Process Automation

Hi all, I am trying to extract a data from PDF using the new AI SKILL feature. Attaching the screenshot of my PDF and Process Model. The Output is a stored in a CDT with the same field and name. This service does not give any data after execution and it takes 5 minutes of time for a simple process with 1 node. Kindly advice how to proceed.

Hello team, I would like to ask you for an advice. In my tool there is one User Input Task which is assigned to a group "Processors". The users of this group accept the task and complete it. I set up an "Escalation" to reassign the task back to queue if some of the processors forget to complete it.   My problem is that in some cases, I cant really explain why, the task is not released and its owner remains still the user who accept it. So I created a flow for business administrators who can reassign a task to somebody else from the pool using the "Reassign Task" smart service in Process model. But even if we select the "ICH Processors" as a group to assign the task back, the owner of the task will not change and the task will be not available to accept it. Any advice please on how to resolve this? How to change the owner correctly? Thanks

Hello, I've been training a document extraction AI Skill in one region and then deployed the AI Skill to a different region. Interestingly, I'm finding that the document extraction in the first region performs better than the document extraction in the newer region. Do AI skills have to be retrained in each region, like when you deploy from TEST to PROD? Thanks!

Hi!I'm trying to filter out record where field 'value' is null, but it only gives the record of the first item, here's the code local!validValues:ri!properties[where(a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!properties['recordType!{5ebb976a-556f-4033-b1d7-9e5976ab963d}MM Property.fields.{041a7f43-dfd1-4b07-aaed-48e305712f4e}value']))], Any inputs?

Hello team, in my application for reporting i use a!exportDataStoreEntityToExcel smart service to download Excel report based on the filters selected. This part is working great. As a new requirement i need to limit the access, the users will be able to download report only for contracts which they created / they approved from sender side / they approved from receiver side. The way i tried to achieve this is to create an expression rule to query the entity, make queries with 3 different filters (when user is created, approver on sender side, approver on receiver side), save the results into 3 separate local variables, combine them into the final local variable which will be then used as the entity parameter in the excel smart service. But i am not able to cast it to proper format, all the time i receive an error message: Could not cast from ICH_V_ContractLineItemsReportCSV to Data Store Entity. Details: CastInvalid. Example: local!variable1: cast( 'type!{urn:com:appian:typ

Hi  I have created a constant for storing all the valid file extensions  constant : OPP_TXT_VALID_FILE_EXTENSION  -> {"PDF", "JPEG", "JPG", "PNG", "DOCX", "DOC", "XLSX", "XLS", "CSV", "TXT"}  Now I wanted to implement a validation in fileUploadField wherein I want to check for valid file extensions. For this I am using the contains function  contains ( cons!OPP_TXT_VALID_FILE_EXTENSIONS, upper(fv!files.extension) ) Now even for a valid file extension (say PNG) this validation fails But if I use normal array of hardcoded values instead of constant then I am getting the desired result contains( {"PDF", "JPEG", "JPG", "PNG", "DOCX", "DOC", "XLSX", "XLS", "CSV", "TXT"}, upper(fv!files.extension) )    Is there something that I am missing ?

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.
