User Experience Design

Hello there! Here is my use-case: I have a large record type (80'000 rows), which users want to be able to filter and export to Excel. It works pretty good, but my platform admin is kind of obsessed by the health of the platform. He is afraid that many user export the whole set of data at the same time, putting the server CPU into heavy load. So it is required to limit the number of records a user can export. Did anyone ever have something similar to do? I know the limit is set to 100'000, but can we decrease the same in some Appian administration setting? I see no property in the gridField to do so, e.g. to set "showExportButton" to false if the size of the dataset exceeds a given value. Is there any? I think it would be possible to obtain something with something like a readOnlyGrid or so, but I would like to avoid it for the pain of handling filters (and pagination?). Please help!

issue in rich text display field 

Hello, I'm using a Styled Text Editor input so users can enter bulleted lists. I'd like to display the bulleted list in a summary view. I've tried combinations of Rich Text Display, Rich Text Bulleted List, and striphtml. I can get one bullet point above the list or a list without bullet points easily. The data is displayed in a bulleted list, in the email sent from the process model, perfectly.  How can I display the collected information in a summary view with the bullet points like the user entered? Thank you!

Hi, I would like to know how to create this type of Chart (with stacking) using a Data Type. It's really easy using records but I'm practicing using ctds and I can't figure out how to create this. My data type has two parameter, Category and Subcategory, and I want the chart to show for each category, how many subcategories of each are there. Hope the image is more clear than my explanation. Thanks.

Hi there,I have a scenario where there is a dropdown, whose value is getting saved in a local!var. Now, upon selection a specific option from the single select dropdown, depending upon the value, there is another child interface which is consuming the selected local value in its ri!var throuhg which the charts are being generated.Now, If we select the value, the chart is generated rendering from the child interface.If we deselect the selected value, the chart is not getting back to the original state.I.e, it is not being selectec on deselection of a value from the dropwdown. My goal is upon the deselection of the value, the chart should be back to its normal state, means the refresh case should be working.Any thoughts upon this?

Hi All, whether there is any option in Appian to vanish Pop up once  timer got completed instead of showing error for task not active anymore.

Hii, In my case i have to edit the multiple Dropdown field value: My value is Record type. Eg: [ "Product 1,Product 2"] Choice value  is Array. Eg: ["Product 1","Product 2","Product 3"] the value from my record type is like  :  "Product 1,Product 2". So, value is not matching with choice value. How to resolve this, I tried converting the value to list of text using split but still it is not working.

We have several Appian applications with records backed read-only grids which our business users can quickly search, filter, page through to access record instance data. One of the main gripes (over the years) with Appian is that while paging and taking an action on a record, the user has to page back through a series of data sets to arrive where the user initially started the action from. Honestly, it's a bit surprised a paging cache feature hasn't made into a default platform offering in Y2024 but would the Appian community be able to provide examples of how we can implement a "cached paging paradigm" to improve user experience. It's definitely a slight annoyance platform-wise but I'd prefer to hear your opinions and implementation thoughts on how best to improve a one-less-click experience.

I have a Record Type that has 2 Record List Actions.  Web Browser shows both entries and on a Mobile device only the first one displays.  I confirmed this on an iPhone. I also noticed that if you have more than one Record List Action it moves the actions below the filters. Are these expected behaviors? On a Web Browser: On an iPhone:
