User Experience Design

I have PDF pages that are being created as part of an HTML template. Basically an indefinite amount of these attachment pages can be created depending how many filing numbers the user inputs for their filing. HTML from template node -> HTML to PDF node. This is all working fine.  The last page of filing numbers, if it's only a partial page, which usually is the case - the last page being just partial, is printing landscape. The print preview looks like all the other pages, but when the pages are printed, it prints out landscape. Anyone have any reason why this might be? Thanks

Appian month to text conversion  issue I am using this command month(today()) ---> it print current month  after this i am plan to convert this as a text format  like  text(month(today()),"MMM")  my output is something different  let me know the cause of this 

Due to the Appian upgrade there is a significant impact in DOM element of the webpages, most of the web elements and structure of the elements (of webpages) got changed. Due to which our selenium script is unable to locate the elements in a page anymore.Hence Automation Scripts are not working. Earlier we tried using Unique ID as a Identifier to locate elements  but due to restrictions from appian product we have to use xpath to identify element on UI.  After Appian upgrade,  plugins related to Appian also got updated and due to which Xpaths we have used in older versions are not working in new appian version. As Selenium is dependent on DOM elements for automation , hence its creating a huge impact. In order to make our script work, a significant amount of efforts are required. So How to minimize the effort and ensure that for Future appian upgrades our automation scripts doesnt fails?

Good day, I am new to Appian, I am trying to use the specific values in a return from a record query in a portal interface. I am using the interface for a customer data card using an expression, I now want to expand the information on the card to include bank branch information (name, address, etc) I have an expression that gets the branch information from a record type based on the branch Id and I am calling that into a local variable in the interface. My problem is that I do not know how to access specific parts of that local variable in order to display the data. I have tried a read only grid but get an error Could not display interface.

We have a requirement to modify the placeholder of a dateField component. However, we have not been able to modify it as the placeholder parameter of that component is not modifiable.Does anyone know of a way, another component or plugin that does the functionality of the dateField and the placeholder can be modified?This alternative must have the behavior similar to the dateField, that is to say, that when clicking on it opens a calendar where the user can choose the date. Thank you very much.

Good afternoon. We have a requirement to preview a PDF file. For that, we are using the documentViewerField component (green circle).Both the documentViewerField component and the other components displayed in the image are inside a cardLayout.However, there is a lot of space (blue box) because of the height occupied by the documentViewerField and we want to avoid that space, making the documentViewerField component occupy exactly the same height as the rest of the components, to avoid the large space that is displayed (blue box) and that the resulting space is only the space occupied by the yellow box. We want to display pdf files in thumbnail and at the same time we want the thumbnail to be adjustable to the box we have in yellow, to avoid that space (blue box). On the other hand, is it possible, somehow, to make that with some click we can have a thumbnail in a larger viewer and be able to download the document. Does anyone know any way to do this, or any component or plugin that fi

My company is looking for a interface for performing Inventory variances.  They are currently using a PHP program that lacks a some features they would like to have and are looking for us to migrate to an Appian based platform.   With the current PHP interface, they have a grid where they have the option to select 1 of 3 quantities or to type in a different qty all together.  My first thought was an editable grid, but with the number of lines which can exceed 1000.  I did start with an editable grid, but after a few lines, the performance slowed down drastically and by the end, was taking up to 1 min per line selection. I am just looking for some thoughts and ideas on which road to travel down to keep it simple for them to select the qty they want, but also not kill performance. I have included a snip it of the current PHP interface.

Hi, I have a form which has an edit button on it which is on the summary page and not added as a related action as per client's requirement. The form is working just fine will all the validations upon clicking on "Submit" button. But when opened a record from the record type and trying to click on "Submit", the form just goes forward without validating anything. Any suggestions would be helpful. a!buttonLayout( primaryButtons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Submit", submit: true, value: "submit", validate: true, style: "PRIMARY", saveInto: { local!submit, a!save({ local!edit, local!cancel }, null), }, ) } )

Why do buttonWidgets not have a linkField property? It would be ideal if they did.

Hi, I would like the button to be active by default if no date is selected or if a date equal to or after today is selected. And at the same time, the button is disabled if an invalid date or date older than today is entered. The problem is that I can&#39;t differentiate when the user enters a wrong date and when they leave the field empty. a!localVariables( local!dueDateAux, { a!dateField( label: "Due Date", value: ri!dueDate, saveInto: { ri!dueDate, a!save(local!dueDateAux, today()) }, validations: if( ri!dueDate >= today(), {}, "Incorrect date format or date before current date" ) ), a!buttonLayout( primaryButtons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Submit", disabled: ri!dueDate < today(), submit: true ) } ) } )
