User Experience Design

Hi, I am working on Appian version 20.2 I have created a Record Type with a Data Store and Entity. The moment when I open the Records and selected my Record Type, I am getting a list with only few random fields and got a link for the first filed. I would like to get the data fields which I want instead of random fields. Can someone advise on this. Thanks.

Hi Appian experts, Here, I am trying to get the cText based on the passed typeId. How I can achieve this. a!localVariables( local!selectedtype: "IM", local!myDictionary: { { cText: "Internal Memo", typeId: "IM" }, { cText: "External Memo", typeId: "EM" }, { cText: "Correspondence", typeId: "CP" } }, local!myDictionary.cText[local!selectedtype])

My requirement is to display current month as default option in dropdown and user can change month value from dropdown if they want to change and for each month there should be integer value saved in Rule Input "selectedMonth", so I have applied dropdownFieldByIndex() function for this. If user select blank then it will revert it to current month but I am getting below issue: SAIL Code: local!currMonth: datetext(today(),"M"), local!monthName: {"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"}, a!dropdownFieldByIndex( label: "", labelPosition: "ABOVE", placeholder: "--Select Month--", choiceLabels:union(local!monthName,local!monthName), /*choiceValues: tointeger(union(local!monthValue,local!monthValue)),*/ value: if(rule!APN_isNotBlank(ri!selectedMonth),ri!selectedMonth,local!currMonth), sa

Hi, I've a form which has about 10+ fields which are calculated based on various input fields (including editable grid input fields). I need to figure out a way to have the calculation logic in one place so it can be managed without a lot of code duplication. I want to avoid copy pasting the a!save for each calculated field into saveInto() of multiple input fields.

I have this expression rule : a!localVariables( /* Loop checks against passed in value of type to pull values from specific requirementActivity match */ a!forEach( items: ri!requirement.requirementActivities, expression: if(contains(fv!item.type, ri!activityType), 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:UW}UW-Requirement-Activity'( key: fv!item.key, type: fv!item.type, creatorId: fv!item.creatorId, creatorFullName: fv!item.creatorFullName, createdDate: fv!item.createdDate, commentText: fv!item.commentText ), {}), ), ), And I'm using it in my interface : a!localVariables( requirementsResponse: rule!UW_GetRequirementsByCase_RDS("SomeKey"), local!requirements: { a!forEach( items: local!requirementsResponse, expression: a!map( type: fv!item.name, status:fv!item.status, orderDate: fv!item.createdTimestamp, orderRe

Hello, I'm using the following to return all user rows, but I'm only getting one back: local!usersAll : cast('type!{urn:com:appian:types}AL_Users' , a!queryEntity( entity:cons!AL_USERS, query:a!query( pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo( startIndex:1, batchSize:-1, sort:a!sortInfo( field:"name", ascending:true ) ) ) ).data) I'm using this inside a local variable in a interface. Is there a limitation to this approach? Do I need to do it somehow else? In a Web API, this works and returns all, but not here, is it something with usage inside an interface?

Hi All, The button alignments were differing in Mobile when we are accessing the application from web-browser and Appian App through mobile. But ideally, the alignment should be differing irrespective of the accessibility of the application. Please find the attached screenshots for reference of the button alignment. Could you please provide some inputs on achieving the consistency in all browsers?
