Process Modeling

We have a unique user request that the user wants to submit change request to an approver group without having to close the interface and click another start process link in the read only grid. Currently the process model has a Process Start form that the user can edit changes. Here is the issue they want to send the changes to an approver group while keeping the interface page open to use a dropdown to select another entity and submit a request multiple times. Basically he users want to be able to submit change request and not have to keep going back in to the interface page from a link each time.

Hi everyone, I use a!startProcess() in an interface, so that the process will be kicked off once clicked the button. I want to disable that button until the process completes. Is there anyway to do so? Thank you!

Hi all, I am working to create a Word doc in a Process Model w/ DOCX from Dynamic Template that should include text, dynamic text, a table with text, images, and small icons. I have included the bookmarks/links as described in this post: https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/20335/sending-multiple-images-over-a-dynamic-docx-template-smart-service . Below is the template I am currently working off of- [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/File1.docx:320:240] The document I would like to create should look like this (images should be actual images): [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/File2.docx:320:240] The parameters in the process model:  XmlDataModel: "<slide>" & rule!ERR_formatFieldXML(field: "name", text: ri!slide.slideTitle) & rule!ERR_formatFieldXML(field: "poc", text: "test") & rule!ERR_formatFieldXML(field: "pocType", tex

Hi, Can anyone help me on how an active process instance in prod environment can be updated?

Hi! I´m trying to update a value (recepcionado = true) by clicking a button in an interface (button --> changes a field of the record to "true"). I created the interface and the rule input (record, from my record type) changes its value correctly, but it´s not saved. I did a process model to save the records, but when I try to use the write records component, the following message appears: ID pedido is my primary key in this record type. The interface (process start form) is a summary view for each ID_pedido, so I don´t know how to fix this error. When I run the process, even though the write records fails, my process variable (recepcionado = true) is saved What can I do?

When I create a group using the `Create Group` smart service, it inherits the security from the Parent group configured. In addition to that it also adds the initiator as Administrator in the Security. Is there any way to remove that in the process and not manually? 

Hi all, I have a use case where we want to start a process (process model independent of parent process) in different Appian environments from its parent process model. So we need to accomplish an action in appian environment 1 and appian environment 2 once certain actions are completed in appian environment 3. PM in appian environment 3 should trigger PMs in Appian environment 1 & 2 upon its completion, we cannot use web API or integration here. So I wanted to understand if we can make use of 'start process by email' option to start multiple process which are in different appian environments. Also if we have any other better approach for this scenarios? Any suggestion here much appreciated. Thanks, Preji

Hello! How can I make a query (it would be based on an id introduced by the user in the start form of the process) to a record and save the value to a process variable, in order to use it further in the model?

Hi! I´m trying to make a logic between a value entered by user in my process model and a related field (linked by relationship). But the logic isn´t working and I dont know how to pass the relationship in the model (as I do easily in the interfaces). In the first "write records" the relationship appears in the node inputs But then, when I make the logic in the XOR, the relationship does not appear. Even if I put it manually, the logic fails. What can be causing that? 

Hi! I am facing a problem in my process model. The fact is that, when I run the process for the first time, the fields introduced by the user (interface from start form) are saved correctly. But when I finish the process and I try it a second time, the values of the process variable are not overwritten ( they are correctly written in my record, but it is like they are not saved in the process model, so all my logic runs according to the first time introduced fields). I have some captures of the problem: Fields introduced for second time  But when you search in process variable, the recordFact fields are not updated The most confusing thing is that, even though it seems they are not saved correctly, the updates appear in my records Any help would be useful Thanks a lot

We want to be able to launch the X appian instance from the Y so that the details can be passed by the system.

We are getting some error while calling a sub process from a main process with the following error:Invalid 190dbe45-bafb-4e8c-92bb-e7ba7605bb0e: Cannot validate type, incorrect number of elementsThe UUID is referring to the record type.  Any idea on what might be the root cause for this?? 

Hi, I would want to ask how can I use the related fields (record relationship fields) in a process model. Now I´m passing a null value The relation appears in the "Write Record Inputs" And these are the outputs: Then, I have a XOR to put conditions to the related fields, but I think I´m not passing the values well because the logic is not working. 

I still got this error "The number of tasks per node  (Node name) would exceed the limit of 1000" after setting MNI as below:  Could some one help clarify the use of the highlighted tick box please? I thought it is to replace the looping if there are more than 1000 instances for the process node?

Hi! I created an interface with an editable grid so that the user can add invoice line information and new rows. When clicking the button of confirmation, the rows must be saved into a record ([]). The interface runs in a perfect way when I test it (all the values I write are stored in local!data) , but when I try to add it to the process model an error appears :  Image of the error related with local variables (local!data): To create the interface I followed the steps of an Appian tutorial ("Write or Delete Records using an Editable Grid | Editable Grids, Part 2"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0FF9aCZRBE In the tutorial, we store the inserted values in a local variable (local!data), to end passing the information to the record. I leave here the code: a!formLayout( label: "Crear Nueva Factura (2/2)", contents: { a!localVariables( local!data, { a!sectionLayout( label: "Información de LÃ%ADnea de Factura", contents: { a!gridLayout(

Hi All, We have a requirement to keep an audit trail of re-assigned tasks. Who reassigned the task, when, and to whom.I checked the documentation https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Process_Reports.html#task-report-typebut did not see anything.Does anyone have some hints to achieve this without abandon the Appian Task Assignment capabilities completely? Thanks

Hi everyone, I have to set up a process that is always run, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The process is based on receiving emails that are sent to the starting node, I don't know exactly when they are sent and above all the cadence of the process is random: even hundreds of emails per minute can be sent at the end of the day or at regular intervals. How do you set the timer trigger for this case? p.s: i don't have the license to integrate Appian with RPA Thank you all.

Hi Guys, I created a process model which let the user inserts his information then save them to the database, it worked fine, but doesn't save the data to the database. When I did refresh I got this.

Hi Team, I have few files which get downloaded in my Appian server. I have a requirement where I need to pull these files from server and make these files available to the user. Can someone suggest how to achieve this? Also if I want to send these files from server as an attachment in my 'Send Email' smart service, will I be able to do that? If yes, please tell me the process. Any suggestion would help. Thank you

Hi all, Our process model is sending a notification to a group email of about 700 or so people (xxx@abc.org) but it's not working. The notification email doesn't get sent out. However, we've tested the same process model with different group emails (yyy@abc.org) that have less people, probably like 20 or so, and that works. The process model is using send email smart service. Any thoughts? TIA

I want to implement a scenario where a User Input Task is getting assigned to a configured user in loop which is getting executed based on some real time data, please see the screenshot below to understand the scenario better. The issue here is when 2nd time I'm reaching out to Approval Task I'm not able to open the interface it says "The Task Could Not Be Submitted The task has already been submitted." Please see below Neither I'm getting any notification email for this Task.  Can someone please suggest what am I doing wrong here, or if there is anything wrong with this implementation.

Hi, I'm in an interface A, and I'm calling a process from a!startProcess.Inside the process I have an Input task to display interface B. Could you explain me why when I call the process, it works fine but the Interface B is never displayed ? (all the nodes are linked with chaining)

Hi All, Is there any way we can download entire .msg file (including attachments and email body as is) in Appian directly ? Thanks, ND

Hi all, I had a scenario Where i used MNI to start sub process (The sub process creates instance for each item in a parent PV , All at once and moves on each time an instance finished). And Inside sub process i'm just writing to Record , with a wait time which was defined in that parent pv. and i'm mapping output from sub process back on to parent. And on next node i'm appending it to a list. My issue right now was if two sub processes completed at same time one of the two is getting ignored second one getting  appended twice to the list. (i Can't use looping ******, cause i want to process all the data once .)

Hello guys, i would like to ask if there is a way in case Write to Datastore entity fails for some reason to save the error message to PV and display it in interface.  My next question related to this is if we can move the process to different path (end node or other path) in case Write to Datastore entity node fails? Thanks
