Process Modeling

What is the main difference between end node and terminate node from process/architect perspective like archive, data management/ engine? PS: we all know the implementation that if terminate node execute then it will close any in progress node in a process unlike end node.

For many years, Appian designers have been unable to easily log data upon the acceptance of a task (when a user clicks "Accept"). Whenever the business asks for this, whether for task metrics, or updating statuses, or any other reason, we usually tell them it's impossible or come up with mediocre workaround using a splash screen with a custom task assignment / acceptance. If only Appian could expose a saveInto for the Accept button...  I recently finished implementing an approach that allows designers to start any process or write any record upon acceptance. If anyone's interested or has a similar use case, please comment below and perhaps try to guess the solution. Hint: use an integration call in a local variable to start a process model or a!writeRecords. The tricky part is determining the moment a task is accepted. This is different for tasks assigned to groups vs tasks assigned to individual users. If there's interest, I&#39

Activity chaining is used to show forms in succession , then how activity chaining can decrease the performance . 

Currently I am using appian provided Document extraction AI skills. While running the process it is taking approx 3~5 min for document extraction from a high resolution pdf. How can we improve the performance of the AI skill, any thoughts?

Hi, I have an issue when using custom sender in the email sending nodes. I have a very simple process with two email sending nodes in parallel. Both nodes are configured exactly the same, except for the sender type: one of them is 'Custom sender' and the other is 'Process'. I have tried different combinations in the 'Sender email' field, and nothing works. To rule out that the email is going to a spam folder, I have put a personal email in the recipient email, and only the email configured with 'From: Process' arrives, just as it happens when I use a corporate email. Furthermore, in the 'Sender email' field, I have tried using both the toemailrecipient() function and the toemailaddress() function. Neither of the nodes gives an error. Any ideas on what might be happening?

Hello everone, We have a process with an user interface. User is filling some information and saving the form. After this user is changing the locale setting and wish to see the form in new language and doing browser refresh to see the form in newly selected language. The issue is on browser refresh, the current process instance is abandoned and a new process instance starts, making all saved information disappear. Please advice if there is any way to stay on same process after browser refresh. Thanks, Priyanka

Hello Everyone, I am converting HTML to CSV using this process nodes and it's working fine.

Please see below screenshot.  Requirement: When I open that CSV file in Notepad++ I see this: I need to remove these quotes in a file. How can I achieve this?Thanks

I have process model which contains interfaces one after other and some of the system task , the process has actvity chaining  now my requirement is after submission of 1st form we need to send mail and we kept that send email smart service in between , now if the email got failied flow shouls not stop ie the flow should be continued.

Instead of using And gate to run parallel flows is it ok to use dummy script task and branch it parallel flows ? like this

Need a solution for medium risk alert. Please share inputs. Description: # of unattended process loops Details: 9 process flows contain unattended loops with 2 or more nodes. Looping is typically an indication of using processes to perform extract-transform-load (ETL) type operations. It is recommended to use specific ETL tools (such as a database) to implement complex and bulk background operations. Process Model Name -> is check? (3 nodes in loop) is Check - > is an XOR gate

Hi Team, In Prod particular process getting error and seeing 400+ instances failed in process monitoring with process with errors. I want to create process report and get the error message those instances in the part of the report field and I will segregate the issue based on this. Do we have any function or predefined to get this?? Kindly help on this. Thanks

Hi Team,  I have a requirement where the email needs to be triggered on specific date and time. For ex. User is raising a request initially. While raising the request he can set the remainder date. This date I am storing in DB. Email needs to be triggered for the remainder dates. What is the best practice to do this?Thanks!!

I have an existing Record UWM-Case that had 2 sub-objects UWM-UnderwritingCase and UWM-Policy.   A Related Action on on UWM Case for Add Decision looks like this: I can see that hardcoded value show up in the variables in the process model, but the interface is still behaving as if the value is null.  I have added it to the Process Model VariablesI cannot figure out what else to try to get the value to the interface.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I'm looking to archive process instances that are currently active, paused, or paused due to an exception. We've already configured process instance archival after 5 days with deletion after 3 days, but we now have over 10,000 process instances in these states that we want to archive instead of deleting, as we may need them in the future. Is there a script or another method we can use to archive these instances? Thanks, Manish

Hi All, I have a scenario where Appian task is already created with the task display name, for example as 'Task abc with amount $100". Now when the user opens the task form, the amount will be recalculated in local variables and and are updated in database using Store Procedure execution function in local variables . So, every time when the form loads, the amount will get refreshed and updated in Database as well. Now my issue is ,when the amount is refreshed, the task display name should also get refresh, for example if the amount is refreshed from $100 to $200 , then task display name should be 'Task abc with amount $200". Note: The amount in task will get refreshed at the time of form loads, without any user interaction inside the form. Please help me to achieve this. Thanks in Advance.

Hello, everyone, I need to create a PDF from a template that requires a dynamic hyperlink. When I tried using a DOC template, the link wasn't generated. When I attempted to use an HTML template, the link was generated, but after converting it to PDF, the link didn't work in the converted PDF. Could you please suggest a way to create a dynamic hyperlink in a PDF?

Hi everyone,I have a process with a PDF from HTML task. The problem is that the pdf that is generated only has one page, so only the content that fits on one page is displayed. How can I modify this process to generate multpiple pages? This is the process:

Hi, Over time, Appian users have been deactivated.  When process models created by these deactivated users are modified by a change to a sub process model, then warnings are sent to deactivated users.  Would like to stop this happening by reassigning the process model to a active user. Regards

I am looking for a way to activate the Process Model as soon as a user opens the record summary for the first time. Additionally, I want to record the time when the summary was first accessed. Is there any way to achieve this? One possible solution that I thought of is displaying a button to start the process model when the summary interface is launched.

Hi All, we have process model A ,B ,C ,D A is created by Duplicate existing process model D B is using A as Child C is using D as Child  when we are saving process model A we are getting parent process warning :-   This process model is used by the following process models which may be affected by your changes. If you continue, the owners of these models will be notified. B  and C is affecting  I checked all the nodes of C but we are not using anywhere process model A then why we are getting this warning for C 

Hi Team, In my process one of the process triggered unwanted scenarios and if I want to check parent process for the process. But I am unable to find it due to start process triggered the process. Do you know any other way to find the parent process Id or process name. (only for start process). Subprocess we can do by parentprocessid function. Thanks, Pradeep Sridharan
