User Experience Design

Hi team, We are experiencing a minor issue with a generic interface that contains standard action buttons (Cancel, OK). This interface is called from two different Record Views: Record Summary 1 and Record Summary 2. Each summary has its own main interface which, in turn, calls our generic component. The Issue: Record Summary 1: Clicking the buttons works as expected. Record Summary 2: Clicking the buttons triggers an unexpected scroll to the top of the page. Observations: Interface Designer: When testing directly within the Summary interfaces, everything works correctly. Environment: The issue only occurs when accessing the views via a Record Link within a Site. Data Source Difference: There is one key difference between the Record Types: The working Record (Summary 1) points directly to a database table. The failing Record (Summary 2) points to a Data Store Entity (DSE). Can anyone helps? 

Hello. I have a read-only grid that displays permissions data using a!recordData() as the data source. Currently, I can only capture the record IDs when users manually select rows in the grid using the selectionSaveInto parameter. My Goal:I want to automatically save all the record IDs returned by the a!recordData() query without requiring user selection and without using a!queryRecordType() in a separate expression or local variable. Current Implementation: a!gridField( label: "Permissions to Transfer:", instructions: "A temporary access group will be created to grant the selected permissions from the source employee to the destination employee.", helpTooltip: "Permissions that would generate risk combination or already belong to the Destination Employee have been hidden", labelPosition: "ABOVE", data: a!recordData( recordType: 'recordType!{57571bf8-20a7-4874-ac82-7f586277be58}GDA Permissao Acesso', filters

Hello,  I am currently working with a record which is being used in 2 different websites on the same environment. These 2 websites have a different look and feel, and some record informations should only be displayed on one of the website, but not on the other one. Is there a way to keep using the same record on these 2 websites, but have the summary interface dynamically change depending on the website it is accessed from ? For instance, if we access the record from website A, some cards are hidden, whereas if we access the same record from website B, the same cards are showing. So far I haven't been able to find a way to "detect" the active website from my interface, and I am not sure this is possible. Thanks

I am loading data from an Excel sheet into an Editable Grid. I added Edit and Delete buttons for each row, but the actions are not functioning as expected. Could someone guide me on how to fix this or share the correct approach? Ia!localVariables( local!data: 309474, local!sheetCount: getnumberofsheets(document: local!data), local!sheetIndexes: enumerate(local!sheetCount), local!activeTab: 1, local!readOnly: tointeger({}), local!sheets: a!forEach( items: local!sheetIndexes, expression: a!localVariables( local!sheetNumber: fv!item, local!excelOutput: readexcelsheetpaging( excelDocument: local!data, sheetNumber: local!sheetNumber, pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 1000) ), local!rows: index(local!excelOutput, "data", {}), local!totalRow: tointeger( index(local!excelOutput, "totalCount", 0) ), local!rowHeaderRaw: index(index(local!rows, 1, {}), "values", {}), local!headers:

Current Situation:We have two applications hosted on Appian and have configured session timeout settings. When there was only one application, after the session timeout, a popup appeared, and upon resuming, we were redirected back to that application’s page.Now that we have two applications with the same timeout configuration in the Admin Console, the behavior has changed. After the session timeout message appears and we resume the second application’s UI, the system redirects us to the first application’s interface instead. Question:Why is this happening, and what can we do to ensure that after refreshing post-timeout, the user is redirected back to the second application’s UI?

I need guidance on designing an Appian dashboard that displays a live, interactive map showing pins for all active parking locations. Each parking location has latitude and longitude, but these coordinates should come from user input by clicking on the map through a create form in Appian. What is the best approach in Appian to embed an interactive map that supports both: Displaying existing pins from stored data. Capturing new coordinates when a user clicks on the map? Please anyone Assist me.

In our Appian Site, we have a DummyHomePage interface that contains two sub-interfaces: DummyCustomFilter – used to select filter values DummyEditableGrid – displays the filtered data in a grid When a user selects filter values and clicks the action link in the grid, we navigate to the Record Summary View for the selected solutionId using a!recordLink() or urlForRecord().In the Summary View, we have a Back button that should return to the DummyHomePage while keeping the previously selected filter values.

We are using a!safelink to provide provision to download a file using presigned URL. The requirement is we need to store which user clicked on the link and when in audit table, but as in the safelink there are no saveinto parameter . I tried multiple other ways but all in vain. I am unable to find a solution, where on a single click user able to navigate using presigned url as well as in backed it writes to audit.  please advise what to do that in this case and any work around we can do to achieve the requirement. Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding how Appian handles task URLs and their accessibility across different applications and sites. I've noticed that a task in Appian can be opened regardless of which application, site, or page you're currently viewing. For example, the same task ID can be accessed through multiple different URL patterns: https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-1/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-2/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-3/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> Let's suppose <some-id>=GgE4eQDCj1OX711111 All of these URLs successfully open the same task, even though they reference different applications and pages in the path. My questions are: Why does Appian allow tasks to be accessible from any site/application URL path? Is this the expected behav

I have an interface where I select numbers using a multi select dropdown .  When I select it is in the sorted order  In the next confirmation screen , I show these values in an array as a read only paragraph , it is not maintaining the sorred order ( shown below )    a!paragraphField( label: "Item #", labelPosition: "ABOVE", instructions: "", value: a!forEach( items: toString(local!selectedItems), expression: substitute(fv!item, ";", ",") ), saveInto: local!selectedItems, readonly: true ), I am displaying the paragraph as shown above , Is there anyway to display the local!selected items as sorted ?

Hello everyone! Good morning! I’m facing a challenge with a form that contains several tabs, each with the same fields, but filled with different data. The issue is that, when the user clicks the Submit button, Appian only validates the required fields in the active tab. This impacts our business logic because we need to ensure that all required fields in all tabs are completed before submission. Goal: Validate all required fields, regardless of which tab is active, when the user clicks Submit. Question: Has anyone encountered a similar situation or have any suggestions on how we can achieve this? I’ll attach an image showing part of the form for additional context.Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, There was a requirement from the user to generate a report (DOC format) using existing data from our records. To fulfill this, we generated HTML code using Appian expression rules. The output of the rule is HTML, which we then passed to the Docs from HTML and CSS smart service. The HTML we are generating includes the following code snippet to set the page orientation to landscape: @page { size: A3 landscape; margin: 20mm; } table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; } I would like to know whether the plugin we are using is capable of taking page instructions or not.

Hi everyone, I have an interface built using a PanelLayout. The left panel contains a sidebar with several navigation links. The right panel displays the selected content (different interfaces). The issue I'm facing is that when I open a page from the sidebar, everything works fine — the new content loads on the right and the sidebar stays visible. However, inside that loaded interface, I have more links (for example, to open details or other sections). When I click one of those links, the page reloads completely and the sidebar disappears. What I want is for those inner links to update the right panel within the same page, keeping the sidebar fixed and visible at all times. Is there a way to handle this navigation within the same interface (e.g. using local variables and conditional visibility), or any best practice for managing nested navigation inside a PanelLayout? Thanks in advance!
