In using the date componentI would like to ask about how to change the input format and how to select the year? Basically right now to input date by typing, the format should be like "05/07/2021" but, want the format to be like "2021/05/07". Also, if want to select the year 2027, is there a way to do it instead of clicking the "->"(right arrow) button repeatedly? Thank you.

This Error is coming while adding Validations to the date and time in Maintenance Information

I am working on an interface like above  and each time a component is added or configured, it takes about 10 to 30 seconds to load. Is it normally this slow? Or is there a way to speed up. + The interface form is requested by the customer, so separating the interface into  parts will not be a selectable choice. Thank you.

From what I searched, the documentation said "The Installer can be downloaded from the Download tabs on My-Appian", But, could not find any installer within. Where can I find the Appian Installer?

I have an instance where the user selects 1 to many event numbers to generate a report.  I am attempting to set it up where I have one template and it fills it out and combines them all to together to generate a final report that maybe any number of pages.  I have a Query node that pulls the data and a Fill PDF node that fills in the data once.  How can I get this setup where is basically loops through the 2 nodes, adding a page to the PDF each time?

Good day,   We are in the process of setting up an Appian server. We managed to obtain a temporary license to try to complete the configuration process and ran into a problem with the administration password file.   As we edit the passwords.properties.rate file for our system, we try to change the values as indicated in our documentation. Yet when we try to login, we get an invalid user name or password error. It does not seem to record our changes.   The only user that appears in the users file is the administrator.   Any indication why it is behaving like this? Thank you

Good day,   We are trying to setup an Appian server and are at the stage to request a long term license. Our documentation states that we need to run the q.exe command which generates a banner with the system configuration and k4.lic info.   However, this is what we get: Would you know what could be generating this error as it prevents us from configuring the long term license for our system? Thank you

1. Want to test an on-premise version of Appian. From Appian forum, I found something like the picture below.  But it doesn't provide any installers. 2. Found a link for "Requesting and installing a license." https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.1/Requesting_and_Installing_a_license.html  but when I click the "Licenses" link within the link, the picture below comes up. Could I get specific steps that I can follow to get an on-premise test version of Appian?

Hello Appian. From Admin console I have connected a new data source (MariaDB type), to use it instead of the Appian cloud database.  But, the performance(speed) is too slow.  Do I have to adjust some kind of settings?
