SAIL Events Field

by Appian Corporation

Description

Enterprise applications often rely on legacy or complex data sources that struggle to provide real-time responses. By blocking the loading of an interface while waiting for these slow sources, the user experience is degraded. This component allows your interfaces to load immediately with data that's available already and receive push updates once the slow to request data is available. This allows the user to start working with the data they have immediately without being blocked by the slowest data source.

Features

  • Push events to interfaces that are waiting for them (see documentation for implementation consideration)
  • To add consistency to the user experience where unreliable data sources are involved. Such as slow APIs or database queries.
  • A call center where a specific integration is known to block the interface loading, but the rest of the interface can load now while it waits.
  • A user submitting a request that won't return immediately, but will return reasonably swiftly (within 60 seconds). Such as requesting a document to be generated.
  • Refresh a stale cache in the background.

Release notes

  • Added an optional parameter showLoadingIndicator that determines whether the native loading indicator in the component is shown
