User Voice

Hi,
we've already got this one on the user voice, although it might be forgotten since the under review is there for some time :)
https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3931?messageid=3931

Can't say how many times i've tried this, would be a great feature, hopefully in the new web designer studio ;)

Hello,
since the new UI we've got much more users on the dark theme of webcon, it brought however a few new challenges with custom colors on controls / lists.

At this moment we are able to set custom css styles - background/text using attribute configuration:
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_StyleAndBehavior

It however lacks the possibility to make the color dependant on the theme, which causes in many cases unreadable text - see attached examples.
In most cases we're just switching colors to have contrast somewhere in the middle to both Webcon themes, so it looks equally ugly on both of them :)

Maybe a possibility to define a custom global css properties through system configuration, and use those properties in those configs would be something possible to implement?
Or from another angle - add possibility to define custom css properties on Theme configuration page?

Hi,

while we can create business rules which act similar to table valued / scalar functions, we can't pass the columns/data to them. The inner business rules are executed before the outer SQL command is executed. This comes in really handy in a lot of cases but also has it's limitation and will require creating repetitive code.

I would suggest the following:

Create a new "type" "SQL function"

Properties would be similar to a business rule:
Name : GetFirstTextPart
Description: Will split the text by the line break character and return the first part of the text. If no line break character is present, the input will be returned.
SQL Command
CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), {Parameter:1}) > 0 THEN LEFT({Parameter:1}, CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), {Parameter:1}) - 1)
ELSE {Parameter:1}
Number of rows to return: First row (scalar function), all rows (table valued)
Parameters:
Name: Input
Description: The complete text with the line break character.

When this is saved a function scalar/table valued is created and the bps_user gains execution permissions.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTextPartEN(@input NVARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN
CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @input) > 0 THEN LEFT(@input, CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @input) - 1)
ELSE @input
END
END


You could then use the variable of this new type like the other business rules
select *, {SQLFunction:1700:<xps><ps><p id="#SQLFunctionParameter:71#" v="Description" /></ps></xps>} as DescriptionEN
, {SQLFunction:1700:<xps><ps><p id="#SQLFunctionParameter:71#" v="Remark" /></ps></xps>} as RemarkEN

Which would resolve to
select *, dbo.GetTextPartEN(Description) as DescriptionEN,dbo.GetTextPartEN(Remark) as RemarkEN

This came only to my mind now, because I'm creating a lot of "repetitive statements" in a few data tables, but when I think back, it would have helped me in a lot of other cases two.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hello,

I propose a change in DEsigner Studio, in action templates. If the ability to create action groups in templates were added, it would make it easier to manage actions in the case where there are more than 10 in the process. It would then be possible to group and arrange actions thematically.

Hi,

a small enhancement in addition to this user voice https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7044 would be to add a * to a group if a containing app is marked with a * because of unsaved changes.

Kind Regards

Hi,

it would be nice if one could not only chose "CREATE RULE" in the context menu of a field supporting rules. An option "CREATE GLOBAL RULE" would be helpful if we want to turn a "local" rule to a "global" one. It is clear that not all options in a "local" rule can be turned to a global one but there are cases where there would be no problem.

Kind Regards
Sébastien

Hi,

this is a great idea. The last login date would be nice too.

Kind Regards

Hi,
I would like to propose to extend the workflow users report in desinger to include either the date of first login or the date of license assignment. This would help in license management for administrators.

Hi Sébastien

My thumbs up on this.
Using powershell scripts is the most efficient way to work around the limitations (e.g. multiple proxyaddresses, resting the manager) of the built-in active directory actions.
Configuring global credentials for powershell is a necessity.
