there needs only one item to be inserted, and the data should come from the mentioned item list. as i said i have created a query with "insert into" but i don't know how guid wll be generated and how to access wanted dictionary

Hi Arthuzad,
the question is very vague, but i'll give few shots to answer:

1. Inserting / Updating on database provided by WEBCON breaks EULA point 3.6 / 1.23 (https://webcon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/WEBCON_EULA_EN_2025.pdf).
2. If you need to import some data into a dictionary, then the easiest option would be Import/Export by Excel
* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Studio_ToolBar_Import/
3. If there is a lot of records required >500, then it might be better to do it via Cyclic Action, or REST Api, I've written a series which describes both ways: https://blog.lumenn.pl/importing-data-to-webcon-1/

Is it possible to insert into wanted dictionary related item via sql query or else ?

Hi, i have a question in regards to saving data and obtaining it later. So, i have an item list where each user has an id, if i change any of these attribute fields, changes need also to take effect in the dictionary. There is a specific field that will trigger this action. I already created a query that will map correct attributes with update command. I'm interested in the logic that would need to take place in obtaining the current changes.

thoughts:
- after triggering specific field in the item list, trigger save path that will save the instance changes. add extra field in the item list with boolean that will examine is something changed or not.
- parsing current values with js and creating json which can be read via sql, this could potentially be more complex

Thanks, Daniel, for your reply. So I guess I’m not as blind as I thought

Hi Stanislaw,

there's no longer a "default dashboard" in 2025. The system dashboard is gone and we can configure the "Application home" dashboard.

There's an option to restore the default configuration of the application home in edit mode.


Best regards,
Daniel

Maybe I'm blind, but where do you set the default dashboard for a site in version 2025.2?
The documentation only mentions that
"Default application dashboard
The so-called default application dashboard is created automatically upon application creation. It includes standard elements such as the Task counter widget, buttons for registering new instances, and the Suggested dashboards and reports and Recent activities sections.
The default application dashboard also serves as the application's main page. While it cannot be deleted, its content can be freely modified."
(https://proud-rock-0a383a103.3.azurestaticapps.net/docs/2025R2/Portal/ApplicationHome/).
Do I understand it correctly that I can no longer change the default dashboard?

In 2024 it is clearly describe where it is (https://proud-rock-0a383a103.3.azurestaticapps.net/docs/2024R1/Portal/Dashboards/)

Thanks in advance for your help!"

Thank you for your reply, I solved it by connecting to a network printer as you wrote. The test passed, but when I try to print anything, the printer does not print anything. What could be the cause? The printer is not connected to the computer, but to the printer server.

Printer: CITIZEN CL-S521 II. Meets all the requirements you wrote about

Hi Nikolaus,
I've checked how it works in our environment (version 2025.2.1.35).

First of all i've created test api definition as seen in screenshots, a simple example - just starting new empty workflow.
An important thing was to check Authorization mode, documented here (without it i've been getting permission errors):
* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/APIDefinition#5-authentication-mode

Second part is the API client/secret - I'm using a full access token for development purposes, but to test the scopes i'm specyfing those in authorization requests.
Make sure, that you've saved those scopes allowed per specific application, so you are trying to get permissions to scope, to which you can get those.

Now testing, using curl it goes like that:

1. We log in as the application:
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://webcondevelopment/api/oauth2/token' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={your_client_here}&client_secret={your_secret_here}&scope=App.UserDefAPI.ReadWrite.All'

2. Using returned access_token we can now try to execute the action:
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://webcondevelopment/api/udef/db/1/test' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
-d '{}'

From permission perspecitve I gave permissions on the application level and on process level.

When error says Invalid scopes i would check 3 times if those are properly defined on both ends - webcon, and the application/script executing the api call, it looks like it's the first thing that webcon checks before it proceeds to do anything else.

Hi,
Sometimes setting up a scheduler (Task Scheduler) and a powershell script helps:

Get-Service -Name "WebCon WorkFlow Service" | Where-Object {$_.Status -NE "Running"} | Start-Service
$date = get-date
$date | export-csv C:\PowerShell\log.csv

The service may not start, for example, when you are making a backup or when the database simply does not respond after starting the server.
