I have an interface in that there is a rule input of type Employee CDT. one filed of that CDT there is a foreign key (other CDT). I want to access the nested fields in my interface. how to access the nested fields?

In built sorting (Able to sort by any column) In built filtering ( Able to filter by any column) Delete row link

I am looking for a way to page an array of CDTs in an editable grid.  The caveat is that I need the data to persist across pages.  Has anyone done this before?  Some code examples would be great.

Hi all, I would like to create a scroll-wheel picker component for an interface, where the user selects a number (1-20) for a corresponding field. Many applications use this style for selecting country. I currently have a dropdown menu which is the closest thing I found so far... Is there any way that I can create this kind of a menu for a field? I am using Appian 21.2 version.

Hi All, I have requirement where I need to remove consequent duplicate value while showing the data in grid. i,e if values are: {"Requested", "Requested", "Pending","Sent For Approval","Approved","Pending","Approved","Approved"} the expected output is {"Requested", , "Pending","Sent For Approval","Approved","Pending","Approved"} Here "Requested" and "Approved" are getting rejected as they are consequently occurring twice.

Hi All, I am using selectables in read-only grid, based on the selected row I need to show a value in a particular column. In editable grid, we can configure the readonly as not(contains(ri!selectionList,fv!index)). But how to check whether the current row is in the selected list. How to get the row id in read-only grid?

We have Appian 17.3 and 21.1 environments - I am using a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups() field inside editable grid to allow users to pick either a user or a group. No issue when picking a user, but when I pick any group then I got the following error "Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups [line 100]: A user and group picker component [label=“Primary Assignee”] has an invalid value for “value”. All users and groups must be valid and visible to the viewer."   When I use a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups() outside of the editable grid, picking a user or a group works with no issue. Also, when using a!pickerFieldGroups() or a!pickerFieldUsers() inside editable grid works just fine. Appreciate any help on this issue.

It would be nice it it would be possible to allow a link to be configured inside a button. Currently a button only has a saveInto. If you want to launch a worklfow form a button you are limited to using a!startProcess(). This method only allows for headless processes to be launched.If you want to launch a process with a process startform, you need to used the  a!startProcessLink(), but there is no way to configure this when using a button. Example usecase: Imagine you have a custom grid of objects.You want the users to be able to select one or more objects. Based on the selection you will show the possible actions to use above the grid. A nice way to display these actions is by using buttons. If one of these actions involves a process with a process start form, there is no way to configure this using a button. You can however just just a link, but it wil nog look as clean.

Hello, Is it possible in an interface to detect in which  position  any component is ?  It's required to UX mobile, the idea is when user clic a button the interface take the button position like initial position for others components... Thank you

Hi! Does anyone know, why in some mobile devices, some features of the graphical interface change? Example   Requiered:  *  /  "Obligatorio" - Mobile Xiaomi MIUI 12.0.2 - Redmi MIUI 12.0.7 Thanks!

Hello, We have a requirement to display certain statements in the form of checklist, so the user would read one by one and check it. The statement also contains links. Our initially idea was to have checkbox field in an array to display the items as a checklist. But now since links are involved in the items, we cannot really use checkbox field as the field labels can only be of text there. The other way around we could think of is displaying it in a grid field. Links is achievable here. But the check issue, when we disable the selection, we get a default selection option (Selecting all ) along with the column title. We would not want to have this option because, the primary goal is to read through every item in the list and click on the checkbox. So any idea to remove the All Selection option ?  Thanks Nandini

Hi All, I am exploring options for automated testing:  have anyone has experience with automated testing for appian using BDD Cucumber ? ease of implementation  ease of Integration OOTB  support level of skills required to build test scripts and execution cost involves preferred option will be able to cover the testing automation required from SAIL interfaces, expression rules, to WEB services and plug-ins Is Jenkins purely for automating deployment? Can it be used for some level of automated testing?

Hi, I have the following scenario: Take a shopping cart. I have three tables: cartdetails which has foreign key productsId from product table, product table  which has categoryId from category table. the grid data is -> cartdetails and columns are ->   srno| category name| category type| category data| productname| product price| product data| quantity| totalprice Now in the grid i can call a rule to fetch the required data as: 1. call getcategorydata()-> for  category name| category type| category data 2. call getproductdata()-> for productname| product price| product data Instead of calling the rule again and again for the three columns each, i want to call it once per row. So im trying to use localvariables.  But the data that i can use is only fv!currentpage outside the gridcolumn() . so i tried doing fv!currentpage.data.productid. This is giving me the whole array of products. I want to index this to only get the individual row

I have an interface where a supervisor can prioritize orders.  Is there a way that when one order ships that the numbers will automatically change to a lower number?

Hi, I am a beginner to Appian . I am using "Docx from Dynamic template" smart service to read form data (includes images as well)  and generate a document.  Can anyone please help me with the document template sample and xml data model!? I have also tried MSword 2007 doc from template , pdf docx from template smart services but images were not embedding in the document. Document ID was populating instead of images. Any solution to this issue? Thanks.

Is there any way to disable default Appian task reassign feature when you click on task with process task link?

Hi , If we have 2 rows of buttons which holds separate SAIL forms on each button click, i.e. calls different SAIL UIs with a choose function. And I want to submit the form and come back to the same selected button. Is there any way to do this ? Because once I click on a submit button configured in any of the SAIL UI, it is taking me back to the first selected button called SAIL, rather than staying on the same button SAIL UI. Is there any way I can stay on the same page the button was selected once I submit where submit is true ? For Example :-  Row 1 is having Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3 and so on If I select a tab from Row 1 then in Row 2 I see sub tabs ex- on selection of Tab 1 I will see Tab 1.1, Tab 1.2, Tab 1.3 and so on Now if I am on Tab 1.3 and want to submit my form, I expect Appian to stay on same tab i.e. 1.3. But it is going to the first sub tab i.e. 1.1 ​ Is this a normal behavior in Appian or some issue with implementation

Hi, i'm trying in an editable data grid to "intercept" o simulate the "on data change" event. i want to return a rule input value to the parent interface that called the actual interface (with an a!save of the input passed) when data in the datagrid are changed but not saved. So if i remove a row, add a row or save data the events are present and all go right. The problem is that i cant do an "a!save" of the ri! paramenter when dataChange in the editable datagrid.
