We can write If/Else condition in expression rule then why do we need decisions objects in Appian

Can anyone please hep me in this? I want to sort below mentioned data. I was trying to sort data using queryentity and it worked. But I have to use rule input ri!employee(Type: Data Type). Please assist. Need to sort data by these fields: sort: { a!sortInfo(field: "empcode", ascending: true()), a!sortInfo(field: "type", ascending: true()), a!sortInfo(field: "amount", ascending: true()), } joinarray( a!forEach( items: ri!employee, expression: concat( "", "", union( { fv!item.empcode }, { fv!item.empcode } ), "", "", if( rule!GLB_isBlank(fv!item.barcode), {}, a!localVariables( local!code: union( { fv!item.barcode }, { fv!item.barcode } ), local!newcode: split(local!code, "_"), local!newcode[2] ) ), "", "",

Hi, I am trying to experiment with Appian Co-pilot and I have encountered few issues. 1. I have set up my chat completion model in admin console. https://azure-open-test777.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/gpt35-model/completions?api-version=2023-09-15-preview   : this is Chat completion endpoint in Azure If i Paste it in the admin console under AI services it's giving error, but if I add chat/ in endpoint as suggested by Appian then it is successful, please refer attached SS. Even if I give different deployment model name the connection is successful HOW??? 2. I am trying to upload simple PDF after successful connection (refer SS highlighted in yellow color), i am unable to get the expected interface. PDF:   

I have defined a process calendar called "US calendar". I defined working hours for 14.2.2024 to be from 8am to 4pm. When calling calisworktime(datetime(2024,2,14,15), "US calendar") (checking if 4pm is working time) it returns true. Then i set working hours for 14.2.2024 to be from 8am to 5pm. Then i called calisworktime(datetime(2024,2,14,16), "US calendar") (checking if 5pm is working time) and it returned false. It appears that calisworktime() function does not behave consistently. I have tried searching for this problem but it appears nobody else has experienced it.

Hi, We have an expression rule (see below image). We want to get the indices of numbers from the array (local!numberList) that would not make the local!initialValue negative when added together.   The result we are expecting from the sample values in the image is: {1, 2, 3, 5} If we have local!initialValue = 100 & local!numberlist = {5, 100, 15, 100, 25}, the result should be: {1, 3, 5} We're having a hard time thinking of the way we can do this. Would gladly appreciate your help.

HI,As Length function doesn't consider the null values but Can anyone explain me why the below code has returned value 4 ? Thanks

Hello, I'm new on Appian and recently started learning JAVA and RPA as a junior developer. So I started following the Calculator Tutorial (I used Intellij) and after running the command mvn clean deploy in the last step I got this message on the command prompt: So I assumed everything was right. But when I went to test the robotic task (I changed the name to "Calculator-Tutorial") nothing happened. I'm sorry if perhaps this is too obvious but i really don't understand why it is not opening the calculator.

Hi All, Good day!  I have a robotic task which automates excel activities like sort,filter,insert rows & so no. For each action, I have created a sub robotic task. Based on the input (robotic task variable), I need to call the specific subtask and perform excel activities. Example: If my input variable actionName = "sort", then I need to call robotic subtask of sort operation. As of now I could find only If Conditional check in Robotics Actions, which is causing too much delay in processing as it traverses if conditions one-by-one. How can we call a robotic subtask dynamically?Can we implement a logic that works as a switch case in Appian RPA? Kindly let me know for any work arounds

Hello, I am opening an excel file in Notepad++ editor. In this file I see there is an end of line character added called CRLF. Please see attached for reference.

Hi, I have a below rule with pre-passed 3 parameters. Now, Is there any way that I can store these parameters (para1, para2, para3) and its values (val1, val2, val3) in variables and pass them to the rule dynamically? The no of parameter will be changed as they could come from rule input or local variable. Example: [Code] I have two variables local!para and local!val and end result is whats written in the expression is what I want. See, rule can accept 5 parameters but I have given only 2 in this case. a!localVariables( local!para: {"para1", "para2"}, local!val: {"val1", "val2"}, rule!JS_abcRule( para1: "val1", para2: "val2" ) )

Good day, I am trying to split a return from a query and display the first two items from the array,  Here is the query a!queryRecordType(   recordType: 'recordType!{e408fa22-7df7-4073-ac43-add3091357ab}AIM Asset',   fields: {   'recordType!{e408fa22-7df7-4073-ac43-add3091357ab}AIM Asset.fields.{af99cf34-7d26-4a14-b291-4cfff81e3500}name' },   pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(   startIndex: ri!assetID,   batchSize: 1 )).data Which returns: List of AIM Asset - 1 item AIM Asset id4(Number (Integer)) name"ThinkPad P16s 16” Intel Mobile Workstation"(Text) I would like to return from the query: ThinkPad P16s I think I can use the split() function and concat() but I have never done this within a query before. The other option I have is to take the return and manipulate it in the display field of the summary interface richtext field. Can someone help me figure out the best way to do this p

Hi Community, I have a multiple question on the Document classification AI Skill. I have trained the AI Skill classification with 2 types of document. Both type does not have fixed structure (few text change based on the conditions).  When we upload the document of these 2 type the confident score is always fall between 55 to 60 .  Another behaviour i observed  when i upload different document type which is totally different , the confident score is 50 which i do not expect. Questions: Does anyone know how the confident score is determine?  The document structure is not same every time  is that because the confident score not going beyond 60? I expect to be more. Why confident score is still 50 when non trained document uploaded?

Hi All, I have a process model which calls AI skill Document Extraction, I have trained the AI skills to extracts the fields and it extracting properly. The only thing is for 5 fields, its taking more than 4 min in the PM on extracting node alone. Is this is a common behavior or usual time, or is there any possible way to make it faster.

I have a subtask that receives a text variable from the parent in the input and is meant to return 2 variables in the output, an AppianDocument and the name of said document as a Text variable. I have logs put in place to see the results of the expressions that run the queries necessary to fetch the document and it's name. And the logs return the following:[WARN] 2023-12-01 13:08:03 01m 26s (0h) - com.novayre.jidoka.client.api.appian.documents.AppianDocument@5ec6for the log that just returns the Appiandocument pv!Document variable. [WARN] 2023-12-01 13:12:50 55s (0h) - Got Document SEC_195818008_08for the log that returns the string "Got Document" & pv!DocName. But the variables in the console appear as null and as a "" string respectively. As if they never got casted. And when I want to return the variables to the parent robotic task, it returns an error. [ERROR] 2023-12-01 13:12:51 55s (0h) - Error executing action [robotic-subprocess->exitV2]java.lang.

Hi all, Hangman is a guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word, phrase, or sentence and draws a dash for each letter. The other player then guesses letters once a time. If the guess is correct, the player who made the puzzle writes the letter over the corresponding dashes. if the guess is wrong, the player who made the puzzle draws a part of the hangman. The goal is to guess the word before the character is hung. So, Please suggest how to design that game I tried facing an issue a!localVariables( local!wordList: {"python", "hangman", "programming", "computer", "code"}, local!guessedLetters: {}, local!attemptsLeft: 6, local!currentDisplay: "", local!gameOver: false, local!winMessage: "Congratulations!

I am developing browser automation for a website, using xPaths as the element selector for browser interactions. Whenever the website I am working on gets updated, the element xPaths change randomly. Is there any way to overcome this issue, or do I have to test and modify the browser action xPaths every time there is an update to the website?
