We are using Self Managed instance of Appian in Kubernetes. We have configured session timeout for 20 minutes in Admin console and using native login. This is working for System administrators but not working for Basic users. Do we need to update anywhere else for the same or do we need to configure this in server level.

I'm creating a new interface object to display several pie charts. The data for the charts is stored in a local variables in the parent interface object which references my children interfaces. In terms of performance, what is the most efficient method to access the data required for the pie charts? Create a rule input on the children interfaces and pass the local variables data from the parent interface or query the data separately in the child interface to avoid passing it from the parent interface?

We have annual security audits in our company. This year Appian entered in this process and the auditor is consulting us about backups. We have contracted the Essential cloud service. We understand that Appian has some sort of solution (cluster) on top of cloud environments. Where can I find this documentation? Is there a recommended procedure by Appian to backup our information? How can I ensure that in the event of an event I can recover our productive environment?

Hello,  I am having trouble with the following use case : we receive 3 large Excel files daily (~60 000 rows and 40 columns), that we need to read and write into Appian Cloud Database. So far, we've been doing that this way :  1. Use an ETL to read the file and batch the extracted JSON data 2. Send the data in batches to Appian with an API exposed by Appian 3. The API triggers a process that write the data to the table (Using the node Write to Data Store Entity) However, this approach is starting to cause some memory issues, as there is more than 150 processes trigerred daily, and each of these processes contains large process variables (even with batching, we still have 150 processes dealing with 500 rows each). I am wondering what would be the best way to deal with this issue according to best practices. I've thought about using a!writeToMultipleDataStoreEntities directly in our API instead of triggering a process, to avoid having too many process running, but

Hi, I am currently interested about best practices for process deployment, and I've read a thread (please see the link below) about a critical issue. I've read a reply explaining that "key-value pair mapping" is a best practice for connecting Interface/SAIL with process to avoid deployment issues. Could you explain me what this best practice is about please ? or just give me a litlle example ?

We have an Appian sandbox server for training on our on-premise Appian servers, and we're facing an issue with component plug-in approval verification failing.

Hi there. If I select the “Generate groups and folders to protect and organize objects” option when creating a new Application, what groups are created by default? I think they were “Administrators” and “Users” but I saw in a forum that someone was talking about the “Designers” group being created as well. Is this true?
