Process Modeling

Hello I have a template that I have created where one sheet is "protected" so that it can only be edited with a password. When I use the "Copy Document" smart service, that protection remains in the copy. However, when I use the Export Data Store Entity to Excel smart service, the protection goes away. Is there any way to keep this protection or some other way to make a sheet read-only within Excel upon completion of the Export Smart Service? Thanks

What to know if we can prevent multiple schedulers from firing when the server is down and then restarted? In our case we are using End User Reporting module, which has a time interval based Scheduler which runs every 15 mins. Our application servers are down outside office hours. If there is an notification schedule during the outage time, then on server startup the notifications get sent out 100 or more times, due to all the missed schedulers firing again on startup. For the fixed time schedulers we have used Advanced Condition on the timer to fix this problem. But we cannot use the same for a time interval based scheduler.

Hi all - We're Using Reactivate User to procedurally reactivate accounts for re-hired contractors - but we also need to reset their passwords, as they're all accounts that previously utilized SSO.  In the past, the old accounts would have been left by the wayside and we would have just created them new ones (thus adding to the clutter-pile of disused accounts), but now we're able to change their username, which is a strong positive in general. The problem: Our customer / stakeholders are STRONGLY against forcing users to undergo the multiple clicks necessary to do a manual "forgot password" request on the sign-in page, and to be fair, nothing was "forgotten" in this case.  The days of having the "change password" smart service via plug-in are sadly long-gone, but we don't even have a way to procedurally kick off an automated password reset for a particular user.  Why? Edit: this issue is now satisfied thanks to the newer plug

I would like to know the different ways to start a process in Case Management Studio. For example, If I would like to create cases from an excel upload with different records, would it be possible to do so?

I´m just starting in Appian and I want to create a process in which I upload an Excel with some registers and for each register the process create a task. Is it possible to do it easily?

I need to change the name of a field of an existing CDT to match database field. The CDT is backed by database entity whose data store has the automatically update database schema option disabled. The old column name is EMPLOYEEID and the new column isEMPLOYEE_ID.how to proceed further. 1. Download the CDT as XSD, make the appropriate changes, and re-upload the XSD, verify and publish the data store. 2. Rename the field in the record type in appian to automatically update the CDT field. 3. Rename the field in the CDT in appian. Verify and publish the data store.

Hi, I'm trying to insert a timer in a process model (like that simplified in the screenshot belowe), but with the timer the chain between first and second User Input Task stop working, the second UIT doesn't appear (only in Tempo). The same behavior in a more complex process with many nodes between the two UITs What I'm doing wrong? thanks!

Can you give us some technical details? I would like to understand what is going on under the hood.

hey, I am trying to sent email to a process model which gets triggered if it receives email as receive message event. I am using an on premise appian application. I tried to sent the emial using prcoessmodeluuid@domain but the mail is not getting sent. Also how to cofigure the domain for email. I already read the document but it wasnt of much help.

Hi all, I am trying to capture Mail sent by user and save the attachment in a folder. I am using Receive Message Event for the same and sending mail from my Gmail account to the Process Model UUID as mentioned in the forum "processmodeluuid<UUID>@subdomain.appiancloud.com". Mail is not getting sent in Gmail and used another Smart service, 'SEND EMAIL' for sending mail for the above ID. Then also the process is not working and error "No Valid recipient" is displayed. I have done everything as per documentation. Can anyone please let me know the flow on how to Send the mail and start the process to receive the mail with attachment? Thanks in Advance. Please find screenshots below for reference and let me know the changes to be done.    Receive Message Event properties:      Process model properties.

I have an expression rule that returns a value based on rule inputs. When I run this rule as a stand alone rule, it gets the data I expect. When I run this rule in process model A, I get the result I expect. But when I run the rule in process model B, I don't get the results I expect. These 2 process models are child processes that get called at the same time, and have the same inputs. The node that runs the rule has the exact same inputs, settings, assignments, etc. I can't see any reason why the rule would work correctly when run manually, or when run from process model A, and not process model B. For context, they are expected to return the same value in both process models. Am I missing something? If it helps, I'm using Appian Cloud v22.3

Hi All.  Am using Set External PV plugin to update process variable of two different process. Lets say process ids 12345 and 54321 and both PM are having same security. But I could able to update PV for process 54321 whereas I couldn't do the same for other process. Its showing below error.  "An error occurred while trying to update the PVs of process with id 12345: Insufficient permission" Can anyone suggest how to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a process model where a rule is processed in a script task running parallel to a user input task. At the second AND gate, there are two possible scenarios: First API Call Path Reaches the AND Gate First: The API path reaches the AND gate before the user submits the task. This scenario works as expected, triggering the next chained User Input Task (UIT) in the process after the submission of first UIT. User Submits the Task First: The user submits the task before the API path reaches the AND gate. In this case, the next UIT is not triggered as expected. anyone knows what's the reason for this to happen ?note : the script task is not an actual API call but just an expression rule with some dummy dataThanks

Hi All,I have few records and out of those if i am trying to open any sync enabled records it's taking more than 30 mins ,not only opening if i am trying to sync these records it's taking forever.At the same time if i am trying to create or update any value for these synched records using "Write Records" in process model it's taking minimum of 15 mins, in some cases it's throwing "system encountered an error" , but when I checked in the database the write happened quickly (<1 min). We are using Oracle Database.We are not quite sure why this is happening,any leads /ideas? Thanks in Advance.

I am creating a cardlayout button that uses an a!startProcess link (which is shown below). On the initial grid page, I have a cardlayout button that when selected initiates a Create/Update Process model that users can update or create records for. The process model takes in a dynamic input for what type of file to create, and what location the file is associated with. The main issue is that once the user either cancels the form, updates a record, or creates a record, the form does not refresh to the initial page with the cardLayout and grid view of all the current records within the database. The data is added to the database and shows in the grid view when the user manually refreshes the page. However, the task does not exit out of the form to enter/update/cancel data. I also double checked the create(update)/cancel buttons and both have submit as true. I am not sure why the process doesn't close and refresh the initial page the process was initiated from.I should also add that th

Hello, I'm looking to see if there is an Appian out of the box method to do the following: I have a form for users to enter info and submit, and they have the option to submit information once, or submit info and stay on the form, basically just like the create & add another user functionality. I want the users to see a temporary confirmation message after they click on submit and stay on form, so that they know the information they entered was submitted. Like this, but I want the text to show something customizable, and I want the user to remain back on the form without needing to click on any additional buttons. I've seen there is the bannerMessage field on a!startProcessLink, but I'm having difficulties getting the message to show up with customizable text. I do know there are custom code to get cards to automatically show up and go away, but I'm wondering if there's any oob feature. Thanks!

I have a word with text, tables and images. First, I need to fill the fields with ###field### on the word, next I need to convert it to PDF. I have tried to convert the document to PDF with nodes: PDF from DOCX and PDF from Single DOCX (with Fonts), but both of them change the styles. How do I make sure that the styles of the PDF do not change?

Hi , I have a requirement to make logic when suppose I have a table with different columns as: A, B, C, D and here there are 5 version for each row example: V1 has A1,B1,C1,D1 V2has A2,B2,C2,D2 and so on till V5 Now what is need to be done is when user is updating v1 version then he is allowed to update only D1  and once he update D1 column as 2 then future version of D2, D3, D4, D5 will only update as 2 when A1+B1+C1 combination contains exact value and if any of the version does not contains the combination of A+B+C then value of D as 2 will not update for that version example: V1:  A1=cat  B1=dog C1=bat D1=1 V2: A2=cat B2=dog C2=bat D2 = 2 while updating D1 = 5 ( V1: A1=cat B1=dog C1=bat D1=5) then value changes for V2 (future version only if a1 b1 and c1 is identical as a2 b2 c2): V2: A2=cat B2=dog C2=bat D2= 5 [mention:b45a4f6a20b14a008e4e0ec732a8bf98:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]
