User Experience Design

Hello All, We are using a!safelink to navigate the user to other system. The requirement is we want to store that which user clicked on the link and when in audit table, but as in the safelink there are no saveinto parameter so not able to do that. Can you please advise what to do that in this case and any work around we can do to achieve the requirement. Thank you in advance

Hi, We have a simple interface wich contains a refresh button that triggers a a!startProcess() function (to update some fields in Db and then update fields in the GUI).  The interface is displayed from a RecordType view. The process gets some data and then write simply the current datetime into an updated_on field in the table.  The problem we met is when we click on the button, the data are not refreshed (or works just the first time).  When we debug the variables in the interface we can see that the data are still the Old ones despite the fact the data are correct in the Db table.  If we click again and again, the data are never refreshed.  I've tried a lot of things :- add a counter in the interface to ensure the save is called when the process ended - all the process nodes are well chained.  - I've deleted a lot of nodes in the process so that now it contains only 5 nodes (to be sure, to avoid the 50 nodes issues).

Hello community I am trying to recreate this screenshot from another application  .

Hi everyone, I have a line chart showing the number of cases created/ closed within the day, and I want the color scheme of the trend lines and legends consistent, which are: Case Closed: Blue, Case Created: Green I have a filter list for case type, and this is where I found the inconsistent issue. For example: If I choose case type = 1, the color theme is consistent with above setting (Closed: Blue, Created: Green)                       However, if I choose another case type = 3, the color is other way round (Close: Green, Created: Blue), which might confuse users. If I set pre-defined color scheme different than CLASSIC (E.g. SUNSET), the color scheme will be consistent after applying filter, but then it become inconsistent again if there is any new closed/created case. a!lineChartField( data: a!recordData( recordType: 'recordType!Case Status',

Hi Team, I am working on the history table of my Appian application. I created a new table in the database having a similar column of my application in addition of 3 new columns modifyby, modifyat, and operation(create/update/delete). I created a corresponding record type/data type as well. The entity mapping on the Datastore is also successfully done. Now while I am updating my code on create/update/delete interface to fetch the action history of my app, I am getting errors. This is the code:- buttons: a!buttonLayout( primaryButtons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Submit", saveInto: { a!save(ri!record['recordType!{031f0b84-9549-4b3a-942c-a8fd3d0dfa62}NH_Handover_History.fields.{b5d840ba-2408-425d-b829-510414356ac2}serialnumber']), a!save(ri!record['recordType!{031f0b84-9549-4b3a-942c-a8fd3d0dfa62}NH_Handover_History.fields.{d7f705b2-c020-47c9-95c4-cbe0e6df18a2}addedby']), a!save(ri!record['recordType!{031f0b84-9549-4b3a-94

Hi, Scenario: I am trying to make an interface where, there will be data coming from the database and I will be displaying the data in cards. eg: Database will contain data of Different courses offered by a university, and the cards will contain data like University Name & Course Name (the rest data will be displayed separately after clicking on the card) Now to avoid clutter, I want to display only 3 cards in a row. i.e. 1st 3 cards in 1 row, next 3 in the 2nd row and so on ...

I have this checkbox when checked sets the priority on the case. Currently the value is defaulted to 0. When its set the value updates from 0 to 100 and I should be able to check the value and if its 100 when the end user returns they will see the box is checked and can uncheck it to reset the case value back to 0. Currently I have the functionality of setting/saving the value updating the case all working with a process model. Even when they return they can check the box again and it will set the value back to 0. But I cannot figure out how to keep the box checked like the screenshot when the end user returns. It’s always unchecked. local!choices: if(local!case.priorityRank > 0, 0, 100), local!updatePriorityRank: null, a!sectionLayout( label: "", contents: { a!sectionLayout( label: "Case Priority", contents: { a!checkboxField( label: "", choiceLabels: {"Priority"}, choiceValues: {local!choices},

Hi All, I am trying to create an editable grid interface. But the column width for "ICON" is not working. Below I attached the screenshot of the code and the UI. Anyone having solution for this?

I would like to include Navigation bar as it is described in Navigation Patterns. To make it flexible and to be able to assign particular navigation entry to different users I would like to store in table A all NAV Section (id, name, icon and rule name) and in Table B - userToNavigation mapping. In table B i will store userid, tableAId.  I don't want to list all Navigation sections and then all rules/section as it is in example. I would like based on userToNavigation mapping display proper interface. In other words i need Appian to understand rule saved in table as text to be recognized as proper interface (rule!interface) https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/navigation-patterns.html

Hi all, I am trying to build a selectable editable grid, but everytime I select a row it keeps selecting the entire grid. I saw previous comments that each row needed to have an identifier, and my data does have one, but its identifier status must be getting lost somewhere if a selection on my grid keeps selecting everything. Here is my test code: a!localVariables( local!data: rule!query_case_summary(show5YrAvg: false), local!header: {"age", "gender", "smoker", "amount", "fiveyravg1", "fiveyravg2", "fiveyravg3", "fiveyravg4", "sum5yrChange", "annual5YrChange", "currYrChange", "priorVal", "currVal", "recVal", "reviewStatus", "lastReviewedBy", "userRecVal", "comment"}, local!selectable, { a!gridLayout( headerCells:{ a!forEach(local!header, a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label:fv!item)) }, rows: a!forEach( items: local!data.data, expression: { a!gridRowLayout( contents:{ /*

In 22.3 the "global search bar" has been centralized somewhat and pinned to the top bar of /Design, with added functionality, which is neat. However the "floating" bar invoked by pressing CTRL-Space is no longer "floating", meaning the CTRL-Space hotkey no longer works at all in a very important (to me, at least) use case: during pop-up dialogs (eg the deployment pop-up, missing precedents, etc). The way it worked before: even if I have a missing precedent checker or deployment window open, but still want to search for and/or open some object, I could just hit CTRL-Space and search:(from 22.2) Meanwhile, after upgrading to 22.3, we can see the "search objects" bar hanging out in the background but being completely useless even if I spam the CTRL-Space hotkey: I can't speak for others here, but I estimate that I personally used this functionality very often to look up and/or open objects I need even when in the middle of a pop-up dialog I don&
