User Experience Design

Hi, I have a read-only grid and loading the data using a recordType. I am trying to implement "delete" functionality to delete each row of data/db record by having "Delete" in each row. I am trying to implement by using a Related Actions. But, when I click on "DELETE" it is opening a popup (DIALOG BOX) and closing automatically. Is there a way I can avoid popup window which is not useful in this scenario.  Thanks

I researched and checked theres known issues for a!update so I was hoping that someone may have solutions for this particular scenario.The output for the following code just returns a 4 instead of 4 Current a!update( remove( {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, remove( enumerate(0,1,2,3), 1 ) ), 1, ri!application.projectYears & " Current" )

Hi, I have a "DELETE" button in an interface where I have a readonly grid and the grid is loading the data using a RecordType. Now, when the user selects multiple rows of data, I am calling "deleteFromDataStoreEntitites" and passing required parameters and in the background data is getting deleted. But, the issue, the deleted row data is still showing in the readonly grid. Is there any way, I can do page reload or grid load to call after "Delete" button click.

Hi,  I want to upload multiple files to each item in an editable grid. I am using a link to add documents outside of the grid. When I submit the form for adding documents, I want to associate the documents with relevant item. I am using rule inputs of request _tems and request_item_documents CDTs. Because the requestitemId is null, I am not able to fetch the documents for the relevant request item.  How do I resolve this? Thanks in advance.  a!localVariables( local!hardwareClassList: rule!AMF_QR_getHardwareClassifications(), local!currentUser: loggedInUser(), local!selectedId, { a!gridLayout( label: "", labelPosition: "ABOVE", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "PDM Number", align: "CENTER"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Serial Number", align: "CENTER"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Part Description", align: "CENTER" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Revision",

Hi When I use a text field, by default it occupies the entire width of the page horizontally. But it looks bad in the interface. Is there a way other than wrapping it in a column / sidebyside layout to reduce the size of the text field ??

Hi! Thank you for your help!Context:I have 1 site in appian, it has 3 pages. 1 Landing page : Interface 2 Page 1 : Process Model With Sail Form 3 Page 2 : Process Model With Sail Form Problem: I need to hide from the pages bar, the pages 1 and 2 when the user is in the landing, and the other way, hide landing page when the user is in page 1 or 2.I´ve managed to implement this using a field in a database called : is_home.And checking the status with executestoredprocedure() from the database.So, the thing is, the bar does not refresh until i reload the page, pressing F5, or pressing in the Home Page icon again.This leads to an error everytime i press the button in the interface that should not be visible. Once in a while, the site refreshes and the bar does work properly. Same occurs with Dynamic Site>Pages Names.

How can we make the File upload component as dynamic ? I have a rule input which has the type has a record type , so i cant select the multiple array option it it. The document id should be stored in the DB and the files should be saved in a Target folder.

Do we have any Html decode function other than stripHtml? or any regex function to use ? Example of My current String which I get from Portal and it will be saved in DB as "I’m Appian resource.  Any other existing–resource?" If I use striphtml("I’m Appian resource.  Any other existing–resource?") I am getting same output -> "I’m Appian resource.  Any other existing–resource?" If I use reduce( fn!substitute, striphtml(ri!displayName), merge({ "’", "–" }, { "'", "-" }) ) Then I will get proper result -> "I'm Appian resource.  Any other existing-resource?" But I can't predict only 2 html entity names. There are many, that I need to convert and display in a!paragraph field.

Hi team, We are on Appian 22.4 cloud. We have two interfaces, both built using headerContentLayout. First UI has background color set as Dark Blue and is a landing page. It is also configured as a start form in a process model. Second interface has a background color set as a light blue. This interface loads when start form (interface 1) is submitted. And Interface 1 and Interface 2 are activity chained. Now when I submit the interface 1, the second interface carries the background color of interface 1. So, interface 2 shows Dark Blue as a background color instead of light blue. Is this an expected behavior? Thanks, Akshar

Hi, I have an interface with editable grid (a!gridLayout) where I am trying to add a new row with required elements when user clicks on "Add Dcoument". I have to achieve the below requirements. Not 100% sure whether it can be done or not. 1. If any one of the field / element filled with data, other fields/elements should be filled with.  2. Also, there should not be any row with empty empty fields/elements. When I try to write a validation in the Document Title field, then it is applying to all the rows of that field when I click on the "Add Document". Not sure how to handle for row by row.  required: if(a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!Documents.documenttype),true(),false())

In a form, Suppose I have 3 values in my dropdown- A,B,C.  I have chosen A and filled the remaining text boxes accordingly, but I want to change the dropdown value to B. On changing i want the remaining values of the boxes to be empty so I can fill them again. How can I achieve this?

Hi team, I been pondering and I would like to disable only the "direct approve" option upon conditions met. Is that possible? a!localVariables( local!choiceLabels: { approve, reject, direct approve, direct reject }, a!radioButtonField( label: "This application is recommended for", labelPosition: "ABOVE", choiceLabels: local!choiceLabels, choiceValues: local!choiceValues, value: ri!recommendedFor, saveInto: {}, disabled: since it allowed only true()/false()? )

Hi, Can we change the color of the card template tile from accent to some color of our choice ? 

Hi everyone Here's my scenario: I need to use a Group Browser object for the user to be able to select a group from a list . I can set the initial group as All Users, but that includes groups that may not be selected, such as Administrators. It would seem my easiest method would be to create another group which lists only the desired groups, but I've been told that nesting groups within groups is bad practice. Any thoughts?

Good day, I'd like to implement a search function in an interface, but I'm struggling to make it work. Once the user types in a search term and presses the search button, the appropriate results should return. The code :  a!localVariables( local!search: false, local!searchTerm, local!searchTitles: { "Amadori", "Telpark", "Microsystem", "Kone" }, local!searchData: a!dataSubset( data: rule!JT_CONS_CASE_STUDIES(), batchSize: - 1, startIndex: 2, sort: a!sortInfo(field: "title", ascending: true) ), local!searchField: index( local!searchTerm, wherecontains(local!searchTitles, local!searchData) ), { a!sectionLayout( label: "", contents: { rule!JT_uiCaseStudyDashboard(numberOfColumns: 3) }, showWhen: local!search, isCollapsible: true ), a!sideBySideLayout( items: { a!sideBySideItem( item: a!textField( labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", placeholder: "Search Use Cases", value: local!searchTerm, saveInto:

Hi, Can someone guide me on the requirement. I would like to know what type controls I can use to achieve this. 1. Display the data in a grid format with a link under Sno column data. 2. "ADD" button on top right. When the user clicks on that I need to show a separate screen with F. Name, L.Name, Address text fields and allow to click on "SAVE".

Hi All, We encountered a challenge with the Radio Button Component. Under certain condition it is loosing or 'forgetting' the selected radio button. We are using it to display the status in a workflow. Based on the users role and the status the entity is in, only certain options can be selected, so we are adjusting the choices. Below is a code example what we are doing. As you might see, if you select option 3, it stays only a split second on the UI and then the selection disappears. And yes - we alreadyhave submitted a support ticket to Appian, but it looks like the component will not be changed.  Any suggestions how to overcome this? We have our own ideas, but would like to see first what the community will contribute.(We will publish our version tomorrow). Thanks a!localVariables( local!selection:1, local!choices:a!refreshVariable( refreshAlways: true, value: if( local!selection = 3, {1,3}, {1,2,3} ) ), { a!radioButtonField(
