User Experience Design

Hello All, I was exploring if we have any option to use Windows Command in Interface. The requirement is to have print functionality through Appian. In the current solution a print icon is provide which opens up an interface through a process. The interface is added as start form to the process. Once the interface is launched users have to key-in "Control + P" to print. So my question - is it possible that if the clicks the print icon it runs the print command and the document is sent for printing. Thanks & Regards Girish Katti

Hi everyone. We are building a grid with data records in it. What we want to do is add a button above the grid, that when clicked, will unlock all the rows for editing and when clicked again will lock the rows. In other words, if a user clicks the button, all the fields will turn into text fields and if clicked again the fields would go back to read-only.   Any suggestions for how to go about this? 

Hi Everyone,  As I try to use selection in read only grid with conditional user filters. But when I select the row first time, data is saving in the variable but in the UI it is not showing the selection. I try to remove the conditions from the user filters then it is working fine. Here on the basis of selection and showFilter , I try to handle condition userFilters: { if( rule!Test_IsNullOrEmpty(ri!selection), if( local!showFilters, { Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Test 4, Test 5, Test 6 }, {Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 } ), null ) },

I am implementing an HTTP connected system that uses OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant for authentication. When presenting our users with the Authorization Link I would like the interface component to also display the connected system's Name and System Logo.  Is there a function to retrieve Name and System Logo from a connected system object? Looking through the documentation there isn't an mention on publicly visible properties from the Connected System object.  The reason I am looking to retrieve these values from the Connected System object instead of passing hard coded values for Name and Logo is because I would like to create a Connected System agnostic interface to present users the authorization link.

I am trying below code. Here, expression rule GPO_questionDetails returns a list for a given number.a!gridLayout( label:"program",headerCells: { a!forEach( items: {"230108","230109","230110"}, expression:{ a!localVariables( local!list: rule!GPO_questionDetails(questionID: fv!item), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: local!list.label) )} ), if(not(rule!APN_isTrue(ri!isReadOnly)),a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: ""),{}) },Error: Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!gridLayout [line 35]: A grid component [label="program"] has an invalid value for "headerCells". "headerCells" can only be of type GridLayoutHeaderCell. Received List of GridHeaderCell at index 1.Can some one help me to fix this ?

Hi all, Our main GUI team member is concerned about the icon that shows up next to the selected usergroup when it is picked from the Group Picker.  It appears to be a group of silhouettes, representing that there are multiple users.  We are looking for a way to remove this picture or icon. If it isn't possible, we would prefer to use the group icon that Designer mode uses: There isn't a call for our application to configure individual groups' profile pictures or special icons. So are there any alternatives to the silhouette icon? Thank you!
