New to Appian

Can someone please provide screenshots of how and where I can find this option in my lap environment? In the Build view of your application, click New > Group. 2. In the Create Group dialog, configure the following properties: ● Name: Enter AX Users. ● Description: Enter Parent group for all roles in the AX application. ● Parent Group and Group Members: Leave these fields empty because this group does not have a parent or group member yet. I have been struggling to find the option to create groups in BUILT view. Please let me know if you need any additional information about my instance. Inatace link Applications • Appian Designer Working on Exercise 3: Manage Users and Groups Manage Users In Appian, application security is configured with groups, which contain your application’s users. Do I need to Create users first before the groups? Please help!

I am trying to check the version of the appian community environment. This is to verify if it is a compatible version to do the exercises that i have in the courses.

Hello, I’m new to Appian building and process. I do have extensive knowledge from a business analyst view and have worked within an actual build and gathered criteria. I’m looking over the optional IT project in the learning path and although I’ve gone through the courses, I am completely lost on where to start. They do have the example AIS build but no step by step guides. Any suggestions on how to approach this? I feel like I didn’t learn anything, which I know is untrue, but the level of “lost” is real! I would love to practice with this build but not sure how to go about it. I learn best by seeing and hands on or watch and do as I go. Thank you in advance. 

I want to keep documents from each speaker in a separate folder.  I create the folder in a separate process and store the name of the folder in a field the Record Type of Speaker.  Now when I want to upload documents, I need to set the Folder parameter in the a!fileUploadField().  When I set the target to the field, i get an error that Appian cannot cast the value of Record Field into a type of folder.  I guess that I have to use the Cast() function to do that. However, I can not figure out how to format the Cast function to do that.  I read the documentation for Cast() and TypeOf(), but I am still lost. target: cast( typeof("folder"),'recordType!PMSO Speaker.fields.folder'), Could someone please let me know how to proceed?

/*fetch the data group by colour and for each colour how many vechicles are there in that record type*/ a!queryRecordType( recordtype:recordType!AA Vehicle, fields:a!aggregationFields( groupings: { a!grouping( field:recordType!AA Vehicle.fields.color, alias:"color" ) }, measures: { a!measure( field:'recordType!AA Vehicle.fields.vehicleId', function:"COUNT", alias:"countofvehicles" ) } ), pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( startIndex: 1, batchSize: 100, sort: a!sortInfo( field:"countofvehicles" ) ) )

I am new to Appian and I have recently started the Appian Developer learning path. When I go to request my site, I get an email saying I cannot be provided with an environment at this time. Not sure how I will be able to progress in the course without my environment. I started this learning path yesterday. Any help would be appreciated.

I have set up several drop down selections and know that if you do not set the value and saveInto parameters, the value once selected does not "stick".  As soon as you move to another field, the value selected disappears. This is a fairly simple form for uploading a document.  The user selects the Document Type and then enters the name of the document.  Once those two values are populated, the file upload is shown.  The Rule Imputs for this screen are: spkrDocRecord of record type Speaker Document spkrDocIsUpdate of type boolean speakerRecord of record type Speaker a!localVariables( local!spkrDocRecord: ri!spkrDocRecord, local!DocTypes: rule!PMSO_getDocTypeforLU(), local!file, a!formLayout( label: if( ri!SpkrDocIsUpdate, "Update Speaker Document", "Upload Speaker Document" ), contents: { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!dropdownField( /*data: 'record

Hey,  I am working through the Appian Developer Course.  I have come across an issue on build an application step 8, I'm hoping to get some help with.  The image below shows the step I am currently working on (.8 on page 6) The task is to replace the category, status and condition numeric values with the values from the look up table created in an earlier task.  I have not been able to get this to work, only the null value "_" shows on my interface.  The relationships have been checked multiple times.  Any advice on where I have gone wrong would be much appreciated.  Many thanks

Hi, We are using version 22.2.425.0. We had to restart Appian, so stoped it and tried to restart it  following the Appian Documentation (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.1/Linux_Installation_Guide.html#part-3-startup-and-setup).

You are creating an interface and pass data out to its parent interface. What type of variable is used to achieve this?
