New to Appian

Hi there Appian community, I am on step 6 of updating the layout and configuring components on the step by step #8. For this step we must select correct values under display value (ex: for Make, select ri!record.make.) however, as highlighted in the picture, there is no option for that and when I type it manually, nothing populates. Any advice?/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/62/Screenshot-2025_2D00_09_2D00_30-at-11.10.55_2F20_AM.png 

I passed this exam today. How do I prove it? I don't see it anywhere in my appian account. Also, it was proctored by ProctorU and all their site says is that I took the test. No indication of the result. I passes with an 83.3% score

Hi everyone, I’m following a Step by Step #10 tutorial to create a related action for my record type. I configured the Create New Related Action dialog as shown in the attached screenshot, but when I test it, I get this error: Expression evaluation error: Syntax error. Details: Cannot create an identifier with zero length key I’ve already added a Key value, but the error still appears. I suspect it may be related to the Context expression, but I’m not sure what exactly is wrong. Has anyone faced this issue before or can point out what I might be missing? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance [emoticon:4baf9c67c1b843c6b4ddedea33023652] TRANSLATE with x English Arabic Hebrew Polish Bulgarian Hindi Portuguese Catalan Hmong Daw Romanian Chinese Simplified Hungarian Russian Chinese Traditional Indonesian Slovak Czech Italian Slovenian Danish Japanese Spanish Dutch Klingon Swedish English Korean Thai Estonian Latvia

Hi Appian Community, I am planning to register for an upcoming Appian certification exam. Before proceeding, I wanted to confirm if a name format difference would cause any issues during ID verification. My government-issued ID shows my name as K Jaiganesh, but I intend to register using Jaiganesh Kamaraj, which I commonly use in professional settings. Could you please confirm if this would be acceptable, or advise on how I should proceed to avoid any discrepancies during the exam? Thank you for your support. Thanks & Regards, Jaiganesh

Hi All, I basically created a custom between date for my users. The purpose of it is basically to mimic the start date of a month to the end date of the month for my data. Shown below is basically what it does: My question here is this. From my understanding, Appian's database stores any datetimes column as UTC, before converting it back to whatever timezone the user is from during the interface display. However, what exactly should I set as my between date during the process of filtering? I'm unsure of how exactly the query filter will communicate with my cloud database (my record type) to retrieve data. My worry is that the values are inaccurate and data is wrongly displayed and calculated due to the some edge cases, e.g. on the last day of the month. Here is my code for the between: As you can see from the "Chosen From Date" and "Chosen To Date", I initially attempted to custom fit it to my timezone. During this process, I returned the value create

Hi there Appian community. I basically completed the step by step #5 however, when clicking view record list I have been receiving this pop-up error message. Any advice on how I can fix the filter expression so it is able to evaluate properly?/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/62/Screenshot-2025_2D00_09_2D00_30-at-9.31.38_2F20_AM.png

Hello all! I've just started an internship as a dev and am still picking up on Appian. Currently, as part of a feature I'm developing, I've implemented an algorithm to produce a list of dates, each with consistent interval. To simplify things, I first made a helper function that produces next date based on inputs, and iterate n number of times through reduce() in the wrapper, producing following dates by feeding in previous results. This algorithm properly populates a list of dates in the expression rule test, however, there is a bit of nuance when using the algorithm to display the dates on the interface.  The problem is that the refresh condition of local variables in the helper (which is the iterated function in reduce()) is not compatible with reduce(), and the only work around is to declare each local variable as a refreshVariable() with "refreshAlways: true". The error message states that all looping functions, with the exceptio

Hi there! I am working on the step by step #5 and I am at the part where I design record types, specifically creating the W#SA maintenance record type. I ran into the issue of not having editing access in order to GENERATE EVENT RECORD TYPES, and when I tried editing my access to be an admin/editor, I believe I removed the admin group somehow, because now it is appearing as "[Group Name Restricted]." Any thoughts on how I switch this back to W#SA Admin?

I am working on step-b y-step #5 ( "Exercise 5: Design Record Types") and I am stuck on the configuring vehicle record events steps. Once I go to the Events page, I am unable to click GENERATE EVENT RECORD TYPES because I keep receiving a pop-up stating, "you must have edit access to at least one of the applications this record type is in to generate event record types." How do I manage and edit my access so that I am able to proceed with this exercise.

Hello everyone, I’m new with Appian and I’m currently trying to work on a basic CRUD project. I’m currently struggling to create an “Update” related action for my List. 1.- I have created a query expression rule to retrieve only the values of a specific record based on the id, which is currently working properly. 2.-I have created a related action inside my main Record Type to Update my record which has the following context for the process model parameter: { TSM_TaskList: rule!TSM_queryTaskList(                 tasklistIdPk: rv!identifier ).data } 3.- I have edited the list to add a grid for the “Update” button next to the record, and I added the following display value: a!recordActionField(                 actions: a!recordActionItem(          &n

I have a requirement where i am calling external API to get a Binary file in return. Now the issue here is i am unable to convert this document into Base64 string which i need to use the Base64string to pass into another API. I have also build the logic of storing the Base64 string to Appian DB. Just stuck with the conversion part. I can also see that we might have few plug-in functions supported by Appian for this. {'toBase64()','ConvertDocumentToBase64()', 'a!toBase64()'}, unsure if these are accurate or not. However, if these are accurate i will raise this with Appian support team to get these installed, If not can i please have some suggestions on how to proceed with this requirement?

As of today, the SpaceX API to be used in the tutorials seems to be no longer available. When configuring the data source:"The Record Data Source returned an error. Title: Connection failed Detail: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Message: Could not authenticate with the connected system or connect to the external system at the specified URL" Calling https://api.spacexdata.com/v4 in a browser gives me “not found”. Calling https://spacexdata.com/ in a browser gives me “This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in spacexdata.com. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”.

I know we can create file upload web API to get files in Binary, but is it possible to get file using body of the api as formdata of json

Hello, I am trying to implement a custompickerField, but I still don't understand very well how the suggestFunction and selectedLabels work since I have my DP_addressSugestion rule that receives the address and through the Google Maps API it already returns the filtering. Here is my suggestFunction. a!localVariables( local!addressSugestion: rule!DP_AddressGoogleMaps( address: ri!address, latitud: -9.5, longitud: -75 ), if( local!addressSugestion.success, a!localVariables( local!labels: a!forEach( items: local!addressSugestion.result.places, expression: index(fv!item, "description", null) ), local!values: a!forEach( items: local!addressSugestion.result.places, expression: index(fv!item, "description", null) ), a!dataSubset( data: local!labels, identifiers: local!values, ) ), a!dataSubset( data: {}, identifiers: {}, totalCount: 0 ) ) ) Pleas

a!documentViewerField This function specifically, I have gotten it to work, by displaying a PDF file through creation of constants and inserting documents etc. However, my issue with this is that, though it works well on Desktop/Laptop, the additional features such as scrolling, printing, saving the document, editing, annotation, fit to window, rotate, search, functions are not available on Mobile/Tablet devices. Minimally, I want to allow my users to scroll up and down, why am I unable to do so?

Dear all, in the Online course I have the following quesiton: Which of the following use cases likely requires third party integrations? and one of the answer is "You want to automate a business process, such as sending out emails to subscribers." Taking into account online course and also this link (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/email-in-appian.html), I understood that an integration is needed to send email in Appian. Instead in the Appian analyst practice exam the answer "You want to automate a business process, such as sending out emails to subscribers." is not correct. Can you please tell me if sending out emails required or not third party integration? Thanks a lot.

Can someone tell me what all options are correct for this question? Which two use-cases would require a third party integration? A customer needs to be able to share document with other Appian users A customer needs to be able to retain and store an extensive number of large, historical documents over a 7 year period A customer needs to collaborate on documents with non-Appian users in real time A customer needs to email copies of documents to non-appian users

Dear all, I'm studying for Appian Certified Analyst and I'm having some difficulties to understand different responsabilities between Product Owner and Business analyst. I'm studying on Online course ("Initiate and Buil for Appian analyst") and Appian Community documentation and I understood that Product Owner is responsible for creating the product blacklog and prioritaziong user stories in the product backlog. Also the Product Owner represent the needs of the business. Instead the Business Analyst has the responsbailities to create user stories, create personas, "HELP product owner to convert the needs of the business into actionable blacklog items". But If I try to answer to some Test Question in Online Appian Courses I found that "Prioritizing the backlog" is one of responsibilities of the business analyst in the Initiate phase. Can you please help me to understand this? thanks a lot.

Hi Appian, In our middleware server’s integration solution, we are calling an Appian Web API but receiving a 400 error. However, when we test the same Appian Web API call using curl from the middleware server, it works fine with a 200 response. Since there seems to be no difference between the two calls, I’m not sure why the 400 error occurs. If you have had a similar experience and resolved it, I would appreciate your advice. Thank you

Hi everyone, I’m trying to configure Record Events for my record type (W2246AMA Vehicle) and I’m getting this warning: "You must have edit access to at least one of the applications this record type is in to generate event record types." Because of this, the Generate Event Record Types button is grayed out and I can’t move forward. Has anyone run into this before? Do I need edit rights on the whole application that contains the record type, or just the record itself? What’s the best way to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, So I have a process model that involves a user submitting a form, putting in details before submitting. It basically involves the writing of some details to the record type before showing a confirmation page, which just shows the user a tick button of confirmation, requiring a done to submit. I have a few issues here. Firstly, the only reason I had the done button was because I attempted to let it auto-run of some sort before closing by itself, however, I could not achieve that. Next, I settled on a done button as upon clicking it will complete the process model. However, after my users started using it, I noticed that they do not click the done button always. Due to appian's process model clean up task not including active tasks, I believe active tasks will be active till forcibly ended by the admin. I also attempted to set a timer for the task, perhaps a deadline, attempted setting a and gateway to link directly to the end node, nothing changed, I'm still u
