In the documentation on parallel evaluation, Performance View - Appian 21.4, it is mentioned that if multiple queries are in place, they may be evaluated in parallel.  I'm noticing that this doesn't seem to be the case for a!queryRecordType(). Would it be a better practice to avoid a!queryRecordType for use of a!queryEntity in interfaces where parallel evaluation would help performance? Can someone please confirm or chime in if they have more detail, here are my findings: I set up an expression rule in the following manner (6 local variables all independent of each other, at any given time 3 of the other type are commented out).  The queryRecord1 and queryEntity1 are equivalent other than the function being used to run the query: Performance details indicate that the query records are not running in parallel, while the query entities are. Query Record details (sum of percentages does not exceed 100% indicating no parallel evaluation): Query Entity details (s

It seems this question keeps poping up. But I ll keep it simple: 1. What is the best way to store checkbox values, when multiple choices are selected? 2. Is it possible to show such record on a read only checkbox? I also checked Checkbox Component - Appian 21.2, but I could not find the information I am looking for. I also tried changing the DB and CDT from integer to varchar/text. Additional topics I looked at: Appian Community Appian Community Appian Community Appian Community Kind regards,

So the way the group picker filter works is you put a group in that filter and the picker shows any groups that are children of that group. Is there any way to also display that parent group as well? I'd like to show just the groups within a particular application so I'm using the application's all users group for the filter, but it doesn't show the all users group. I would rather not add some other group to put that all users group into if I can avoid it. Is there another option? If there's some other way to specify groups that are added to an application instead of the entire environment, I'd be open to that as well.

Hi, I  would like to create an interface where it will add/insert multiple CDT (a Parent one) and it's child CDT ( one to many ). I am not using nested CDT.

Hi,  I'm seeing this screen in one of my interface when I open it from process model while debugging / from Tempo. Can someone suggest on what needs to be done to identify the issue? There is no change in this interface from couple of years. When I try to populate the information in the designer mode. I'm able to view it without any issue.

Hi All, I am using a parent UI where 2 gridField and 1 gridRowLayout is used. First gridfield is working fyn.
