried to match the value with 1st example. Hence, made the change accordingly by adding append function to the 1st example. Used append like the below code.

Hi All, We are doing a POC in which the users can select the list of appian objects that they have modified on a particular day. We are planning to use a picker field which will give the Appian Objects as Suggestions so that the users can select the their objects. Just wanted to check if there is any function which would give the list of all the Appian Objects from a given application uuid or name? Thanks in Advance!

Has anyone successfully installed Appian on a Mac that uses the M1 Chip (Apple Silicon)? Currently I am having an issue as the Dockerfiile is using centos7 which is created for Intel chips, and its resulting an error because of the M1.  Getting this error when doing a docker-compose build: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: no match for platform in manifest sha256:691c55aabb3c4e3b89b953dd2f022f7ea845e5443954767d321d5f5fa394e28c: not found Another example of the error: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67911250/cant-build-docker-compose-on-m1-chipset  I know this is not an Appian issue but anyone that has been through the same thing and managed to find a solution would help a lot!

Hi, How to prevent running of truncate and delete query accidentally on database table. Is there any role and access setup can be done to prevent this considering having "System Admin" access in APPIAN. Regards Bihitak

Hi all, we've been confronted to a strange case. For a better understanding we've reproduced the behavior in a expression rule : if({ 1 } = 1, { 2, 3, 4 }, {}) returns 2. Obviously, comparing a list with an integer is the error here. But, then, the result should be either the empty list or null or an error message. For more fun, you can test : if({true, false, true},{2,4,6},{3,5,7}) In our mind, a type error should be returned. Regards.

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement where i can reuse local variable array. For Example a!localvariable( local!iterations:{1,2,3}, local!value, a!foreach( items:local!iterations, expression{ append( local!value, fv!index )})) The output i need is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 1 2 3rd Iteration 1 2 3 But the output the code is generating is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 2 3rd Iteration 3. I thought that local variable should be append with the value and  can use for next iteration but it is initializing every time with null value rather than appendvalue. Could you please help me to get the output i need Thanks In Advance!!!
