User Experience Design

Is there a way to display the user input in different color instead of black inside the editable textField or paragraph while typing?

Any thoughts on how we can handle this problem?Did anyone else faced similar issue and how did you handled it? Many times recently we have cases that get "stuck" are doing so because someone processes on them twice. There's three flavors of this: The same user opens the case on two different tabs/windows. They process the case on one and a few hours later process the case again because they found the second tab Two users open the case. User 1 processes and completes. User 2 then does the same a few minutes later [only seen twice] Two users hit get work within milliseconds of each other and got the same work object We're less concerned with option 3 because we've only seen it once. Options 1 and 2, though, are painful.  Could  we change those process models to prevent this issue: We want to include clear messaging to the user when they try and process the second time. Consider performance too.

I have created a local variable that will fetch all the tasks from a process report. When there is a change in  the task,i.e. i have accepted or assigned or completed the task, or added a new task, it should automatically refresh the grid and show the change in it. How to do this process?

Hi Folks, Is there a way to show the value in a dropdown in italics? Regards, Ghanashyam

HelloI have a section that is collapsible but the label has to change based on the state of the section - any suggestions on how I can implement it using Appian's built-in features. I can do it using richTextField but then I can't seem to emulate the slow animation that Appian's default code does. So, two questions: Is there a way to change labels based on the state or Is there a way to emulate the slow animation of the arrow if I create the section label using richTextField.a!sectionLayout( if (sectionIsCollapsed, label:"Show Details", label: "Hide Details") is it possible to code the slow animation of the arrow as Appian does here?label:"Show Details", logic to change text to display based on the state of the section  Thank you for your assistance M a!localVariables( local!isExpanded: false(), a!sectionLayout( label: "Outer Section", isCollapsible: true, contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( value: {

Hi, I have an interface with a read-only grid. I am loading the data into read-only grid using RECORD TYPE and also I have used selectable, selectionValue, selectionSaveInto properties.

Hello: I am trying to create an interface - similar to the Maintenance Request example in Appian but I would like to add a "Select" checkbox that is (vertically) aligned in the center with the text (in this case, 2019 Lexus E350).  Also, is there a way to include a check box without providing an option name since I would like the "Select Product" to be the column header.  I am creating a set of card layouts using a 'forEach() function.

I want to implement this milestone pattern, but with a slight twist. i.e. I want to add names to those milestones. Such that below each stampfield I display the name (like below airplane icon I display a rich text saying airplane).  1 implementation would be to use a rich text display and display only 1 text at a time. But my use case is different. I need to display text below each stampfield may it be complete / not.  I tried using a sideBySideLayout below the sideBySideLayout of stampfield, but then the allignment is getting messed up badly.  Can anyone help me with this. How do I achieve this ?

Hi, I'm using the WebField element to display videos uploaded to Appian. This works, but there's a problem: it's impossible to move from one point of the video to the other. In other words, clicking on the progress bar of the video does absolutely nothing. Tried using the Advanced Video Player, and the same problem occurs. While testing the example of the documentation, this functionality works, so I don't know if there's something I'm not getting right. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/Video_Component.html Maybe this functionality doesn't exist when the videos are from within Appian? My code is: a!videoField( label: "Vídeo", labelPosition: "ABOVE", videos: { a!webVideo( source: document(ri!document, "url") ) } )
