Data sources

Hello Community, I want to set form fields based on a dropdown selection which gets its data from a sharepoint list. I can set the value from the selection just fine. However I can only access the data with type ID and Name. The rest of the data has no type and does not show up for any rules I want to configure. How can I address this data in the form? Thanks Oliver

Hi I have a question. I imported a dictionary from Excel from the dictionary process and it duplicated the lines. I would like to upload this data from the beginning. How to delete all dictionary content.

Hi, We recently migrated Webcon to new servers on SharePoint 2019. Apparently, the configuration under Webcon BPS Configuration on each SharePoint site got lost (the database name etc.). 1. Is this behavior expected during migration? 2. Is it possible to set it globally or is it necessary to set it manually on each SharePoint site/subsite? 3. Are there any other such settings that might have gotten lost during migration? Thanks! Mark

Hi, I have 2 dictionaries: Countries and Cities. In the Cities dictionary, the form field 'country' is a picker field from the Countries dictionary.I would like this field to become a hyperlink which would take me to the Country dictionary instance for that country. I was expecting this to work at least in the Dictionary report Cities but it doesn't. For example when creating the Barcelona city instance in the Cities dictionary I selected Spain as a country. After saving I want to be able to (...)

Hi, how to set a filter in the data source for a data table so that search-filtering by date works. The usual filtering according to the scheme does not work: 1.

Hi everyone, I tried to connect to one of our sharepoint online sites. For some reason, I get a message that the login or username is not correct. (see screenshot) If I use the same login data for our on-prem Sharepoint 2013, it works fine. (see screenshot) On the Sharepoint online site which I want to connect, I am logged in with my valid credentials and I am both in the member and the owner group. (see screenshots) Our on-prem AD is fully synchronised with MS Entra ID (formerly Azur (...)

Hi, Sorry for my lack of knowledge but I've just installed WEBCON 2 days ago. Please help! I want to add in a item list rows from a SQL database but: Querying data is ok.

Hello, Does anyone has a rest api configured to access Sales Force? I have a connection and I use it in a process but I'm getting the data from Opportunities. I would like to bring in a specific report.

Anyone tried this? Do you know how to bring reports instead of (...)

Hi, We have an issue related to the usage of columns from a datasource (dictionary, BPS internal view) within a choicefield-type field. The user 'windows user' has created a new application, a new process, and a new dictionary. After configuring these, the user created the corresponding datasources for them. They created a new process where they associated the dictionary/process with choicefield-type fields. For data filtering, they used the fields from the datasources as filters. An (...)

Hello everyone, I need your help with a task that should actually be relatively simple. I'm trying to establish a connection to my Site Collection in SharePoint and have entered the relevant data (Server and Site Collection, User, ...). When I click on "test", it loads for several seconds, and I get the error: Unable to connect to the remote server. Regarding my rights in SharePoint: I am the owner of the Site Collection. What could be the cause of this? Thanks in advance!

Hello. Has anybody an idea if and how it is possible to create a data source from two different data connections? I.e. I have a database (MS SQL) with visitor data and the CacheOrganizationStructure table in the webcon content DB (MS SQL, too). Now I want to create a datasource for a Choice field, where I could query for names in both tables. It is purely for reading data. Kind regards Klaus

Hello all, Does anyone knows or have configured something that can relate the country vs national holidays in the country? Like having the calendars for Portugal Holidays, Spain, etc I know that we have to manually insert the holidays in the System configuration for calendar's table but in this case, the idea is, if I'm abroad and inserting extra hours, by defining where I am, the system could check if it's an holiday or not. Thanks!

Hello all, Does anyone configured an action where the value in a specific column for an item list is a value coming from a datasource different than MS sql server? My idea is, I need to get from an oracle table the rate for a specific employee, so I'm using the action with Datasource = my table and in the advanced filter, I just add the person id and the dates for comparison but this is not working. I've added a screenshot. If I use the field manually, I'm able to get that specific lin (...)

Working on a project whereby there is a process to track delinquent loans and create collection activities based on ageing. We receive loan data as a daily dump in excel and new or modified rows should either fire new instances of our workflows or trigger certain paths in existing workflows.Unsure of how to go about this

Hello, in the "Absences" application I have two processes: Employee file, Holiday request. I wanted to ask you, how do you organize data sources for such a process? 1. Should the source of data be an employee's file with a list of items that reflects holiday leave limits? In this case, each submitted application should update the parent workflow (Employee file), but I am afraid that over time the file will have too many versions. On the other hand, I have change history and actual data. (...)
