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.

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".

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

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 (...)

“Choose application” search not filtering correctly

0 0

Hey everyone, is anyone else experiencing an issue with the “Choose application” dialog? On version 2025.2.1.179. when I click Choose application and start typing in the “Search application…” field, the tab automatically switches from Most used to All, instead of staying where it was. Also, the system doesn’t actually filter based on what I type — it just shows a random list of applications. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Thanks, Martin

Email template for different processes

Hi all! We have some email templates in our process. The difference between these templates is basically the header image, other content is the same. Now we have to add a new process, but unfortunately there is no way to use a template from other process. Global email template is very restricted, unfortunately there is only one. I know we could work with some global field, added to each process, determining the type of template, but then we will have a hard time, refactoring our exis (...)
