I was trying to follow this course for RPA Windows Automation: https://academy.appian.com/#/online-courses/b08d47ca-0cac-42a4-803d-7384e0127dc4 The course stated to select the Element Selector to Name instead of Automation ID in Interact Element Action, and select the parameterized variables they told to create for the Element Selector Name. The problem is this doesn't work on my end. When I switch the Element Selector to Name and select the parameterized variable, the bot is unable to find the element as shown here:  However, when I deselect the Parameter checkbox in the variables, I was able to proceed with the Action, but the value of the clicked number in the calculator doesn't save in the variables:

While trying to check an empty map, a!isNullOrEmpty and a!isNotNullOrEmpty are not working, rather giving opposite result.  The result of a!isNullOrEmpty(a!map())should be true but the function is returning false. Not sure if this is a bug but something that might need the engineering team's attention. [mention:6b9f80ff18f9420082d13ef2d5121d56:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

Hi, I am trying to call the Appian RPA robotic process from Appian. I have created a connected system and integration object. In the integration object i have selected the operation as 'Execute Robotic process' but I don't see any robotic processes to select. The following message is displayed there "You do not have permission to retrieve the list of robotic processes.".  I could see the robotic processes when I login to RPA with same login and I have the same permissions to resource, user and robotic process. I do not know what is missing here. Please advise.

I want to Create time slots for specific interval and get a List of all slots (like 20 min or 30 min slot) for Interval.

I have the following which i saved as a process variable of type text { "userId": "abc123", "submissionId": "111222333", "createdDt": "2022-06-17T04:07:19.611Z"} I want to remove spacing between the commas and colons, trying to do so with substitute(pv!text, ": ", ":") and substitute(pv!text, ", ", ","). It works for the colon, but not for the comma, so the result is the following { "userId":"abc123", "submissionId":"111222333", "createdDt":"2022-06-17T04:07:19.611Z"} Also, when i use stripwith(pv!text,","), the comma can be affected and removed. Wondering why substitute cant do the same. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how else I can remove the space between the comma?

I have a requirement where the client would like to be able to scan barcodes using a handheld scanning machine and have them save in the Appian UI. I have read the following documentation: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/Retrieve_Data_By_Scanning_A_Barcode.html From the documentation, it seems that it is only possible to scan a barcode and show it on the Appian UI using a mobile device (smartphone). Is there any way to achieve the same functionality using a handheld scanner, either Bluetooth or USB?  The brand the client has is Symbol.  For example: www.amazon.com/.../B00HYOPAJG

Hi, I am creating a BOT, need to interact with element - login and password --> credentials..should be simple and straightforward but something's wrong..any help will be appreciated. for login, am trying to use name as selector with username as value same issue with class name.. and it is unable to find this selector as you see the source code doesn't gives me too many options.. when I try to use the recorder ..it picks up the CSS selector with value as c-portal-login and the login works perfectly but the problem is for the password field as well recorder is picking CSS selector = c-portal-login which confuses the BOT later (quite obviously) and the BOT updates the value of login and password credentials both on the same login field.. any suggestion will be helpful thanks jaideep
