Hi all We have a requirement to generate barcodes (EAN and ITF) images - we have the barcode numbers and all other related data. Does anyone have a useable API or plugin (the barcode utilities plugin has not been updated in over 5 years so a bit fearful of using it)

Hi, we recently update our version of Appian to 22.2 and I realized that in the Appian process modeler we can not see the Data Tab and Data Function anymore. That was very useful to see which variables we have in the process or to quickly look for functions without memorizing that. Thus, I ask, do they disable this feature in this new version, or do we have to activate that in some way? In the Documentation I've seen that they actually provide this feature: But this is what I have in my environment: Thank you for helping, regards.

Is there a way to get base64 for a given document? I have a Expression rule where one of the rule inputs is a document. I'm using this Expression rule to prepare the body to be sent in one Integration object (we need to execute some logic, and that's the reason why we are doing it in one ER). How can I get the base64? We know that we can manage it by adding a rule input in that integration object, and passing there the document which will be automatically converted to base64, but the approach mentioned above is possible? Thanks in advance

Would like to see Appian add a feature where we could setup an audible validation.  For example, we have a data collection application where the user uses a handheld scanner to scan a part number, which returns the item description and unit of measure then they can scan a qty for inventory.  It would be great if you could set it up to play a tone if the part number was not found.  I have it set up to display a message, but if the user is not looking at the screen after each scan then they won't see the message. I am looking into the scanner hardware to see if there is a function I can use, but doubtful.

I am trying to use a!cardChoiceField but need capability to adjust the size of the cards, specifically make them wider. The documentations says to put the card choices component in a columns layout with a specified width to control the number of cards in each row. How do I do it?

so lets say clothesType is declared as string in db. in a rule, i am iterating over this variable using for each loop. the problem is i can't declare the clothesType as an array as it would affect existing functionality. If i could, it would solve the problem. So, are there any built in appian functions that i can use to run a for each loop over a value that is accepting one value only?

We have an bug where: WHEN a user is in a user input task and allows the timer (1 hr) to terminate the task THEN they are stuck in this screen and not able to close out of the task with the EXCEPTION of closing out of the tab.    My question is besides extending the timer is there any way to circumvent this error or allow users to exit out of the dialogue box without closing the tab?

Hi, We have a use case whereby we are looking to do some integration to DevOps and deploy certain packages as needed.  Currently using an four on-prem, azure environments (Dev/Test/PreProd/Prod). What we are looking for is some sort of UI (which we can design and build) where we can select from a list of packages and send this to devops or network location which would then initiate a pipeline release in DevOops and any automated testing that is required. I've had a look and from what I can see, the information relating to packages i.e. names, objects within etc, is not something I can find.  Is this because the information is within the Appian system database or is there a plugin or functions available that I can use to gather this information? UI would consist of a drop down with all packages on that environment. Option to group 1 or more into a bigger package, perform 4-eye review on it and then send to devops.  I know this will need to be built etc but need to fig
