User Experience Design

Hi Folks, I am showing the data in a grid format in the dashboard page and the request id in that grid is a link which is navigating to the record summary page. I am providing record action in summary page for user to take some action which is being opened in a dialog box. Now when user submit the dialog box, the process running in the background and once completed, the user is coming in the summary dashboard. Now the client wants, when user submit that record action, instead of landing in the record summary page, then want to land into the dashboard page. Is it feasible? Regards, Ghanashyam

Hello All, We need to calculate number of hours between two date and time values. and this should not consider weekends. Thanks in advance

Good morning. We have a use case with a grid that has as data source a record and we need to select all the elements of the grid.The grid allows us to select all the elements at once, but only those on the first page.We also use user filters so that the data in the grid can be filtered by those user filters. We have created a button to select all the items in the grid at once using a query, but we cannot filter that query with the user filters in the record. Is there another solution to be able to select all the elements of a grid using a registry with user filters?Is there any way to access the internal query that appian makes when using those user filters to be able to use them in the query? Thank you very much.

We are facing slowness sometimes timeout error with UI. On Ui we are displaying 10 columns and one with record action icons also. Data type is record type and layout is read only gridlayout.Using logical expression to filter data and user filters.The record is queried at many places in application. Please suggest what can be possible issues because we are facing it frequently.

Hello,  I am having trouble getting validations to show up using a multiple dropdown component. When I pass in "Show Validation" for validations, nothing is shown on the component. When I do this for a dropdown component, it works as expected: My message is displayed with red text underneath the component. How can I show validations underneath the multiple dropdown component? Thank you, Nicholas

Hi Everyone, I'm currently working on a group of applications that represent different departments of the same company. We've  also implemented a Landing Page for unifying the access to a single link. The challenge I'm facing is a request to be able to return to the Landing Page from each department site. Since for each department we're using different Site objects, it's not possible to have a 'Home' on the top ribbon that allows to return to Landing Page. We can return to the interface but the other pages/page groups remain visible and the request is to have them hidden. Obviously we can create a custom link or button somewhere in the site to allow the users to return to landing page but I haven't found any good front end ideas to do this in an organic manner. By the way, the users don't prefer the icon that shows the different sites on the top right, they even requested it's removal but I don't think that's possible.  Thi

Hi, Users are getting following error after task completion on task page after submitting the task. This is happening intermitently. "403 Access Denied. You dont have permission to view this page." We are querying a task report and displaying Task list in an interface. User clicks on task link to get access to the task.  User accepts the task and submits the task. On Task submission, sometimes user gets this error. [Screenshot attached] No errors in stdout logs. Did anyone experienced this issue before ? If yes, whats the resolution. Thanks.

Hello everyone, we're facing a problem with the dropdown component used from Appian mobile, since it doesn't close the suggestions after pressing on the desired value but it requires the user to click back button. This UX is not very comfortable or intuitive for the end users. Any suggestions for alternative ways for handling such a use case (other than using a picker). I am aware of this older thread with the same problem: Appian Community  Thanks in advance.
