Hi everyone, this post is for the few how develop processes OnPrem and import them to an WEBCON Apps instance. All others can ignore this post. I just encountered a little problem. If you have business rules with multiple parameters you need to verify that the parameters have been imported in the

Hi Martin, It's just a guess but I believe that you get the error message because the result will be "transformed" to users. Since there is no user object you receive this error. Did you try to combine the two queries so that you retrieve 'normal' persons as well as contacts? If my guess is correc

Hi Fabian, unfortunately, there are some elements on the form which are not available, but there are workarounds. :) In your case I would create a form rule of type JavaScript mode. Add a parameter, and write some JavaScript to hide/ show the attachment element. Afterwards you can use this form rul

Sorry, I forgot about this one. I currently have no access to an environment which uses AD authentication. :) Did you check whether your filter returns any results outside of WEBCON BPS? For example using PowerShell https://lazywinadmin.com/2013/10/powershell-using-adsi-with-alternate.html Or Softe

Hi Martin, my best bet is to create a plugin with "Custom Data Source" Depending on the frequency, how often it is used, it may be better to write the contacts to a custom database and retrieve them from there. Of course this has the drawback, that you need to sync it with the AD. I would probably

If the next/previous buttons get ever implemented, there should also be an option to configure/force field validation.

Hi Fabian, you can use the Hyperlink action to achieve this: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/874 I think I also used the provided functions, see attachment, for this, but I currently don't remember where I used this, so I can't verify it. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, I have a few hints regarding this: - You have to calculate the date using an action on the path itself. I once calculated the value in OnEntry of the step. Unfortunately the timeout is created _before_ the OnEntry actions have been executed. I received an error because the date field was null

Hi Kobina, I have no idea how you setup you field to achieve this, but this is beside the point. :) I've used the following setup, first attachment: - The picker has four options (1) - A business rule contains two of these options, which returns all rows (2) - On the value change a form rule chec

Hi Fabian, it's strange that the policy wasn't changed. Have you executed PowerShell as an administrator when you set the execution policy? I just noticed that you receive an error, when you don't do it. I'm not sure whether a restart of Visual Studio would make any difference. I just stumbled a

Hi Fabian, if you only need this in one step, you could simply break the inheritance. This will allow you to create a completely different layout. I personally hate this option, but there are these cases where you have to fall back to it. The reason why I hate this: You always have to remember tha

I just noticed a small issue. Some characters in the path will prevent the start of the application. After changing the folder name from C:\install\WEBCON.BPS.TranslationImportExport.34 to C:\#install\WEBCON.BPS.TranslationImportExport.34 the .exe chrashes without an error message. Error from eve

Hi everyone, I just stumbled about an action which executions hasn't been logged. The reason is simple, the according checkbox wasn't ticked. If you want to verify that all you actions are logged you can run this SQL statement. It displays all actions which aren't logged. Maybe for a reason or du

Hi Klaus, maybe you can change your procedure to a table-valued function, than you could easily use it in an select statement. An example using one of the provided table-valued functions in the BPS content db: select item from dbo.SplitToTable('a,b,c,d',',') Otherwise you could test this approach,

Hi Andreia, there are multiple options to define the next task owners: - Predefined drop down - Any kind of business rule, something as simple as "Current users" or even an Business Rule which uses and SDK action - From a field - Action on path to create a task For a generic rule I would need the

Hi everyone, the easiest solution for this is to create an e-mail template for each custom mail. The template provides the option to translate all necessary texts. :) This will even allow us to use the translation tool to update the translation texts. Best regards, Daniel

Hi Andreia, Here are my two queries for the move workflow action Moving multiple workflows which may be in different steps: The case checks in which step the workflow is and selects the appropriate path for this step. select WFD_ID, case WFD_STPID when {ST:382} then {PH:576} when {S

Hi everyone, I'm not sure whether I'm the only one, but I got so used to the native spell checking of Windows that I tend to forget to the spelling. Sometimes it happens because I make a mistake and sometimes it happens because of latency or other issues in an RDP session. Currently I'm using the

Hi everyone, I would be glad if the following changes would be implemented: 1. Adding the new Input placeholder 2. In case of data tables the display name should be used instead of the column name. This is especially a problem if the data source is a BPS internal view. WFD_AttChoose1 isn't really

Hi Michał, dictionary processes are not intended to have attachments. But if you only need one, than you could simply switch to to the document template process. As far as I know that's the only real difference. Both can be transferred, the entries exported/imported, GUIDs are kept. :) The only dra
