Records

Hello! My issue is as follows: The app serves the purpose of office desks' management, where desks can be booked by users for periods of time. For this case we have two recordTypes: "Desk" and "Booking", and a foreign key that connects them. The "Book this Desk" record action saves the "bookingNumber" to the Desk recordType, but the data for the booking itself is stored in the "Booking" recordType. One of the requirements is that a priviliged user shall be able to book multiple desks for a group of users. We figured that these priviliged users will create groups through the Create Group Smart Service and therefore the Booking will be assigned to a group. That should work fine for assigning multiple users to one Desk, but is there a way to take action on multiple recordsTypes? In this case, to assign one group of users to multiple "Booking" recordTypes, each of which will in turn be assigned to multiple desks (one "B

Hi, To get a value from a memory CDT list (not a table) on a single field condition, I use Index(CDT, whereContains(value, CDT.field2)). In SQL : SELECT * FROM table WHERE field2 = value Is there any way to do the same thing with Appian fonctions when we need to make a lookup with an AND condition ? Ex : SELECT field1 FROM table WHERE field2 = value AND field3 = value  Otherwise, I would do it with a simple foreach(). (PS : My question, is "not" about how to query a table with multiple logical conditions of queryEntity [emoticon:bfea11b94cc048458ee2c01f963db38d] )

I deleted some rows in DB and the data in record type was not updated accordingly.  I've checked the tab Sync Options in record type and there is a button Start Full Sync. I'm wondering if it will affect the DB when I click that button to sync data manually, as this record type is scheduled for full sync at another time, and I want my record type data to be updated immediately.  Thanks for any advise!

Hi everyone, I'm filtering this record to only query cases with completed date within nearest 5 days. My query code is as below: a!queryFilter( field: recordType!Record.completedDateTime, operator: ">", value: datetime( year(now()), month(now()), day(now()) - 5, 00, 00, 00, 00 ) ) The code worked well last week, but this morning it suddenly showed this error:  The Requested Record Type Is Not Available The default filters expression for record type failed to evaluate. Details: [Expression evaluation error at function a!queryFilter [line 4]: Date out of range: Invalid day]. (APNX-1-4205-018) I've checked the DB and data for this column was the same structure as last week:  datetime /* mariadb-5.3 */ . For example: 2022-08-01 04:14:49.  Any one has faced the same error code? Please give me some suggestion if possible...  Thank you!

Hello We have recently upgraded to 22.3 on-premise installation and using SQL server as data source. In the new release of 22.3 its mentioned you can create New Data Model in Record page and design the columns within the Record itself. However, this option isn't available in our environment (link below). see attachment/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/16/Screenshot-2022_2D00_08_2D00_29-105432.jpg My question is, is such feature is available only for Cloud customers or there additional configuration is required to see such option.

Hi Team, We have a grid which shows data from record type where we pull data from DB table. We have a column which is integer in DB table but in the grid we have shown the value with a text prefix.

While searching it does not show any value but with 123 it returns me the row. Please let me know if we can search the grid with value TXT123 and how to do it.

Hi All, I am using an existing table which is having around 61 lakh something data as a source to my record. There is no particular source filter to add so I have added filter to my primary key to display record within appian's sync limit. But while I am using search Text in record I am not getting the value which is beyond the source filter limit. Is there any solution to overcome this issue. Thanks & Regards, Kavya
