User Experience Design

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.

Hi, We have a code where a view data we are showing in a grid and user have to download the report but while downloading user is getting following error: In the code we are using a user filter on a varchar field because of which there is data issue.

Hi Team, I want to make three axis graphs in Appian, so is it feasible in Appian? 

I have a requirement I have datetime component user can select the time maximum 2 hours from their current time else there should be validation error , i want to show the current time defaulted in the time field and they should select the time upto 2 hours . 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.

Hi, I have several editable grids in my interface with an add row link. When I'm testing the interface in the rule editor, the link works just fine for all grids, but when I try to create a new record using the record list action, clicking the link does not do anything.  The grids are implemented as follows: a!gridLayout( label: "Wachstumstreiber und Schlüsselerfolgsfaktoren", labelPosition: "ABOVE", emptyGridMessage: "Keine Wachstumstreiber angegeben", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Wachstumstreiber"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Schlüsselerfolgsfaktoren"), if( local!readOnly, {}, { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "") } ) }, columnConfigs: { a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(weight: 1), a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(weight: 1), if( local!readOnly, {}, { a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width: "ICON") } ) }, rows: a!forEach( items: ri!konzeptRecord['recordType!{e6823cb0-0826-4ba1-a489-d1b628fb0037}PEP Ko

Hi team! I have the following issue. When using a test environment, any read-only grids are stuck with the loading data animation, which only occurs until I perform an action such as resizing the screen, at which point the data finally renders on the grid. That behaviour only happens in the test environment; on dev, the information renders when the page loads. Has anyone faced a similar behaviour/issue? Thanks!

Is there any feasability to print the value of a local variable in the runtime & the value it has in the console.  (Like other programming languages for debugging)

we have a collapsable grid whose individual cells contain dynamic links. Assume this grid takes up the entirety of screen. Upon clicking the dynamic link 3 variables are saved (local!showTransactions, local!accountEntityCode, and local!transactionAccPer).   Another interface loads below the grid when local!showTransactions = True.    However upon clicking the dynamic link value, there is no indication of this newly rendered interface. The current grid takes up the entire screen. We need some way to notify the user of the new interface rendered below. Ideally, when the user clicks on the hyperlink, it will jump to the section what was loaded below.    What we want to avoid using: recordLinks and startProcessLinks cause major slowdowns compared to dynamicLinks when generating the linked values of the collapsable grid. Dynamic Links are preffered.  Any recommendations?
