Hi everyone, I would like to know the following thing for my process: I have a record where data is put, including users taken from a group defined inside Appian. I would like each user, when he logs into the site where this record is displayed, to see only the row corresponding to his username. For example, as in attachment below, if the operator "Canelli" log in the site, is capable to see all the rows of the site with its name and not the other rows, so only the rows with ID 6 and 14. If Piemonte log into the same site, he's capable to see only the 8th and the 9th rows and so on.   is it possible to do this? I enclose an example of a view of the site in question. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I am working on a date validation, where I want the date format based on various user locale to be converted into a common date format "dd/MM/yyyy". I am using "datetext()" function and it gets converted into the desired format whenever I tried to enter the value based on the user's calender format. But whenever I tried for other test scenarios, it fails. For example: If I enter date as "dd.MM.yyyy" in the expression of the test inputs, then in the value of the test input, I don't get the entered date in the desired format("dd/MM/yyyy") . I need every date formats of the various user locales to be converted into "dd/MM/yyyy". Please provide some suggestions. Thank you.

I would like to give users only the URL of the site and want them to use only the site. In that case, is it possible for users (site users) to use Tempo's news function? The purpose is to use the news function to communicate between users.

Does Appian's mail function support the exchange of messages between users?Also, if it is not supported, is there a function that can exchange messages?

Appian promotes navigation sidebars which gives you a possibility to have multiple interfaces on one page on one side. I really like this approach and patter but our users complains on 2 things: 1 State is not saved - when user click on something to start process (startProcessLink) then when process is done user is redirected to main page (filters are gone, Appian does not remember from which page user stared that process. 2 If you save 'state' to table (fact that user was on particular ui) then users cannot use Application on 2 or more Chrome tabs. Appian gets their state from db and move them back to same page on all tabs. Any thoughts how to address this lost state problem? Navigation patter: docs.appian.com/.../secondary-navigation.html

Hi, I'm using v22.4 of Cucumber for Appian and am trying to make sense of the following entry in the CheatSheet.feature file: # Used as relative datetime for date/time fields: Given I set start datetime Is there a way to dynamically set the date and then use as input in dd/mm/yyyy string format? I'm struggling to find any good documentation on this. Thanks, Paul

I've raised these issues to Appian in a support email, and no response was returned, and I have not seen any improvement in the problem in the year since. I've spotted two major issues with the Appian automation framework, which are just lousy coding and must be resolved. Problem 1: The Tear Down Method Currently Appian introduces the teardown method as a step in your feature file. This is a problem for two reasons.  1. Ending the test execution early will never reach the teardown method. 2. A test that fails before it reaches the teardown method will not be adequately torn down. Impact: When you do not tear down the Chrome or Ghecko driver, you have two major issues, one minor annoyance and the other more significant. First, the browser will not close. If you run the test ten times, you will have ten browsers open. This alone may not be a big deal since you can close them, but the bigger problem is that the Chrome driver instance will still be alive in your processe

Hello Team, In our self-managed environments, we are not receiving Process error alerts. Do we need to enable/specify any properties at custom.properties at APPIAN_HOME/conf directory? if so please let us what are the specific properties need to configure? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,We've migrated from one Appian instance into another. Part of the application functionality is uploading the file and storing the document id in the database.After migration we continue to use file upload and the new Appian instance will assign the document ids. Obviously in such scenario those document ids will repeat and we will end up having two records referring to two different files with the same id.The physical storage of the documents is resolved by integration with Filenet and it's not really a problem.The question that I have is if we can manipulate the sequence of assigning the document id so we can prevent duplicates (other than via a manual dummy process).<Appian on prem, v22.4>

Hi All, We have an application, where users can book the seats before going to office. Currently application working like - If user A books seat 100 for Date: 20-May-2023 and user B cannot book the same seat 100 for same day Date:20-May-2023 here, if seat 100 is already booked by other user than we are not displaying the seat 100 value in dropdown. We got one issue in production that, same seat 100 is booked by user A and B for same day 20-May-2023 at the exact time which is observed in process variable. How to handle this to avoid booking same seat for same day? We are calling process on click of Book button, here in process model activity chaining is enabled before Write to Data store entity. My doubt is whether this activity chaining causing this issue? Please suggest if any solution is available.
