Local BPS groups you can compare with SharePoint Groups WEBCON BPS used ages ago. We are using BPS groups in all of our projects because we are more flexible during developing/testing phase. For example, with AD groups it is almost impossible to test whether users have access to the right workflo

Did you consider the creation of BPS groups for each customer rather than users? For each customer you could have a group for modifying and one for read only permissions and use those on all your workflow elements you need to secure. It would be easier to maintain the members of the groups, tha

Thank you Pawel :)

Which WEBCON BPS Version are you using? I don't know when this feature had been introduced.

There are customers out there, who implement soap-services with query string parameters. The Url often exceeds the length of 255 characters, which is currently the limit in the configurable url for the soap connection (should be extendend with the next release of WEBCON BPS). Whilst additional

We are using WEBCON BPS 2022.1.3.45 and should execute some soap actions to to SAP. System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'. Submitting requests via Postman works fine. It seems to be a probl

Designing Word-Templates is quite straight forward. However to check to look of the final document you have to run the action somewhere in the process. So this can be quite time consuming. Having a preview functionality would add a great value to WEBCON BPS. As we already have the option to loa

There all always questions whether we can change the menu of an application or not. It would be great having a Customnavigtion node under the presentation node. We should be able to create two level menus with an icon and whether the link should open in same tab or a new one.

Please have a look at the concept proposed by Daniel Krüger. https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/path-button-styling As long as we are only able to apply styles to paths this is the best solution.

Hi Ingo Did you try to restart the portal (IIS) and the Webcon Workflow Service? I had a similar exception a couple of times and IIS reset and restart of the workflow service did the trick.

Hi Daniel You're addressing a problem that can be quite troublesome on a running system. It appeared to me once, that after quite a lot of changes, that a text field showed a value i never entered. This was because a previously used field had been removed and later a new field had been mapped t

Hi Martin As we lost the tender, i did not dig deeper into this topic. Maybe i will come back to this in future. There are also questions about how and where to integrate the reports. In my opinion, there are not enough possibilities to extend/customize WEBCON BPS at the moment.

We have the requirement, that text from a rich text enabled multiline field should be displayed in the word document together with its formatting. Does anyone have experiences how this can be achieved?

As you mention that you have thousands of items, start them in batches , otherwise they will all be started within one transaction.... You can do this by using the TOP n in your SQL Statement. Maybe you can start with top TOP 100 or event TOP 50. Depends a bit how long it takes to start a workflo

The pop-up search window gives the possibility to search in a specific field or in all fields. We've found many cases where an "advanced search" mode would be extremely helpful. To achive this, the configuration section of the choice field, should be extended with an additional checkbox column "

Happy to see, that other users have similar requirement as i have. To pop-up window for values is available in within mass actions reports. I raised a users voice about this more than one year ago. It is currently under review. https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/228

Our scenario: We are sending a prefilled pdf document to an external user with the instruction to complete the form and return it together with a copy of the id/passport. Which could be one or more pdfs or images. We've configured a hot-mail-box to check for e-mail having a pdf with a valid bar

You can add the parameter ?menucollapsed=1 to your portal url.

You write "We have to update some columns in a workflow dependent on other columns from the same workflow item". As it is a field of the same workflow item, why don't you use the "Change value of a single field" action? Or configure a rule you call in "Form rule to be executed on value change

I had the same issue, when i had to show elements of two workflows having one or more steps of same name. Then filtering does not work properly even when you've chosen both steps. I ended up to name the steps differently to avoid this problem. @Webcon: Could this be a bug?
