Hi,In A Bar Chart, Can we display Tooltip value in for example in 1D 1H 1M 1S. Suppose we are getting data in floating 176.5439, and we need to display in 176D 13H 3M 13S. I have converted the value, but a!chartSeries says a!chartSeries accepts only Number (Floating Point) data (List of Number (Floating Point)): Array of decimal data values to display in a chart.

I need to get the admin group in an specific app where the app name is going to be a rule input. Any suggestion? is there anyway to achive it?

Hello, How can we get value after an operator for the value which we separate using split function. Eg. 249.5832 Using Split for 249.5832, we can get 249 and 5832. But, I want value after split. If I index with 2, it's getting 5832, but I have to use this for a!forEach for the below expression. For below expression, getting the result as in the image local!calP1days: a!forEach( items: local!P1, expression: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(fv!item), split(fv!item,"."),{} ) ) , local!calP1days)

Hi team, I am Exploring Excel RPA , docs.appian.com/.../actions-excel-license-required.html I want to get values into Excel cell as columns  which are stored in DB, i have a CDT name resources with fields EMP-ID and Name, i Added some values in DB creating record actions. then Using Write into Excel Action in the value Array I  tried using both record type and CDT  recordtype!resources.name / 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:ERP}ERP_Resources'(), But when i use CDT I am getting the fields in the CDT like EMP-ID and name ,but not the values in the DB. as shown below i came to know that we have to give the List of CDT's  in value array , but I don't know how to do it to get the values under Name column . Help me in Finding more resource to know more about the Excel RPA configurations. Thank you  J Vinay

Hi, I have a requirement to update a date based on a condition that if the given date is of last 2 dates of that particular month, then I want my rule to return first date of the next month and it should be applicable for all the dates whether the month has 30 or 31 days or if it is February or leap year. For eg: 27/02/2023 should be converted to 01/03/2023. I have written following code for this, but my senior asks me to optimize the code and reduce the use of if conditions. Please tell me what else I can do edit:a!localVariables( local!currentMonth: month(ri!requestDate), local!currentDay: day(ri!requestDate), local!currentYear: year(ri!requestDate), local!isLeapYear: isleapyear(local!currentYear), todate( if( and( tointeger(local!currentMonth) = 2, or(local!isLeapYear), contains( tointeger({ 28, 29 }), tointeger(local!currentDay) ) ), concat( tointeger(local!currentMonth) + 1, "/

Hello,  It seems the documentation for the RPA Actions is limited and I would like to know which Action should be used when the need is the robot to update Excel File,  For example I guess one of the following two will be:  Initialization with URL or Initialization with File Parameter Let's assume the file is located on disk C:\Exce\ what parameter should be passed to any of these two actions in order the robot to open the excel and start filling in data after that ?

Hello team, i would like to use an expression rule in timer to define the day when a PM will run based on the values in DB. Every month the cut off day for processes is different and its defined in the DB. The expression rule which i call inside the timer is: =rule!ICH_getCutOffDataByFilters(    year: year(today()),    month: month(today())).day, and it simple calculate the cut off day for current month. But when i publish the PM i am receiving the following error message: ERROR:EVAL:@reason=Expression is invalid (1 token(s) remain after parsing) Any advice please? Thanks

Hi, Im new to using reject function.  Now im using the reject function in a process model in a script task  In the input : I am calculating a map which looks like this :  {    id : <>,    account : <account_cdt(id, name, hold_code)>  } Now in the output tab I want to use reject function to reject all those accounts who have hold codes null ... but then my requirement is that the ID should remain in the output I am using reject function like this :  reject( fn!isnull(_),     a!forEach(           items : ac!map,           expression : {                  id : fv!item.id,                  holdCodes : index(index(fv!item, "account"), "hold_code")           }    ) ) Now I know this wont work, but can anyone suggest me how to make it

Hi, I have a requirement to append the values of a particular computation to a local variable using append function  The rule goes like this :  a!localVariables( local!data : {"x", "y", "z", }, local!finalValues, a!forEach( items: local!data, expression: append( local!finalValues, performSomeComputation(fv!item) ) ) ) now the problem is, the local variable is not getting updated no matter what, I tried using update dictionary as well as insert(local!finalValues, length(local!finalValues) + 1, fv!item) .. but still it wont append .. is there any other method I can use to append values ?

Hello, The documentation says I should be able to execute and return the results of a robotic task in an interface, but I'm having trouble figuring this out. My task is working correctly in the RPA, and I'm also able to run it in a process model, but I can't figure out the SAIL recipe to get the results in an interface. The farthest I've gotten is that I know I need to use a!testRunResultForId(), but it says I need to input the "Test run ID," and I don't know where to find that. Can someone help me out? Thank you, Jason

I have CDT with following fields While using a!toJson , it is EXCLUDING fields which are having NULL values except fields with TEXT datatype. Expresion: -  a!localVariables( local!data: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:RS}RS_dummyCDT'(id: 1, name: "abc"), a!toJson(local!data)) Result:   Note: If I use parameter removeNullOrEmptyFields as true, it also excluding text fields which are null a!localVariables( local!data: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:RS}RS_dummyCDT'(id: 1, name: "abc"), a!toJson( value: local!data, removeNullOrEmptyFields: true )) Result: While using a!toJson_17r1, it is returning all the fields of the CDT irrespective of NULL values.

Hello folks, in my current solution i use an expression rule which queries a View in DB and returns the data based on filter. The Contract Number is an array of Text type, so far as operator i used "in" which worked perfectly even with multiple values. Now there is a new requirement from the business that instead of using exact values they want to have something like contains ("includes" or "start with"). It works if i change the type from array to single value, but not working with array. Is there any way how to make this work even for array? I am getting the following error message while using array: a!queryEntity_22r2( fetchTotalCount: TRUE, entity: cons!ICH_ENTITY_ICH_V_ContractReferenceData, query: a!query( selection: if( rule!GBL_isBlankOrEmpty(ri!fields), null, a!querySelection( columns: a!forEach( items: ri!fields, expression: a!queryColumn(field: fv!item) ) ) ), logi

Hi All,  I am working on the Appian IDP application. I have trained it on some single-page documents, and it is perfectly working for single-page documents. Now, I have a document that consists of some text fields and a table. The table is starting from page 1 and going up to page 2, but for this document only the single page is getting extraction for the table. I am not able to select the table details from the next page. Can someone else also face this problem, and do we have any solutions for it? Thanks in advance.
