How to scan a document directly from a scanner into Appian.

My goal is to write into excel in multiple sheets using the "Export Data Store Entity to Excel" ability. I may write few values from process variables too into the excel sheet - apart from what I have in the database. So I have an excel sheet as template and wanted to leverage the "Custom Cell Positions" and "Custom Cell Values" ability in the "Export Data Store Entity to Excel" smart service to put in the values in the desired position of the excel sheet. I may end up putting atleast 50 values in a sheet. But I keep getting this error, even when I attempt to put couple of values using the "Custom Cell Positions""Custom cell positions cant refer to cells below the starting cell. Otherwise, they would be overwritten by data being exported. (APNX-1-4505-037)" I tried to use this simpler option too and still get the same error.Custom Cell Positions={"A6", "B6", "A7", "B7"}Custom Cell Values

hi,have a question about the Document zipper plugin I have a folder in Appian which I want to zip, the contents of this folder contain PDF documents in the following format: 00000.PDF where the extension is in capital letters. When the process that contains the document zipper node is launched, it creates the zip with all the documents correctly but the documents appear with the extension in lowercase. 00000.pdf Is there a way to keep the extension capitalized like the original documents in the folder? thanks

Hi  I am using Export DSE to Excel smart service. Now in the configuration part, I am using the querySelection to select the columns to be written to the final excel document Now this querySelection takes in queryColumn  Example :  a!queryColumn( field: "opsTicketId", alias: "Ops Portal Ticket ID" ) This alias is basically the header displayed on the excel sheet, but whilst using such aliases containing a ` ` space .. the smart service errors out and as a result I have to use underscore  Is there any way I could retain this space ? I do not want underscores on my header ... need it to be a proper header

We have recently upgraded People functions to v1.16.0 as the previous versions v.1.10.0 and v 1.15.0 were being flagged in Health check with High/Medium Risk for containing Removed/Private/Deprecated Appian APIs. However, even after the upgrade the Plugin is being flagged in health check for using Deprecated APIs: People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references deprecated Appian APIs[deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext) Hoping to understand if 1.16.0 would be compatible with Appian 24.4.

Can anyone confirm if we create a custom branded mobile app for Appian and publicly publish it to the App Store for any iOS user to install it.  If the notifications can also be customized to come from our custom branded name VS Appian? Thanks

Hello everyone, Thank you in advance for your time, me and my team are having some problems with the Advanced Rich Text Editor plugin and pasting images:Error introduction: We are facing some errors related to the use of the plugin Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram) (Appian Community) We believe this is due to the automatically generated base64 by the plugin when we paste the images. On large images this base64 can’t be displayed in the site and is resulting in a weird 403 Access Denied error : It seems that there is also a conflict with the a!startProcessLink component, please find more details in the Error details topic Quick context: We use the plugin’s richTextEditorField so that our users can write more personalized emails, attach images to the email’s body and send them directly from the Appian application. We then save the generated html in our database and use the Microsoft MS Graph public library and respective Appian marketplace plugins to send

Hello, I have a problem with the smart service ‘import csv to database’, as the column names in the CSV do not match those in the table. Is there any way to create a mapping between the two values, or do I necessarily have to create a new table that has the same field names as the csv? I would like to avoid the latter solution if possible. Thank you all.

Has anyone gotten the following error (or similar) for the systemlogsrecordtypesource function? It's for the the Log Reader plugin. Expression evaluation error at function 'systemlogsrecordtypesource' [line 7]: The passed parameter(s) are of the wrong type. Received the type com.appiancorp.common.xml.JaxbConversionException: JAXB failure trying to convert typed value TypedValue[it=1474,v={TypedValue[it=1478,v=<null>],TypedValue[it=1154,v=<null>],{1,20,<null>}}] to java class com.appiancorp.common.query.Query. It's a simple few lines of code: systemlogsrecordtypesource( a!query( pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 20) ) ) Strangely, I cannot replicate this across environments. I've confirmed the environments are on the same version of Appian, so I am unsure what to check for next.

I'm building a rule which will take 'Plugin Name' as an input (example:Excel Tools) and expected to return all the dependent object names where this plugin is referred in. Is there a way to achieve this? Manually, we can go to Appian Designer -> Objects -> Plugins -> select a plugin and choose dependents to get the list, I'm trying to automate the same behaviour. Any leads will be appreciated.
