MyAppian

Overview

MyAppian provides you with a wealth of information on your Appian experiences in a single place.

MyAppian has four tabs:

• Home provides you with a landing page to view open support cases, key account metrics, and environment details.
• Support provides you with a way to manage and troubleshoot your Appian platform, on your own or with Support.
• Health provides you with information specific to managing and monitoring your Appian platforms.
• Adoption provides you with user login data for all your cloud production sites.

MyAppian roles

There are two categories of roles that have access to MyAppian: support contacts and basic organization users.

Support contacts have access to the majority of MyAppian content for all accounts they are associated with. Registration administrators are included in the support contacts category. Registration administrators are specific to each customer and assign users to the appropriate role.

Basic organization users do not have support contact permissions, and only have access to information for the accounts that they are associated with.

To learn more about roles and MyAppian access, see the Security Summary section below.

Home

The Home tab is a landing page that brings together key details from across your organization into a single, unified view.

The primary content areas are:

• Key attributes
• Environments
• Open support cases

From the Home tab, you can:

• View details about your support level and contract information.
• View environment details and identify potential environment risks.
• Access pending action items through the support cases summary view.

For information on which roles have permission to view the Home tab and details, see the Security Summary.

Key attributes

The Key Attributes section on the Home tab contains key details specific to your organization.

These details include:

• Open Support Cases - Shows the total number of support cases that you have open.
• Support Level - Shows the level of support that you have agreed to when purchasing Appian.
• Days to Next Renewal - Shows the amount of days you have remaining until your next subscription renewal is due.
• Customer Since - Shows the year that you became an Appian customer.

Environments

The Environments section on the Home tab displays data on potential platform risks, cloud performance, and cloud storage utilization. This section allows designated support contacts to view platform risk levels as well as cloud environment details.

View risk levels

Support contacts can drill down to view the high and medium platform risk levels. Health check assesses the risk levels and provides more detailed information on the Health and Analysis pages.

View cloud environment details

Support contacts can also view details about the cloud environment to:

• View the environment’s version and hotfix number.
• See which environments have High Availability.
• Toggle between servers to see individual metrics.
• Interact with the CPU Usage charts to view more details and trends.

By default, support contacts can see 3 environments, but can update the default settings to view more environments by clicking the star icon.

Open support cases

The Open Support Cases section on the Home tab displays an overview of your open support cases. Support contacts can create new cases from this section.

By default, support contacts see up to 5 open support cases. Cases with a “Pending User” status are yellow and displayed above cases with any other status.

Support

The Support tab allows support contacts to interact with support cases, manage account details, access Accelerators content, download licensed software, and complete tasks.

For information on which roles have permission to view the Support tab and pages, see the Security Summary.

Cases

On the Cases page, support contacts can view and edit all support cases within your environment, as well as create a new case. Support contacts can also filter the case record grid using the predefined filters, as well as create and save personalized custom user filters powered by Appian Records.

Accelerators

The Accelerators page provides quick access to accelerators for customers that have subscribed to Appian Accelerate. For customers that have not yet subscribed to Appian Accelerate, details are provided to learn more about how this service can improve the overall health and success of your Appian implementations.

Accounts

On the Accounts page, both support contacts and basic organization users can view user account associations to the account. Content access is dependent on the viewer’s role:

• Registration administrators can:

  • Register, add, update, and remove support contacts and organization users.
  • Approve user account associations.
  • Update cloud maintenance emails, self association approvals, default support case contacts, and email distribution lists.
• Support contacts can view the installations that are associated with their account.

• Basic organization users can view:

  • The accounts page.
  • The information for their support contact.
  • The information for their user registration admins.
  • Any installations associated with their account, including cloud environments and self managed environments. To learn more, see the Health check page.

An account summary that registration administrators and support contacts can see:

Downloads

On the Downloads page, customers with self-managed Appian environments and all of their users have access to:

• The Appian platform*
• Process mining*

*Availability based on the licenses purchased.

By default, cloud customers don't have access to download software. Cloud customers interested in accessing this content should discuss it with their account executive.

• Support contacts can view and complete support case satisfaction tasks

Health

Health monitoring is a critical tool for successful management of Appian applications and overall platform health. The Health tab contains two pages: Health Check and Cloud Resources.

For information on which roles have permission to view the Health tab and pages, see the Security Summary.

Health Check

On the Health Check page, you can either analyze the results of a previous Health Check run on your site, or request a manual health check analysis. Health Check provides support contacts with insights into application design and performance risks in your environments.

Analyze

The Analyze option on the Health Check page allows you to:

• View the current risks and their trends by priority.
• View specific risk findings by priority and their trends.
• Identify new and recurring findings.
• Ignore findings that have been deemed no longer a risk.
• Group findings by application name.
• Add notes and links to findings for future reference.
• View process metrics.
• View the process archival settings.

Request

The Request option on the Health Check page allows you to manually request a health check analysis. To more efficiently use Health Check, schedule regular Health Check analyses or run an ad-hoc check via the Administration Console.

Credentials

The Credentials option on the Health Check page allows you to obtain Health Check credentials or reset the Health Check password. Select your organization from the dropdown to reset your password, or generate credentials if you don't already have them. The new password or credentials will be sent to your email from forum@appian.com.

Cloud Resources

The Cloud Resources page provides cloud customer designated support contacts with key information about the current performance of cloud environments, details on infrastructure configuration, and some self service capabilities.

There are five sections on the cloud resources page:

• Metrics

• Certificates

To learn more about each of these sections, see the Cloud Resources page.
