on page 1 on click of submit button am calling a Async service call which will return the data through calling Appian Web API and API is storing data to Maria DB. Meanwhile API is running user is forwarded to Page 2 on page 2 am dependent on the service call response which i called on page 1,as it was written to Maria DB how to get data from Maria DB to page 2 automatically without user action and can't use refreshVariable interval because not definite time on receiving response from service did any one implemented Async service calls in their work? if yes please let me know how you implemented the process of receiving response and reflecting the same on interface Thanks in advance

I have an interface that gets data via an integration and then filters those results: local!caseCommentsResult: rule!UWM_Get_Case_Comments(caseId: ri!caseId), local!caseComments: local!caseCommentsResult.result.body, local!filteredActivities: a!forEach( items: local!caseComments, expression: if( tostring(fv!item.commentType) = "CASE_NOTE", fv!item, null ) ), And it is displayed in a grid:a!columnLayout( contents: { a!localVariables( local!pageSize: 25, { a!gridField_23r3( emptyGridMessage: "No comments available", data: local!filteredNonNullActivities,I want the grid to refresh on two different scenarios - 1.  on RECORD_ACTION  (adding a new row)2.  when a row is edited by direct integration callI've tried various different scenarios of local variables but cannot figure out how to get the refresh to work with both these scenarios, especia

We’ve large csv files and we want them in Appian, how will you do it

Hi! How can i show an array of documents in my interface for users to download? This is my situation: I am building an interface in the interface designer, and i have a rule input with the array of documents, now i want to show those documents for users to download, so i used a Link field component that let me put some links and i used the a!documentDownloadLink( to do that), but i do not know how to do it for a dynamic array because i will do not know the values of the rule input array, it is not static, it comes from the database. So now i know how to access if it is static , and  that would be for instance  like: a!documentDownloadLink(document: ri!ACAA_CreditRequest.creditDocs[1]) and so on, but with a dynamic array i do not know how to do this.

Team, I'm following the 'User Centered Design Practices' course on Appian academy which mentions the UX Design Guide. I'm unable to find a link to it in community. Is it found under a different heading now?

Hello,  We have a client that is interested in embedding Appian within an IFrame on their site. They would like to set the IFrame height to fit the Appian embedded Interface to avoid having to scroll within the IFrame. Does anyone know a method within Appian to retrieve the specific dimensions per unique interface? We would like to use those dimensions to size each specific IFrame.  Thank you in advance. 

Hi Community, I am facing a weird issue in one of my environments.

Please let me know if anybody has faced this issue, or have any solutionsFYI: The plugin is updated to its latest version The same code is working fine on my different environments.

How am I supposed to on a addRowLink, add an empty document file to my list of documents files? The thing is: on a interface, the fileUploadField is working, but it doesn't work on the site addRowlink: a!dynamicLink( label: "Inserir novo documento", /*value: { id: null, doc: "", tipo: "", descricao: "" },*/ value: 'recordType!{1f7c4a8e-ee45-44c7-8872-dc5542133555}GC Documento Proposta'( 'recordType!{1f7c4a8e-ee45-44c7-8872-dc5542133555}GC Documento Proposta.fields.{9edd3c74-2a43-4d35-a34a-f15156e24008}nome': null ), saveInto: { a!save(ri!documents, append(ri!documents, "")), a!save(ri!record, append(ri!record, save!value)), } ), rowHeader: 1, )

I am in need of creating a basic data entry interface where it is just one text box where the user can input and item number, hit tab, writes to a record , clears out and they are ready for the next item.  Looking for very minimal screen navigation. Thoughts?

I'm setting up an embedded interface using my local Appian installation as well as a local web application running on a local tomcat server. When accessing my web app I am prompted to log into my Appian account as expected but after providing credentials I get and error to enable cookies. I made sure my chrome settings were set to allow third-party cookies and tried again with the same error. Does anybody know what I need to configure to get past this error?

My user input task has multiple upload files fields and multiple fields. The user should be able to submit each file field without finishing the task. How should that be done if always after submission, the task just is done? By the way the submituploadedfile() is not available for tasks.

On an interface, I am setting the following validation using regular expressions. The format is [3-digit number] - [4-digit number]. Therefore, for example, if I enter a phone number like "080-0000-0000" here, a validation error will occur as shown below.Naturally, when I press the button, it doesn't submit and it stays on that page. However, a phenomenon occurred where nothing was submitted and the page changed.Since it cannot be reproduced, it is difficult to determine the cause.Do you know the cause? (Sorry for the screenshots written in Japanese.)

Hi All, Can you please help me how to get the intersection of  Lists of array (number array). So I have a list of  number array which I construct in the interface. I need to only pick the common element  present in all the number array . I tried with loop and reduce function but not getting the actual result . It has been achieved by taking an array element and loop over other other array and check if present in all array then keep it or remove it which I feel is very dirty way of doing .  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks  Manish

two different users with the same interface and with the same input values ...the output is showing different. what could be the reasons for this ? please help logic built- input type used  is date field - user will be able to select date and from that selected date onwards it will exclude public holidays and weekends and will return the date of  first 20 business days.  for most of the users the output is as expected BUT for some users it is showing wrong output.

Hi,I've two interfaces, On selecting one row (Read only grid) then dependent interface(Read only grid) is displaying data based on the selection of rows.The issue is when I'm selecting the grid rows one by one the total count is 27. but when I select all rows quickly then the dependent interface count is reduced to 16. here is the code snippet of dependent interface. a!gridField( data: local!calculatedMetricList, initialSorts: { a!sortInfo(field: "adherence", ascending: true) }, secondarySorts: { a!sortInfo( field: "employeeFullName", ascending: true ) }, pageSize: 20, borderStyle: "LIGHT", spacing: "DENSE", selectable: true, disableRowSelectionWhen: false, selectionValue: ri!selection, selectionStyle: "ROW_HIGHLIGHT", selectionSaveInto: { ri!selection, a!save(ri!selectedSupervisorRow, save!value), a!save( ri!selectedSupervisorHierarchy, if( length(fv!selectedRows) > 0, append(

List of task is represented from which I can deactivate particular required task  Before deactivating task, I need to check if that task is present as precedent task for any other task or that itself should not have any precedent taskcurrently after clicking on deactivate icon I am getting validation msg but its for all task, but i want it for only particular task that has been used as precedent taskI need to give show When condition to validation msg for that I need task name, but due to submit link used for deactivate icon all values saved are getting refreshedis it possible to retain that values and used to show validation msg

I have requirement to deactivate task with following requirements: 1. A list of Task is displayed and each task has Deactivate icon next to it 2. Clicking on Deactivate icon, check if task is used as precedent for other task 3. If that task is used as precedent task then deactivate action should not proceed and Validation msg should appear on UI 4. If task is not used as precedent task,  then task should be deactivated and update action is executed where record column isDeleted as marked as true 5. Currently for this Deactivate icon Submit link is used, which proceeds deactivation action on click    I am facing issue for showing up Validation msg in UI - with Submit Link/Button:  it executes the Deactivation action for non Precedent Task  but fails to show validation msg on UI(in Design interface validation msg is showing up) -with Dynamic Link: successfully shows the validation msg on UI if task is used as precedent task, but fails to deactivate task which is
