Process Automation

I am using a!currency to show thousand separator but it by default shows $ symbol if used USD ISO.Here I need to remove this  $ symbol while displaying this field. 

I have a subset of .msg files which when read with the read msg smart service, render in a tiny font with the .html output which results in AI being unable to interpret.  Would I probably be better off running several reg ex statements to exclude tags that are confusing it and pasting in some style that would force the font, or just use the extracted (not the generated result document), or move it to PDF, or some different approach?

Hi All, We were previously using AI Document Center 2.9, and whenever we created a classification model, the system would automatically create the corresponding classification AI skills in the Generated Objects application. Recently, we upgraded to Document Center 3.1. After the upgrade, when we create a classification model, the AI skill is no longer created automatically. Upon reviewing the Create Classification process model, I noticed that it was updated as part of the upgrade and no longer calls the “create objects” process model, which the earlier version did. Is this the expected behavior in Doc Center 3.1? Or is there any additional configuration or post‑upgrade step that we might have missed to enable automatic AI skill creation? Thanks in advance

Hi All, I have recorded an RPA to Login to Appian  I have configured credentials. Screenshots are below When I start Testing the RPA running and opening the url in the browser, but Username and password are not set After sometime I'm receiving this the below error(attached) and task is terminating. Please suggest some solutions and let me know if you need anything else 

can we configure human task where api kicks appian process which ahs doc extraction ai skill in case doc extraction fails

First of all, AI Doc Center is fantastic (3.1.3 installed).  Love the way it is easy to set up and version classification and extraction, so much right out of the box. I think I'm missing something in the documentation though on AIA Extraction Instance's status in a 'real' extraction. I see some constants in the AIA app and can infer in a different app that a status of 2 or 4 means a particular thing that might send me to my custom interface for reconciliation of the instance, which in turn would trigger a model to save to data fabric if reconciled and not abandoned / canceled by an end user.  But, I'm getting off track... I guess I'm asking what is the best practice to see the AIA Extraction Instance's notion that accuracy / precision / validation rule fail on an extraction would drive the decision to send a custom user reconcile task.  At the moment, I would be cobbling together a big 'Or' to see if any reconciliation should be

Hi Team, I am working with the documentsChatField in Appian. After uploading a document, I want to pass it to the chat field for verification. If the verification is successful, I need to save the document details in the database. Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? Is it possible to trigger document verification immediately after upload and then conditionally persist the document metadata based on the verification result?

We recently upgraded to version 25.4 yet we can't find the Agent Studio or option to build new AI Agents in Appian Designer. Is there any additional permission /configuration needed to enable this object type? 

I am having two Signature Documents. i want to compare both the documents and i have to return the matching score percentage of how similar two of the signatures.

I have a question related to "Appian RPA - working with Excel": is the set of activities powerful enough?  I have a project that requires specific activities in a few Excel files: -renaming a sheet -adding/removing a sheet -applying sorting -transferring (copy and paste) data from one sheet to another one in the same Excel documents and between documents -searching in a column for the first file name (the column has files names in it) that has or not an extension (".txt" for example). etc etc etc Can the Appian "working with Excel" set of activities powerful enough? Did somebody have something that couldn't be implemented (lack of functionality maybe)? I have to choose between "Appian RPA" and "MS power automation", I don't want to start with "Appian RPA" and to realize afterwards that it cannot do this and that, etc. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, I am working with AI Document Center in Appian and I am trying to use a classification model with an .eml file. According to the documentation, .eml should be a supported file type, but when I run the model I get this error: Generative AI Classification: Unsupported file type. Try again using a supported type or contact your admin if the problem persists.The issue happens specifically when I upload an .eml fileHas anyone successfully used .eml files with AI Document Center classification?

My client is concerned about reducing token usage, and we are investigating how to prevent repeated tokenization and embedding. We understand that Document Management Record Types embed the document representations for use in the smart search.  Are these embeddings used system wide when document content is provided to an AI Agent or Skill? Are they only available if the document is referenced using the special system document type? Help us understand. Thanks!

I’m testing an Appian AI Agent that needs to read data from an XLSX document. I have two copies of the exact same XLSX file stored in two different folders in Appian. When I point the AI Agent to the file in Folder A, it works as expected and can read/extract the data. When I point it to the identical file in Folder B, it does not work (the agent appears to find nothing in the file / doesn’t extract data). Both documents are valid Appian documents of type .xlsx, AI Agent uses Semantic Search to read the data, and the file contents are identical. The only difference is the folder they’re stored in.  Has anyone seen this behavior before or can suggest what to check? Any guidance on why the same file would work in one folder but not another would be appreciated. I created new folders, checked the folder security, but I can't find the issue. 

Hi I'm experimenting with the AI Agent Studio object and setup a test case to read excel file, but when it tries to use the Semantic Search Tool I always receive this response.An error occurred while executing the tool [SemanticSearch]: The user [username] does not have sufficient privileges to perform the requested action.And return error from the tool. Is there anything that need to be setup or allowed?

Hello, we are starting the use of composer, and could use some light on this: When an application is started with composer and it's objects created, how do we know what objects need to be completed or created?

Hi everyone, do we have any workaround to check for an Appian record which is null(does not have any key)? One way is check for a!keys and then check if empty, any other way? So basically we had a use where there are multiple grid but they being sourced from the same record, let's suppose it be a room. So parent interface has parent room record variable and in child interface(contained each grid based on room type) we are sending parent by indexing the types. For deletion case, we are saving "null" in the same variable if it is new and if something already exist in db then update the isActive flag to false. Before saving the parent room record(which has all type of rooms) we were doing a reject to remove all the nulls. This used to work before and the "null" which we saved was still a null but now it is becoming a record type of null. Not sure if Appian fixed something on this behavior from there end or not.

I'm having trouble generating process objects in the "Compose your application plan" screen. When I click "Generate Process" in the Process tab, it shows loading but then nothing happens - the tab remains completely empty and no process is generated. And because process tab is empty I'm unable to generate objects from composer Has anyone encountered this before? What could be causing this issue? Appian Version: 25.4

Hi everyone, If the AI extracts a value from a document that does not match any of the values provided by my Option rule (Expression Rule), what is the expected system behaviour? The Setup: Options Rule: An expression rule returning {"Access", "Avenue", "Beach", "Court"}. Extraction: The AI correctly extracted the value "Access". The Problem: Even though "Access" is in my list, the instance status is "Extracted with Errors". The Error Message: "The following contain invalid values: streetType" My Question:If the extracted value matches the Options rule exactly, shouldn't the status be "Extracted" (Success)? Why is it flagging a match as an invalid value? There is no issue with extra space or formatting issue.

I know about Appian queues, etc related to multibot configuration. However when I compare how UIPath queues work  (in a reFramework configuration we first load data in the queue - using what we call a "dispatcher" - and each record is locked during processing using what we call a "performer") and I compare this with Appian queues I have a feeling that there is something that I miss. Can somebody provide more details about it? Thank you.

How do you implement a try/catch in Appian RPA no code environment? Thank you.

Hi , I am using Appian Doccentre to look for few of the keyword to set one of the variable value. In my model I have created a field and given description/prompt to look for few of the keyword and if those found, then setting that new field value to those keywords in a comma separated way. The issue is, I am able to find few of the keywords but unable to find some although those are there in the document. I have tried giving all possible prompt but still unable to get those keywords. Did anyone find any such issue ? Any help is really appreciated. I am giving my prompt something like this.. From ONLY this list: ["abc","def","pqr"], return a comma-separated list of those found anywhere (case-insensitive). Match whole words; treat “claims” as “claims”. Include headers, footers, labels, and stamps. Regards, Ghanashyam

Hi everyone, We have an application where business users can start a process using a Start Process Smart Service from the application site. The process model includes an Execute Robotic Task node, which is currently configured to “Run as whoever designed this process model”. This configuration is required because the process is initiated by basic business users whose usernames are not available in the Appian RPA users list. As a result, setting the node to “Run as whoever started the process” causes the robotic task execution to fail. Is there any supported way to configure the Execute Robotic Task node to run as “whoever started the process” by changing any other configuration in robotic task/RPA? Thank you in advance.

How can I give the entire Dev access to a AI agent like how we provide access in VScode, Github so that the AI can have the full context of the applications and can reply with accurate results.

In Community edition , I am not able to find "Try Prompt Builder" under AI Skills . Do I need any other permissions for that ?

By default the Appian RPA designer doesn't come with a "code" activity (in Java I assume) that would give me full power on implementing whatever I want to do, am I right? Do you guys have any suggestions? what can I do to come up with full programming power? Thank you.
