Hi Team, I am facing issue while trying to append the data to rule input , I have editable gird with multiple components with add and remove option using same component i.e dynamic link, so I am trying to update/add some data based on the item getting added. Its working 1st time , if i change the plan, scenario they are like button to navigate. i try adding it to different plan its not appending  it. only 1st time added data is reflecting. localVariables( a!localVariables( local!customDataforNewPlan: { a!map( prcRequestId: 1, wmsRequestId: 101, annualfee: 1000, minimumfee: 0, sequence: 1, amount: 500, createdby: "user1", createdon: now(), updatedby: "user1", updatedon: now(), isactive: true() ), a!map( prcRequestId: 2, wmsRequestId: 102, annualfee: 2000, minimumfee: 0, sequence: 2, amount: 1000, createdby: "user2", createdon: now(), updatedby: "user

Hi all, May I please ask for some guidance here? I've got three record types: Consultant  Consultant Recipients  Consultant Emails To ensure data accuracy, I want to write all records records at the same. That way if the Consultant Certification write failed, there wouldn't be an entry in the Consultant Recipients  or Consultant Emails and vice-versa. Based on the following documentation is possible to do in one single Write Records Node: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/Write_Records_Smart_Service.html#_ But when I try this, I see the related data in the interface itself under the main Consultant record - but when I pass it in the PM the related data shows as null. Thank you so much!

Hi Community,I need some help with my requirement  like below shown in the image we have scenarios - 1,2 etc and each scenario have some plan associated and for different plans different services. It's connected in that way. In that for a particular services with example here billcode as sc112 i need to replace it with a link . Basically think services are shown in grid fetched from reference table which will have plan id , service id connected and created for request level. So in different plans same services can be available. As mentioned for a particular billcode service i have show fee details available based on plan id it can be fetched. After request submission when next task created that fee details should be editable. So this is my requirement .But i am not able to find a logic for that, diffrent plan can have different fee details so in each service grid associated with plan will have different fee details. Anyone can help me? How can I save them into table? My overa

Hi, I am trying to add a more less link on a column in a read only grid. However, it only works if the grid has indexed data and not if it is converted to json. Converting to json is also mandatory as the paging is not working if the grid rows are not converted to json(The data is coming from record type). I already tried the "a!fromjson" function on that specific column but the link is not working.  Is there a way that the more/less link can work even if I convert the grid to json?

Hi,  Does any have idea, how search will work in dropdown. I can see, there is only an option to show or hide a search box. I think it's a default behaviour. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't work. I'm posting one weird result from search.  Please let me know, if anyone had any idea. 

Hi Team, We have a requirement from the regarding a read-only grid. The grid is sorted first by Meeting Name, and then by Supplier Name. The client expects a visual indicator (like a bottom line or separator) between different suppliers to help users easily identify when the data switches from one supplier to another. For example, after all rows for Supplier A, there should be a highlighted row or separator before rows for Supplier B begin. Is this kind of visual separation possible in Appian grids? Meeting Name Supplier Name Data Meeting A Supplier A 23 Meeting A Supplier A 87       Meeting A Supplier B 56 Meeting A Supplier B 7 Meeting B Supplier A 45 Meeting B Supplier A 456       Meeting B Supplier B 56 Meeting B Supplier B 56

Can the Tempo interface header in Appian be customized dynamically based on the selected record view? Regards,Sanjukta

I am trying to have the information iterated through and displayed in each row but am having trouble.. Can you please advise? a!gridField_25r2( label: "Online Banking Profile Info", labelPosition: "ABOVE", data: rule!OOW_returnOBprofileDetails(CIF: ri!CIF), columns: { a!gridColumn( label: "Account Username", value: fv!row.userId ), a!gridColumn( label: "Account Nickname", value: rule!OOW_returnProfileNicknames(CIF: ri!CIF) ), a!gridColumn( label: "Last Log In", value: a!forEach( fv!row, rule!OOW_returnUserProfileLastLogIn(CIF: fv!row.customerCif) ) ), }, pageSize: 5, b

my rule input is an array of data, using a map data type to pull in multiple records from the Software and related Software Category record types: mappedValue (1 item)List of Map[[decision:false,software:[SAL Software id=29, name= sint veniam magna, vendorName= commodo amet proident, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=7, name=Custom Applications, description=software developed in-house to fulfil specific purposes]]; [SAL Software id=30, name=elit dolor nostrud, vendorName=dolor pariatur nulla, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=6, name=Component, description=required for other software to run]]; [SAL Software id=31, name=Adobe Acrobat, vendorName=Microsoft, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=10, name=Paul Test Category, description=Paul Test Category]]; [SAL Software id=32, name=Microsoft CRM, vendorName=Microsoft, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=7, name=Custom Applications, description=software developed in-house to fulfil specific purposes]]; [SAL S

Hello Appian fellows, I would like to explore the possibility of validating data across different tabs. Request is to display multiple tabs, every one of which should open a dedicated subtab group. Let's say I opened the second tab and am currently viewing the first subtab (see image below) . [View:https://ibb.co/PNLMTFY:320:50] My question is, is it possible to validate fields on different subtabs in a way that subtype 2 and subtype 4 have a red underline/red background/red star or any other indicator that there are some required data missing on those subtabs and process cannot continue (Next button would be disabled). Idea is that users don't need to circle through tabs searching for where the missing values are. Thanks!

Hi all, I have created an interface from which I can click on a field and access the detail view of the record type used in the interface. From this detail page I have created buttons to perform certain operations from process model, passing the data of the selected row of the record to the process. I would like to do the exact same operations but from the home page, without having to access the detail page, as in the attached screenshot. Maybe even including some related actions. is it possible to do this, and if so, how? I thank everyone in advance

Hi everyone, We have a UI requirement involving a read-only data grid. The grid displays values such as student names. When a user hovers over a grid cell, we want to show a clickable tooltip containing a list of related items. Each item in the tooltip should be clickable, and clicking on it should open a dialog box with detailed information. Example Scenario: The grid displays student names. On hovering over a student name, a tooltip appears showing a list of mark sheets by year. Clicking on a specific year opens a dialog box displaying that year's mark sheet. Looking for suggestions or best practices on how to implement this kind of interactive tooltip behavior. Has anyone tackled something similar or used a library/component that supports this? Something like: But the marksheet should be a Dialog Box that is associated with a record action. Thanks in advance!

Appian is evaluating validation before I submit, even though the parameter is set. a!validationMessage( message: "Field is Required", validateAfter: "SUBMIT", showWhen: a!isNullOrEmpty( rule!_process_CurrencySanitizer(a!defaultValue(ri!value, null)) ) ) Why is Appian behaving like that? It should be expecting my submit.

I'm working on a custom currency input field component and facing a challenging issue with decimal value conversion and rounding when values exceed 10,000 (5+ digits). Here's my current implementation: a!localVariables( a!textField( label: ri!label, labelPosition: a!defaultValue(ri!labelPosition, "ABOVE"), value: a!currency( isoCode: a!defaultValue(ri!isoCode, "BRL"), value: rule!process_BRLInputSanitizer( value: ri!value, toDecimal: true, showSeparators: false ), decimalPlaces: 2, showSeparators: true ), placeholder: ri!placeholder, saveInto: a!localVariables( { a!save( ri!value, a!currency( isoCode: a!defaultValue(ri!isoCode, "BRL"), value: rule!process_BRLInputSanitizer( value: save!value, toDecimal: true, showSeparators: false ), decimalPlaces: 2, showSeparator

HI guys I'm chasing my tail here. We are assessing software against 4 criteria per software title. For each criterion we have a different assessor group. The software titles are kept in a list of map since they are not yet approved for our Allow List and we don't want to keep the data if they are not approved. We have a custom comments record type which has a many-to-one relationship with the software table. Issue: For each software title we need to keep 4 comments, but I find I am only able to overwrite the comments value, not append.Here's the code for my approval details interface:a!localVariables( local!softwareCategoryList: rule!getSoftwareCategoryList( includeDisabled: false, includedSoftwareCategoryID: if( a!isNullOrEmpty( ri!mappedValue.software[Global Software.fields.id'] ), null, ri!mappedValue.software['recordType!Global Software.fields.softwareCategoryID'] ) ), a!gridLayout( label: "Approve Software", lab

Good day everyone, I am making use of a coulpe a!pickerFieldRecords(), but in one instance it displays the corrcet values and in the other it doesn't. Please see the screenshots I've uplaoded illustrating what's being returned for both instances. Also see the code for both instances. # Values are displaying incorrectly - a!pickerFieldRecords( label: "Property Type", labelPosition: local!labelPosition, placeholder: "Search for the property type", maxSelections: 1, recordType: 'recordType!{7068b0aa-dd81-434e-a6a2-049c4ebc1894}AH Property Type', value: ri!record['recordType!{b4e98f0d-2927-4efc-87fb-bc265c91339e}AH Risk Location.fields.{7b7cc88a-959d-4ca2-b6df-dd684e8df4cf}property_type_id'], saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{b4e98f0d-2927-4efc-87fb-bc265c91339e}AH Risk Location.fields.{7b7cc88a-959d-4ca2-b6df-dd684e8df4cf}property_type_id'], required: true, marginAbove: "LESS", showRecordLinks: false ), # Values are displaying cor

I want to create a custom UI where all my actions are displayed as styled buttons using a!buttonWidget, but still open the native record action dialog (start form, etc.) the way a!recordActionField does. Currently, a!recordActionField works fine for triggering the action and opening the dialog, but it doesn’t give me the same level of styling flexibility as a!buttonWidget. I tried using a!startProcess() inside the saveInto of a button, but that just runs the process silently without opening the dialog. Is there any way to call a record action directly from a button widget (and open its dialog), or is a!recordActionField the only supported method?

Hello everyone, I would like to implement a notification bell on an interface, that would show me notifications, similar to the facebook one attached, where if I click on it I see notification messages.I found a link to the post docs.appian.com/.../ux_messages_comments.html but it doesn't suit for my case: I don't want to take up additional space in my interface, nor is it nice in terms of user experience. Thank you very much in advance

I have a requirement where users upload a CSV file, and I need to validate whether the column headers match a predefined template before parsing it into a CDT. Is there a way in Appian to check headers during file upload, preferably before running readcsvlogtoCDT()?

I am creating this post so that if anyone else runs into the below Error on an Interface, when they try to search for it on Google, they will see this & be able to fix it easily. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error in rule 'applylocalvartestexpression': local!dollarConversion uses a refresh configuration that is not supported in looping functions other than a!forEach(). All other looping functions do not support variables that use the default behavior or configurations other than "refreshAlways". Change the variables refresh configurations using a!refreshVariable(), pass the necessary variables via rule inputs, or use a!forEach() instead. Root Cause: It is generally recommended to replace load()/with() => a!localVariables(), but when this update is made in an Expression Rule and there is an interface (or interface-dependent Expression Rule) referencing it with an apply(), this will break the interface. This is because "a!localVariables does n

There are multiple objects in Appian that help us developers to design and build dynamic, fresh, and good-looking interfaces. Sometimes, however, we find the existing components restrictive, preventing us from fully customizing them and building around a specific interface look. This thread, in particular, is about the component BoxLayout, which, after some discussion with our team, has shown a lot of potential to upgrade both functionally and aesthetically. As shown in the screenshot, we have come up with the idea of adding new parameters to the existing component that we think will allow more detail-focused developers to have full access to the colors and style of the component. Also, we think it would be interesting to have full control over the margins that affect the component, in order to build around it more easily. Thanks in advance. Fran.

I’m building an interface where the user is asked: "Do you want to use your previous data?" If the user selects Yes and clicks the Continue button, I want the following flow: Show a loading GIF screen immediately). In the background, fetch the user's previous data using a rule and save it to a local variable. Once the data is available, automatically transition to a new screen that displays this data. Problem:If I try to show the GIF and fetch the data in the same saveInto (e.g. within the button click), the interface waits for the data fetch to complete before updating the UI. As a result, the loading GIF doesn't appear immediately — it only flashes briefly or doesn't show at all. I am sure we can easily manage it at process model end. but trying to see if anyone has done it at interface level which i can reuse.
