Hiding Rows in Items Lists

2 4

Hi. I'm looking for a solution to hide rows of a list element depending on the value of a list element column. I.e. for a task list I would like to have the row visible for everyone, until the checkbox "done" ist set "true". I tried with the "Acceptance" function (see Acceptance.png), but the issue is that I can make the column visible for a (single) defined user, but not for multiple users. Any ideas here? The preferred would be a "HIDE ITEM LIST ROW" function in the form rules. Kind regard (...)

No changes to application group headers

DONE 2 1

Hi everyone, I'm not sure with which release the application group headers are transformed to lower case, but could we get rid of it again? I can live with all upper case, but transforming all characters to lower case after the first one is simply not acceptable. - Abbreviations look like word - The corporate design may define how some words are written - It looks like a spelling error. This is even more true in German, all nouns are written with a capital case. This applies to 2021.1.2.101. (...)

Allow management of WEBCON BPS Groups to other users than WEBCON Admins

2 2

The management of BPS groups is only possible for WEBCON Admins. Some customers wish, that they can do this on their own, but we don't wont to give the required rights. We solved this by means of a little helper workflow, that enabled us to configure the BPS group to manage, a responsible person and an itemlist with the assigned users. This works quite nice this way. However, it would be great, when this option would be built-in. Could be either in the same place as for the admin or a widget (...)

Dictionary: Changing type to multi line of field(attribute) Description

2 0

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but whenever I create a dictionary, I replace (hide) the default Description single line field with a new multi line field. Therefore I would suggest to either rename the field to "Short description" or change the default field type. I'm not sure where it's used internally so that it's disabled to change it's type. Best regards, Daniel

WEBCON 2021: Dashboard -> Compact Start Button [cuts off e.g. small 'g']

DONE 2 0

Hi there, this week i used "compact Start Buttons" for the first time. With our windows settings [FullHD, Text Scale 100%], e.g. the small 'g' is cut off a little bit at the buttom. It's no big issue, but a few more pixels in the next version should work perfect. Thanks, Bjoern Poller

SharePoint List style dynamic filtering on views

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

Currently, views do not allow dynamic filtering on views for datetime and people-picker fields. It can be done by extending the query in the datasource. The datasource can only be changed by administrators and designers. For end-users it would by great having the possibility to use placeholders for filtering datetime and people-picker fields. My idea is having placeholders like [now] / [today], which would take the current datetime/date and also [me] for the current user.

Extending the audit trail to views

2 1

We recently had a presentation of WEBCON BPS for a new customer. They came up with the question if not only changes of an element are being kept in history, but also views. So we need to define the definition, what as to be considered as a view. Sometimes you can tell a lot from what you see on a report already, but keeping track of this would be too much in my opinion. The easiest and most pragmatic way to keep track of views would be opening a preview or of course a form. Maybe also viewin (...)

"Usages" options for BPS groups

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

It would be great if there would be a "Usages" options for BPS groups like it exists for the most other objects like Rules, Fields, Action Template, Data sources and so on. I'm already using two workaround 1) I created a constant for each bps group so that I can use this constant wherever possible. Unfortunately there are some cases where this is not possible. For example in a "Person or group" field where the picker is limited to a group. 2) I added the "SearchAllTables" stored procedure to (...)

Add possibility to add step column in mass notification

IN BACKLOG 2 1

Adding possibility to add SQL row as a column could be also a workaround to achieve that. Right now (BPS 2020...434) is is only possible to add instance number from system fields to mass notifications.

Item list: Single row editing improvements

IN BACKLOG 2 1

I have a few suggestions for improving the single row editing experience: 1. Adding a next/previous button to the modal dialog so that you can easily go through the rows. 2. No fixed height for modal dialog. The max height of 400px makes it quite hard use the modal dialog. It would be better if the available space is used. I already added a style overwrite for this. 3. If single row editing is used it would be better to display the icon on the left instead of the right side. Depending on the w (...)

Delay HotHolder import of a file

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

Please add feature to define delay (i.e. 60 seconds) before file gets imported from HotFolder. I have a situation where scanner creates an empty file at beginning of scanning, and WEBCON gets this file before it's complete. I use script to copy files from "temp scan" folder to HotFolder, but such feature directly in WEBCON BPS could bypass this workaround. Any comments and feedback here is more than welcome :)

Changes to export of processes

DONE 2 0

Hi, we have the situation, that some globals and dictionaries are shared between applications. If I export an application all other applications, which use the same dictionaries, are exported too. At least I believe that the dictionaries are the case. This applies to the current version 2020.1.3.441. Of course, I can uncheck the unrelated applications, but this is error prone. In my opinion the applications are not related, if they only share elements defined in system settings, data sources (...)

Adding expression editor to new BPS Portal "coding options"

IN BACKLOG 2 0

Hi, with the introduction of BPS Portal we got a few additional options were we can add "code" and where variables from the expression editor would be useful if not even mandatory. 1. Report - SQL Filter, there are a few variables there already 2. Calculated field in Reports and BPS internal view, no option to use existing variables 3. Report - advanced formatting, no options to use existing variables Why do I think that this would be mandatory? The path example of advanced colouring will ju (...)

Additonal styling capabilities for paths and theme

2 4

Designer Studio gives the possibility to apply additional button styles. Adding the possibiltiy to define additional class attributes on the path properties would make the styling easier. The custom styles could be defined in the new html-field (for every process we would have to define it again) or much better, let it define in the themes editor! Update 06.04.2021 Apparently is now in back-log https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/404/15

Designer: On new step creation a path is added

2 2

Whenever I create a new step in the designer studio, I need to add a path too. The only steps which don't need at least one path are the final paths, which may have already been created by the wizard. So it would save a little bit of time for everyone if there would already be a path. :) Daniel

CLOSED 1 2

Why in 2025 version add (new step) button is missing from General tab and user can only add steps in Workflow designer? Is there any chance that you'll restore it in next version?

Action - Add atachment to another workflow element + add database ID content

NOT NOW 1 1

In the 2025 version, a new feature was added to allow transferring an attachment to another item with the ability to specify the Workflow ID. This functionality operates within the context of the current database. **Proposal for enhancement:** Extend this functionality to include the ability to specify the Content database ID where the Workflow ID is being referenced. This enhancement would be useful for transferring attachments across multiple Content databases, where processes are di (...)

Replace attachments icons

Hi! Any chance you replace the old (PNG) icons shown in the attachments area with the new (SVG) ones (as in the attached image) and reduce the size from 42px to 32px?

WEBCON BPS 2025: "Highlight" Edit button like the "Cancel editing"

IN BACKLOG 1 1

Hi, we got the feedback in the past that the users sometimes don't recognize the Edit button. In WEBCON BPS the "Cancel editing" button is really prominent. Could we get the same design for the Edit button? I'm also wondering whether the "Cancel editing" should be displayed in as it is. In my opinion the cancel editing is not the primary action a use should take on the form. Best regards, Daniel

Improvements for handling large forms (many fields)

NOT NOW 1 2

Hi, if you have a large form with numerous tabs because of to many fields the tab names may become unreadable in BPS 2025 on a desktop pc with 1980x resolution. This could be a little bit improved, if we could render the tabs not only horizontally but also vertically. The question would be whether to display the content of the tab between the current and the next tab or at the end of the tabs. Of course, there could be even other solutions to this, like how it is done in CRM where the (...)
