Using Tags in thread names

1 0

Hi everyone, I learned today that you can close threads, which prevents adding additional answers. This is fine but I believe that we that an additional hint in the thread title would help, too. There are two reasons: 1) it's easier to notice 2) It's a better user experience. If you hide an option the user will wonder why something isn't available also it should be. If you "disable" it instead and provide an explanation everything is clear. Therefore I would suggest to add [Closed] as a prefi (...)

Use absence template for time schedule for employees

1 2

Hello everyone! I have two questions. 1. Did anyone use the absence process template as the time schedule for the employees? My client has many different shifts for employees and I was thinking of presenting the data with the mentioned process. Any ideas would be appreciated. 2. At this point my main problem are the colors presenting the vacation type (which in my case would be the shift). The Vacation Type data source has only 6 available colors. I need more than that. Does anyone know if w (...)

How to build and access a ConfigEditableItemList with SDK?

I try to implement a ConfigEditableItemList in a custom action in C#-code. When I go over the ConfigEditableItemList I get the message: "The class with the item list configuration must implement: IConfigEditableItemList". I implemented an example but when I upload the SDK into Webcon I get an error that there is the implementations missing and I can see nothing from the SDK. Has someone experience with the ConfigEditableItemList and can give me a better example? Photos from the case are (...)

After redirect the user has no access to the application, because he only exists in, for example, azure ad but not as a bps user on the plattform. I hope my question is clear enough =) Greets Georg

Webcon user picture

Is there a way to set a custom user profile picture in WEBCON for each user? If so, is it different between Azure AD and local AD users? (This is more of a question and I am not sure if a new forum thread is the right way of doing it.)

Ideas for inserting timeouts for existing processes

1 5

Hi everyone, does anyone has an idea, how to create a timeout for existing instances? The workflow waits in a system step until the date of the timeout execution is reached. Unfortunately the insert condition was wrong, so all instances will wait there forever. One option would be to define an invisible path, which leads to the same step to trigger the timeout again. I don't like this approach. In a real world case it would mean to deploy the process to production, invoke the new path for ever (...)

[SOLVED] Q: How can values be written back to a form field from JavaScript (within an HTML element)?

0 2

Hello everyone, we are using JavaScript for a RestAPI call (long story – it's a requirement from IT). Now I receive the "Response Status Code" and "Response Text" within the JavaScript, but I also need to send these values back to WEBCON for further processing. Since we usually work with WEBCON without using JavaScript, I’m lacking the necessary know-how in this area. Can anyone assist me with this? Thank you in advance! Wishing you all a great weekend, Bjoern

Execution timeout expired

Hi, I have a strange situation. One of our users, who is a business administrator on a workflow, is suddenly getting an error when attempting to view workflow elements. The error displayed is "Execution timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." This is only happening to this specific user. Where should I even go to look for any detailed troubleshooting? Thanks

Search after attachments name

0 0

HI, We have a process that has a substantial number of attachments and the client would like to be able now to search after their name. Initially, we didn't leave the check mark to Add attachment content to SOLR search index. Apart from enabling this, is there any other option? Would it significantly slow down the search if we do it now? Thanks, Raluca

Subworkflows settings > Advanced settings bug?

Hi everyone! After upgrading to version 2025 we noticed that the Advanced settings are not working in the same way as they were in the previous versions. The query that was working just fine before is not doing its work. Does anyone else have the same experience? If this helps, this is the query that we're using: IF ( /* Number of all child workflows */ SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WFElements WHERE WFD_WFDID = {WFD_ID} AND WFD_DTYPEID = {DT:494} ) = ( /* Number of positiv (...)
