(...) actions you configured, and keep in mind what ramifications repeating these actions would have. For some actions, executing them again once the workflow instances passes through the trigger one more time will make perfect sense – for others, it will not (e.g. an action that is meant to be triggered once per workflow, regardless of what steps it goes through). When configuring paths that allow y (...)

Using only the identifier allows to enter the value other than the choice field ID – e.g. NIP or vendor ID from an external system. It is also insensitive to display name changes or name forma (...)

They should be particularly closely monitored in terms of query optimization and execution time of procedures. How many instances have ever been found in a specified step – seeing how many instances and how often have gone through a specified step, we can react quickly e.g. when in (...)
(...) After selecting the category, the task is assigned to this person. Task vs Privileges There are situations where the workflow stops at some step for a longer period of time (e.g. the employee wants to receive new equipment). In this situation, the “Equipment” step will be active for a long time and with it the active tasks assigned to the employee. The so (...)

If the item list will display multiple rows on the report, the values of the other normal form fields displayed in the same report will be replicated for each row. The ability to add columns of t (...)

If we configure this picker so that the form field ID (ATT_ID) is returned in the ID field, we can then use it in the attachment generation action. This time in the action configuration it should be indicated that the template comes from the attachment whose ID we will indicate in the SQL query. Fig.15. The action of adding an attachment (...)

Assigning tasks makes sense if the user can fill the necessary data and send form to the next step in a short time . However there are situations where tasks are assigned and instead of improving the work, they unnecessarily complicate it. A good example are processes whose specification requires for a form field (...)
