In many tasks we need the same info from the current user. So it would be nice, the user have to write down this only once. Preferred into an additional and self-configurable dictionary, that's called via user-icon. In this way the user can run only one instance.
(...) Hi all! I need to create an email alert that will be triggered if a Task Assignment Workflow is created for a specific user. My goal is to check if that user is a User cal (has a Webcon licence) and if not send me an email so I can give the user the access required. I've created a Send custom email and I'm trying to define the execution rule that will be checking the previous statement. My query is (...)
Hi, a user just tried to search for a word through all documents in a report via the report's search panel, using the "Search in Attachments" option. As the hitlist was way too small I got called. I found out that the result only includes instances that have the searched term somewhere in the metadata. If i do a global search I get hundreds of hits - so the documents are properly indexed, and c
HI all, I have a process that will be opened for tax payment. By law, the payments need to be handled until each 20th day for each month. So, the idea is to create a reminder taking that date, so the user does not forget to make the payment. I have a Date of Request from where I pick up the month and year, and I want to set the reminder date as 20th/Month of Request Date/Year of Request Date
Hi, I need to add an event to the AAD group calendar. Webcon uses/is synced with local AD. AD is synchronized with AAD. On the AAD side, an application with API permissions has been added Adding AAD groups and adding users to groups via graph API from webcon works fine. But, for example, if you want to add an event to the group's calendar POST method https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/gro
Hi, in an Azure Active Directory environment it would be great to add an option to the people field which would configure it, whether external /guest users are selectable at all. Default value should be false. A customer worked around this by limiting the selection to a BPS group and adding AAD Groups as members of the group. No external user was a member of the AAD group. Technically t
Hello, I have an equipment initialization process (1) , followed by another process of allocating this equipment to a user (2). I have created a Report - "Equipment allocation" and I want to add a calculated column to this report that brings in the "Series" of the equipment from the Initialization process. I have this query: (select dbo.ClearWFElemAdv(WFD_AttChoose2)[which is the "Se
Hi all! Maybe I didn't read the manual carefully and maybe this question has been asked many times before, but I am asking it anyway ;-) Is there a way in Webcon BPS Portal to start a workflow with anonymous access (without authentication)? What we need here is some kind of public form for new registration of users. This form also should have path authorization, to verify a new registered
Hi, this idea is surely not for the typical WEBCON user but I think everyone of the partners has run into at least one use case where the standard form layout is not enough. Sometime because of some specific requirements or where we wanted to provide additional options to guide the users through a large form. I also tried and failed creating an "advanced validation dialog". I wanted to displ
Hey everyone, I have the following challenge. I'm storing travel expenses in an item list. The expenses could be in various currencies. I'd like to get the exchange rate automatically for each row (because the exchange rate might be different for different dates and currencies). The API GET call is: https://kurs.resenje.org/api/v1/currencies//rates/-- I have in DET_Att6 and the in DET_
Hello, I’m looking for a way to add an attachment within a PowerShell-action. I’m having an action “Run a PowerShell script” where I’d like to add an attachment to the currently running instance with the help of a WebCon REST API call. The problem is that while processing actions WebCon locks down the instance and I couldn’t find a way to make any changes to the process. I use the parameter “
Does Webcon save the time a user stays in a given process step, i.e. the time from entering the step form to moving to the next step or clicking the save button? I want to make a report out of it to calculate KPIs
Is there a simple way to get the URL of the current instance? Use Case: In a specific step a user can create a ticket (via menu action) in a 3rd party app (REST POST). In the request body of the rest call I create the json and want to submit also the url for this instance. Thanks! 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
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
