Where can I find information in the database about the licenses used?
Hi. Since we switched from V2021 to V2025 I noticed that it seems to be no longer possible to use the content of a form field (unsaved data) in a SQL query (see pic). It just delivers "empty". Is there a workaround? I frequently used the data of form fields to control actions and so on. This is a major degradation ! Kind regards Klaus
I wanted to make New SQL Data Source with data type: Organization Structure to use it to my holiday process. When I use original source from AD -> CEO and Managers can see all of their employess. But people in each team don't see their coworkers from another teams. So I wanted to make a new SQL Source to improve Gant Chart in Holiday Process. I used data from Workers Profile in BPS. Everything looks fine but there is one problem - CEO don't see everyone - he can see only his profile. (...)
Hello! We recently had an issue where the UserPrincipalName (UPN) of Active Directory users was changed, which is causing problems with Webcon. The system uses the UserPrincipalName in the ‘CreatedBy’ field to track who created each instance. As a result, users can no longer see the instances they created before their UPN was changed. One way to fix this is by manually updating the CreatedBy field for each record, but this is very time-consuming. Additionally, users can't see their previousl (...)
Hi all, looking for ideas on a startup/warm-up issue. Context: • At night our Webcon instance seems to “go to sleep”. • In the morning the first user login usually wakes it up, but it takes a bit. • Since last week it often doesn’t wake up like before and throws timeouts. Symptom: • First login after the night stalls, then I see this in Event Viewer. --- --- --- Message=The request channel timed out attempting to send after 00:01:00... InnerException: Message=The HTTP request (...)
Hi, I'd like to ask if you know of any ways to avoid losing WCAG tags when converting a Word file (WCAG-compliant) to PDF. Attached is the report from the WCAG compliance scanner for the PDF file.
Hi together, could it be that it is no longer possible to drop a mail into an Webcon Element (Attachments) directly from the New Outlook (M365) ? Or is this a matter of settings? Version is 2025.1.1.152 Kind regards Klaus
I closed my initial thread because I thought I solved the problem but I was wrong. So I ask the question again: My Microsoft Word application have some specific settings for Track Changes (Insertions are color only and deletions are hidden). These settings are carried over when saving the word document as PDF. My problem is that the track changes settings are not carried over when I use the webcon action "Convert Word to PDF". It uses the standard track changes settings. How can I change th (...)
My Microsoft Word application have some specific settings for Track Changes (Insertions are color only and deletions are hidden). These settings are carried over when saving the word document as PDF. My problem is that the track changes settings are not carried over when I use the webcon action "Convert Word to PDF". It uses the standard track changes settings. How can I change this behavior? Thanks for any help Never mind. New changes are converted correctly. Existing changes were not c (...)

Hello everyone, I have a JavaScript form rule with parameters that lives in a script tag in an HTML form field. And I have the issue that I can't figure out what button combination I need to press or where to click to edit the parameters. With business rules, it's in a context menu, but within the expression editor on the HTML field, I can't figure it out. And I could not find anything on the forum or documentation. I'd appreciate any advice.
Business example: We have a process that many people can access, but only the administrator and the creator can edit it. Other users would like to clone existing documents to save time, but they can only do this for documents they are the author of. Is there any reasonable workaround to let users without edit rights use such an action? P.S. I have to use the SQL option because of position lists in the instance.
Hi Everyone, I’ve just started implementing business processes in WebCon BPS and couldn’t find the answer to my question on the forum. Business case: It’s an overtime management process. In one attribute, the user provides the overtime date, and then in the item list they provide additional data, including the employee’s name, start time (hours and minutes), and end time. I would like to give the user an easy way to set the time. I could use a Date/Time column, set provided date and a (...)
Hello, I would like to allow users export data from item list which shall be in readonly mode. Right now Export to Excel feature hides when I check the item list to readonly mode. Is it a feature / bug? Is it planned to be changed? Does any workaround exist, except the showing data table with the same result (and e.g. my query returns over 1k rows which is data table limit). I am aware that the form slow downs but is not crucial in that case :) Best Regards, Dominik
Webcon BPS authorization with AD. I need to change the UPN for users, but after changing the UPN, the user loses access to all documents in Webcon created before the UPN change. I want to make the change in batches, so I can't do it for all users at once. How do I make the change for specific users?
Hi everyone, did anyone reuse an existing connection a plugin using the ConfigEditableConnectionID attribute? When I searched for the attribute name I only found references to the automatically generated documentation. In my case I wanted to reuse a REST connection or more specific, the authentication. Best regards, Daniel
Hello, One of our workflows has been poorly designed and currently has over 700 versions. The form contains an item list with more than 1200 rows. Each time the form is opened, it loads very, very slowly. Is it possible to initialize only, for example, the last 100 rows, and load the remaining rows on demand via a button? Do you perhaps have an idea how to feed new rows at the step I marked in the diagram? Currently, the rows are loaded into a technical table at those steps, and then pulled i (...)
Hi, I have a case where I'd like to filter the source live or validate those rows. What do I mean? If I select a number from 1 to 40, lets say 1, from a field, I won't be able to select that position in the next row. I'd like to do this in a way that doesn't require the user to save the form a hundred times ( everysingle pick ) or using have the system throw them away and redirect them to the same table on the form. List is already implmnetet with 40 rows, user job is scale those rows from 1 (...)
Hi Our WEBCON BPS process base grow quickly and some applications got complex having many processes and flows. Our users base is spread across several departments / business units and countries. The result is that we need to process many change requests from various sources and it is a challenge to synchronise all development work to find a point in time, when all changes have been tested and approved. So, we need sometimes to deploy the application that includes untested features what often (...)
Hello, I am attempting to launch the ABBY OCR service on a dedicated server. In the configuration, I have set the OCR AI function for the dedicated service. Unfortunately, in the logs I have a stopped document described as: Unassigned (screen). Do you have any idea where the configuration is missing? I would like to add that the Abby licences are activated on the new server.
