Plug-ins

Hello Everyone, We are using Appian cloud and we have a requirement to move few CSV files to Appian server folder (/apps/cgdata/folder1). I have to read as well as write files to this location. Which smart service we can use and do we need any particular access for it?

We upgraded the plugin to 4.1.0 and while using the latest smart service '(SFTP) Get Remote folder Contents' replacing the deprecated smart service "Get Remote Directory Contents over SFTP", we got the below error: "Algorithm negotiation fail: algorithmName=""server_host_key"" jschProposal=""ssh-ed25519,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256"" serverProposal=""ssh-rsa""" The same smart service (SFTP) Get Remote Folder Contents works fine with the Plugin version 3.0.3. Is there a known resolution to this error?

Hi All,  Please advise how do I write a Query rule to fetch case Id and folder id from database ? Below is the query rule I've written to fetch the case Ids and folder Ids from database.

I am using Import CSV to Database v6 to import CSV file to a database. I have a field in the table that is not part of the CSV. I tried to configure the additional column and additional value thinking that will store the value into the table but it didn't save the value in the table. Any thoughts how to populate the field in the table that is not part of the CSV using this plugin? For instance, my table has 5 columns, my csv has 4 columns and I want to store a value in the 5th column of the table (e.g. hardcoded value). Thank you.

Hey Everyone, Im trying to embed a powerBI into one of our Appian apps. Considering that this report has to be exposed to users who might not have powerBI licenses there is a way to expose it externally within an application by using "Embed for your customers" feature.  Understanding the different embedding solutions in Power BI embedded analytics | Microsoft Learn     This means that the only potential obstacle is Appian. I have observed that the webComponent in Appian appears to be unable to pass any data, including tokens (it can only accept url). Is there any other way for implementing such functionality? I believe that creating our own custom plugin might be an option although I dont have enough expertiese in it yet to make that judgement. Would custom plugin be able to achieve this requirement or is there any other easier way in Appian to do the same? I had a look at some existing powerBI plugins but they dont seem to be for "Embed for

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where I need to generate quote PDFs that include both dynamic data and images. I’m currently using Advanced Document Templating (DOCX from dynamic template → PDF from DOCX), and while the DOCX file looks great with the images inserted, I’m running into alignment issues when converting it to PDF — the layout shifts and the formatting isn’t consistent. Has anyone else faced this kind of issue with images during the DOCX-to-PDF conversion? Also, I’m wondering if HTML to PDF might be a better approach for this use case. If so, does anyone know how I can include images from Appian document folders in the HTML content? I need to add them dynamically, similar to how I’m doing it with DOCX templates. Any suggestions, experiences, or tips would be really helpful! Thanks in advance!

Thanks in Advance.

I need to create a dynamic DOCX document that includes a table with 12 columns, where each column automatically adjusts its width. Already I create the same but able to showing only 8 columns.

Hi,  I'm researching about the plug-ins development and I've seen in the documentation that a local installation of Appian is required to develop and test any type of plug-in. For instance, in this page it says the following:  "In order to individually build a custom smart service plug-in, a licensed local installation of Appian is required. Appian Cloud customers who have a local installation must develop and test the custom smart service locally and coordinate with Appian Technical Support to deploy it on their site." Why is a local installation necessary? Is it because the Appian JAR (<APPIAN_HOME>/_admin/sdk/appian-plug-in-sdk.jar) has to be added as an external dependency in the IDE? The JAR file can only be obtained from a local installation? Thanks in advance

hi,  I been exploring End user reporting plugin the lower environments, While working in UAT, I came to know that record types configuration needs to be done in dev and then pushed to UAT. My question is ,will the plugin allow the EUR admins to configure the record types in Production environment, instead of pushing from lower environments.  Documentation says that we have to configure the records from scratch in prod.

The map rendering and logic will be handled entirely within the custom plugin. We want to display standard Appian UI components (such as interfaces using a!formLayout, a!dropdownField, etc.) on top the map rendered by the plugin.
