User Experience Design

Old requirement: User used to enter multiple email addresses separated with a comma and that combined value was sent from Appian to API for sending emails. Here the highlighted rule input was saved as Text type in Interface. Now the requirement from API end has been changed and they have updated the Email addresses variable to list of items. In order to handle this I have updated the Rule input to store multiple values I tried to use a!foreach() in the saveinto parameter of  a!textField() but Interface is not recognizing the multiple values as list of items. Can i please get some suggestions on how to handle this?

Hi Team, I want to display an external PDF URL into a!documentViewerField, i tried using a!webContentField for the same, however the URL is not supported in it. I am open to first save the document to Appian and then display it. Please help me with the possible solution to this use case . Thanks in Advance.

Hello Appian community, I have a question regarding the implementation of a translation framework on record values in Appian. Currently, we are using database-backed records to store and display various referential data (such as status or list of values). I would like to apply a translation framework to dynamically translate these values into different languages when displaying a grid of record values. I am concerned about having to create a complex a!match statement to connect these values with Translation Set entries. Has anyone had experience with this or can provide guidance on the best practices for implementing such a solution using Translation Sets? Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am getting this issue when selecting value from dropdown for one particular user at function a!gridField_19r1 [line 71]: A grid component [label=""] has an invalid value for "columns" and "value". All "data" arrays must not contain more items than the specified "batchSize", but "batchSize" was 10 and the largest column data array had 17 items.

I have four tables; Event, Parish, Parish Profile and Parish Event. Event holds all possible events a parish can sign up for.  It has a unique key of Evemt_ID and fields Event (name of the event) and Start_Date Parish holds Parish data and has a unique key of Parish_ID. Parish Profile holds some additional information about what type of speaker they would like at their event.  Not every Parish has a Parish Profile. Parish Event hold the history of all the events a Parish has signed up for.  Not all Parishes with a profile sign up for all events.  Some chose to participate last year, but not this year. It has a unique key of Paris_Event_ID and foreign keys, Event_ID and Parish_ID. I want to display in the Parish Profile Record List the latest Event the Parish signed up for. I currently use an expression rule to display this value in the column. However, i can't sort and the filter i wrote pulls all Parish Profiles with that has the event in its relationship.

Basically im developing a start form where i get a list of records that contain a a docID and a dropdown.  The interface has a editable grid where the user can add rows and per row the user can add a document (file uploadField) and a dropdown.  My issue is that on both fields i selected the value and the save with ri!VALUE and when i add a document it makes it so that in all the rows that document is selected and the same for the dropdowns. How can i make that per row created the save and the value creates a new array? In the interface i have already selected the ri! as multiple.   ill leave the code here , and thanks in advance to all,  a!localVariables(   local!rowsTemp: a!gridRowLayout(     contents: {       a!fileUploadField(         label: "Input File",         labelPosition: "ABOVE",      &n

Hi Team, I'm currently stuck at a point and would appreciate your input. I need to display different colors for different countries in a column chart. Below is the database structure I'm working with country ListId(pK), .countryId(int), isAllowed(boolean) Note: I want to show only allowed countries data in column chart. I grouped the data by countryId, and I want to display different colors for different ranges of country IDs in a column chart. For example: Country IDs 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be shown in blue Country IDs 5, 6, 7, and 8 in yellow Country IDs 9 and 10 in another color These colors are just examples. If this approach is feasible, I will apply it to the actual requirement.

I have question like can we make editable grid to have a scroll after 4 rows.

Hi, I want to understand how refreshAlways parameter set to true behaves. Lets say I have interface A which is having one child interface B which is having 5 radio buttons and for all 5 radio buttons, i have 5 different interfaces called in parent interface A. Whenever I click on one radio button, one corresponding interface will display. I have used refreshAlways parameter for some local variables present inside those 5 interfaces. When I click on those radio buttons, will the local variables present in the 5 interfaces defined under refresh always will refresh or they will refresh when we interact with any component present inside those 5 interfaces?

We have two drop-downs within one card. When selecting the field to view the options, when scrolling over the interface, the field does not remain fixed in the interface. Is there any way to modify this behaviour? Attached are some screenshots

Hi,  In Action forms for few of the text field I'm using the auto filled data (autofill feature existing in browser). So, data is retaining in the text field but it's throwing a required validation. if I re-enter the values manually, required validation is removed. Any idea on this behavior?

Hi,I am facing an issue where I am getting Expression evaluation error at function a!forEach [line 44]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error in rule 'es_copy_ucaa_cmpt_fileupload' at function a!fileUploadField [line 27]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function fn!content_appian_internal [line 35]: Invalid Content ID.please help me to resolve this issue a!fileUploadField(label: ri!label,labelPosition: if(a!defaultValue(ri!showLabel, true),null,"COLLAPSED"),helpTooltip: ri!helpTooltip,target: ri!folderId,value: index(ri!documents, "appianDocId", null),saveInto: {a!save(ri!documents,a!forEach(items: tointeger(save!value),expression: a!update(data: cast('type!{urn:com:appian:types:PRI}PRI_Document',rule!GBL_indexWhere(value: fv!item,initialArray: index(ri!documents, "appianDocId", {}),finalArray: ri!documents)),index: {"appianDocId",&

I created an interface via an array of components, i.e.  { rule!header_component, a!gridField(  ... ) rule!footer_component } The grid is using a recordType for it's data, I enabled the export to excel button to the grid but when I click the button I get the error in the csv file: " Expression evaluation error: could not find variable 'model!parseModel' ". I have no idea what this variable is or where it could be from or what it does. I checked within the record list view, and that exports perfectly fine, it just doesn't work in the grid Interface I have.

is there any direct way to change the background color to white or any light color as chart labels are invisible with Black back ground in the download image( default capability) of charts.

I have a portal (yes a real portal) where parishes set their preferences for a speaker for Mission Co-Op Mission Sunday. The interface has a dropdown where they select the parish they want to set preferences and sets a local variable, slectedParish.  Once the parish is selected, I load a local variable, selectedParishProfile.  local!selectedParishProfile: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(local!selectedParish), rule!PMSO_getParishProfilebyParishID(local!selectedParish), null ), Now, the parish may or may not have an existing profile. So the expression rule either returns the profile or null if one does not exist. In the interface, I have a radio button field.   a!radioButtonField( choiceLabels: { "Yes", "No" }, choiceValues: { true, false }, label: "Can the Parish Provide Lodging?", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: local!selectedParishProfile[PMSO Parish Profile.fields.parishLodgingType'], saveInto: local!selectedParishProfile[PMSO Parish P

a!recordActionField( actions: { a!recordActionItem( action: 'action_1', identifier: ri!identifier ), a!recordActionItem( action: 'action_2', identifier: ri!identifier ), /* this last one should be the primary */ a!recordActionItem( action: 'action_3', identifier: ri!identifier ) }, style: "TOOLBAR_PRIMARY", display: "LABEL_AND_ICON", align: "END" ) I have the following code above with the following style "TOOLBAR_PRIMARY". I would like to be able to set which action is the primary one. I haven't seen such option. It always applies the style to the first one one the left. What if I want the one on the middle to be the primary action? Or the last one on the right to be the primary? I appreciate any hints on this since then. 

Hi, I have a local variable with 2 items . I need to add each element in the array with the corresponding index and display the total . Eg {1,2,3} +{1,2,3} = {2,4,6} But in my case I can't apply the addition directly . It should be in a loop. I even tried using merge function but it is not working.. . How to achieve this. The below output is present inside a local variable (local!final).I need to add {0+2,36+82,2+8} and form a single array.

I have an action that opens in a Medium Dialog Box Size and would like to know if it's possible to automatically trigger another action in a Small Dialog Box once the initial action is completed. Is there a way to dynamically change the Dialog Box Size during process model execution? Alternatively, can an action with a Small Dialog Box be automatically called from within a Medium Dialog Box upon completion? It's important for the second dialog to remain optional, giving users the ability to cancel it with the "X" icon. I appreciate any insights or suggestions on achieving this functionality. Thank you in advance for any insights!

I have an editable grid where I can validate if the grid contains any duplicates. I m able to write the validate message but I need to get the index or highlight the row where duplicates actually exists.
