Hello All, My requirement is client is sending an csv file to Appian which we need to insert in Appian table. I am using "Import CSV to Database V6" smart service. But now client want to send the file with some header and footer. Can anyone tell me how to read a csv file in Appian which is having header and footer. In Appian we don't need to save the header and footer we can simply ignore that. But how to ignore that in the Appian because client is sending same file to multiple platforms, so we need to do that in Appian itself. Thanks in advance Regards Sahil Batra

Hi all, I notice that the HTML Display Functions plugin is not listed on the app market and therefore may not be supported in the future, but I'm sure that many of us have it deployed in our environments for one reason: the function ncolumntable(). For anyone looking to remove this plugin, I'm including here an expression rule that I wrote to perform a similar task, and it also has the benefit of having no limit on the number of columns. Given a list of column headers, a list of Dictionaries, Maps, or CDTs containing the data to display, identifiers for fields in the data (optional - if blank, a!keys() will be used to determine the list of identifiers for each row of data), and some optional formatting parameters, this rule returns HTML code to generate a table displaying the data. This expression rule has the following parameters: columnHeaders (List of Text) data (Any Type) columnKeys (List of Text) headerColor (Text) evenRowColor (Text) oddRowColor (Text) /*

Hi , We have a requirement with the third party(old system) to have csv with comma delimiter delivered with data enclosed in double quotes. Below is sample data: Data in Database table: column1 column2 column3 testdata11 testdata12 testdata13 testdata21 testdata22 testdata23 Expected export of csv by third-party should look like below "column1","column2","column3" "testdata11" ,"testdata12" ,"testdata13" "testdata21" ,"testdata22" ,"testdata23" This was not possible 2 years back with smart service "Export Data Store Entity to csv" so we ended up 1. creating an expression rule that queries data from database and concatenates data of each column and each row with double quotes. 2. generate a text string 3. pass the text string to "Text doc from Template" smart service that creates a csv as expected by third party But the problem is as the data keeps growing ,

Hello, we're attempting to use the "Word Doc from Template" Smart Service on a Merged word document, but the smart service only replaces the placeholder from the first document that was merged. For example if we have 3 docs with placeholders, merge them, then run the Word Doc from Template Smart Service, the output document will only have replaced the placeholders that were contained within the content or the first document. We've checked all of the formatting of the placeholders in the XML and everything looks correct. The issues aren't caused by what's outlined in this KB document. Any idea what might be causing this? Merge document plugin community.appian.com/.../dynamic-document-generator
