Hello,

This issue is a known problem related to Portal–Service communication when it is configured to use TCP/IP with certificates. In this mode, the Portal and Service accounts do not have full Windows user profiles, which means they cannot properly access the certificate store, causing “file not found”–type errors when the system tries to create the certificate’s object representation.
The issue is already identified and will be fixed in version 2026.2.
For now, the recommended workaround is to switch the communication mode to WCF. If this workaround is a problem to apply, please contact WEBCON Support.

Adrian Motyka

Hello,
Have you checked if there are any errors in 'Event log' (System Settings>Services configuration>Services>Local services status)?

Hi,
there is workaround within "Add attachment"- sql query which returns ATT_ID and updated extension as FileName.

Hi Phil,

To display the signature instead of the raw code, the field must be mapped to a Picture Content Control in Word.
Here is how it works for me:

1. Enable the Developer tab in Word (if it's hidden)
Go to File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon.
In the list of Main Tabs on the right side, check the Developer checkbox and save the changes.

2. Insert a Picture Content Control:
Place your cursor in the document where you want the signature to appear.
Go to the Developer tab.
In the "Controls" section, click the Picture Content Control icon (a small icon depicting a landscape). A blank picture frame will appear in the document.

3. Bind the Webcon field to the picture control:
Select the newly inserted picture control in the document (simply click on it).
In the WEBCON BPS plugin side panel, locate the appropriate "Handwritten signature" field.
With the control active (selected) in Word, add the field from the Webcon panel (usually, it is enough to double-click it or select the mapping option).

Thank you for the ideas!
I'm much more in favor of the 2nd one, as it scales better, no limit for the size of the group, although it tricked my brain into thinking that it could be also possible to achieve without any additional forms, just an SQL statement should do the job too.

We're able to fetch the tasks that are assigned from WFTasks, and search tasks just for specific process/workflow/form, by joining with WFElements, WFDocTypes, WFSteps, WorkFlows.

The order of assigning the tasks would be alphabetical, so i can just go with give me the last person from group x, who had a task in step y. This gives me the position to who should get the task next 🤔
Although by implementing it this way would require that there is only one path assigning the task, so the order won't get messed up.

I have the issue that I selected and added a handwritten signature in a document template.
But he saves me the HTML-Code and the picture. How can I remove the HTML-code or prevent it from being generated because it is 3-Sites of autogenerated data-tag.

I only added the field in general from the webcon plugin. Webcon Version is the newest one!

Ok, then I would create a dictionary with let's say 10 user picker fields and a field containing the next userbpsid and an int field to just save 1 to 10.
Create only one instance for one entry of the dictionary and disable all "New" buttons.
With a business rule you can then just get the userbpsid for the direct assignment and set the next userbpsid field of the dictionary entry with an automation on entry of the step.
To get the round robin working you need to do a concat ot the attribute table names "WFD_AttChoose" and the valueof the int field containing 1 to 10. If the field is empty you need an automatic to the next and after 10 a jump back to 1.

Or you create a default process with only one instance and use an item list there with the column for the user picker and a column with a checkbox as flag for the next assignee user. To set the next assignee you just need to disable the checkbox of the current row id with active checkbox and enable the checkbox of row id + 1 with the same logic to jump back from the last item list entry to the first one.

What do you think about it?

Seems like a neat idea for the load balance, the business rules would be enough for this one i like it!
I'm still looking for the round robin though, as this was the first go-to from business perspective.

Their original idea which i've assigned to round robin is following:
task 1: user1
task 2: user2
task 3: user3
task 4: user1
task 5: user2
task 6: user3
and repeat.

Hi Maksymilian,

I didn‘t realize this one yet but would do the following:

- Business rule that checks the total number of open tasks for all group members and gives back the bpsuserid having the smallest amount
- On the path to the step or on entry of the step an automation with action Create task. There you use the business rule in Direct and the group members in CC with edit rights

Optional would be a menu button „Assign to myself“ that uses an automation with Create Task and direct assignment to current user. The task CCs can remain for all group members.

Is this what you intend to do?

Kind regards
Sébastien

Hey everyone,
I've got a request from my business to automatically split the tasks between people in the department.

Did anyone here had a chance to implement something like round robin / load balance of tasks assigned to people from a group?
The idea would be one person get's the task assigned, but the remaining part of the team will just get edit rights to the document.

I don't recall any built-in solutions, but before creating one, maybe somebody already faced this challenge :)
