User Experience Design

Hello, I'm having an strange issue here. I have a grid showing some documents (they are a rule input variable type).  To get this documents I have a script that gets their ID from database. The problem is that there is a document with the ID on appian and when I do the tests designing the interface everything seems to work fine with the exact same data. And then on the interface in the record list anything shows but this error in red I would like to know if there is any other way to get this kind of error when the document exists and it hasn't been deleted. Thanks,

Hello! Is there a way to add the popular Icon libraries to an Appian Application??? Like FontAwesome ,etc.?? I saw this response : You can always upload your icons as documents, then utilize a!documentImage() to display them. If you have a specific use case, feel free to share it here. Anyone knows if this approach can be applied to all UI controls without restriction e.g. In buttons, BoxLayouts, Grid Headers, Grid rows?
