Hello all, Does anyone have a timeout defined that is using the Executed at specific hours options selected? I'm trying to set the timeout to run at midnight but eveytime that I save, it changes it for 11PM. I have a date field, I want to use that date as the Start Date and then make the timeout run at Date + 12AM. For example: 17/17/2024 12:00 AM Thank you

Hello all, I have a process that can be started either from a Parent workflow or in the workflow, using a menu option (creating a sub-task). In the start step, I have editability rules, if the user is creating a sub-task, some fields can be edited, but if the task has come from another process, those fields cannot be changed. In the URL, I'm passing the ID when the user creates a sub-task to a field in order to use it as editability parameter. However, although the field has information o (...)

We would like to run a PowerShell script periodically, to prepare data for selected cases in one of our interfaces. BPS Studio version 2023.1.3.202 doesn't give us an option to add that type of action in global actions (configured for the process). So currently we have to use a task, that is configured in TaskScheduler on the application server, to run it. Is there an option in BPS Studio to run a PowerShell script that is not connected to only one particular case data? Are there any plans to (...)

Hi guys, i just have another question... we need to create an Excel file from an item list. Basically, this works well using an appropriate Excel template. However, I have fields in the item list that are filled from a fixed value list and the action then creates an entry in the column in the format [ID#Name]. But I only want to see [Name]. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone I started using Webcon in May, so I'm pretty new to everything. I'm trying to setup an internal process to move and lock Active Directory users. This involves moving the user to a different OU, but I can't seem to find this option in Webcon (other than executing Powershell which I'm trying to avoid for security reasons). Does anyone have experience in this? Greetings from Switzerland Raymond

Hello all, This might be a very simple question! I'm trying to set up a calculated date field using a concat function and then a text to date in order to format it to date, but I'm keep having an error saying that String '7/3/2024' was not recognized as a valid DateTime. It looks like the conversion function is not working. Do you know if that only works if selecting a field? Meaning, I need to create the concat information prior and then use the field in the conversion? Thank you

Hello all, Does anyone configured an action for Document signatures using the built-in action for Sign an Attachment with CoSign? I'm not sure how to establish the SOAP Url and login. I thought that selecting the attachment, the user would be prompt to login in DocuSign page and sign the document. Thank you

Hi, I need your help. The topic is actually quite simple, but unfortunately I have a problem with this one process. I start a new parallel subworkflow in an action (ID is saved in a technical field), which I want to update later. In the action "Update related workflow instance" we get the message for the users: Incorrect instance ID: ''. When we execute this workflow, the ID is found and the data is written. So it seems to be an authorization problem? Both processes are in the same a (...)

Dear Community, After upgrading WEBCON BPS to latest standalone version 2023.1.3.202 (from 2023.1.3.169) I noticed that there are errors in mail sending report. E-mails are delivered but log is filling up with error. Error: "Failed to save information in the workflow instance history about the successful email sending execution" Error details: "Unrecognized Guid format." Attached screenshot with it. In history there is only information about adding e-mail notification to queue. No (...)

Hello all, Does anyone have access to the document mentioned here for the digital signature: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/attachments-in-webcon-bps/367/22 Thank you

Hi, I have one major problem with the Add privileges action. It works when I add privileges to single users but doesn't apply when I choose a group as a USER / SQL query. On the Instance level there is information that the Group has privileges but members of the group do not have access to the instance. Additionally when I add privileges to the group manually users of the group can see the contents. Where am I making a mistake? ver. 2023.1.3.169

Hey, I am creating a workflow where I would like to give option [Send Back for LEGAL Check] on different steps (Screen shot added ). However, I want to create a restriction so on the legal check step users can see only paths related to the step that it came from. Not all paths because that would be extremely confusing (screenshot of all paths added). So for clarification if the flow was send to "legal check" from step "Business Approval" I want user on the "legal check" step only to see path (...)

Hi, I have a date & time field. I want the timeout to execute one hour from the date and time set in that field. How can I achieve this? From my testing, it seems to only consider the date and not the time. Thanks, Raluca

Hi guys, got element with over 17k versions in history - it has been updated every 30 mins with a cyclical action. I would like to remove it completely, but am not able to. Got timeout using [Delete] button on element, as in the attachment. Also tried the archive action in button (removing completely from the database) with no luck as well. Do not want to remove it manually from DB. Any ideas how to do that? Version 2023.1.2.68

Hello! I'm currently implementing a workflow where I first create a Word document with form fields, initiating with the 'Start editing a file using OneDrive' action. This allows me to access and edit the Word file directly from my OneDrive folder, and everything works perfectly at this stage. However, I encounter a problem in the subsequent step of my workflow. After making modifications to the Word document, I aim to generate a PDF from the updated file. I am using the 'Finish editing a f (...)

Hello Experts We have a html template with our logo in it as an image tag. When we create a PDF from the template the logo is not displayed in the PDF. In the html template itself the image is displayed. We also tried to insert the logo directly in the Generate PDF action in the tab Appearance => Show header => Html: It's the same here. The only thing that is displayed in the PDF is the alternative Text for the image but not the image itself. The logo is located as file in a template process (...)

Hi community! I have to remove all privileges (except the author of the element) on current workflow element for security reasons. I tried putting the action 'On exit' of the current step, before executing all other actions (assigning tasks, adding certain privileges, ...) on path to next step. According to an old documentation 'On exit' actions should be executed first and should not be dependent on the path, that was taken. Unfortunately the action 'Remove privileges' is always (...)
