User Experience Design

I have a requirement where I have to find the distinct value in the grid column and display it  Any suggestion

Hello, In order to display a specific content on a mobile, I have an interface with the following elements: A data subset loaded as a local variable when the interface is loaded (in my business case it's a list of tasks to execute for the user) A list of cards that will display the elements of the datasubset (forEach) A showWhen parameter for each card, if the user click on the card it will open another card to display detailed informations based on the same data subset As long as the mobile network is fine the interface works fine BUT if the network quality is getting worse while using the interface, it is no longer possible for the user to click on a card, as if the data subset was trying to refresh (or reload) with each click. There no message to indicate that the mobile device is offline. I could replicate the scenario by doing so: Loading the page and clicking on card to display detail > OK Tunrn device to offline > no offline message and it's not possible anymore

Hi, I have a requirement where, I have to be able to show the goals for a employee to resubmit as a step after he selects and submits the goals for the first time incase, he/she needs to add/remove any. The local variable 'FunctionalGoals' contains the list of master data as a type from which they can choose goals(1st cdt). It has only goaltype, subtype as columns in this case. The 2nd local variable 'SubmittedFunctionalGoals' contains the goals that have been submitted for the 1st time by the employee(2nd cdt - Transaction table), This has the remarks and startdate and enddate columns. There is a 3rd local variable 'SelectedFunctionalGoals' Which has the new goals which the employee selects (storing this as I need to make the respective remarks and startdate, enddate editable and required for that row). so fetching the remarks and startdate and endate for the submitted goals(1st time selected goals) is what I am stuck with. Hope I am able to convey the issue pr

Hey all,  I have 2 user input tasks. For both tasks, I need to implement/adjust alerts as follows. Number of days are calculated since the sending of the 'First task' task to the users (i.e. the deadline for both, the Primary Traveler and the Line Manager's tasks together must be 12 days). After x days 1st TASK 2nd TASK 3 Primary Traveller 0 6 Primary Traveller & Line Manager Line Manager 9 Primary Traveller & Line Manager & Compliance employee who approved the travel request Line Manager & Compliance employee who approved the travel request 12 Mail to Compliance with info that this Post Travel Form has still not been been completed/amended by the Primary Traveller and approved by the Line Manager Mail to Compliance with info that this Post Travel Form has still not been approved by the Line Manager   THE POINT IS THE DEADLINE FOR BOTH TOGETHER MUST BE 12 DAYS. I first installed escalations for the primary travelers 

Hi, Can we initiate a process model from barchart? Different process model should be triggered for different category  data source: recordtype   

QUESTION 1> Suppose we have 1 array : local!arr : {a,b,b,c,c,c,d,d,d,d}. Then how we will print in the pattern like a,   b,b    c,c,c    d,d,d,d. QUESTION 2>Suppose we have 2 - arr1: {"apple","banana","mango"},  arr2:{"a","b","c"}. How we will print if we choose "a" then it should print "apple" , if we choose "b" then it should print "banana" , if we choose "c" , it should print "mango".

Hi, I have a multipleDropdownField and it is working perfect in ADD functionality mode of user interface. I have trouble in EDIT functional flow. If users have selected a value in ADD mode, I need to show the same along with other dropdown options. This also, I am able to finish successfully. The issue is happening if user(s) added any new items along with existing item(s). I am not sure how can I handle this situation. Do I need to delete from db the previous records and re-insert new ones or any other process I need to follow.

Hi, We have a three records . Record A has one to many relationship with Record B and Record B has one to many relationship with Record C We are displaying the all three record data in a grid. We are having issue when display Record C data if one of the row has no value for Record C. Here is the snapshot of the grid column. We would like to show each lineItem as numbered list. In this example P2P is top level record. a!gridColumn( label: "Tracker Entry Date", value: if( a!isNullOrEmpty(fv!row[P2P.invoice.lineItem.name]), "", a!richTextDisplayField( value: a!richTextNumberedList( items: fv!row[P2P.invoice.lineItem.name] ) ) ) ), This works fine in the design mode in the Appian designer. When we access this from the site it throws an error. "Text?list must be used within a SAIL component" We don't want to use for each to iterate over each item to check null as it is causing performance problem. This issue occurs when an invoice does

Basically the title. Is there any way to play a video that was uploaded to the Appian Knowledge Center in an interface for a user?

Hi Team, We are using a paragraph component in our form-layout interface. We are saving its value in a rule input. Though the paragraph would be visible, it would be allowed for editing only when a specific condition is met. The rule input gets updated in an interface but in site page the value is neither getting updated nor reflected in the component. It just disappears. The form is called via a related action from a record type. Below is the code : a!paragraphField( label: "Closure Notes", labelPosition: "ABOVE", helpTooltip: "Maximum 1000 character allowed without extra space", value: ri!closenotes, saveInto: ri!closenotes, disabled : ri!status<>"Closed", refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", characterLimit: 1000, height: "MEDIUM", required: if(status="Closed",true,false) ) Please let me know how to resolve this

Hi all i have button layout and i am adding an additional button, with this one, when clicked, the button should go to external website, per say google.com. but a!buttonwidget doesn't have a link field. I found a workaround but that creates a linkfield that opens up once the button is click, the user than has to click the linkfield. but this is outside my acceptance criteria. once the button is clicked, it should go directly to the external website. Any ideas? Thanks.
