Recurring actions – adding the option to send notifications and, in automation, the option to add them to a recurring action. Currently, such notifications must be created by creating a workflow and then setting a timeout in it.

Adding the option to describe BPS groups when creating them from the administrator panel and editing the description would certainly facilitate knowledge about the use and purpose of the group.

Hi, I'm not sure if there's already a post like this. Notifications about registered suggestions for the app with the option to specify who should receive such notifications, e.g.: - App administrator - Global administrator - Notifications about comments

Hi, when entering a workflow -> Main form -> Attachments section there is an option called 'Related attachments'. This is really useful since it allows displaying attachments from sub-workflows/parent workflows or via SQL and it can save a lot of disk space. The issue is that the related attachments don't appear in the same tab as standard attachments. Users, unless they are aware of the second tab, usually don't even check it and may miss some files. This issue, besides related attachments, a (...)

It often happens that there are timeouts on a form that should be executed, but, for example, someone entered the form editing mode and the timeout could not be executed. Adding a feature similar to the SQL move action for timeouts - finish tasks in admin mode - force undoing user checkout

Hi, Adding configuration in "Start a subworkflow" - attachment categories

Dear Community, Would it be possible to add an icon (such as an arrow, person, etc.) in the “Assigned to” column to indicate when a substitution is enabled (in report view)? For many years, users have found it confusing that items are still shown as assigned to the “original” user even when a substitute is active. While I understand the current logic, adding a small visual marker next to the name would make it much easier to quickly see when a substitution is set. Hope you find it useful (...)

It would be nice to have the PATH_ID as property on the path button elements so we are more easily and relyably able to address them if we need to manipulate them in any way using JS or CSS

Issue: In the attribute matrix view, when many process steps are defined, horizontal scrolling causes the first column with attribute names to scroll out of view. As a result, users lose context and cannot clearly see which attribute they are modifying when working with steps located at the far right. Problem: This creates a usability issue, especially in complex forms with dozens of steps, increasing the risk of making changes to the wrong attribute due to the lack of reference. Recomme (...)

Issue: When a process step has broken inheritance settings (marked in red) in the attribute matrix, hovering over the step name displays the message "Broken inheritance of settings" instead of the actual step name. Problem: This makes it difficult to identify steps, especially when names are similar (e.g., Approval I/II/III), and the limited display space with no text wrapping shows only a truncated version of the name. As a result, users cannot distinguish between steps and may make mistak (...)

Hi, for compliance and data protection reasons it would be great if there would exist more permissions. A junior developer e.g. doesn’t need access to data sources, system settings. An idea would be to have more permission roles for apps, data sources, system settings and so on. It would be nice too to have some kind of environments as they are known in Microsoft’s Power Platform. So different teams could work on their own apps and even create new apps in their environment. It would be (...)

Dear Community, I have an idea to optionally disable email notifications sent to the “Replaced person” during an active substitution period. It could be useful to add a checkbox option like “Hold email notifications during my absence” (see attached file) to enable this feature. What do you think?

Hi, it when the "Incorrect rule configuration" name is thrown, it would really help, if the name object would include the parent object. I currently get this error: Incorrect rule configuration for object "Site". This got me really confused because there wasn't any rule on the field. In the end I found another "Site" which is a column in an item list. Incorrect rule configuration for object "Target sites: Site". Best regards, Daniel

We love the inbuilt analytics features. The give us the opportunity to take a quick look whats going on. Especially for smaller Applications the Advanced Analytics Framework is very useful. Currently a user needs at least the role "Business Administrator". But we do not want to give this high-level access rights (change / delete workflows) to our analysts (department manager, process manager, ....) So a dedicated Role "Analytics" (in combination with read all instances) would be very helpf (...)

Hi, it would be great if an option is added to exclude processes from the analytics overview. I tried to "remove" those by entering a date far in the future for this flag: Limit the scope of analytics data – parameter is used to limit the scope of processed data available in the Analytics reports. If this option is activated, all measures of analytical reports will not be calculated for workflow instances created before the given date. It didn't have any effect. This new flag would ha (...)

It would be nice, if the default sorting would be "as it is configured in the workflow" instead of alpha-sort. See also here: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7461 Thanks & kind regards Ernst

Hi, it would be great if one could use nested application groups instead of a flat list. This way one could create e.g. a group for HR division and 2 child groups for apps for internal (only HR employees) or external (all employees) usage. A hierarchy with three levels should be sufficient. This concept could also be applied for all other objects where groups exist as global form/business rules, data sources, connections, … Kind Regards, Sébastien

Hi, we use the app vsb.actions from vsb/smoodi and would like to give the name another name for internal use because we don't like to use names of vendors for products/services. We now could change the app name in the Designer Studio and with each update of vsb.actions that we import in Studio we would have to rename the app name. It would be nice if there could be an option to set a configurable display name for apps that get displayed in the portal. This way one could use the app vsb.con (...)

Currently, such data sources do not return the system company information, which limits their usability. The lack of this functionality forces users to manually retrieve data using SQL queries, which contradicts the Low-Code platform's principles.

Hi, when using e.g. Invoke REST web service action and using optional form fields as input parameters in the body there is a problem if a form field is empty. The REST call returns BadRequest (400) because of a syntax error. That’s because WEBCON doesn’t set anything in the body. Depending of the chosen body type it would be great if WEBCON would automatically set the correct string. E.g. null if JSON is chosen. Right now one has to set all attribute values in quotes to prevent this and (...)
