User Experience Design

Hi team, The requirement is to display a pie chart in the dashboard. For the pie chart, I am using a card layout. Inside that, I am calling the KPI interface. The KPI interface has a side-by-side layout at the top and KPI and side-by-side layout at the bottom. I want to use only KPI size medium and card layout size tall_plus, but with this combination, I am getting a scroll. Is there any way to compress the height of the KPI using any other component?

Hi, I have a process model with a user task. user task has a Rich text editor, where user uploads the images but leaves the form without submission.

Background: This issue is only happening in our three environments (DEV). Issue: When using an a!documentImage field inside a!imageField, the image only displays if the sit is set to 'FIT'.  It is not displaying for any other size setting (including null).  In the following code, the interface is only displaying the image where the size is set to 'FIT':{ a!imageField( label: "Image", labelPosition: "ABOVE", images: { a!documentImage(document: a!EXAMPLE_DOCUMENT_IMAGE()) }, size: "MEDIUM", isThumbnail: false, style: "STANDARD" ), a!sectionLayout( contents: { a!imageField( images: { a!documentImage( document: cons!G_FILETYPE_ICON_IMG_SMALL ) }, showWhen: true, size: "FIT" ) } ), a!sectionLayout( contents: { a!imageField( label: "Image Field Example", images: { a!documentImage( document: a!iconNewsEvent(icon: "HAMMER", color: "BLUE") ), a!documentImage( document: a!iconNewsEvent(icon:

Hi All .I hope everyone is doing good. I have a scenario , but not sure if its possible / correct/not . Please let me know if any one has any ideas or any suggestions. Scenario: I have used navigation pattern in interface . This uses different interfaces in choose function and get the data accordingly .  Is it possible to do it in a single interface instead of using multiple interfaces or can we use a single grid ( instead of calling a!grid and the data for all the remaining status) and call the value in local variable and pas the local variable and get data accordingly .........! Below is the code for an idea what i am describing about . Any ideas / suggestion please let me know. Thank you in advance [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] { a!localVariables( /* The selected navigation section */ local!activeNavSection: 1, /* The navigation sections */ local!navSections: { a!map(name: "Requested"), a!map(name: "Inprogress"), a!map(name: "Delayed&q

I have a question about the text() function.When I used "#" in the second argument to text(), the following behavior occurred.When I tried to match the digits and separators to the format,the numbers after the decimal point changed.The documentation says that "#" is a format for numbers,but does it also convert the numbers themselves? ・document docs.appian.com/.../fnc_text_text.html ↓exmapletext("12,333,333,333,333.12","##,###,###,###,###.##")　→　"12,333,333,333,333.11" is returned.

I have a scenario where the users is viewing an interface from a record action.   Before they click submit to complete the record action I want them to click a button that will call an integration and that value returned will either allow them to submit or not (it is a backend validation process).   Everything I am trying I run into issues because the refresh variable.The code: a!localVariables( local!loggedInUserVar:fn!loggedInUser(), local!isLoading: false, local!isValid: a!refreshVariable( value: if( local!isLoading, rule!UWM_Map_Calculate_Data( caseId: ri!case.caseId, loggedInuserVar: local!loggedInUserVar ), false ), refreshOnVarChange: local!isLoading, refreshAlways: true, ), a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!sectionLayout( contents: { a!cardLayout( conte

TCN is a system used for auto-dialling customers in our use case.  Currently, TCN interfaces are used to auto-dial the customers and record the communications. However, with Appian coming into picture, we are now exploring the option to embed the TCN Screen into Appian interfaces. Your inputs here are highly appreciated here on achieving this.

Hi all, I am facing an issue related to data being refreshed in read-only grid. The issue is in my read-only grid, I have navigated to a different page say 21-30. But after certain interval i.e., 30 sec my grid page navigates back to 1-10 automatically. I have a configuration of refresh Interval of 30 sec in the read-only grid. Does the grid refresh configuration update only the grid data or it also impacts the current fv!pagingInfo of the grid? Reason to add refreshInterval was to update the grid data for user as soon as a new work item is created. BTW the data field is a recordtype which allows me to use certain other features of grid.

Hi, Can I have a button inside of a dropdown?  Thanks in advance

Appian Family,  Here is my Interface -- JR_InterfaceName 1) File Upload field in an interface >> Define the Target Folder with all correct permissions. 2) Submit Button: "submit" set to true. I have 2 scenarios here 1) Just the interface by itself is just working fine when I upload the file and click submit. It gets save to the target folder. 2) When the same interface is either called from another interface as rule (rule!JR_InterfaceName) it doesn't work. The file is not saved to the target folder. I am pretty sure the document object is there but it's just not available to either save in a target folder or for anything else. What is it that I am missing? is it an Appian shortfall/Issue? I am assuming that this is very basic need for almost everyone. 3) Just to play around further I called a Process Model using "saveinto" property of the button passing some dummy variables and the Document Uploaded from the upload control, The PM got call

Hi Everyone, We need to manually validate the accessibility of a few styled text editor components before enabling the document export. While this can be done using browser extensions or accessibility testing tools, the client wants to perform the check within Appian. I would appreciate any insights on whether there are any Appian community-supported plugins or reliable APIs that can help achieve this. Thanks!

I need to validate the checkboxes when the submit button is clicked, based on a specific condition. There are four checkboxes, and before submitting the form, the user must check at least one. However, instead of using FormLayout, I’ve created the form using CardLayout and local variables. I’m looking for suggestions on how to improve or streamline this approach.

How can we allow certain users to view critical fields while restricting access for others, all within the same application and read-only interface? What’s the best approach to achieve this?

Not sure where i went wrong, gets below error, i understand error says i cannot use rule inputs in a!save, any suggestions to fix it:
