Appian 24.1: Developers have a playdate

Case Management Studio: Your New BFF in Coding

Picture this: Pre-built sites, forms, and models walking into the room, all ready to mingle and fast-track your case management development. Reusable design patterns are the ultimate wingman, making workflows and task configuration feel like a breeze. Say goodbye to the usual development hustle; with the built-in case management data model, you can go from “months of work” to “weeks of chill”.

Interface Enhancements: Adding Swag to Your Visuals

Appian 24.1’s Interface Enhancements are the cool kids on the block. The Pain Layout component is like the rockstar guitarist, letting you jam out to complex multi-panel interfaces. The KPI component is your backstage pass to visual data insights. Multilingual interface improvements and more robust portal support are like adding extra toppings to your pizza – always welcome.

Prompt Builder AI Skill: When AI Joins the Party

AI walks into the room, but don’t worry – it’s here to help, not take over. With the Prompt Builder AI Skill, you can integrate generative AI models into processes without breaking a sweat. Write simple prompts, test them out, and automate data extraction and document generation tasks. It’s like having a tech-savvy assistant to share the load.

Rule Input Descriptions: Making Rules Less Rule-y

We get it; rules can be a bit uptight. But not anymore! Appian 24.1 introduces Rule Input Descriptions – your new storyteller. Add text descriptions to explain rule input parameters, making documentation fun and straightforward. It’s like giving your rules a personality, and who wouldn’t want that?

Object Change Logging: Keeping Tabs on Changes (Not the Stalker Kind)

Object Change Logging is your backstage pass to design governance. It’s like having automated logs that spill the tea on changes to interfaces, sites, and data types. Who did what, when, and where? It’s all there in the audit trail – user, timestamp, and environment details included.

Community Edition App: Early Access, Like VIP Passes for Developers

It’s not just early access; it’s a sneak peek into the developer wonderland. The Community Edition App allows you to test-drive the latest features before they hit the main stage. Experience the magic firsthand, and if you’re feeling chatty, share your thoughts to influence the next big act.

Developer Day at Appian World: Where Developers Become Rockstars

Workshops, labs, and sessions led by the rockstars of Appian, plus certification testing, networking opportunities, and a backstage pass to early product peeks. It’s not just a day; it’s where developers become the rockstars they were born to be.

Query Performance Monitoring: CSI for Developers

Enter Query Performance Monitoring – your CSI agent in the Appian universe. A centralised interface to dissect all record query executions. Metrics galore – time, rows, users – for every query. Pinpoint those slow queries and give them a makeover. It’s performance optimization with a magnifying glass.

Enhanced RPA Security: Making Security Less of a Drama

Enhanced RPA Security is the unsung hero. Automatic signing of agents, simplifying deployment and scaling of robotic workforces. Tightened credentials management – all with less manual work for administrators. It’s like having your security cake and eating it too.
