User Experience Design

I have a situation where in grid row layout, in a single column I need to have a text field and rich text display fields below the text field. See reference as below.Is it even possible?Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, Im using an User Input Task with a!fileUploadField. What I need is to verify that the Excel uploaded does not contain mor than 500 rows so the user cannot submit the form. But as the file is temporary I cannot access to its information, and I alreay saw that it is not possible using a!submitUploadedFiles function. Any ideas for solving this? Thank you!

My specific requirements are: Compare content from two separate Google Docs Identify and highlight differences. Display the comparison results within an Appian interface

I'm running through the spaceX integration demo as practice, and when the step got to the end and I'm supposed to upload an image to the billboard layout, but it didn't render. The document is jpg file, and it does end up rendering in the a!imageField (only when it's set to size = FIT) as you can see in the corner there. I can get other jpgs to render, but not this one. I'm wondering if it might be because it's too big (size = 20.12kb) or because it downloaded as a web file and I had to manually change extension to jpg (but it loads fine in the file preview when I click on the doc). Anyone know why it might not be rendering? Thank you!

I'm having some issues understanding how to use indexes into a forEach taking the items from a expression rule. I'll explain my problem a little bit deeper; I'm trying to get some of the properties from the RecordType "Anomalie", i would like to use the expression rule with get me all of the anomalies linked to a specific pension by the pensionid, and get the description, the name, the action related to it. But i'm having trubles indexing these properties once I call the expression rule. When I try to use fv!item.description into the description rich text field it seems like it doesn't recognize the object as a record type.  I pasted the code snippet for the forEach i have in the interface, does anyone had some similar issues and may give me suggestions on what to try to make it work? Thank you so much!! (my finished product should be a card for each anomaly found linked to the record Beneficiary, each with their description, name and related action)

Hello Everyone, In my record view interface, I have a child interface that contains a related action. I recently added another related action whose only purpose is to refresh the data. In the parent interface, I’m using a!refreshVariable() so that local variables are refreshed after a record action completes. The related action in the child interface has visibility logic defined both: in the record type (Views and Actions → action security/visibility), andinside the child interface itself.When I click my refresh-related action, all the data and components in the interface are refreshed, but the visibility condition defined in Views and Actions is not re-evaluated. As a result, when I refresh to load the latest data, the related action does not appear on the screen unless I do a full browser refresh. i tried to have a start form in my related action's process model even at that time screen was not refreshed. Pretty much tried everything still record level security was not

Consider blue path only! I used activity chain to start "Choose policy" interface immediately after the main interface. The process is started by a startProcess inside a saveinto of a buttonWidget. After clicking the button the process starts, but the interface isn't automatically loaded. The owner of the task is set as pp!initiator. What could I miss?

We are encountering the following error in our Appian application: ERROR com.appiancorp.record.service.visitor.DiscoverAllRecordBindings - Exception encountered in grid field tree visitor, falling back in try catch.java.lang.NullPointerException This issue appears while working with a grid component (record-based or interface grid). There are no obvious breaking changes, but the error is being logged intermittently. We suspect it may be related to: Null values in grid field bindings Record type relationships Nested field references in grid columns However, we are unable to pinpoint the exact cause. What typically causes this DiscoverAllRecordBindings NullPointerException? Are there recommended best practices to avoid this issue in grid configurations? How can we effectively debug which field or binding is causing the problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Everyone, I’m using a Styled Text Editor for my comment thread component. If the character count exceeds 500 characters, I need to trim the text and display a "Show more" link outside the Styled Text Editor. The problem I’m facing is that the Styled Text Editor stores values with HTML tags, so when I trim the content directly, it can cut through tags and break the markup. This results in invalid HTML and rendering issues. Has anyone implemented an approach to safely truncate HTML without breaking tags? Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated.

We have a dynamic array containing lists of data. Dynamic here meaning data1, data2..etc could be any length. We need a screen that allows users to reorder this data and we are attempting to do this with a gridLayout with allowRowReordering = true. When attempting this example below, we are seeing the error Expression evaluation error at function a!gridLayout [line 15]: A grid layout component [label="data1"] has an invalid value for "rowOrderData". The value must be a list of records, a list of maps, or a list of dictionaries. a!localVariables( local!map: { "data1", "data2" }, local!data: { data1: { { sortOrder: 1, label: "A" }, { sortOrder: 2, label: "B" } }, data2: { { sortOrder: 1, label: "C" }, { sortOrder: 2, label: "D" } } }, a!forEach( items: local!map, expression: a!gridLayout( label: fv!item, headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Checklist Sections") }, rows: a!

Hi everyone, I’m working on an interface where the user needs to upload an Excel file with the .xlsx extension. My goal is to validate the file extension directly in the interface, before enabling the "ACCEPT" button. In my current setup, I’m using the disabled parameter of the a!buttonWidget() to check two things: That the variable local!excel is not null or empty. That the uploaded file name (converted to string) contains the .xlsx extension, which I have defined in a constant (cons!CEDT_CONS_EXTENSIONES_DOCUMENTOS). When I use touniformstring(local!excel), it only returns the file ID (a numeric value), not the original file name. Because of that, I can’t compare it with the extension constant to validate the file type. Here I’m attaching a demonstration of the interface when I upload a file that is not an Excel type.  Is there any way to retrieve the original file name (or its extension) from the uploaded file in the interface, so I

Hi Appian Community! I have a requirement where in the column chart below, I need to show a breakdown of the data for each bar of all the series based on the date. I had to manipulate the dataset so using a record type was not possible. Now I have my data structured where  x-axis is dates, and y-axis is the percentage of each area of the office's seat booking. How do I show within each bar, a breakdown of say half is booking type A and the other half is booking type B?

Hi Appian Community, I'm working on a PickerField component that needs to display data from a large dataset (~15,000 rows). Here are my requirements: Requirements: Display a PickerField with approximately 15,000 rows of data Implement a search functionality that only triggers after the user enters 3 or more characters Load the data using a Record Type as the data source Optimize performance to handle the large dataset efficiently Current Challenge: I want to avoid loading all 15,000 rows upfront for performance reasons. Instead, I'd like the search to execute only when

There is an Interface C which has parent as B and B has parent as A. Now I am passing via rule input from C it is working in B but not in A. The value gets refreshed at A interface automatically. FYI the rule input data types are same for all 3 interfaces A, B and C.

Hi Everyone,I want to add new value using custom picker field .Let's say , I have picker field name country and its having all country but not "XYZ".So how can we add it?

We are using Appian DocCenter for document extractions, mainly pdfs. Sometimes for few pdfs preview is not appearing. But data is getting extracted fine. Did anyone faced this issue.

The Dynamic Letter Generation module uses multiple styletexteditors where users can select which sections should appear in the generated letter. There are no formatting issues in the final generated letter. However, in the preview section, there is a numbering issue where an extra number appears even though there are no additional <li> elements present.Please find the screenshot of the code below,

Hi All, i have floatingpoint field in my UI, i want to restrict user from typing values upto 2 decimal point and Below is my expected results If the user enters 12, it will be rounded off to 12.00 If the user enters 12.1, it will be rounded off to 12.10 If the user tries to enter 12.678, it will not be allowed. The entry will be cut off at 12.67 but what is the issue am facing is its allowing me to enter more values after decimal point and also if i give round values it's not taking .00 value.below is my code a!floatingPointField( label: "Dental Premium (Annual)", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: ri!intakePreminumDetails['recordType!{4d82eb7f-ba46-46a2-a7dc-969f4ffcf344}GSE_SCL Intake Premium Details.fields.{cef89c65-a133-4766-bbb5-93cbcceddcab}dentalPremium'], saveInto: { a!save(ri!intakePreminumDetails['recordType!{4d82eb7f-ba46-46a2-a7dc-969f4ffcf344}GSE_SCL Intake Premium Details.fields.{cef89c65-a133-4766-bbb5-93cbcceddcab}dentalPremium'], if(a!isNotNullOr

I have a record picker component in my form which show records of another application, and i have a record type filed relatedrequest in my application record type so when i select and save into relatedrequest field of my application request filed for multiple values it's showing not available, is it not possible to save multiple values . The fields is type of text and length of 4000 . I tried with integer field that time it only takes one value. Why it's happening even though the component have multiselect options we can't save it. 

I have a requirement where I'm having 5 dropdowns, based on the values (Multiple Selection) in first dropdown, the remaining dropdown values need get auto filtered out (Cascading Dropdowns). Is it possible to achieve? The one way of implementing is after multiple selections in first dropdown we need to keep a button and on click of button we can pass to next dropdowns. But without having button is it possible to achieve.

Hi team, I have a question regarding accessibility and semantic markup compliance. In several interfaces, users can enter information or interact with components such as radio buttons and dropdowns. For accessibility reasons, these interactive elements are required to be contained within a <form> element. Is there a way to achieve this without using a Form Layout?Currently, the top-level structure of the interface is built using a Header Layout, and I’d prefer not to refactor the entire layout if possible. Has anyone encountered a similar requirement or found a clean approach to handling this? Thanks in advance.

It should be in est . Can anyone help me with this 

I have been checking if there is way to have versioning display the JIRA numbers we work on. Currently versions help compare with previous version and inside interfaces we have to make comments with JIRA ticket numbers to understand why we did a specific piece of code. But if its possible to have the JIRA numbers displayed on each version wouldnt it be great to have only one final version of each change and delete all the previous ones like Save Final Version with JIRA number may be add comments to each version. Will it take up a lot of memory at Appian end? Currently we have only packages with JIRA ticket numbers and to find why we did some change for a specific line we need to add comments everywhere adding up the lines in Dev block. This way if we need to find for a particular ticket what changes we did would be easier. because sometimes making a start end block with JIRA numbers for small changes in same conditional block or same piece of code kills the code view.
