we have Gmail integrated with our app and to display an email we are using appian RichTextEditor. when we open an email we observe three loading bars simultaneously, 1st loads the appian instance on Browser 2nd loads the site inside appian instance and third loads the RichTextEditor Plugin we want to pre load few objects on Load. How we can preload certain items in appian?

Is it possible to add new fields/columns to the database using an interface and automatically update record list columns and other dependent interfaces? 

I'm the Agile lead for my company and I'm trying to shorten the feedback loops for the Appian development teams I coach.  They are very resistant to splitting stories and complain that the Appian platform and its object model make splitting of large stories difficult if not impossible.  I keep pushing back against that narrative so they will try the experiment but continue to get resistance.  I've seen no evidence in my research that supports that claim.  Can anyone provide insight into whether story splitting is indeed not possible or practical for development teams employing Appian?

I want to check specific developers' changed objects based on date range, is there any way can do that?

we use AQUAMAN and Peer review for our Appian packages before moving to production environment. how can we check components in package zip file for their performance related issues which are reported after they are deployed to Production? is there any way to add these rules in AQUAMAN? or any other plug in which can be used to PREVENT these issues in future releases?

I have created a Process Calendar in DEV environment, how to promote it to UAT? Does any DevOps flow to follow up ?

I have a series of questions categorized into sections, and I want to present these questions in a grid based on their respective section names. Additionally, I need to store the answers for these questions in a separate table. How can I accomplish this?

We want to have 2 version for an application, Version1 will be the first release, when version1 on PROD, we want to start version2 implementation, that means we'll have 2 versions in the same time. We found there's a trouble to have the version control, because we have one base line, but need to support 2 versions with their own features, the objects will get conflict around both versions. My questions is there any best practice to handle such case?

I am new to Appian and We have a scenario that   we are providing one form to customers. in that form we are giving them one link (Related to another application), the provided link has login details, now my scenario was customer don't want to enter login details. we need to fetch from admin console --third party credentials and we need to pass those values to that link, is there any possibility to do these task.

Hello All, After doing an upgrade of Appian servers to the latest version as per the documentation, I am losing the data which is present previously in the older version. Is there any suggestion from your end? that will be most helpful. PFA docs.appian.com/.../Upgrade_Guide.html

If you have a database schema table with data that multiple applications need access to... 1. Do you create a single Record Type which multiple application use/share?  This in my opinion tightly couples your applications. 2. Do you create separate Record Types per application so they can evolve separately?  This in my opinion allows each application to evolve it's Record Type independently, and the only tight coupling is the shared database table structure. What are your thoughts and recommendations on the two approaches?

Hi All, We have a process model running at 8:30 AM daily which will perform some updates in the database, this process will take maximum up to 5 minutes to complete. During this time we need to freeze home page for 5 mins by showing some warning message then after 5 minutes we can display the home page. How to achieve this can someone help us with this kind of scenario.

Hi All, Can you please suggest if you have faced similar scenario, when a process is running in the background how can we show a warning message for 5 minutes and after 5 mins we have to show the page to users.

Hi, I'd like to create a form where a super admin creates groups and within those groups there are admins of each group and normal users. I'd like those admins in each group to be able to choose users from an appian list, but I don't know how to extract appian user information and display it in a table. Thanks for the help

We have DEV, QC and Production Cloud based Appian environments. When developing on the DEV environment, and creating a new Record Type which then creates a new SQL table on our cloud database schema, it generates a SQL script for you to create the table. There is also a checkbox option to apply that SQL script immediately for you to your source schema.  The same happens if you update the Record Type fields. A SQL script is generated to alter your source table for you. I'm interested to hear how everyone handles their database changes across environments when using Record Types that generate the source tables for you? Do you download and store every single SQL script as you make changes to a Record Type? If so, where do you store them? Do you manually run those scripts on your databases for each environment? Do you deploy them as part of a package which only has the SQL scripts? Or do you deploy them as part of a package which includes both the SQL scripts and your ap

Hello!I'm having a doubt about the use of the function index(), as a best practice in Appian development.In the Appian documentation appears as: index( data, index, default ), but I know that we can use the function as: index( data, index, index, index... (as many as needed), default ), to navigate between an object and it returns the value needed. The question is: Should I use nested index() functions? or Is better to use just one index function with many indexes inside? Example: {CountriesES, CountriesUS, CountriesNL} -> Cities -> Town 1 - Index(CountriesES, "Cities", "Town", null) 2 - Index(lIndex(CountriesES, "Cities", null), "Town", null).

Hi I am Learning Appian development, i have doubt how to combine two text local variables please hep me on this a!localVariables ( localVar1: Text := "Hello,", localVar2: Text := " World!" ) local!combinedText := local!localVar1 & local!localVar2

Hi All,          In our SaaS Environment, the basic user we create is not able to access the tempo interface. Only if we change him to Admin user he is able to access the environment. Has anyone faced a similar issue?

how tow write the if condition to check the two local variables are equal or not ?

Hi We are using SAML Group Synchronisation to sync Azure AD groups to our Appian groups. All works correctly. However, due to a temporary situation, we will have two Azure AD groups which should be mapped to the same group in Appian. See below, where we have the attribute 'memberOfValue' and a group name, we would need that attribute repeating. e.g. Attribute - Value memberOfValue - Group1 memberOfValue - Group2 I am thinking this is not possible and that probably we have to set up a second saml sync group with the correct attribute, then add this group as a member of the Appian group. Anyone had this scenario? Thanks.  

Hi, Currently, we are considering the possibility of configuring SAML as the authentication protocol for internal citizens, while using OAuth as the authentication protocol for regular citizens. We would like to be able to choose the authentication method based on the application being used. My specific questions are as follows: Is it possible to configure both SAML and OAuth simultaneously in Appian for different user groups? How can the appropriate authentication protocol be determined and selected based on the application being used? What are the best practices or recommendations for achieving this dual authentication configuration efficiently and securely? Thanks!
