I conducted a test where I copied a tab character from Notepad and pasted it into an Appian text field. Appian recognizes the tab character as a special character rather than treating it as empty spaces. How can I configure or validate this so that Appian treats tab characters as empty spaces? Any insight would be appreciated.

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.

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.

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?
