Process Automation

Hello there, We need to update an Appian Portal based report (old technology previous to SAIL based reports) that displays multiple process instances. Many of them (around 3000) have incorrect security settings and need to be updated. What is the simplest way to do it? Is it possible to use Appian RPA for it? The solution requires to select each individual entry in the report and change the security settings. It is just a couple of clicks to resolve it but it needs to be done thousands of times. Is it possible to do it through a process model? Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

For the automated expression rule testing, currently test results expire after 7 days (as mentioned in the documentation for function a!testRunResultForId). Is this a configuration that can be changed? We can to decrease the retention period to perform an aggressive clean up for this data. 

Hi there, There is a section in the PDF file, like below: Is there a way to capture these "checkbox" by using AI skill extraction objects? If the PDF file is protected by password due to the security, would it affect the performance of AI skill extraction? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Hi! I´m creating a rule expression to return a value based on the logged in user, and use this value in an interface. In this case, I want to return the value "Proveedor 2" and show it in the interface. But the problem is that, when I try to reference the rule as a local variable, the following is shown. My local variable configuration is: I think the problem is in the test output of my expression rule. When I put it in raw format, the same text which appears in the interface is show (I just want "Proveedor 2"): 1)Image of expression Rule 2) Expression rule output in various formats In this case, I would like to extract just the "Proveedor 2" output. How can I do this?

Hi everyone. I hope you're looking forward to the weekend. I am asking for ideas to handle the following scenarios with the decision table feature.  Scenario 1: An input is a list of strings with variable sizes.  Example input instances: [ "value 1", "value 2", "value 3"] [ "value a", "value b"] The input list of variable sizes is checked against a predetermined set of items to answer the following question. Do the input list items exist in the predetermined set of items? given this input [ "value 1", "value 2", "value 3"]  does at least 1 input element contains in { "value x", "value y", "value 2"}? In this case, the result will be true.  Question: what is the best approach to solving this scenario? Scenario 2: The following document indicates the following.  Leverage existing application reference data: Decisions can use your application reference data (like case statuses) that is stored in constants, database tables,

Read the document saying that Appian can expose Decison via Web APIs.  https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Appian_Decisions.html Questions - What would an output look like and is it DMN compliant? - Can the other system use a DMN Engine to execute the decision? Thank you.

Hi, I tried going through multiple Appian documentation and things are looking scattered to me and difficult to understand. I would like to know how to connect Appian RPA with the local Java program on my machine to run the simple "hello world" and display its output on RPA. Many thanks, Khaiser

I have a use case for AI Skills but it seems whenever i pass any document this happens. For this example im passing a PDF file exported from a word file uploaded to appian, and it is being called by the process model below as a constant. Using the Extract From Document Smart Service doesnt give me an output, when I check the reconciliation all characters are being outputed as boxes, as shown in the screenshot.Checking with the actual document before and after goes through the smart service ( document passed through different variables for before and after ) and it is shown normally. Would want to understand why this is happening and what steps i need to take to rectify this issue.

Hi, I am parcticing with the a!queryRecordType() function and I realized in return one field called identifiers where the primiary key is returned and I would like to know if I could transform it together with the data field into a map where the identifiers values are the keys and the data values are the values. For example: Having: identifiers : {12,20}  data : {"first value", "second value"} Transform it into {12: "first value", 20: "second value}

I'm trying to figure out how I would configure an expression rule to perform a rolling sum by userId. For a given person, calculate how many hours they worked for a rolling 7 days, and if they have exceeded 10 hours then return true. Otherwise, false. My data looks like this: UserID workDate Hours 1 06-03-2022 1 1 06-04-2022 3 1 06-05-2022 1 1 06-07-2022 3 1 06-08-2022 1 1 06-09-2022 3 1 06-10-2022 2 1 06-13-2022 4 2 06-13-2022 7 Given the table above, it calculates from the current date (inclusive) for the last 7 days.

Hi All, FYI, This is my first POC to develop the bot tasks in the Appian RPA. And I have other experiences in the RPA tools also Appian BPM.  I need to know some details about to pick the particular element via windows automation or browser automation. Questions: How to identify the element via windows application(example:Calculator) or web application? I tried via recording and save it. But after open the calculator application, click 8 in the calculator getting element not found exception If we are not using recording to do each node of process there is any ways in the custom. Like one click drag and used in middle of process in this how to pick the particular element as like as recording. Thanks, Pradeep Sridharan
