I have an expression that takes in a dse and spits out the column names of everything in that dse. Unfortunately, the way it does this is by querying the dse and then running a!keys() on the first entry of the result to figure that all out. While this works perfectly well when the dse has values in it, it will error out if the table is empty. So is there any way to get the same information directly from a DSE that doesn't have data in it? 

An often occuring frustration when testing out an interface is that it will work fine within the interface editor, but once we throw it on a site, something goes wrong. That wouldn't be too big a deal as it's all part of development, but whenever we test interfaces on a site, there is no way to see what values the variables are getting for diagnostic purposes. We can hide/show the components on the site, but is there some way for developers to also see variable values?

I set in the User Task the ReAssignment privileges to "No privilege" because I don't want that a user can reassign a task if another assigned the same to himself. But the "Reassign" button keeps staying when I open the task. Any advice?

I'm trying to generate a PDF Document based on data collected in an interface, including some charts that Appian generates based on some of that information. However, I can't figure out how to get the charts into the PDF. I tried using the "Generate Chart Image" Plug-in but it completely changed the formatting of the chart and doesn't look nearly as good. Does any one know of a way to get the charts into a PDF document (or other kind of document that could be converted to a pdf) while keeping the same formatting? Thanks in advance.

Hi Team, I need to set the timer which shall run at 4.55 am every day and get data from view which has range query 5am last day to 5am current day when the job ran, but it is not getting the data even though all timer are set right in PM and in range query of DB. The process gets executed at 4.55 am but it does not get data , but when we check view manually it gets the data. So at what time zone this PM is running? And what time zone DB is running? is it GMT I am little bit confuse that shall I un-check this box "Override with Initiator's Time Zone"  as it is by default checked. Regards Bihitak

Message driven beans can use aliases for routing the email messages received. You can create aliases for process models UUIDs, process model IDs, processes, or events. Configuring an email alias is recommended when handling legacy email addresses. To add a routing alias: Open (or create) <APPIAN_HOME>/conf/custom.properties. Add a custom alias definition using the following pattern. conf.mailhandler.alias.= For example, with an email alias of HelpDeskRequest@mydomain.topdomain, define a process model start event target using a UUID with the following parameters. 1 conf.mailhandler.alias.HelpDeskRequest=processmodeluuid0004cedf-a045-8000-234b-c0a8031014c0 What does alias means here??

Hello, I'm trying to create a gridLayout component whose components can be hierarchically selected (this means, clicking on a specific row will also select all its subrows, and their respective subrows, all the way til the last hierarchy level).  The thing is, I've assigned an unique id to each row from which I can know its parent rows, but in order to build this selection system, I should be able to loop over all row ids so I know if they have specific parent rows. Hence, my problem is getting all row ids. Is there any way to do it?

What would be the best way to conclude which of the two values ( text type ) is higher ?  touniformstring(1500000)<touniformstring(14285714) : this is returning as false . ( O/P should be True for mathematically to be correct ) touniformstring(1245) < touniformstring(2234) : This is returning as true as expected .  Is there any other idea to compare two text type value's to find out which is higher ?  P.S : The value is of text type . Changing the value to a number or decimal is out of scope .

Hi there! I am attempting to select a Card from a Menu Tab using Cucumber for Appian. The script is simply a smoke test hoping to click on the links/buttons/cards. Clicking on the card will link to a process model that I would just take a snapshot of.  The code looks like this but button is not the correct keyword. The snapshots attached will display the Appian Designer snippets: = load( local!actions: { { actionName: cons!ENT_LABEL_CREATE_USER, icon: "address-card", processModel: cons!ENT_PM_ADD_USER, showWhen: isusermemberofgroup_21r2(loggedInUser(),cons!ENT_GROUP_SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATORS). I am attempting to click on the button 'Create User'. It is being described as a Form Layout>Column Layout so maybe I am not selecting the correct Gherkin language. Is this a "I click on (card) (action) (button) (link) (menu)"? Sorry but just a little lost here!  /resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/2022_2D00_06_

Hello! I'm trying to implement a tree grid using the gridlayout() component in an Interface. I've been able to make it hierarchical (Once you click on a row, new subrows appear just under it) with loops and local variables to show or hide those subrows I now need to make the rows selectable on the grid, but I specifically also want that if I click a row, its subrows get automatically selected as well To give a little more of context, imagine a dictionary of 6 keys where every key defines a level in the tree grid. First all distinct values for the first key appear, and when clicking in one of them, all distinct values for the second key of elements that have that clicked value on the first key appear.
