Hello, I would like to make a suggestion or find solution for branding case. We got customized White Template (as a copy) + we customized coloring of navigation sections by global CSS (setup in System settings in BPS Studio). Result is visible in the attached screenshots. Such coloring works fine for light templates, but not for dark one. And I thought that Additional CSS per template would be a nice feature in the product. And as workaround for now - could you please give me a hint how (...)

While I greatly appreciate the functionalities and flexibility provided by the WEBCON BPS mobile application, many of us find ourselves predominantly using WEBCON BPS on desktop computers due to the nature of our workflows and the complex tasks we perform. However, the mobile application's interface and functionalities do not always translate seamlessly to desktop usage, where the majority of our work occurs. The addition of PWA support would bridge this gap significantly by offering a number (...)

Hello everyone, I have a question. We are migrating Webcon to version 2023. I checked the table [dbo].[AdminAPILogs], and since the last version in 2022, there hasn't been a single log in this table. Has anything changed in the new versions, and do I need to turn on logging into this table somewhere? I have been looking for an answer on the Webcon website and Google, but I haven't found anything

Hi, I'm sorry, if this a duplicate, but I'm not sure if I added it already or maybe someone else. If selecting a value of a choose field from a data source throws and this causes an error, it's not easily possible to see the actual "request" which was used to get the data. There are ways around this: - In case of SQL and you have access to the server you could activate the SQL profiler - In case of rest/soap requests you could add an http interceptor which can be used as a proxy. I (...)

Hi, we have the option to create "child sources", by defining a superior source and a business entity. This way we can use different connections. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/ConnectionsAndDataSource/DataSources/DataSource_RestWebService#3-superior-source This way we can use different connection for the "same" data source. This works fine for reading data. When we want to write data so, it's not so easy any more. For example the "invoke REST Web service" will allow se (...)

Hello everyone, I've got a use case, where users want to make a specific path always redirect them to a specific dashboard. Right now, the returnurl parameter is built dynamically, and we (developers) don't have almost any possibilities to change that behavior (we can create our custom links, so there is some). In most cases it will work like that IF user opened element from the dashboard, but that's not always the case. I'm thinking about 'override returnurl' option on specific path - som (...)

Would be nice to be able to have an action that creates a plain text file from a value programmed similarly to a business rule. This would be useful when creating input for bank transfers and possibly other applicatins that accept plain text file as an input.

Now there are 3 circles showing new tasks, all taks and overdue tasks. In my environment there are tasks that should be marked as postponed - some tasks should be separated from the normal ones, as users intentionally know they will do some task in the future, but don't want to mix these tasks with the current ones. There could be an action that would mark a task as postponed and another one marking as normal. I know that this can be achieved with a variable and grouping, but users like the task (...)

There should be possibility to save all attachemnts from the archived elements in the archived elements report just as in the normal report. I need this possibility badly now! :-)

HI everyone, Since I've started using Date Time picker in applications I'm always confused when using that Time control part. Most of the time I'm pressing Today instead of Close (and i can see same happens for other users), and it's frustrating that i can't type in the hour/minutes with keyboard. 'Today' could be changed to 'Now' - as we are in context of time, and 'Close' would be more readable as 'Confirm'. Pressing arrows with increment of 1 is not great :) I know it is possible (...)

I propose that the "Multiple lines of text" attribute should include an optional checkbox that will activate character counting.

Dear WEBCON Team, currently in reports, the total number of entries is always displayed even when selecting certain entries. Is it possible to add another counting function to see below "count all" and "count selected" entries? Another improvement would be to enable selection across mutiple report pages. Can this be enabled? Best Regards, Lena

Dear WEBCON Team, has anyone else noticed that when you zoom in the WorkFlow designer and press save or leave the tab then re-enter, the zoom is significantly reduced. This seems inconvenient. Is there a setting with which the zoom stays as adjusted per me? Best Regards, Lena

Hi, I've cases where one choose field updates another choose field. If the data source is not a SQL database this can take some time. Setting the first field takes about 1 second, (1) in the attachment. Getting picker search results 540ms Validate picker control 460ms The setting and validation of the target field (2) takes again 1700ms and another 390 ms for executing a form rule. Setting target form field first choose field 1160ms Validate picker control 611ms Setting own target fi (...)

It would be very helpful if excel generating action and data table attribute ability to save as excel could produce an Excel file with or without columns headers. This is sometimes useful, as some external applications accept only data in excel files and no headers.

I was thinking that it is a good thing you can place attributes horizontaly in a group. However in addition there could be something like "number of attributes in a row". An example - when I have 9 attributes in a group and would like to place them in a matrix 3 x 3 (let's say in this case this is the best layout for some purpose) now I have to create 3 groups of 3 attributes and turn off the visibility of group names. My idea is to make system do it by itself. One more advantage is that in Desi (...)

It would be very helpful if one could create a global form rule and webcon would run it on every page load (especially the pages outside of apps as there is no way you could perform anything there now). This way you could force a user to "punch the clock" after logging to webcon (load and start a dedicated workflow) or show some important information after the user logs in.

I have a question: How to create an SQL filter in the "source" section of the report that will show only the column/attribute items indicated in this SQL. The attribute column consists of the dictionary entry ?

MVP

Hi A useful option would be to add the ability to set the horizontal layout of attributes directly in the tab. The same as now it is possible in the group of form fields. Regards.

Hi, I really like the new path authorization feature and we will surely use it. The geolocation is also an interesting addition but if it's used in combination with the path authorization it will created unexpected results. I noticed that the geolocation of the browser is used, even if path authorization with method "application" is used. If this method is used, it would be great to use the location of the device instead. I made two tests, one with and one without active VPN. As expected (...)
