Web Browsers

The supported Web browsers are listed in the table below. Use the Appian Mobile application for iOS and Android instead of mobile browsers.  See Mobile Devices for more information.

Web browsers must allow cookies. If a user’s browser is not configured to allow cookies, then Appian displays an alert stating that cookies must be enabled in order to log in. Appian uses browser cookies to maintain user sessions, enable protections against threats such as cross-site request forgeries (CSRF), and, if configured, remember certain user choices between sessions.  The cookies contain anonymized tokens and unique identifiers. No personally identifiable information (PII) is ever stored by Appian in a browser cookie.
