I have an expression rule which returns data for some ID's and for some it returns 0 items. Based on this rule, I need to display a message to the user.If it returns 0 items, then "in progress". If not, the usual data.  How to check if the rule returns some value or 0. I used isnullorempty, but it didn't work

Hi, I'm learning Appian RPA tutorial. I'm trying to create a Robot for ParseExcel Example. I have few doubts while creating a robot. 1. What kind of permissions we need to add there? ( I added my mail id which is registered for Appian is that correct) 2. I installed java in my local system and set in Environment variable also. Do we need to provide the Path here or is it fine to leave it blank? 3. I added my email id which is used for Appian community login in permission and added my local system JRE Path in JRE Path. Downloaded and installed the exe file.  After click on ok The Robot showing offline. 4. If I execute as per following the document it is not working. Below is the execution log  Below is the tutorial document I followed. [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/61/9.3-_2800_23.3_2900_-Parse-Excel-Files.pdf:320:240] Please guide me where I went wrong. Thanks, Sadhu Surendra.

Hi, I am attempting to start using RPA within Appian and the documentation says the host machine has to have Java installed. My organisation won't allow me to download the full version of Java and have asked if I can use a free version of Java e.g. adaptivejdk or Amazon corretto. Is this possible?

Hi Champs, we have a requirment in Appian RPA where we are clicking a button/image to download the data in PDF in a chrome browser. It's working fine till the pop-up comes for Save option. But we are not sure how to click the save button on that pop up as this is a different window than the primary browser screen.

I need to compare two lists of the same type of cdt, and remove any duplicates from one of the lists if two of the fields match. For example CDT Array 1: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 05/05/2019 ) } CDT Array 2: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 01/01/2022 ), type!example( email: "hello11@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 03/02/2023 ), type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 2, date: 01/02/2023 ) } In this example, I want to remove CDT 1 from CDT Array 2, because it is has the same email and ID fields as the CDT in CDT Array 1, and I want to return the other two CDTs in CDT Array 2.How can I do this as efficiently as possible?

Description: We are currently facing an issue with IDP data extraction in our production region. We have encountered this problem where IDP seems to be stuck near auto extraction status. We are unable to successfully extract the required document values. This issue is affecting the document extraction process and impacting our production environment. 1. Description of the problem: The IDP value extraction process is stuck in the auto extraction stage, preventing us from retrieving the necessary authentication information. 2. Current impact: Our production environment is experiencing disruptions due to the inability to extract IDP values. Please find the attached screenshot for further references.

Hi- Does anyone know on how to implement generative AI with Appian? TIA

Could some one please look into this and help me to resolve this. TIA

as per document IReservedQueue is depericated and  now we can use IReservedQueuePaged  but while using this i am getting below error-  private IReservedQueuePaged reservedQueue; not able to find its dependency and add it into maven

I have built an expression rule where I am using a!foreach() and looping through items. Below is the query. a!localVariables( local!var: a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!rec_type1, pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 10) ), a!forEach( items: { local!var}.data,  //4 data items from the record type table are that it can iterate on// expression: fv!item['recordType!rectype1.fields.col1'] [1] )) The record type I am querying here has 4 items that I am iterating in using a!foreach(). Now expression gives a single output (specific cell's data from table i.e. first record's col1 value). My expectation was that this would give same table cell data as output but 4 times instead of 1 time. Is it due to the fact that in every iteration fv!item moves to the subsequent item as current array item and therefore cannot give that cell's data as output remaining 3 times since it has already moved ahead to next item.Let me know if I am thinking correctly or is there

Please let us know if we can get the 'confidence level for Document extraction' similar to the confidence score output for Document classification.

Any idea why the input value is not recognizing the array? I've tried with/without the comma, but Appian is still saying there is only 1 item in the list.

i have faced  access denied problem when i add more than one email type in AI Skill Email Object 

I have followed setup instruction as per 23.3 doc and installed RPA Agent, JDK and Maven.  The agent icon in status bar is not turning to blue, I see it grayed out. And hence the robot is not coming online. Please suggest.

Hi, I have an upcoming application that is going to have a heavy IDP component. I haven't actually worked with IDP yet, and development hasn't started yet, so all of what I've been researching for Appian capabilities has been what Appian has in their documentation and other community questions. The question is, when the user uploads the form and there are attachments that also have to be extracted, does each document have to be in its own PDF? Or can they all be uploaded as one, multi-page PDF and the system can extract them all separately? Thank you!  And I apologize if I'm not wording things properly, again, I don't actually have any hands on IDP experience yet, I know each form a user could upload has to be configured and classified, so this is assuming the main form and possible attachments have been configured. 

Hello techies,  I need to use the merge() function on a dynamic list but it isn't proving easy.  Please check the following code snippet and suggest applying it on the dynamic list local!a.b a!localVariables( local!a: { { a: 1, b: { 1, 2, 3 } }, { a: 2, b: { "asdf", 5, 6 } }, { a: 1, b: { 7, 8 } } }, { merge({ 1, 2, 3 }, { "asdf", 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 }), /*working*/ merge(local!a.b[1], local!a.b[2], local!a.b[3]), /*not working*/ merge(a!forEach(local!a.b, fv!item)) /*incorrect result*/ })
