How can I populate the database with a single form on multiple dates field?Let's say I am creating a Vacation form and when an employee wants to apply for leave from 1st Jan till 5th Jan, they open the form select FROM and TO date, fill other form fields such as reason of leave, informed manager etc. Now when the employee hit submit I should see 5 entries on Database with 5 dates but the rest form details should be same.

Hi, I have a process model where I am using writeToDataStoreEntity smart service to save the data into a database. I am using an interface in the start node.  If I hit a submit button, system is flashing "Action Completed" message automatically. Whereas when I implement same functionality in the SaveInto and a!writeToDataStoreEntity , system is not returning any such message after hitting a "Submit" button even though data getting saved. Can someone advise me how to show such a message "Action Completed" after submit button clicked.

In the main interface we have a toggle icon, We the default value for this is null. When user clicked on that we are setting a local variable value as true. Below this toggle icon we have a link, When user clicked on that link it will initiate a process model using a!startprocesslink smart service. That process model has interface rule in the startform, when user perform some action on that screen and submit the form he will again land on the main interface rule. Now again this toggle value going back to the default value null. But, the requirement is to have that toggle value as true after user submit the form. Please suggest your thoughts on how to achieve this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have attached screenshots, please refer them for more information.

I was trying out this plugin called "Timer Component". It basically provides us with a stopwatch functionality. We can also stop it automatically at some given time interval. I just tried to create a functionality where this plugin can be used to refresh a variable automatically in custom time intervals ( also less than 30 sec). Is it a good way to do it? a!localVariables( local!total: 50, local!bool: false, local!refreshAfter: 5, { stopWatchField( /*label: "Stopwatch Timer",*/ labelPosition: "ABOVE", validations: {}, height: "AUTO", action: "START", size: null, align: null, expiredMessage: null, color: "#FFF", style: null, timerDirection: null, enableReverseTimer: null, reverseTimerColor: null, secondsValue: local!total, secondsSaveInto: { a!save( local!bool, not(local!bool) ), a!save( local!total, local!total-l

Hi, I would like to send error details to an email DL when there is an issue with process model functionality.

Hi, I have a big user interface form where I am using multiple controls. Now when I try to submit a form data by clicking "Submit" button it is taking few seconds to complete the submission and it between it is allowing use to click on different form elements and it is creating an issue.

Hi, I have text field in an interface and I need to trim the Leading and trailing spaces for the value if there any. So I have used trim() as in below code. I tested by giving some sample text with leading and trailing spaces, trim() has removed all the trailing and leading spaces in the interface. But when I checked the CDT to see how it stored, the spaces are still there and it is carrying forward the same value to next screens also. Can anyone please help me in resolving this.    a!textField( label: "Bundled Submission Description", labelPosition: "ADJACENT", value: trim(ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt), saveInto: ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt, required: true, validations: rule!RGRACSLBL_FN_getTextLengthValidationMessage( input_txt: index( ri!bundle, "submissionDesc_txt", {

Hello: I am trying to learn interfaces to create a single-page application.  I am using the Navigation (subsection) as the starting component (first image).  However, I would like to customize the interface so that when the cursor is hovering over an option, the text and background color changes.  As per the current configuration, the option (when a cursor is hovering) has a border but the text color is blue (option: Expenses in image one).  I would like to make it seem like the user-interface used in the Appian documentation page (second image).  Cursor is hovering on MODEL RECORD DATA.  I assume the collapsible feature is implemented using a!section.  Two questions: 1.  Is there an attribute or function that controls the color of the text/background when a cursor hovers?  2.  Is a!cardLayout (other than header/billboardlayout) the only component that provides ability to control the background - noticed that a!

We are searching with a text (example: "xyz pqr") and this input is passed to the integration to call API but API call fails because of the space in the input text/string.Expected outcome: want to encode the input like "xyz%20pqr".Note: Input may have any special characters including or other than spaces.

We are using a cardLayouts as a stack of buttons for actions the user must take before submitting the form.  The cardLayout has a label informing the user the type of action to perform and a status indicator to show the user visually whether the task is complete.  When you click the cardLayout, it displays a subpanel of information is displayed for the user to perform the needed task. Ultimately, we may have 7 – 10 of these cardLayouts stacked on the page.  This design allows users to see only what they want to see when they want to see it.  It also, helps them know when all steps are completed.  We feel that this is a very appealing UI design.   We are facing a challenge meeting WCAG requirements for this design.  Specifically, Criterion 4.1.2 which requires the following: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: For all user interface components (including but not limited to: form elements, links and components generated by scripts), the

Hi, We are having a editable grid where the columns are relation, soeid, geid, firstname, lastname. Relation is a dropdown field with the values {employee, contractor, client}. Soeid is a user picker field and the remaining columns are text fields. If user select employee or contractor in the dropdown and he should select soeid then the remaining columns will autopopulate related to the soeid. If user select client then the soeid and geid get disabled(grayed out) and he needs to fill all the other columns. My task is here 1. when the user first select employee and enter a soeid then the other columns will populate. 2. if the user select client again in the dropdown the soeid, geid, firstname, lastname which was already populated  should become blank. How to achieve the above functionality Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions around it: I have requirement where user want to edit a column in editable grid and that column should be pickerfield. I have a table to store existing data and pulling from it on grid. For picker data, i have a reference table that pulls all the populating data as needed. I am getting an error while i try to remove the existing column data and fetch new data. I tried different ways to define this but somehow ended up facing different issue for each attempt. ONE ATTEMP: Below code is one way of my attempts!! TWO ATTEMPT: This is working fine if I do something like below but is not appropriate for business use case:  local!existingdata:  Record type uuid: 5bf7f7cb-2b7c-430f-93b1-102a13b4f3af from error is the Record that pulls existing data.

Hello Community, We have a form that we modify to bring in all of our interfaces.  Most of them pull json from a REST api. This interface will need to GET and UPDATE methods from a SQL table and will trigger off of the process ID. Expression: takes 2 inputs: the current process id and a key that will allow me to pull specific data out of the json. My Question:  How do I pass the forms process ID into the expression?  Here is the start of my rule to pull in the interface into the form: rule!TEST_ReviewsList(rule!CORE_GetProcessDataByKey(wfProcessId: "47" , key: "comment")) Thanks,David

Note: local!items value is getting updated in interface while changing row value in grid.
