Hi, I have an implementation question. We'd like to merge two WebCon instances into one. We currently have two servers, two configurations, and two WebCon services. Is it possible to merge two instances onto one physical server, running both configurations on one service?
Dear Community, In a process where parallel tasks are configured with the "Completion – All" setting, I would like to send a notification email to the task initiator as well as to all other parallel task assignees each time one of them completes their task. This should continue until all assigned users have completed their tasks. How can I achieve this behavior? Which action should I use, given that neither "on exit" nor "on path" seems to work in this scenario?
Hi, I’m looking for the best approach to handle long-running operations (potentially taking several minutes) in WEBCON BPS. Scenario: Suppose we need to perform time-consuming Active Directory updates based on a list of items within a WEBCON BPS workflow instance. Given the current execution time limit of 120 seconds, this may not be sufficient. Workaround Approach: My current solution is to use a scheduled Windows Task (created via a PowerShell integration action in WEBCON), then trans (...)
Is there an up-to-date list somewhere showing the limit of attributes that can be used in a single process? I'm asking because I used the Yes/No choice field 40 times, and the only page I found is from 2020, which says that such fields are limited to 20, not 40. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/limiting-the-number-of-form-fields/70/3
I don't have a "WEBCON BPS Software Development Kit" license. I'm wondering about the possibility of electronically signing attachments. Is the only option for using a qualified personal signature the "IT Hit Doc Opener 5" add-on? The "Sign an attachment" action only applies to the signature placed on the server, not the user's personal signature?
Hi Is it possible to display SQL ROW/GRID on archived items? I see that items are disabled natively, but perhaps you have a workaround?
Hi. In one of our processes, a user can import data into an item list from an Excel file. Unfortunately, these files often contain at least 100 items, which causes import problems. In such cases, somehow, the import is successful from the admin level (I don't understand the difference). The item list currently has 40 columns, including several selectable fields that also populate other fields or calculated fields. How do you manage importing files with over 100 items for such colossal item (...)
Hi, in this report, does a user need to have read privileges to view the data? Not to open the document itself, but just to view a specific item within the report. A couple of days ago, this worked without issue(without read rights), but now, without any changes, it no longer does — a user only see rows in the report for elements that have some assigned rights (such as read).
The application was initially developed in the dev-environment and later exported to the prod-environment. However, changes have since been made directly in the prod-environment that are not reflected in development—and unfortunately, these changes were not documented. Now the question is: Is it safe to overwrite the development version with the production version, considering potential issues such as differing IDs, configurations, or other environment-specific data? If it's not safe, what (...)
Business case: due to organization regulation it is required to fill in a specific form and attach it as PDF to a WEBCON case. The problem is how to assure that such PDF file matches prefedined format and that is is filled with reasonable contect Expectation: dedicated action that will take two attachments: template in PDF or WORD and actual document in PDF or WORD and will calculate similarity score from 0 - documents differ completely to 1.00 - documents match perfectly. Alternatively TRUE (d (...)
I am using a list item and trying to retrieve the corresponding email from the data source by selecting a name. The filtered email should be displayed in the field immediately after selection. But it's not working. The email only appears after I delete the name. How can I solve this problem?
I’m missing the option to select multiple attachments (for example, to sign them or send them via email). I'm not referring to using any naming pattern or attachment group, but rather giving the user full flexibility to manually select the desired attachments. Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Perhaps it would be possible to use a Item List that would dynamically display all attachments and allow them to be selected?
I have some local groups. In the admin-view (via browser) I see a hour-glass on all local groups (waiting for sycn). This is only in our production stage. All ok in the development stage. 1) Business-Rule "CURRENT USER IS ONE OF" or "USER IS ONE OF" are not evaluated correctly (returning always false, even the user is member) => works perfect in dev-stage 2) "GROUP MEMBERS" is returning all members correctly 3) Task assignment including email (standard) seems to work ok => this is happenin (...)
Hi everyone, I have two questions regarding the description feature of Form Fields, which is typically shown via the small info icon (the little “i”) on mouse-over. 1. Form Field description visibility and placement In one of my forms, I’m using a large input field, and the info icon appears very small and all the way to the right. It’s barely visible and often overlooked by users. Ideally, I’d like to have the icon closer to the field label, or make it larger or more noticeable. Altern (...)
Hello, is there an option to present answer (single choice) from choice list on report ? Thank you
2 examples: 1. We have a BPS group "BPS WEBCON DEV ADMINS" (3 members). If I use these group as "Business Administrators", then this is not evaluated for the Analytics-Views (all analytics reports are hidden for them). If I add these members as user to "Business Administrators" it is working as expected. 2. I have reduced the privileges for a certain report. If I use a BPS Group, this is also not evaluated (Report not visible for group-members). However, if I add these users directly in th (...)
Hi, Is it true that the Business Administrator role is required to view the analysis (Overview, Heatmap, etc)? If that's the case, then I have a bigger problem. Since the metrics are relevant for our process managers, for example, or even for department or division heads, I would have to assign them the role of business administrator. This would also allow them to delete workflow instances from the productive system or work in administration mode.... => Big no-go Kind Regards Ernst
Hi everyone, I’m currently working with a WEBCON environment and exploring the possibility of moving only the OCR component to a separate dedicated machine, while keeping the rest of the WEBCON environment on the current server. The main reason for this is that the CPU load on the current server is very high, likely due to the OCR processes, and we want to offload this to improve overall performance. Does anyone have experience or know of any guides, best practices, or documentation on (...)
Hi! is there a way to sort the steps in the KPI report by their order in the workflow? The current alpha-sort makes no sense, imho. (in a different workflow wie use numbers in the steps... like 100 Start, 120 Approval,... but thats only a dirty workaround) Kind regards Ernst
Hi everyone, I’m working on a feature, where single button triggers a set of actions that grants permissions across related parent and child workflows, and delegates active task to other user using REST API. I'm currently facing a frustrating issue with the task delegation API using the endpoint POST /api/data/v6.0/db/{dbId}/elements/{elementId}/admin/tasks/assignment When I use this endpoint via Swagger, the task delegation executes successfully. Here's a sample of the payload that works p (...)
