Action invoke Rest-Service (GET Attachment) in Timer of system-step => Insufficient attachment permissions

2026-05-20T09:31:27+02:00

Okay, I've now solved the problem. Here's the explanation in case anyone else encounters the same issue:There's a filter for (DataSources). This filter is applied to a WHERE clause for the view "V_CachedOrganisationStructure" when saving.The underlying table is CacheOrganisationStructure (which contains all users and groups).If the service user (in our case, "Serviceuser Webcon") is not included in the view, it cannot be added to an app permission.I have now added this service user to the filter and subsequently granted them permission in the app.From this point on, all REST downloads in this app work as expected.

REST API call escaping Base64 forward slashes in JSON payload

2026-05-20T08:32:32+02:00

Hi Martin! Thanks for the feedback. In 2025.2.1.321 this method works. It is a really bad new if it does not work in version 2026 anymore. I think being able to use RAW format for fields and even for Business rule results is a must have. I hope Webcon support will help you to solve it. Please keep me posted if you have solution. Thanks!

It was a good idea to check the new templates because it works now. So the ones I got from the client were somehow broken.Thanks for the help, Martin.

REST API call escaping Base64 forward slashes in JSON payload

2026-05-19T19:26:07+02:00

Hi Peter,OK, so Im not crazy after all. I actually remembered doing exactly this in the past, but this time it simply isnt working.Im currently on version 2026.1.6.209. Not sure if this is related to the latest version or something else, but RAW mode does not seem to help anymore.Interestingly, I can get the Base64 string without escaped characters if I populate an item list via SQL. However, the moment I populate a multiple lines of text field (technical field), the escape characters (\/) are added again.Thats why I started wondering whether something changed in recent versions or if Im missing something obvious.

We investigated this further and can now narrow the problem down much more precisely.Environment:WEBCON BPSAutomation executed by:Timer action on system stepalso reproducible via path actionAction type:Invoke REST Web serviceCurrent findings:The same Invoke REST action works correctly when executed manually from a menu action.Timer actions CAN create attachments in general.Example:"Convert Word to PDF" works correctly via timergenerated PDF is attached successfullyStandard REST calls via timer also work correctly.Example:GET/POST returning JSON/text works fineThe problem only occurs when:Response body type = Binaryand the response is stored as attachmentThe problem is reproducible independently from Dracoon/S3.We created a very simple Domino/XPages test endpoint which:authenticates via Basic Authstreams a PDF attachment directly to the HTTP responseno OAuthno redirectsno external cloud provider involvedResult:manual execution => workstimer/path execution => failsError:Invoke REST Web service - Request Url: https://app1.hypo.web/volt/resttools.nsf/download.xspExceptions: Insufficient attachment permissionsImportant:This does NOT appear to be a general attachment permission issue, because timer actions can successfully generate and attach PDFs.It currently looks more like a problem specifically in the HTTP binary download -> attachment persistence path when executed in automation/timer context.Can you confirm whether:binary response handling behaves differently in timer contextthere are known limitations with streamed/chunked HTTP responsesor whether this is a known issue in Invoke REST Web service?Thanks,Ernst

REST API call escaping Base64 forward slashes in JSON payload

2026-05-19T08:48:08+02:00

Hi Martin!Update your body json content into a technical field. In the REST api call action refer the techical field in RAW mode. (right click on field)We use this method a lot, this is the only workaround I found. It is annoying that you cannot switch off adding escape chars to a business rule result I hope it help you.BRPeter(Webcon team: please make it possible to to switch off char escaping in BR, or at least to use RAW mode for local variables in automation , as well!)

REST API call escaping Base64 forward slashes in JSON payload

2026-05-19T07:55:38+02:00

Hi everyone,Im facing a challenge when calling a REST API from WEBCON and Im hoping someone has encountered something similar.The API expects the payload in the following format:{ "InterchangeToken": "NEWABC123", "SupplierInvoiceCheck": { "SupplierCode": "string", "SupplierDocumentNumber": "string", "SupplierDocumentDate": "2026-05-18T16:22:35.392Z", "InvoiceEntityType": "PassiveInvoice", "TotalTaxableAmountToCheck": 0, "TotalInvoiceAmount": 0, "ChangeRate": 0, "TaxableIRPFAmount": 0, "TotalIRPFAmount": 0, "IsBlocked": true, "ReversalDocumentNumber": "string", "ReversalDocumentDate": "2026-05-18T16:22:35.392Z", "AccountingRegistrationDate": "2026-05-18T16:22:35.392Z", "AccountingMovementYear": 0, "AccountingMovementNumber": 0, "AccountingMovementID": "string", "CreatedByUserID": "string", "AssignmentByUserID": "string", "BranchCode": "stri", "CurrencyCode": "EUR", "IRPFCode": "string", "PaymentTermCode": "str", "AccountingReasonCode": "string" }, "DocumentAttachments": [ { "DocumentContentExtension": ".PDF", "DocumentContent": "", "DocumentDescription": "", "DocumentNumber": "", "DocumentDate": "", "DocumentType": "string" } ]}Everything works fine until I need to send more than one document in DocumentAttachments.The issue is with DocumentContent, which is expected to be a Base64 string. No matter which approach I try, WEBCON escapes forward slashes (/) into escaped slashes (\/) in the JSON payload, which causes the receiving API to reject the request.Ive already tried multiple approaches:- Direct SQL query- Business Rule- Populating a technical field- Storing attachment data in an item list- Building the JSON in different waysIn all cases, the same escaping happens.Has anyone dealt with this before or found a workaround using out-of-the-box WEBCON functionality? Ideally, Id like to avoid using PowerShell or a custom intermediary service, although PowerShell is still an option if theres no clean alternative.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Issue with page numbering in "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action

2026-05-18T18:29:51+02:00

Hi Daniel,I dont think this is a WEBCON issue, but rather related to how the Word templates are configured. Could you check whether the page numbering is set up correctly in the template?Header/Footer Page Number Format Page Numbers Page numberingIt should be set to:Continue from previous sectioninstead of:Start at 1This is often the reason why page numbering resets after merging documents.

Issue with page numbering in "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action

2026-05-18T12:46:47+02:00

Hi everyone,I am experiencing an issue with the "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action.When I use this action to merge multiple Word documents (.docx) into a single file, the page numbering in the resulting document is generated incorrectly. As a result, the final document does not have a continuous page sequence (for example, the page numbering restarts from 1 at the beginning of each merged section).I need the final, merged document to have consecutive, continuous page numbering from start to finish.Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, did you find a workaround or a specific configuration in Word/Webcon to fix this?I would appreciate any help or advice on how to resolve this.Best regards,Daniel

Conditional logic in Word DOCX templates

2026-05-11T08:37:11+02:00

Hi Arek,Another workaround I use in my projects:You can use Words built-in IF field functionality directly in the DOCX template to wrap entire blocks or even WEBCON item lists. Ive attached a screenshot from one of my templates to show how it looks in practice.In this example, I use a business rule that returns the count of approvers. The logic is:{ IF "{Get Genehmiger count}" "0" "Display Table and Heading" "" }As you can see in the image, the entire table and the "Genehmiger:" heading are placed inside the "True" part of the Word IF statement. If the count is "0", the whole block simply doesn't appear in the generated document.Best regards,Maryna

Public REST API and times (zones)

2026-05-10T21:11:40+02:00

Hi Franek,thank you that you took the time to investigate it and confirm the behavior. I also wasn't able to confirm how it looks like in the UI, as the servers and my client share the same settings. I will test it tomorrow, when I'm copying the solution to the customer environment which is using UTC time zone for the server, as I would have expected it. :)Best regards,Daniel

Public REST API and times (zones)

2026-05-10T16:23:33+02:00

I have run some tests and I havent found a simple solution or fully tested solution ;) The Webcon public API always returns datetime values in the servers local time zone (as you mentioned). I think webcon unfortunately, works that way. I assume that the client consuming the Webcon API is custom code that you fully control, so I think you could theoretically do something like this:1. Get the time offset from Webcon by making an API GET request that returns an element with a datetime attribute. This can be a onetime operation, and you can store the Webcon time offset locally on the client side.2. Calculate the datetime that needs to be stored in Webcon and send it via an API POST request.3. Get the datetime attribute from Webcon via an API GET request and convert it to the clients local time.//client local timezoneTimeZoneInfo clientZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local;1. //get time offset from webcon from some element via api getvar dto = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2026-04-23T10:00:00+09:00");TimeSpan webconOffset = dto.Offset;Console.WriteLine(webconOffset);2. //post datetime to webconvar data = "2026-04-23T15:20:00";//datetime that must be stored in the webcon. DateTime clientLocal = DateTime.Parse(data);DateTime clientUtc = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(clientLocal, clientZone);//convert datetime to the webcon local. That value should be sent via api poststring webconLocal = (clientUtc + webconOffset).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"); Console.WriteLine(webconLocal);3. //get data from webconvar webconDateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2026-04-23T22:20:00+09:00");DateTime webconUtc = webconDateTime.UtcDateTime;clientLocal = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(webconUtc, clientZone);Console.WriteLine(clientLocal);I have not tested how the datetime attribute will be presented on the portal or whether it will have the correct value.

Public REST API and times (zones)

2026-05-09T19:12:47+02:00

Hi Franek,thanks for the feedback. That was exactly the approach I wanted to use.This is the time I send via the REST API (patch/post)"value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05Z"But this is the time which is returned via the API (get)"value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05+02:00"Which is not what I had expect and comparing the dates obviously returned false. Which is the reason for my post. :)Best regards,Daniel

Public REST API and times (zones)

2026-05-09T18:45:09+02:00

Hi, I present some other perspectives outside Webcon. I have built several web applications and I have always saved datetime values in UTC without a timezone due to the issues you mentioned. On the frontend, I calculated the correct local datetime depending on the clients timezone. You only need to remember that the datetime stored in the database is saved in UTC, and the rest should be handled on the frontend. You can also store the client's time zone in a text column if you need to do timerelated calculations on the backend.This approach worked well for me.

Public REST API and times (zones)

2026-05-08T20:21:59+02:00

Hi everyone, whenever you are working with times you are bound to run into issues. I think this has and will be a permanent truth when working with computers. I currently "just" want to write a date time to an item list column and won't to return the same value. Seems simple, but time zones are proving to be a problem.For the column "Enable time selection" and "Use time zone settings" has been enabled.I'm updating the workflow instance with this value:{ "guid": "0e8c5c68-7f88-43a2-b5ff-0d91e4eb051c", "value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05Z" },This represents 9:06:05 UTC on my client this equals 11:06:05 local time (UTC+1:00 Amsterdam, Berlin...)In the database it's saved with this time:2026-04-23 09:06:05When I'm fetching the element again via REST API i get this result: { "id": 331, "guid": "0e8c5c68-7f88-43a2-b5ff-0d91e4eb051c", "svalue": "2026-04-23T09:06:05.0000000+02:00", "value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05+02:00"},This represents 7:06:05 UTC / 09:06:05 local time (UTC+1:00 Amsterdam, Berlin...)The SQL server and WEBCON share the same machine and for whatever reason the time zone is also set to (UTC+1:00 Amsterdam, Berlin...). The global parameter is also set to the equivalent time zone:PRM_NamePRM_ValueDatabaseTimeZoneW. Europe Standard TimeIt sems, that the saved date time value is treated as local time of the server and the time zone offset is just added. While this makes sense to agree. It doesn't make sense when that the send UTC time is not converted to the local time. Am I missing something or has someone a better idea on how I can utilize the public API and get the correct time?It can't be, that the client has to send the times in the time zone the server is running. How should a consumer of the REST API know this?Edit:Current workaround, which I don't like at all:# For some reason WEBCON does return the send UTC time with the time zone offset$savedModifiedDate = [datetime]::Parse($modifiedDateCell.value.substring(0, 19) + 'Z') Best regards,Daniel

Hi all,Im running into a strange issue with SharePoint integration in WEBCON and wanted to check if anyone else has seen something similar.Im using Azure App with certificate-based (app-only) authentication (SharePoint API, Application permission: Sites.ReadWrite.All with Admin Consent, not delegated). What worksConnection to SharePoint worksGeneral communication worksFolder creation in document library works What doesntWhen using Add an attachment to a list, the file upload fails with:401 Unauthorized Logs / detailsFrom WEBCON:Execute WCFCsomService .../AddAttachmentToSPListError in On path action Add attachments to Extranet (Step: Signing Prepare for mailing)The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.Stack trace:System.Net.WebException: (401) Unauthorizedat Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SPWebRequestExecutor.Execute()at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinary(...)at WebCon.WorkFlow.CSOM.Sharepoint.AddAttachmentToSPListCsomProxy.AddToDocumentLibrary(...)

Timer vs Comment required

Thats what I've tried. Action Change field value [System] comment.

Timer vs Comment required

2026-04-30T15:08:16+02:00

Hi Ernst,while I haven't tried it you could add an action to the timer which set's the comment.Otherwise you could use this approach to check in a validate action if the user added a new comment:Get current comment https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/current-commentI'm not sure, whether this still works in the latest version. I don't see any other option beside the already mentioned option to create new paths. Would still be better then adding a flow control, which handles the "is system user" and executes a path with/without comment required. :)Best regards,Daniel

Timer vs Comment required

2026-04-30T12:26:44+02:00

I have a Step with a "cancel" path. On this path I have enabled "comment required" => User always should enter a comment if he is cancelling the workflows.Now I have a "housekeeping" timer in that step. The timer exections an action (Change field value => [System]Comment) and has path transistion after action execution "cancel"=> Timer throws an error: field validation "Comment" on path "cancel".1. idea:I make a special cancel-path for the timer => problems:* I have more such steps => would result in many workaround paths* Some cancel path do have flow-control behind, to determine the correct final step2. Idea:I disable "comment required" in that path and create a form-rule which checks if the user is a real user or the system-user. Then checking the comment => found no way (via form-rule) to check if the user has entered a comment or not. Could be doable via JS I guess, but want to avoid that.Any solutions, ideas?Thanks Ernst

Have you checked the layout inheritance on those specific steps yet? Id double-check if they are inheriting from the global form or if there's a "Custom layout" override active for the steps where the old instances are stuck.If inheritance looks fine, try to "kick" that field or group in the attribute matrix, saving the process, and then turning it back on and saving again. Maybe that will help.

I have this strange issue, at least second time. Not sure if I had it on pre 2026.1.6.198 builds. When I move a field (or a group) on the form in Designer studio, for example from left to bottom section, on existing workflows it's still in the "old" place. When I start a new one, it's in the new place. So existing instances are stuck with old layout. See attached - same moment, new instance and old-saved one. Two different layouts.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a sensible way to edit those fields directly once the table has been generated.Whenever I need to make a changes, like adding a new column or renaming things I usually find its much faster to just delete the old table and insert a new one with the correct settings.Technically, you can try selecting a column header as an individual element and editing it that way, but its not very user-friendly and often ends up being more trouble than it's worth.

Thank you. I understand there's no way to do this directly in the template. But there are a few workarounds we can use.By the way, do you know how to edit the settings of an inserted list of elements? When adding the list of elements options in the dialog box, we can select columns, order, etc. After clicking OK, a table appears in the document. Is there a way to edit the settings of such a table? For example, changing the order of columns, adding a column?

Conditional logic in Word DOCX templates

2026-04-27T13:10:01+02:00

Hi Arek,You can handle conditional logic in .docx templates using these two methods:Business Rules with SQL logic: This is the easiest way to display conditional phrases or paragraphs. Create a Business Rule (SQL type) that returns either the desired text or an empty string ('') based on your criteria.Then, just place the rules tag in your Word template where you want the text to appear.Dynamic Template Selection: If the documents differ significantly (e.g., a different contract for individuals vs. companies), it's better to prepare separate .docx templates.

Choice Field behaviour if value is not in the source

2026-04-25T15:30:34+02:00

Hi Klaus,if you are setting the value form an action you could test to set the value in the 'id#Display name' format and deactivate the 'Validate the typed values'. If the user enters the data it will (should) still be validated because it's not in the expected format.Best regards,Daniel

Choice Field behaviour if value is not in the source

2026-04-24T16:46:51+02:00

Hi there.I'm struggling with the behaviour of choice fields (especially if I start a workflow element via SQL) if the value put into the field is not in the data source or not distinkt.I remember that in earlier Versions it would have started the new element, highlighted the value with red underlining and refused to go on, unless a valid value was entered, but the element has been created and the "wrong value" was in there.Nowadays it will give an error, not create the new item and do a rollback.Is there any way to tell the field to accept (besides switching the mode by clicking on the pen which doesn't work automatically) that value ?Thanks for any hint!Kind regards, KlausVersion 2025.2.1.274

Report calculated column fails using external database (linked server)

2026-04-22T12:42:43+02:00

Hi everyone,Im running into an issue with calculated columns in a WEBCON BPS report and Im wondering if anyone has faced something similar or found a workaround.I have a report based on some workflow, and Im trying to add a calculated column that returns the value related to a given element in report. The value is stored in a table located on another SQL Server (linked server), which is already connected to the WEBCON database.I tried using a query like this:SELECT ValueFROM [serverX].[Mydatabase].[table]JOIN [serverY].[WEBCONdatabase].[dbo].[WFElements]ON key = WFD_AttInt1However, the report fails with a generic error:Failed with an unknown exception Error during saga executionEven simpler SELECTs against the linked server dont seem to work in calculated columns.My questions:Are linked servers / cross-server queries supported in calculated columns in reports?Is there any limitation on JOINs or external data sources in this context?How do you usually handle cases where report data needs to come from another database/server?Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Hi,nice idea too with SQL.But how do you link user groups to different steps? Do you really want to define this statically in the SQL query? Its not that nice having to change such things (in the case of new workfkows, steps) in the Studio instead of the portal, is it?Or do you want to read out the assignees of the task of the step with SQL too without manual definition?If you have multiple paths entering one step you could check if there already has been a task created in this step if the instance and if yes assign the same user and if not use your round robin, couldnt you?And what if you dont want a static alphabetical order? You would need a kind of switch to have different cases in the SQL query.Im looking forward to your solution. Kind regardsSbastien

Export from EXCEL attachmnets to ITEM LIST SDK

2026-04-10T22:07:46+02:00

Hi,I've no clue how to write a SDK plugin yet. I'm interested in the answer too.My alternative approach is to use PowerShell Universal (PSU). As you already seem to have the *.xlsx file in WEBCON through its upload this may not be a good way to use an external system instead of using an internal SDK plugin. So this doesn't answer your SDK question but maybe it's fitting other use cases for you or others too. With PSU you can just put your PowerShell scripts in there and get a REST API endpoint for each script. The endpoint can get invoked in WEBCON BPS. That's the way how I e.g. read *.csv and *.xlsx files (from other systems) and just transform them to a JSON object that I return from the endpoint. You can have a look here if you want to get more details: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/external-powershell-via-rest-api-endpoints-with-support-for-return-of-parameters/567/18Kind regardsSbastien

If it didn't work, the most common couse is invisible leftover tags. Here is what you should try:Clear the entire area (watch out for invisible elements). Sometimes, when you delete a previously inserted Webcon element, invisible formatting or partial tags remain "underneath" and break the document structure, even if the space looks completely empty. Delete the entire thing where the old code was and then insert the Picture Content Control again.Make sure the new Picture Content Control is actively clicked/highlighted at the exact moment you double-click the "Handwritten signature" field in the WEBCON panel, but i see that you have that. You can check the second picture to see exactly how it should be selected.

Hello,This issue is a known problem related to PortalService communication when it is configured to use TCP/IP with certificates. In this mode, the Portal and Service accounts do not have full Windows user profiles, which means they cannot properly access the certificate store, causing file not foundtype errors when the system tries to create the certificates object representation.The issue is already identified and will be fixed in version 2026.2.For now, the recommended workaround is to switch the communication mode to WCF.

Hi Phil,To display the signature instead of the raw code, the field must be mapped to a Picture Content Control in Word. Here is how it works for me:1. Enable the Developer tab in Word (if it's hidden)Go to File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon.In the list of Main Tabs on the right side, check the Developer checkbox and save the changes.2. Insert a Picture Content Control:Place your cursor in the document where you want the signature to appear.Go to the Developer tab.In the "Controls" section, click the Picture Content Control icon (a small icon depicting a landscape). A blank picture frame will appear in the document.3. Bind the Webcon field to the picture control:Select the newly inserted picture control in the document (simply click on it).In the WEBCON BPS plugin side panel, locate the appropriate "Handwritten signature" field.With the control active (selected) in Word, add the field from the Webcon panel (usually, it is enough to double-click it or select the mapping option).

Thank you for the ideas!I'm much more in favor of the 2nd one, as it scales better, no limit for the size of the group, although it tricked my brain into thinking that it could be also possible to achieve without any additional forms, just an SQL statement should do the job too.We're able to fetch the tasks that are assigned from WFTasks, and search tasks just for specific process/workflow/form, by joining with WFElements, WFDocTypes, WFSteps, WorkFlows.The order of assigning the tasks would be alphabetical, so i can just go with give me the last person from group x, who had a task in step y. This gives me the position to who should get the task next Although by implementing it this way would require that there is only one path assigning the task, so the order won't get messed up.

Ok, then I would create a dictionary with let's say 10 user picker fields and a field containing the next userbpsid and an int field to just save 1 to 10.Create only one instance for one entry of the dictionary and disable all "New" buttons.With a business rule you can then just get the userbpsid for the direct assignment and set the next userbpsid field of the dictionary entry with an automation on entry of the step.To get the round robin working you need to do a concat ot the attribute table names "WFD_AttChoose" and the valueof the int field containing 1 to 10. If the field is empty you need an automatic to the next and after 10 a jump back to 1.Or you create a default process with only one instance and use an item list there with the column for the user picker and a column with a checkbox as flag for the next assignee user. To set the next assignee you just need to disable the checkbox of the current row id with active checkbox and enable the checkbox of row id + 1 with the same logic to jump back from the last item list entry to the first one.What do you think about it?

Moving BPS groups

2026-04-02T09:19:59+02:00

Hi,I noticed that after migrating BPS groups with a package, the group owner field appeared blank (grayed out). I click "Add" and can specify a person, but this grayed-out line needs to be manually deleted.Furthermore, if I didn't set a group owner, the save failed (the system cleared the group name and ID) and nothing happened.After a while, I accessed these BPS groups, and the group owner field cleared out and the field is blank.Do you have this problem too?I have version 2026.1.4.131.

Force Entra ID login and force login page

2026-03-31T13:56:34+02:00

Hi,having e.g. local AD and Entra ID enabled as authentication providers a user gets a page with the WEBCON logo and two buttons for Local AD oder Entra ID login.Is there any way to force always Entra ID login? And if yes, is there any way to force this login page if e.g. an admin user (not existing in Entra ID) wants to use local AD as authentication provider? This could be e.g. a query parameter:?forceLoginPage=true.Kind regardsSbastien

System.FormatException when mapping REST API JSON response to fields

2026-03-31T10:25:25+02:00

Update: There has been a bad return in the script that screwed the things up.#Hi,I have a REST API endpoint in PowerShell Universal with the following code for the response:[code] $result = [PSCustomObject]@{ result = [PSCustomObject]@{ htmlLog = $html } isError = $isError #BOOL errorCode = $errorCode #INT errorMessage = $errorMessage } $json = $result | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 -Compress return $json[/code]Mapping the response attributes to form fields (isError as bool and errorCode as int) throws these exceptions after the invoke:- System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.- System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. Can anyone help on how to set the configuration in the response tab to get it to work?Kind regardsSbastien

Yes, I tried update attachment action but what it does, it keeps the extension.So If I have. filename.eml which I would update to filename.msg I'm ending up with filename.msg.emlHow can o do it with Powershell? I tried following DB logic, but it's in so many places.

Hi Patryk,if just changing the file extension solves your matter have you already tried the update attachment action? Inside a for each of an automation you could use it for bulk renaming.You can change the name of the attachment in this action. Just use a REPLACE with the original name and .eml and .msg as parameters.Documentation:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_ModifyAttachment#4-attachments-dataAnother approach would be a full email conversion e.g. with PowerShell.Kind regardsSbastien

For each with item list and columns collection behavior

2026-03-27T11:59:56+01:00

Hi,I have an automation with a for each and selected "item list" as collection type with an item list (let's say A) of the form.Now I expected to get all columns shown under "Columns collection" in the "Values" tab. But there is no entry for it. After searching a while I found the entry of this item list A under "Form fields" as the only item list.Why don't you just keep the same logic as it is for the collection types "any collection" and "data source" where the "Colums collection" gets displayed? This would be more intuitive imho.Moreover it seems to be "previewed" from a technical perspective. Follow these steps to reproduce the behavior:1 Create for each with "any connection".2 Add an action and use the entry "Value" under the entry "Columns collection"3 Click OK and go back to the place where the for each is located4 Switch the collection type to "item list" and select one5 Go to the action where you've chosen the entry "Value" as before in point 2.> The entry [Columns collection | value] is still there and referenceable as there is no dashed line indicating a broken reference. The value seems to always return EMPTY. No error is occuring.I would suggest to show the item list's columns under "Columns collection" instead of "Form fields" and to display the broken reference as broken one with dashed border.What do others think about it?Kind regardsSbastien

Prevent task creations depending of environment

2026-03-27T07:31:58+01:00

Hi Daniel,thanks for your reply.I'll try a better explanation:We have a workflow that get's started every day. The workflow checks if all entries of a dictionary with organizational units have a user assigned from the HR division to the specific OU. If there is no assigned HR user an email gets sent (every day) to inform that an assignee is missing for the given OU(s). Later instead of an email there will be a task. Having this workflow on dev, test and prod generates always this email. On dev wie catch all emails to our dev mailbox. But on test and prod the mails get sent to the recipients.I don't really like to disable the cycle on environments as there are other workflows not only checking a state but really doing a sync from external data to e.g. a dictionary. Moreover we have always to remind on export and import to switch on the cycle on the specific environment what is prone to errors. If any error occurs during a sync a task gets generated for the BPS devs to check the failure and document it with a comment before closing the task.I want to prevent having this task on prod, dev and test. Having it on prod is the place I want it to have and to complete the task. Having the task also on test and dev gets annoying. If the workflow isn't deployed on prod yet but on test the task shall be created on test only but not on dev. And if its not deployed on prod and test too I want it only on dev.- Deactivate the global action/add a condition when the workflow should be started > The workflow needs to be started on all environments because of sync automations. So this is no option.- Activate deployment mode for the process to redirect all mails, if this is the annoying part. > The mails on test and prod must be sent to the specified recipients - but only from the "most deployed" workflow. So this is no option either.I have now a Flow Control that checks if the current environment is equal to the "most deployed" environment of the workflow. If yes the path leads to an intermediate step for the creation of the task. If not the path directly leads to the negative end step. I've attached the WF model. The intermediate step for the BPS-Admin is the "Check failure reason" task and to document it with a required comment before going to the negative end step.We have a global constant with breaking inheritance that returns 3 for dev, 2 for test and 1 for prod environment. The business rule checks if the process GUID also exists on test or even prod and returns the environment ID of test or even prod if the process GUID is found there.I'm wondering if there is a better approach for doing this.Kind regardsSbastien

Prevent task creations depending of environment

2026-03-26T21:26:32+01:00

Hi Sbastien,I have to admit, I dont understand the issue.In general a process should behave the same in each environment. If you sometimes want to have a task and sometimes not, you would need a flow control as intermediate steps always need a task. If you dont have separate environments for the external system or you need to use the same data, I dont see why you wouldnt want handle the issue in case of an expected error. If the error is causes due to outdated data and you dont want to update it on dev/test, I would:- Deactivate the global action/add a condition when the workflow should be started- Activate deployment mode for the process to redirect all mails, if this is the annoying part.Best regards,Daniel

Prevent task creations depending of environment

2026-03-26T10:44:11+01:00

Hi,imagine a workflow with on start (cyclical) automation that starts the workflow itself. This can be a sync of an external data source with a dictionary. If the sync returns an error a step for error validation gets entered. Having this on dev, test and prod would then generate a task on all environments.I expect to have a task creation only in production environment if the process already exists on prod. If the process only exists on test and dev I expect the task creation only on test. And if only on dev then the task on dev.Have you already found a way how to prevent a task creation on the "lower" environments?One first idea would having 3 MSSQL connections for all 3 environments. Then a MSSQL data source for each connection that gets process information, mainly the process GUID and then a business rule managing where this process GUID can be found across all environments. We have a global constant environment ID with breaked inheritance return 3 for dev, 2 for test and 1 for prod.I'm looking forward to your (better) suggestions.Kind regardsSbastien

Data source filter with 2 data source columns comparison

2026-03-26T07:00:55+01:00

Hi,I have a MSSQL data source with a column newHash that get's created by HASHBYTES and VARCHAR(64) in the SQL query of the data source over some other columns to check if there is a value updated. This hash gets stored in the dictionary entry together with all other values. In the same query I also add the column with the diHash of the associated dictionary entry.When doing a daily sync between data source and dictionary I'd like to compare both columns newHash and diHash. This is used in the filter of the for each using this MSSQL data source.In the normal editor using [Data source columns | newHash] [Data source columns | diHash] leads to the SQL code (N[newHash] [diHash]). The "N" causes the error "Incorrect syntax near 'newHash'".When using the advanced filter the generated SQL code is diHash newHash and the query runs fine.May it be possible to get the same behavior in the standard filter editor as well?Kind regardsSbastienPS: This is the SQL code that generates the new hash if anybody would like to use this too: CONVERT(VARCHAR(64), HASHBYTES('SHA2_256', CONCAT( ISNULL(DEF_Name, ''), ISNULL(DEF_Acronym, ''), ISNULL(DEF_Description, ''), ISNULL(DEF_Supervisor, ''), ISNULL(DEF_TSUpdate, ''), ISNULL(app.APP_GUID, ''), ISNULL(agr.AGR_GUID, '') ) ), 2) AS NewHash

Business rule in html template

2026-03-26T06:42:51+01:00

Hi Maciej,yes, you can enable the option "Switch all editors into advanced edit mode" and then you get the reference code in the format #{BRD:xxxx}#. xxxx is the normal ID and not the GUID. Unique GUID is needed if you have artifacts across environments like a document template because the normal ID isn't unique across environments.When you are in the normal edit mode you just have to do a right klick on the business rule and you can choose "Parameters mapping".You can see everything in the screenshot.Kind regardsSbastien

Hi, # Public APIPlease take a look at these endpoints in Public API:- /elements/resolveFieldValue/{idguid} - /elements/{id}/resolveColumnValue/{idguid}Both return a list of possible values for a given picker form field {idguid}. The second does it in the context of a given element {id} - returns what is possible to select in a given field on a specific element. There is also a variant for doing that on item lists columns - resolveColumnValue# API DefinitionThe other option is to use API Definitions. You can create one, that returns data from a given data source.

Hi everyone,I have a case with WEBCON BPS 2026 and a REST integration.I need to call an external API that requires a client certificate (PFX / mTLS). Everything works in Postman, but in WEBCON I cant find how to pass the certificate.Currently Im using:-REST Web Service connection-Authentication: Anonymous-HTTPS + JSONI dont see any option for:-client certificate- selecting from Windows store-or using a thumbprintHas anyone faced something similar?Does WEBCON support mTLS for outbound REST calls at all, or is Custom Authentication / SDK required?Any guidance or examples would be appreciated.

Get all ChoiceList values using API

2026-03-24T07:27:43+01:00

Hi Arek,do you want all entries of a data source that could be selected in a choice picker field or do you want the selected values in a choice picker field of a workflow instance?To read the selected values of a choice picker field of a workflow instance you can use this elements endpoint:https://developer.webcon.com/docs/basic-operationshttps://developer.webcon.com/docs/workflow-instanceshttps://developer.webcon.com/docs/2020.1/form-fields-and-item-lists/If you want to get all values of a data source I dont know an endpoint for it.A workaround could be to do a simple process wrapper with an item list and the needed columns that gets initialized with a data source. A path out- and incoming to the Start step could reinitialize the item list.Once youve an instance and after going the reinitialization path you can read it out as above.You could also create a JSON output and an own user api endpoint.Maybe there are some better ways? But I hope to give you a possible solution.Kind regardsSbastien

(screenshot)- Using "JOB" returns only the expected processes containing JOB > This works fine for the filter but the list could also contain processes that don't contain [JOB] with brackets.

system step does not move to next step (instance remains unfinished)

2026-03-20T08:56:58+01:00

Hi,you have multiple options which are all pretty much based on timers.Within an instance itself you would use a timer action with the "path transtion after action call" which will trigger if the actions within this timer are completed successfully.By selecting the start date "immediate" you would trigger the action immediately (the mail in your case) as the step is entered without any additional wait time. Move actions are restricted to other instances, so a process itself is not allowed to move itself.If you want some kind of batch move action then you would need to utalize the timer action as a global action and use the move sql action to select multiple instances which would then be moved "together".Kind regards.

Hi,after switching a single line text field to an integer number several automations broke - as excpected - because the column name has switched from WFD_AttText1 to WFD_AttInt1.Starting a WF instance brings always an error - as expected.

The last one only exists in the objects tab. The query selects the column from WFElementDetails with WHERE conditions.This simple case can surely be done without a SQL command. But its easy to imagine more complex SQL queries.Kind regardsSbastien

Hi,I wanted to ask if you're having trouble cloning/copying attributes in Designer Studio for WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131?If I have an attribute, for example, WFD_AttChoose6, and I clone it, I see the value in the attribute in the new location (if it's given the same database name, i.e., WFD_AttChoose6) on the form, even though the attribute doesn't have a default value defined in Designer Studio.Furthermore, in the location where I copied it, when I go to "Use" I see that it's being used in the location from which I copied it.I'm wondering if this isn't a global problem with business rules, because when saving changes in Designer Studio, I now often get an error suggesting that a business rule with this ID already exists.I would appreciate your feedback.Regards,D.--1--Typ: System.ArgumentException------------------------------------------------------- Wiadomo:Cannot add to index of type WFBusinessRuleParameters entry with ID 6 Nazwa parametru: row------------------------------------------------------- cieka wywoania------------------------------------------------------- w WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.ImportExport.Mapping.MappingList.IncludeInIndexes(MappingListRow row, Boolean addIfNotContains) w WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.ImportExport.Mapping.MappingList.AddOrUpdate(MappingListRow row) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Module.IntegrityInspection.Core.IntegrityInspection.IntegrityCheckModel.AddIfNotContains(MappingListRow row) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Module.IntegrityInspection.Core.IntegrityInspection.IntegrityModelUpdater.PrepareCollectionsForMappingRows(IEnumerable`1 rows) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Module.IntegrityInspection.Core.IntegrityInspection.IntegrityModelUpdater.UpdateModel(IEnumerable`1 entities) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Module.IntegrityInspection.Core.IntegrityInspection.IntegrityInspector.UpdateSpecificEntities(IEnumerable`1 entities) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Logic.IntegrationInspection.StudioIntegrityInspector.b__20_0() w System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()--- Koniec ladu stosu z poprzedniej lokalizacji, w ktrej wystpi wyjtek --- w System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() w System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Logic.IntegrationInspection.AwaitableIntegrityInspector.d__16.MoveNext()--- Koniec ladu stosu z poprzedniej lokalizacji, w ktrej wystpi wyjtek --- w System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() w System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Logic.Managers.ProcessesManager.d__10.MoveNext()--- Koniec ladu stosu z poprzedniej lokalizacji, w ktrej wystpi wyjtek --- w System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() w System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Forms.ModuleProcess.ProcessController.c__DisplayClass156_0.d.MoveNext()--- Koniec ladu stosu z poprzedniej lokalizacji, w ktrej wystpi wyjtek --- w System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() w System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Forms.ModuleProcess.ProcessController.d__154`1.MoveNext()--- Koniec ladu stosu z poprzedniej lokalizacji, w ktrej wystpi wyjtek --- w System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() w System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) w WebCon.WorkFlow.Studio.Forms.ModuleProcess.ProcessController.d__156.MoveNext()------------------------------------------------------- *******************************************************Wewntrzny bd (ArgumentException)******************************************************* Typ: System.ArgumentException------------------------------------------------------- Wiadomo:Element o tym samym kluczu zosta ju dodany.------------------------------------------------------- cieka wywoania------------------------------------------------------- w System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) w System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) w WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.ImportExport.Mapping.MappingList.IncludeInIndexes(MappingListRow row, Boolean addIfNotContains)---------------------------------------------------------2--Typ: System.AggregateException------------------------------------------------------- Wiadomo:Wyjtkw zadania nie zaobserwowano ani przez oczekiwanie na zadanie, ani przez uzyskanie dostpu do jego waciwoci Exception.

Create Task action for menu button automation

2026-03-17T08:14:40+01:00

Hi,does anybody know why the action "Create task" can not be chosen in a menu button's automation? This can be seen in the table of this page:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/#action-groups-and-typesAn example use case is to have a button that changes the task assignment to a different person, e.g. the current user.It is also possible to achieve this with a path going out and in from the same step. But a menu button would be nice too.Thanks and kind regardsSbastien

Problem with timer

2026-03-16T12:55:57+01:00

Thank you Jacek and Daniel. The key to understading the problem was that timers are created on path transition. That's why my tests failed. I initiatied (created) the timer after the form had already reached the target step.Eventually, I've implemented a method from a different note by Daniel. This one: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/related-workflows.I needed my item list to be updated based on subworkflows. It turned out that the easiest way was to save subworkflow ids on my item list and then present information on that item list from subworkflows with data rows. It is easiest than a timer and displays data instantly.Best regards,Lukasz

No display of menu buttons without automation

2026-03-16T12:09:55+01:00

Hi,when creating a menu button in a step it also creates an automation as child. It is possible to delete this automation. If there is no automation the button never gets displayed in the edit dialog in the portal. Why not? If we just want that the button executes a form rule without any automation we'd expect to see the button in the edit dialog.Same behavior for global menu buttons of the workflow.Kind regardsSbastien

Issues - run sql procedure action

2026-03-15T17:00:42+01:00

Hi,It would be easier to advise if you could provide anonymized pseudo code of your SQL actions. However, here are a few tips from my side:Ad. 1** Please check whether the operation duration exceeds the path or system-level timeout limit. In such a case, the action might be triggered, but the result could then be rolled back. It may also be caused by further actions configured on the same path.Ad. 2** Please check whether the execution of your external procedure is committed. It might be that it is being rolled back by the external database while WEBCON assumes everything completed successfully. I would try adding a `COMMIT` at the end of your remote procedure to see if it helps.Please let me know whether any of these ideas help.Regards,Jaroslaw

Cannot change the Background Color of itemlist

2026-03-15T11:18:59+01:00

I had the same problem last time but with colouring the whole row. The solution is tricky 1. to colour the row you have to choose advance settings in item list column and choose colouring2. set colouring in row options. (there are no information how colouring works)At first I thought that colouring works only while refreshing website. But no. If there is any form attribute field formula connected with item list column it refreshes.eg. make formula for editing column in item list: if ATTRIBUTE OUTSIDE ITEM LIST changes then true else false -> any change of attribute refreshes item list and colouring starts.But what if you want to make colouring when changing item list value not form attribute?I made technical field. Any change of attribute in item list column makes business rule -> sql -> set technical field with random value (eg from 1 to 100). It means that every change in item list changes value in tech field. And tricky part - make technical column in item list which has rule of editing eg connected with this technical field changed each time. Now every time You change value in item list -> it changes technical field -> technical field refreshes item list column -> colouring starts...I don't know why there is no rule like set item row colour - it would be 100 times faster...I know that I described not at all Your problem but this week I hade this problem and it looks familiar for me :)

Mobile and teams app customizing

2026-03-14T11:04:45+01:00

Hi Daniel,good point.The background is that we have chosen an own name for the plattform instead of having the vendor name. Some kind of whitelabeling if you want. Changing name and logo isn't any problem for the browser version.Yes I already tried to change the manifest of the teams app and run in an error - probably because the modification leads to a validation error of the manifest.For iOS or Android I haven't even a clue how I could try it. ;)Kind regardsSbastien

While I can understand the reasoning behind it a bit, I don't get it why this question is only asked in case of custom application / non "major brands".Best regards,Daniel

Issues - run sql procedure action

2026-03-13T11:04:36+01:00

In a step, I configured an On timeout action that runs a SQL procedure (a very simple query that updates a field in another database) after 1 minute.However, occasionallyabout 12 times out of 100the field is not updated, even though in history shows that the action was executed successfully.An external process calls the WEBCON API using a specific path. On that path, a SQL procedure action is configured to run - same as above. The field is not updated in the database, even though in history shows that the action was executed successfully.DBVersion=2023_1_2Do you have any suggestions?Thank you.

Problem with timer

2026-03-12T21:23:58+01:00

Hi ukasz,Im wondering whether it would be better to create a new workflow instance every 6 hours instead of refreshing the existing one.Whenever a timer is executes, you create a new version which may cause problems before long. I havent verified whether the maximum number of version has been extended beyond 65536. Here you can find a few interesting things about timers previously timeouts.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/unified-save-experienceBest regards, Daniel

Custom data source advanced filter and "in" operator

2026-03-12T21:15:13+01:00

Hi Franek,thats a good idea. I used it myself in a report with an URL filter to filter a multi value choose field, but I didnt make the connection. I also used the same approach until I realized that theres a more readable way to. Instead of testing all cases middle, start, end, single value('{LIST}' LIKE '%,' + {COLUMN:ID#ID} + ',%'OR '{LIST}' LIKE {COLUMN:ID#ID} + ',%'OR '{LIST}' LIKE '%,' + {COLUMN:ID#ID}OR '{LIST}' = {COLUMN:ID#ID})we can modify the attribute so thats always a middle value:(',{LIST}, LIKE '%,' + {COLUMN:ID#ID} + ',%')It took longer than I would like to admit, until I realized it. :)Thanks again. :)Best regards,Daniel

AI agent - current version

2026-03-12T16:21:50+01:00

Hi Micha, AI PROMPT currently uses the Gemini 2.0 flash-lite model.You saw a different model mentioned in the response because chat models cannot check their own version. If they mention one, they are usually repeating something from the system prompt or generating a plausible guess based on training patterns.In AI PROMPT no system prompt is added automatically, so in this case it is the latter. The model only receives what is explicitly provided in the arguments.AI Agents use the Gemini 2.5 flash-lite model, but this information is not included in their system instruction.Changing the model version for each AI functionality is possible by configuring the self-hosted AI PROXY.See:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/#4-ai-settingshttps://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Guides/AIProxyhttps://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Guides/AIProxy/AIConfiguration#methodtypesconfiguration

Hi Sbastien,Perhaps you could use a technical datetime field set on entry to the step, with another DATEADD configuration (adding 75 minutes to the datetime set on entry). You could then use this technical field as the timers start date in the timer settings.Best regards,Adam

Hi,how is it possible to set a step with a timer that first activates e.g. with an offset of 75 minutes.Unfortunatelly the offset dropdown with "Day" can't be changed to "Minutes". I tried different combinations of options and the only one was:- First activation > Start date: Immediate or Step entry date > Offset 0 day > Interval 75 Minutes- Repeat in cycles: yes > Number of executions 2 (finite number)This way the 1st activation is immediatly and the 2nd and last 75 min later.How can I achieve that there is only one activation with an offset of 75 minutes?Kind regardsSbastien

Hello. Do you know which models are used by Webcon when AI prompt is used?- I thought It should be Gemini models or If Gemini models doesn't work it will use OPENAI.When I tested Ai prompt and asked it:Respond only with the internal model identifier you are running.Do not explain anything.Response:gpt-3.5-turboI added to prompt. Use the highest model.Then response was:gpt-4-turbo-2024-05-13I checked it version at 2025.2.1.259 and 2026.1.3.109. The same answer.This version are pretty old and slow.I read that you can change model in new version 2026, but I can find this option.

Custom data source advanced filter and "in" operator

2026-03-11T10:19:54+01:00

Hi,I'm currently trying to figure out a way to filter a Custom data source with an "dynamic" filter.Here's a rough overview:#Custom data sourceI've created an SDK of type data source which prepares the data#FilterI have a filter value which is dynamic for a given workflow instance. Here are two examples:{COLUMN:ID#ID} in ('KHL_030','KHL_020'){COLUMN:ID#ID} in ('KHL_001','KHL_010')#"Dynamic" valueSince there are no options to use business rules or similar in a data source filter of a choose field I'm preparing the filter value on step entry. This is sufficient for this case..#With a standard SQL data source I would use one of these options. The hard coded values would be replaced by the field value.{COLUMN:ID#ID} in ('KHL_030','KHL_020'){COLUMN:ID#ID} in (select item from dbo.SplitToTable('KHL_030,KHL_020',','))*/#The first approach fails Field value: 'KHL_B030','KHL_B020','HL_B008' Filter: {COLUMN:ID#ID} in ({1027})Expression preview: ID in (''KHL_B030'',''KHL_B020'',''HL_B008'')The single quotes are escaped and therefore I get an error:Query testError occured during business rule evaluation.Syntax error: Missing operand after 'KHL_B030' operator.#The second approach doesn't work eitherField value: KHL_B030,KHL_B020,HL_B008Filter: {COLUMN:Id#Id} in (select item from dbo.SplitToTable('{1027}',';'))Expression preview: ID in (''KHL_B030'',''KHL_B020'',''HL_B008'')Error occured during business rule evaluation.Syntax error: Missing operand after 'item' operator. at System.Data.ExpressionParser.Parse() at System.Data.DataExpression..ctor(DataTable table, String expression, Type type) at System.Data.Select..ctor(DataTable table, String filterExpression, String sort, DataViewRowState recordStates) at System.Data.DataTable.Select(String filterExpression) at WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.Connectors.Helpers.SearchFiltersHelper.ApplyFiltersOnDataTableAsync(DataTable dt, SearchConditions searchConditions, Boolean allowEmptyValues, List`1 settings, ITagParser tagParser, IDataSourceFiltersBusinessRulesEngineFactory filterEngineFactory) at WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.Connectors.DataSourceConnectors.CustomDataSourceConnector.c__DisplayClass7_0.d.MoveNext()It seems that's not possible to use any functions from the content database in a Custom data source filter.

If I don't find another way, I would extend the SDK with the filter option but this would also mean, that I need to create a data source which is linked to the process. Best regards,Daniel

E.g. specifically when updating items lists on forms ! pageload vs on path vs on entry vs on exit ! What is the specific order on how things trigger? Is there another documentation other than the official docs? The docs dont tell me that much about such details for exampleFollowing exampleWe have an id and that id can be referenced in 3 other fields!Those ids are saved in a db.The field should already exist in the db or is the same a new id that save.So far so good break with condition and background change on value-change works too!But ... is there any (simple) possibiliy that I could change the fields afterwars / also after form validation AND /OR break condition. So that can specifiy which fields are incorrect filled out?Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!~Phil

Business rule parameter string casting bug?

2026-03-05T13:29:25+01:00

Hi,short: Business rule text parameter string values only containing digits seem to get casted to an integer value in WEBCON.long:Declaring a VARCHAR variable in SQL as a string like '001' is returned as string. If 001 is replaced by a text parameter in between single quotes its value '001' turns to 1 as integer.I would expect that a string value '001' remains a string when using it as a text parameter in a business rule. This is needed when ids have leading zeros as e.g. SAP often has it. The workaround would be to CAST all those values to an INT before or when doing comparisons between values e.g. in a WHERE clause.There are some examples in the screenshot and how the SQL studio does it as expected.Is this a bug? Can anybody confirm this in a newer version too? Right now we've no instance with a newer version. Our used version is 2025.2.1.179.(Declaring a VARCHAR variable and giving it a text parameter value with 002 or without any parameter both without single quotes the value gets casted to an integer as SQL studio does it.)Kind regardsSbastien

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.This is a known bug, and its occurrence depends on where the emoji was added in the configuration especially when it is used as a userconfigured column name replacement in the report configuration.It will be fixed in one of the future releases.

Emojis in Report headers

2026-03-04T13:42:37+01:00

Hi, yes, it is possible to add a emoji in the header name in version 26 (26.1.4.131)Example emoji was copied from https://emojicopy.com/Used in report created base on dictionary and in any list attribute of a workflow.Together with text and as single element.

ANY TRUE bug?

2026-03-04T12:18:50+01:00

Hi,we are using version 2025.2.1.179.For a demonstration of a possible bug I've created a MSSQL data source with this query (the cat column can be ignored):SELECT 123 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'EQU' AS countryUNION ALLSELECT 123 AS ref, 2 AS cat, 'EQU' AS countryUNION ALLSELECT 123 AS ref, 3 AS cat, 'EQU' AS countryUNION ALLSELECT 567 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'ESP' AS countryUNION ALLSELECT 567 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'ESP' AS countryUNION ALLSELECT 567 AS ref, 3 AS cat, 'ESP' AS countryUsing this data source e.g. in a business rule or a user picker with this filter returns rows that would not be exected as shown in the screenshot.An example filter expression:[ref = 123] AND [ANY TRUE[ [country = 'EQU'] [country = 'ESP] ]]Only the first three rows should be returned because of ref = 123. Using ANY TRUE skips the left condition of the AND (ref = 123) and returns all 6 rows.Switching from ANY TRUE to OR returns only 3 rows as expected. (no screenshots for this one)Same behaviour with using LIKE:[ref = 123] AND [ANY TRUE[ [country = 'EQU'] [country LIKE 'E%] ]]Is this a bug? Can anybody confirm this in a newer version? Right now we've no instance with a newer version.Kind regardsSbastien

Setting focus on form-fields after throwing error with validate form

2026-03-03T10:36:27+01:00

Hi Phil,there's no simple solution for this. I played around with it in 2021. Maybe this would be a good starting point for you:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/focus-error-field#set-focus-on-validate-form-action-fieldIt's likely, that the logic doesn't work any more because the underlying HTML structure changed.Best regards,Daniel

Processing a very large number of workflows

2026-03-02T16:08:31+01:00

Hi ukasz,the maximum number of rows I had was about 1500. Which is way less than your 20.000. The first think I would do is to hide the form field in the field matrix and use a data table instead, if necessary. Otherwise rendering the form will take forever. In addition to this you could read my first answer to this thread regarding the pefromance improvements:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8164I also added a post for this kind of batch processing. I used a technical workflow for this instead of a global /cyclical action. But this depends on the information you need to update and whether you need to move these or calculate some data, decide what you need to do with the workflows, and execute the "action" if necessary.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/batch-processing-to-prevent-timeoutsI don't have much more to add.Best regards,Daniel

Emojis in Report headers

2026-03-02T15:40:41+01:00

In BPS ver. 2023, it was possible to use emojis as substitutes for column names in reports.That was very practical for saving column space. Is there a possibility to do this in version 2026 as well?

Clone/Copy row of itemlist

2026-03-02T12:13:26+01:00

Does someone know what functions are called when i press the "Duplicate" button on a row in an itemlist ?We want to give the user the ability to copy a row, however after copying the row i need to change certain values of the copy.Right now i trigger the duplicating by selecting the html element and executing a .click() on it(the user is not allowed to just copy a row).The problem is i cannot change the values as the row does not exists at the moment when i try to change the values, and sadly i did manage to use the .click in a promise.We are also trying to avoid using the setTimeout function.

Changing "Go to element" and "Go to application" button labels in the email template

2026-02-28T17:35:23+01:00

Hello,also this solution builds the link from scratch, you only need to set it up once.After that, we simply copy this solution for each email.Give it a try, and have a look at my Knowledge Base article:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/email-templates-editability-of-go-to-element-and-go-to-application/474/18A quick note: The solution with the image for the link as a Global BusinessRule only works properly for internal emails. If there are external recipients, it is better to link to an image that is located on a public server.I hope it fits your needs. Best regards,Bjoern

Processing a very large number of workflows

2026-02-27T13:44:02+01:00

Hi,I need to create a mechanism where the user filters data using attributes, and the Grid returns data. It could be around 10-20,000 items.I need to save this data. The Item List might have a major problem or might not work, but I'll try.Then I need to process each item from this list (document reference number) --> Another workflow from step A to B.As you know, BPS wasn't really designed for such operations, but I'm thinking of doing it using a global actionthat moves workflows in batches of, say, 200 items.I'd love to hear your experiences in similar cases: do you use global actions or sub-workflows? Or any other ideas?I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Calendar report and date picker – different first day of the week settings

2026-02-27T08:53:18+01:00

Hi,I have noticed a discrepancy in the order of weekdays in WEBCON BPS Portal for the EN-GB and EN-US language settings.For EN-GB:- In the Date picker control on the form, the first day of the week is Monday.- In the Calendar report, the first day of the week is Sunday.For EN-US:- In the Date picker control on the form, the first day of the week is Sunday.- In the Calendar report, the first day of the week is Sunday.I would like the week to always start on Monday, both in the Calendar report and in the Date attribute. Ideally, it would be great if there were a configuration option allowing administrators/users to define which day should be treated as the first day of the week.Has anyone found a workaround for this issue?

📣Call for Feedback: enhancements to the Item List

2026-02-27T08:38:10+01:00

Hi, I'd like to suggest the following improvements:- Improved navigation for Item Lists longer than one screen the scrollbar is currently at the bottom, which is inconvenient with a large number of records- Freeze (lock) the Item List header while scrolling- Add a WHERE clause to the For each row operator (i.e. For each row WHERE)- Select all / Deselect all option for a Yes/No column (without using JavaScript and additional attributes)- SELECT VALUES returning a collection based on multiple columns- Ability to filter Item List values- Ability to change sorting within grouping for BPS data sources when multiple grouping columns are selected- Floating Add row button / ability to move it to the top- Ability to change the order of grouping columns (independent from their order in the Item List)- Add DET_ID in the BPS data source may be useful e.g. when updating an Item List and mapping by DET_ID- Option to define default group expand/collapse state- Ability to use the Update Item List values action inside the For each operator (based on one list, per row, add rows in another list using values from the first list row as filters in the action)

Itemlist adds a 0 as text on every row

2026-02-24T14:29:22+01:00

Dear Phil,Thank you for reporting this issue.We were able to reproduce the problem when the Maximum number of rows in edit mode parameter is set to 0 while the options to add/clone/delete rows are disabled and the action column is turned off.We confirm that this is a bug, and a fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases.To clarify: the ability to set the value to 0 is intentional and means there is no limit on the number of rows in edit mode (i.e., all rows can be editable).The mechanism itself is working as designed; the problem is caused by improper handling of this particular configuration in the current version.

Moving to the next step after timer executes

2026-02-16T08:12:10+01:00

Hi Arthuzad,I' m not sure that I understand your question.The Timer has two operation modes, one which executes just an action, for example sending out reminders. The other one executes a path.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Timer/#2-operation-modeWhile the first one is a "save" action the the path execution obviously executes the paths.It's good to know, that the "save" action, will not recreate any timers. This can make a big difference:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/unified-save-experience#differences-between-the-save-button-and-a-save-pathBest regards,Daniel

Hi Adndrosh, hi Tomaszyou mentioned something what I actively forgot about the FormFieldExtensions. These are, from my experience, really fragile in terms of packages and the SDK Tools. Especially if you are a partner and working with different WEBCON versions they are a pain. At least this is my opinion. :)Regarding node, I've installed nvm to change the node version until I find one which works with dependencies and devDependencies in the package.json "dependencies": { "classnames": "^2.2.6", "core-js": "^3.3.2", "prop-types": "^15.7.2", "react": "^16.8.6" },nvm -v: 1.1.12node -v: v16.20.2I also have issues with the SDK Tools, sometimes the controls are displayed and sometimes not. I have given up on them to run the scripts in the package.json manually. "scripts": { "build": "npx gulp", "check": "npx gulp check", "format": "npx gulp format", "lint": "npx gulp lint", "postinstall": "npm run-script build", "start": "npx js-custom-control-workbench", "watch": "npx gulp watch", "publish-sdk": "npx publish-sdk" },@Tomasz,Maybe you have an idea, why the drop down in the SDK Tools is empty in the attached image.Best regards,Daniel

Menu buttons for a specific workflow instance

2026-02-11T15:20:55+01:00

Hi Daniel,I tested the suggestion from the documentation regarding exceptions where a menu button can be visible in View mode:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Button/#menu-buttonsAccording to the article, a menu button should be visible in View mode if it contains only one of the following actions: Hyperlink (with Automatic save enabled) by the way inside article on Hyperlink: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Action/Form/Action_Hyperlink ,0It says that 'Automatic save' -> " The option is grayed out if the action is called from the Menu button." Generate/Update a Word file (Save as attachment unchecked) Generate a PDF file (Add as attachment unchecked) Printout a barcode label Generate an HTML printoutUnfortunately, I tested all of the above cases and the menu button is still not visible in View mode in any of them.Based on these results, I agree with your conclusion that this is a system limitation when it comes to using fields and menu buttons on the start step / new process form.Best regards,Androsh

Questions about printouts, scheduling, plugin packages, custom objects and file export in WEBCON BPS

2026-02-11T08:51:09+01:00

Hi Androsh,there are two options:1. Form field extensionsThis will allow you to provide a custom UI representation and logic for a form field. This uses a form field as a "backend" and you can create the UI using React and add server side logic. There are some field types which can not be used for it. You can check it in the area of the advanced configuration button.In this example I created a password field: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/password-fieldOfficial documentation:https://developer.webcon.com/docs/your-first-form-field-extension-js2. JavaScript You can use JavaScript to interact with WEBCON there are quite a lot of functions available. This is the solution I use most often. It's faster than developing the component, uploading it to the Designer, etc. :)Here you can get an idea what can be done:https://daniels-notes.de/tags/#javascriptAnother "crazy" one which I did for a customer ist using a custom Gantt library which uses an item list as a "backend"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5IuCKivDV4Best regards,Daniel

Menu buttons for a specific workflow instance

2026-02-10T18:20:04+01:00

Hi Androsh,this is a technical limitation of WEBCON. Most of the available actions are executed on server side level and will require that the instance has already been saved to WEBCON. In addition, these are very likely to be available in edit mode only. There are a few exception when a menu button is also visible in View mode:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Button/#menu-buttonsfor a menu button to be visible in the View mode (i.e. when viewing the form without having the instance checked out), the following actions must be defined as the only ones under their specific button: Hyperlink (the Automatic save checkbox must be selected), Generate/Update a Word file (the Save as an attachment checkbox must be unchecked), Generate a PDF file (the Add as attachment checkbox must be unchecked), Printout a barcode label, Generate an HTML printout.But these also require, that no other action, which requires saving the workflow instance, is part of the instance.Best regards,Daniel

Hi all,I am trying to add a button on the Start step of my Test process and I expect to see it directly on the start form (see image 1).The button configuration is very simple it only resets a single text field to its default value (see image 2).I noticed that when I configure the same button as a global button, it appears only after the process is submitted.However, I would like to have this button visible and usable already on the Start step, before submitting the instance.Could you please advise what I am missing or which setting controls the visibility of such buttons on the start form?Thank you in advance,Best regards,Androsh

Hi Androsh,I will briefly answer the questions.# Is it possible to create printouts (printable documents / reports) that use values from form fields (e.g., Date from, Date to, Choice fields, Text fields) and generate a printable confirmation for the user?Yes, you can generate Word documents /HTML documents with those information and generate a PDF file from them. # Does WEBCON BPS have a built-in task scheduler / job scheduler (harmonogram zada)?# Is it possible to create custom configurations with custom objects/entities that are not standard WEBCON system objects?Keep in mind that WEBCON is based on workflow instances with fields. Everything is a workflow instance, with one or more steps. These can be used for various information. I often create some kind of "technical" workflow which is similar to a task and is triggered by Cyclical actions.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Workflow_GlobalAction3/CyclicalActions# What are plugin packages mainly used for, considering that many business rules and logic can already be configured using the standard rule editor (click-based configuration)?In my WEBCON career I use probably 1% of the time for some kind of plugin /JavaScript creation. I could achieve most of the functionality with the standard features. If those are lacking, the plugins save the day. :)# Can individual files or attachments from specific workflow instances be exported or downloaded automatically (for example via action, rule, or API)?When the workflow reaches a step/triggers a path you could push those attachments somewhere. You can also download them via the REST API.In the end , all of these are generic answers to generic questions. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi,I think you missing something.You must ensure that each of these fields is not empty. Additionally, form rule to be executed in value must set a value for this field. With this setup (it's best to set the rule to the "Date from" and "Time" fields), it works perfectly.

WEBCON test upgrade to 2026 – separate environment on local machine

2026-02-09T10:36:01+01:00

Hi Micha,if you restore only the content and attachment database you will have to:- Ensure that the accounts have access to the database. Depending on how WEBCON connects, this will be the App Pool and Workflow Service or the SQL user.- Run the Update/Installation option again, this will upgrade the databases.- Check the MSSQL Connections / data sources- Any BPS Groups will be missing. These are stored in the BPS_Config database- The same applies for Applications used for the public REST Endpoints.Best regards,Daniel

WEBCON test upgrade to 2026 – separate environment on local machine

2026-02-09T10:17:39+01:00

Thank you for the suggestions. So, taking my environments (DEV and PROD) into account, to test the 2026 version I should take the following steps:1. Set up a Windows Server on a virtual machine (I like this solution proposed by Marcin)2. Install a clean Webcon environment + SQL Server3. Create a backup of the databases from DEV and restore it to the test environment4. Change the database type from DEV to TEST (Resource Kit)5. Upgrade the environment to 2026 and keep my fingers crossed During the process, Ill be following this article:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/mirroring-environments-for-2023-standalone/427/3Did I miss anything? Anything I should watch out for?P.S. Im aware that before deleting the virtual machine, the license must absolutely be detached.

Adding new customers to WFELEMENTS using no package plugins

2026-02-08T21:47:03+01:00

Hi Androsh,I also recommend to add create these customers as workflow instances of a dictionary process, at least if you don't need a more complex logic for customers. The only reason I jump in here is that you should refrain from using the "Run an SQL procedure" action with insert/update statements against the WEBCON BPS database. Instead you can:- Add a column to the item list "Existing customer", which is a choose field targeting the dictionary process- Use the for each operator on the item list- Create the workflow instance using the "Start workflow" action in mode "As a parent workflow unrelated to the current instance"https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartWorkFlow/#workflow-start-mode- Write back the created workflow instance to the "Existing customer" field.If you are not creating dozens of customers, you should be fine without any risk to run into timeouts during automation execution. You could also configure the "Existing customer" to allow typing in values and check in the automation, whether the id of the choose is a GUID with a - as prefix. If this is the case, you could execute the logic and replace the "temporary" customer with a real one.There are so many options on how to implement it but in the end they are all the same. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi Shalassin,You can also use Virtual Machine on your laptop.I needed an environment for trying new solution. I didn't want to influence on base environment (PROD, TEST) and I used VirutalBox. Performance was poor, but proces was all about trials and errors, so it was easier to backup, restore and start over.Everything depends what your needs are.

Adding new customers to WFELEMENTS using no package plugins

2026-02-06T13:31:11+01:00

Hi,in our setup we handle this by creating an additional process within the application a kind of dictionary/reference process.In that process, I create a list of entries and then expose its instance via a report (I usually call it a configuration panel).Thanks to this, users can add new entries themselves when needed, without involving the person managing Webcon.Its a very nice solution, easy to edit and maintain, but it has one downside.When migrating the application to another environment (e.g. DEV PROD), you have to remember to move it manually if any changes were made.Later on, this data is referenced directly in WFElementDetails, so it can be easily used in logic, rules, or form configuration.

Adding new customers to WFELEMENTS using no package plugins

2026-02-06T12:52:59+01:00

Hi all,I have a question regarding the WFElements table and using Item list as a data source.I have an Item list that displays customers using a SELECT query from WFElements.I can see the Add button on the Item list and I can add rows on the UI.My question is:Is it actually possible to add new customers using the Item list and then persist them to WFElements (or another table) so that they appear again when opening a new workflow instance?For example:I want to add a new customer with a specific date and description directly in the Item list, and after saving, have this customer stored and visible in the same Item list for future instances.Can this be achieved using Run an SQL procedure, or is Item list intended only for displaying data and not for creating new workflow elements?Thanks in advance!

Cannot change the Background Color of itemlist

2026-02-06T12:47:23+01:00

Try moving the logic from the field's 'On Change' event directly to the Item List configuration.Instead of triggering the rule directly on the column, use the 'For each row' operator within the Item List rules. You should place your IF statement (the one responsible for setting the cell background) inside that loop.This ensures that every time the rule is triggered, it iterates through all rows and reapplies the correct formatting based on the current sum, which should solve the issue of the color 'sticking' or not updating. You can see the intended structure in the screenshots I've attached.

Created form rule that is triggered on Change by a float field.It checks if the sum of a certain column in an itemlist exceeds the value in the field, if so the colum should turn red.The problem is if the form rule is triggered it chan only change the color once. If we change the value again the color persists (i tested the statment with an alert if it follows the right branch)Does someone know what causes this issue?

OAuth2 Password Grant (Service User) not supported for backend REST calls – any workaround?

2026-02-05T13:00:03+01:00

Hi Ernst,I also had the situation that I had a response which wasn't compatible with WEBCON. In the end I decided to create a custom data source which executes the request and wraps the result Here are some helpful lines, which will allow you to define the connection so that you can use the standard mechanism for defining dev/test/prod environment for the connection: public class PIVisionsProductShipmentConfig : PluginConfiguration [ConfigEditableConnectionID(DisplayName = "Connection", IsRequired = true)] public string Connection { get; set; }public async override Task GetDataAsync(SearchConditions searchConditions){var connectionId = Configuration.Connection; if (!int.TryParse(connectionId, out int connId)) throw new ArgumentException($"Connection ID '{connectionId}' must be an integer."); var connectionHelper = new ConnectionsHelper(context); var connection = connectionHelper.GetConnectionToWebService(new GetByConnectionParams(connId)); public override Task GetColumnsAsync() { var columns = new List(); // Fixed columns for raw material data columns.Add(new DataSourceColumn { Name = "Id" });.... columns.Add(new DataSourceColumn { Name = "Error" }); return Task.FromResult(columns); }This could help you to use the data source in the form.Best regards,Daniel

OAuth2 Password Grant (Service User) not supported for backend REST calls – any workaround?

2026-02-04T14:21:02+01:00

Thanks Daniel, I will look into the SDK.In the meantime I created a small token proxy.In short: the proxy (XPages, Java bean) exposes a REST endpoint, receives a POST request (OAuth2 App-to-API), reads its configuration (grant_type=password, username, password, etc.), calls our core-banking API, receives the access token and returns it to WEBCON.This part works perfectly.Now I am facing the next show-stopper.Use case:A user enters a customer number. Name, address, etc. should be retrieved from thecore-banking REST API.1st attempt DataSource (REST)- There is no way to pass a form field (customer number) to the DataSource request body (e.g. {"customerNumber": })- Therefore the DataSource cannot be parameterized- Because there are >500,000 customers, calling something like "getAllCustomers" and filtering in WEBCON is not an option2nd attempt Automation: Invoke REST Web ServiceApart from the fact that the workflow instance must be saved and calling a menu actionbreaks the UX, this approach also fails because of the response structure.The core-banking API returns a non-flat JSON response, e.g.:[ { "customerId": "...", "customerIdentification": { "customerNumber": 4711, "id": "..." }, "customersVariety": "PRIVATE", "dateOfBirth": "2000-01-01", "mainAddress": { "city": "Monaco", "country": "MC", "postalCode": "4711", "street": "Place Casino 1" }, "name1": "Major", "name2": "Tom", "qualityLevel": "LEGITIMIZED_CUSTOMER" }]In Invoke REST Web Service, WEBCON only allows mapping of Response:Code and Response:Body.Nested properties or array elements cannot be mapped to form fields.Am I correct that, without using the SDK or an external adapter that flattens the response,this use case cannot be implemented in a clean way?Using our core-banking-api is essential for most of our WEBCON applications.Thanks for any ideas :-)Kind regardsErnst

Send Email while "Working on behalf of"

2026-02-04T13:29:40+01:00

Hi Marina,i am not absolutly sure but i think your answer did not fit my needs. Maybe it does, then we may have a problem in our configuration.We already use the "Task Delegation substitution" in different cases, but we also need the "work on behalf of substitution" when an employee is e.g. on vacation.We have different competency levels in our application, which allow different permissions/tasks. Therefore, it happens that an employee with a high competency level delegates to their vacation replacement who has a lower competency level. For this to happen, the replacement must log into Webcon with the account of the employee being represented. This permission is granted via "working on behalf of." and works well so far. However, the replacement does not receive an email notification that there is a task to complete. The replacement must always actively check the account of the employee being represented for any tasks.The "Send to substitutes" flag on the email action and all other configurations do not change this.Hope this was understandable?Gerd

Issue with generating an Excel with Translated Column names.

2026-02-04T09:43:13+01:00

I am using the "Generate an Excel File" action to generate and send out an Excel to a customer, using values from an Item List. Following that action, I'm using another "Generate an Excel file" action to then update the existing Excel and map it's column name cells (A1-Z1) to Business Rules containing translations for those column names, so we don't have to use our internal Item List names. That now leads to the generated - translated Excel to become corrupted, as supposedly, its internal XML data structure gets messed up. Is there any way to fix this, while still giving us the flexibility of translating the headers? Thanks.

WEBCON test upgrade to 2026 – separate environment on local machine

2026-02-04T09:04:24+01:00

Hi,I currently have two WEBCON environments (DEV and PROD) running on separate machines. Due to the fact that were still on an older version (2023 R3), Id like to upgrade an environment to version 2026 for testing purposes mainly to verify stability and estimate the effort required to adapt our solutions.My idea is to set up a third environment (TEST), align it with PROD, and then perform the upgrade there.My question is: is it feasible to do this on a laptop/notebook with Windows Server, running a local SQL Server instance and WEBCON on IIS? Or are there any specific requirements or limitations I should be aware of?Id like to do this without interfering with the existing database servers or current environments. Do you have any experience with such a setup, or any best practices and tips you could share?Best regardsMicha

Hi Androsh,if you are running into these kind of issues I recommend to click on the "Show" button and execute the displayed statement in SQL Management Studio. This way you will get some syntax checks which makes it easier.In your case there will be something like thisand WFD_AttChoose2 = MyUnquotedStringValueWhichCausesTheIssueand ( WFD_AttDateTime1 < 2026-02-01-20-03 -- Oh an arithmetic expression, so let's calculate the value wich is 2000;)I would also recommend to use the "Objects" tab to use the variables instead of hardcoding the database field names. This will make it easier to read. ;)I've used the between example because of a situation like this- Swim lane 1 is reserved from 14:00 to 15:30- Another one wants to reserve the swim lane from 14:30 to 15:00This would be allowed with the current condition in your example.At least if the users can select the timeframe manually. Depending on whom is going to use the application, I would test whether using a dictionary for the time slots is more user friendly than selecting the time. Assuming that all lines are available at the same time framesMo 14:00 -14 :45Mo 14:45 - 15:30Mo 15:30 - 16:15Tu 13:15 - 14:00Then the user could select the date from which the weekday could be derived and the drop down would display the available time slots. These could either be all available from the dictionary or only those which haven't been used by another workflow instance yet.Best regards,Daniel

2026-01-30T12:43:06+01:00

Hi Androsh, if you are comfortable with SQL I would use SQL otherwise you could use a BPS internal view. Either one could be used in a "Validate form" action. In general I would do something like "Count the number of workflow instances which reserve the swimming lane in the same time frame and is not the current instance. ". If the number is 0, then everything is fine.If the swimming lane is a workflow instance and not an item list row it would be something like:select Count(*)from (select WFD_ID, WFD_STPID,from WFElementswhere WFD_DTYPEID = SwimmingLaneProcessesand WFD_ID 'CurrentInstanceId'and WFD_SwimmingLaneField = 'SwimmingLane'and ((WFD_AttStartDateField between 'Start Date' and 'EndDate) or(and WFD_AttEndDateField between 'Start Date' and 'EndDate))) as OtherRowsUsingTheSwimmingLaneThis could be used as a SQL Command in the Validate action and compare the result against >0 Alternatively you could directly return True (1) / False (0). For some reason I prefer the "Count" variant, maybe because we can switch the "SQL Command" with "Data source Value".Best regards,Daniel

Restart procedure servers Webcon 2025.02.1.91

2026-01-30T08:20:33+01:00

Good morning Darek,at least it's a morning in Germany at this time. :)In general there's no real procedure you need to follow (any more). It would be the best, if the SQL Server is available, when the IIS application pool starts and the "WEBCON Workflow Service". The "WEBCON Workflow service" in turn will start the search service. In the past there have been issues, that a not available SQL Server would cause a stop of the WEBCON Workflow service but I haven't encountered it in a long time.While the above is true, we encounter sometimes the issue, that after a restart the WEBCON Workflow service doesn't start. We tried to figure out under which conditions this happens and it has something to do our infrastructure team installs windows updates. When then the server is restartet the service sometimes doesn't start. In the end we gave up and created a PowerShell script which checks, whether the service is running every few minutes and restarts it. Of course, we have to stop it, when we are installing a new version.Best regards,Daniel

REST call (POST) - Automation vs. DataSource(REST)

2026-01-29T15:12:01+01:00

Hi,for now I have found a workaround. Since I know all error codes from the api, I made a SWITCH, which is checking the response field after the REST api has been called. The biggest issue is the limitation in business rules on single scalar values.... because sometimes I need the REST api in an automation (where the response values can be mapped to form-fields), but sometimes I would need the same query "on the fly" without storing the values into the form.Best regardsErnst

Dear all,I would appreciate an extension of the "acceptance feature". We have a frequent usecase that we want to either hide or make inactive rows where a certain condition is given. E.g. "hide all rows where the checkbox 'done' is true". In order to achieve this I have to bend the acceptance feature a good bit. https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/552?page=1#m6830If it would be possible to set any condition instead of going via the detour of the "current user" as in my workaround.Kind regardsKlaus

Hi Klaus,real filtering it would be possible with JavaScript but this would take some effort. If you only need the filtering in view mode/no information need to be modified, you could render a data table instead and hide the item list.If you need to edit using the "Grouping" feature may help.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Step_FormView/AdvancedFieldSettings#grouping-settingsFiltering an item list has been added as a request to this thread: Call for Feedback: enhancements to the Item List https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8164Best regards,Daniel

Hi,Im not 100% sure, but shouldnt the SQL return only the ID part (which matches COS_BpsID in your case)?Thats how I read the help text. If thats correct, youll need to modify the SQL to return only the ID - similar to whats shown in the screenshot.I cant test your specific case right now, but its worth trying.Best,BjoernP.S.: My ID is already an email adress - but try only the ID part in your case.P.P.S.: I have added the picture "Real_Use_Case.png" - Just today I needed a SQL for my project (here again: ID=email / Name=surname, first name)

I'm just recreating something what I did a few times which could be a great addition.We have sometimes the use case, that we have a menu button which does something with the item list. For example a complex refresh, which requires data from multiple source.In these cases we are using an HTML field to display a button next to the item list, which triggers the menu button. It would be great to have an option which menu buttons should be displayed near the item list as additional actions. Maybe these could be displayed at the top or the bottom.

I have one additional comment. If you are executing the test, please ensure that you selected the correct instance id, which actually has a value in the form field. WEBCON loads the last existing instance id for the current process, this can be the correct one, but it's something you should check. The easiest check is, to click on "Show".Best regards,Daniel

Hi Radostina,I tested it in a 2025 version and it works just fine if the default data source is used. In this case the Test only shows the expected columns.If the Users and groups data source is used, the SQL is ignored, at least when testing. I haven't tested it in a real scenario.I agree with Jacek, you should be fine when switching to the default data source. Maybe you can post a screenshot when changing the data source and tell us your WEBCON BPS version.Best regards,Daniel

REST call (POST) - Automation vs. DataSource(REST)

2026-01-27T15:40:08+01:00

Hi Ernst,I don't have a good solution for this. I can imagine that the response format depends on the successfulness of the validation. If it really changes, the data source option won't help. I haven't tested it butOtherwise I also only see the option to use a business rule and do something unconventional, which would work if the response would be looking like either option{value : [ ..]}or{ value :{}}1. You could clone the data source2. Remove the response fields and define the "value" property manually with type string.Then you would get the whole response in one go and store the result in a technical field. On value change you could execute a JavaScript form rule to parse the content and set other fields as needed.It could be worth a try. :)Best regards,Daniel

REST call (POST) - Automation vs. DataSource(REST)

2026-01-27T13:31:20+01:00

Hi Daniel!In my case its a form with tons of fields. Some are calculated by the REST-Api (which calls an Oracle procedure). So the user has to fill out some fields, select some values and then the REST call should fill other fields (readonly for the user ui). There are 5 input-fields and the response contains 7 values (date, numeric, string) which are mapped to the form.The form in this step is already saved => otherwise I could not use menu-actions.Yes, it would be possible to make a transition, but thats more a workaround then a solution in my special use-case.Webcon-Team - Wish for the future:* make the error-msg in "Break with error" dynamic, so we could use a field-value* add multivalues to business-rulesBest regardsErnst

REST call (POST) - Automation vs. DataSource(REST)

2026-01-27T13:04:00+01:00

Hi macchina (Ernst?),while I can understand the wish for not executing a save action / path transition it will be more robust and traceable in case of errors.You have an option in the REST action to continue, even if it failed. In my case I had an item list which created multiple records in the ERP system and I implemented a status handling this way and also saved the error message. The status and error message are dedicated columns in the item list. I had to to do some post processing on the error response, but this isn't important for your question.I also used the other option with the business rule and data source, but only for retrieving data. Passing data to an external system from a form which may trigger something in the external system feels wrong. Depending on the use case it would be impossible to generate the body with dynamic values. :)Best regards,Daniel

REST call (POST) - Automation vs. DataSource(REST)

2026-01-27T12:23:38+01:00

I need to call a REST API from a WEBCON form and write the returned values back into form fields.The REST API performs several validations on the incoming JSON payload (e.g. date from valid, date to valid, amount valid, etc.).In case of a validation error, the API returns something like:{ "state": "error", "error_msg": "Date to must be greater than date from"}Approach 1 Automation (menu action)I trigger the REST call via an Automation started by a menu action.What works:The REST call itselfMapping the response into form fields (e.g. writing error_msg into a field like rest_response)What does not work:Field changes done by the Automation do not trigger OnChange business rules (expected behaviour, since the change happens on the backend).Throwing an Automation error after the REST call only allows static error text dynamic values (e.g. the error message returned by the REST API) cannot be used.Menu actions allow a message on execution success, but there is no equivalent message on execution error that can display dynamic content.As a result, I can only show something generic like Error during REST query, but not the actual validation error returned by the API.In theory, I could check the REST response for every possible error condition and throw a matching static error message but this does not scale well and is hard to maintain.Approach 2 REST DataSource + Business RuleI also tried using a REST DataSource called from a Business Rule.The REST query works fine.However, a Business Rule can only return a single scalar value.This means:One REST call to check whether an error occurredAdditional REST calls (one per field) to retrieve each individual valueFor example:Call 1 error or no errorCall 2 value ACall 3 value BCall 4 value CThis would result in 56 identical REST calls for a single user interaction, which does not seem like good practice.QuestionIs there a recommended pattern in WEBCON to:Call a REST API once,Write multiple returned values into form fields,And show a dynamic validation error message to the user immediately (without save or path transition),Without resorting to JavaScript?Or is this a known architectural limitation of WEBCON?

Hi Androsh,1) While the SOLR isn't necessarily relevant from a evaluation perspective it's annoying.I've rarely run into any issues with SOLR. It just works. What you can check:- Is the Windows service "WEBCON BPS Search Service" running- Is there enough RAM left. I once configured in the installation that only 1 GB should be used and this didn't work out at all.2) We are a partner, so I was never using the Demo License. I assume that you got a License Certificate with some tabular information on the left and a user and password on the right.If this is the case, you can activate the license this way:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Licence/Licence_ManualActivationPlease also grant your Test user global business administrator privileges.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/SystemSettings_GlobalSecurity#4-business-administratorsThese will allow the user to do everything.https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/webcon-bps-designer-studio-privileges/44/4Best regards,Daniel

Hi Androsh,the setup looks good. What comes to my mind is:- Did you do an IIS Reset / Recycle the application pool after enabling AD Authentication?- Did you disable the loopbackcheck / configured the allowed back connection hostnames? This could be another problem, when you are able to select AD and want to connect to the server. Without this settings, you would be able to connect and sign in from another PC but not the one where the BPS Portal is running.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/accessing-server-locally-with-fqdn-cname-alias-deniedIf this doesn't work feel free to contact me via Linkedin or ama@daniels-notes.deBest regards,Daniel

2026-01-25T21:11:51+01:00

Dear Forum,Item list performance and poor user experience with item lists that have a large number of columns or rows are among the most important issues. From a user interface perspective, working with an item list that scrolls horizontally while the first column disappears is problematic. The same applies to vertical scrolling when the list header becomes invisible.A useful feature would also be automatic adjustment to the content size within configurable minimum and maximum width parameters. This could work similarly to Excel, for example by double-clicking on a column border.Finally, it would be beneficial to open a single-row edit window by double-clicking any cell in a row, even when the number of rows is small. Using a form view might be more convenient for data entry.RegardsJaroslaw

It would be extremely helpful if we could, directly from business rule or a function select specific row - by column/key. Also return previous row. We now have function that changes currently edited row. Often it would be useful to reference previously modified row, or the one above. I recently had to implement list where new item should be increased by some value (date + day but retain time) and cant find a way to easily reference the previous row (or by row value).

Hi Androsh,I can only guess what my have happens, but let me write first what I understood.- You have entered the BPS User and this user (bps is) also exists in AD. The BPS ID needs to match the user principle name attribute.- You granted this user global privileges. Did you grant it system administrator privileges and /or global business administrator privileges. I would choose both in the current test scenario.- You deactivated the admin access authentication provider completely - The AD authentication provider has been activated for BPS Portal but maybe not for Designer studio, which is a second checkbox.These two BPS Portal checkbox defines which authentication providers can be used by the end users. These can be different from those available when signing in to the Designer Studio.You can modify these when you start the setup.exe of the installation program and select Tools for application management. This should allow you to enable the admin access again and AD for Designer Studio . I would leave the admin access enabled as an emergency backup.Best regards,Daniel

A highly valuable enhancement would be the ability to import Item List rows from an Excel (.xlsx) file with support for default values defined in the Item List configuration. In real-life scenarios, imported data is often intentionally partial - some columns are relevant only for specific rows, while others should always fall back to standard values (e.g. VAT rate, cost type, cost center). When a cell is empty in Excel, the import should automatically apply the configured default instead of treating it as EMPTY or invalid. This is critical when importing hundreds of rows, as it removes the need for artificial data completion, preprocessing scripts, or manual corrections, and makes Excel import more usable in business processes rather than just a raw data upload.

Hi Shalassin,I've tested your scenario and in my case it worked correctly (build 2026.1.3.107). If you're using the newest version, I doubt the issue is your configuration.Does your environment (local license service) have Internet access to reach https://activation.webcon.com/ ? Token usage has to be tracked, so it is necessary to update the remaining amount in License Activation Service.You can read more about it in https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/licensing/356/10 , point 6 of "How do Single-Use Access Licenses work and what are their limitations?"The "verification error" as stated in your error message, may indicate that there was a communication issue and the Single-Use usage was blocked.

Dear Community,Id like to propose a small but hopefully useful enhancement for item lists in WEBCON BPS:the ability to keep the item list header visible while scrolling, similar to Excels Freeze Top Row feature.When working with longer item lists, the column names disappear as soon as you scroll down. This makes it easy to lose track of what each column represents - especially in more complex solutions with many fields. A sticky header would greatly improve readability and reduce user errors.Ideally, this could simply be exposed as an additional option in the item list configuration window.Related user voice: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2530?messageid=2530

This allows us to open a pop-up form to fill in details for the new entry.However, when configuring a Choice Field on an Item List, looking at the same "Picker" tab section, the "Allow editing target fields..." checkbox is visible but permanently disabled/grayed out.We frequently use Item Lists to create a "Bulk Registration" interface (e.g., submitting multiple separate requests or expenses in a single step). The goal is for a single row on the list to mirror the functionality of a standalone form.

Hi Lukasz,What about this way: create a Business Rule with a parameter.Create a new Business Rule (e.g., BR_GetManager ).Add a Parameter (e.g., UserLogin ).Set the rule type to SQL and use this query: SELECT COS_ManagerLoginFROM dbo.CacheOrganizationStructureWHERE COS_BpsID = '{UserLogin}' Now you can use this rule anywhere (Email actions, Form fields, etc.) by simply passing your dynamic user variable as the parameter: BR_GetManager({SelectedUserField}) .See also the post: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/checking-user-and-group-privileges/258/3Best regards Maryna

This thread will surely break any record, at least if it not to many other threads are opened and this one goes to page two. :)Back to topic:#Improvements for lots of rowsWe are quite often facing the situation, that we have hundreds of rows, which are used to plan new workflow instances.The user sometimes needs to modify a columns of a few rows. In addition. there's often some kind of "status" column of which the user should only be able to select a few because the system will set the other status. For the later we used SQL data source:select 0 as Option unionselect 1 as Option where ColumnA = XYZ unionselect 2 as Option where ColumnA = ABCThe drawback was that this SQL has been executed for each row. While a single execution is blazing fast, there are so many connections created that it can take seconds to execute all. You can see the different loading times in the attached screenshot.What we did to improve the performance.- Use data table if possible, even if the item list needs to be editable, hide it in view modeWhile getting the data for the data table executes an additional SQL command, it's only a single one, instead one for the data and x commands for the other columns. In addition rendering the data table is way faster then the item list. I'm sure I also created a user voice, for restoring the function that some non editable fields should be rendered as text instead of deactivated inputs.- We added a "filter option" by adding a field which is referenced by the data table to filter some rows. This only works in edit mode, but it helps.- Hide the unavailable options with CSS This reduced the SQL commands to a single on, as the result is reused for all rows. Of course these are only workarounds, but this is what we faced. On a general level the following would help performance and user experience vice.- Add support for paging, so that not all rows are rendered at the same time, even in edit mode.- Add filtering options. finding a person in hundreds of rows isn't something I like.# JS Rule improvements- Add row with data- Access a row without reference to the visible row number, which would break if we have paging anyway. Maybe a function could be provided to access a row using the DET_ID.# Improvements for wide item lists- Configure which columns can be "frozen", so that they are always visiblehttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/freeze-item-list-column- Provide an "Expand" option / only visible in single row edit window. Example for the "Single row edit" option: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/reduced-item-list-size- Configuration option to show row actions on the left instead of rightThis will especially help for wide item list, with lots of columns.# Prioritize/change row order by drag & dropIf we are using item lists to create workflows for example tasks. it would be nice to change the order by adding drag & drop features. Of course, this will require a "sorting" column. We have done this in two projects.# Define maximum number of item list rows:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/limit-number-of-item-list-rows# Start/update another workflow instance with item list dataWhile we can work around it, by using the public API in an automation, this is no longer part of the SQL transaction and won't be rolled back in case of an error.# Update single row edit dialog DOM with row informationCurrently the single row edit dialog has no context which item list row is displayed:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5257?messageid=5257# Add local parameters to form rule improvementIf you are doing calculations in a form rule, especially in a "for each", it would be great to have local parameters/variables. The current workaround is to call a JS form rule which will store the value and call another to get the value.That's it for now. :)

Single-Use Access and User Verification Error

2026-01-20T13:47:44+01:00

Hi all,I recently moved to a subscription plan and wanted some occasional users to be able to submit requests in the workflow. To achieve this:1. I enabled Single-Use mode in the licensing process.2. In the admin settings, I assigned this type of license to the user.3. I refreshed the licenses in the system to be sure.However, this doesnt seem to work. When the user logs in, they see the following message in the bottom bar:"Single-use access license verification error. Please contact your administrator."I have active tokens available, none of which have been used yet. How can I make this Single-Use license work properly for occasional users?Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Im having trouble determining the manager automatically. Specifically, the problem comes down to the fact that I dont know how to use a dynamic 'user' variable as a parameter.

KSeF Connector | v2.0.0.22 – ksefData returns 406 when payment method is filled

2026-01-19T15:43:31+01:00

Hi everyone,Has anyone experienced a similar issue in the latest WEBCON KSeF Connector v2.0.0.22?For some incoming invoices (from KSeF) the endpoint: /api/data/v1/in/invoices/{id}/ksefData returns 406 Not Acceptable (empty response). In older API version it returns 500 Internal Server Error with:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an objectStack trace points to payment method mapping:WebCon.KSEF.Core.Logic.Tools.Invoice.XMLFieldsGetter.GetChoiceFirstOfType[T](Array items)FormaPlatnosciGetter(...)Whats strange is that whenever the payment method (Forma patnoci) is filled in, the ksefData endpoint returns 406. If the payment method is empty, the invoices are processed correctly and everything works fine.Did anyone already solve this in v2.0.0.22?Thanks!

[solved] Urgent Question Regarding Content Visibility

2026-01-16T15:51:47+01:00

Hi Celina,Suggestions' visibility depends on privileges. A user will only see instances to which they have privileges.Also, this data is not taken from a SQL database, but from a Solr index, which is updated asynchronously (in case of some specific actions it is not updated at all: see https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5383?page=1 ).Based on the above, I'd assume two possibilities:- the permission structure is too wide and user's have access to instances they shouldn't see- data in Solr is not up to date (example scenario: a group of users was granted process-wide permission, the Solr index was manually updated, then the the permission was revoked, but this time index was not updated). This could be easily checked by clicking on a suggestion - if a user can open it, then they have permissions; if they cannot ("Access to the selected workflow instance is denied!"), then Solr index is not up to date and stores security tokens that no longer exist.An easy solution in such case is to enqueue "Clear and reindex process or entire database" task in SOLR indexer queue (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Reports/Reports_Basics/Reports_SOLRIndexerQueue#6-add ).Last, but not least, due to low usefulness of "Suggested" report, some customers hide the navigation button using global CSS styles :)Hope you found above information useful and will be able to solve your issue.

Hi,Currently this is not possible using standard functionalities. I encourage you to submit a suggestion in User Voice: https://community.webcon.com/user-voiceMaybe it could be done with an SDK plugin by implementing a custom attachments control with an option to save user's preferences in the database. Seems like a lot of work for a minor functionality. Standard attachments section cannot be modified with an SDK.

Hi,I have a question from users at my company. We use WEBCON BPS PORTALVersion: 2025.2.1.259. Is it possible to sort attachments at the individual user level (not the entire process) and save these settings so that after exiting a case, attachments remain according to the user's individual preferences? Currently, attachments are sorted by date added throughout the system, but some users need alphabetical sorting with the option to change the attachment name.

Delete attachments with binary data

2026-01-15T10:42:21+01:00

Hi Cezary,Unfortunately there isn't a simple way. Once an attachment is removed, it is flagged as deleted in the database and further actions do not operate on it.The functionality to remove binary data of deleted attachments is in backlog and I hope it will be implemented sooner than later.As a workaround, advanced users may want to manually update ATF_Value to empty string or change ATT_IsDeleted to 0 and then execute an action again.

Hi Radostina,Please check out MailApproval functionality: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/MailApprovalAfter receiving an email notification, clicking buttons will allow users to send a response email to a technical inbox. Then Workflow Service will automatically proceed that email to accept or reject a request.There is also an option to use Outlook add-in, which allows to start/complete tasks without opening a browser, but this will not automatically finish the task. It just allows to embed Portal inside Outlook.https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/outlook-classic-installation-and-use/351/8

Retention - Remove from content database

Hi Ondrej,Check whether your archived instances are present in Archiving queue: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Reports/Reports_Basics/Reports_ArchiveWorkflowInstancesQueueIf they're not there, then the action was not executed successfully and possible reason should be found in action's logs (I'd check WFLogs view on content database).If the instances are present in the queue, then the action was executed successfully (it's done its job), but the Workflow Service cannot proceed tasks in the queue.If the service role is enabled as Maks suggested, then either:- you have not set the night hours in Schedules configuration (you set priority=nighttime in action's configuration, so archiving will be done only during Night hours. See: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/SystemSettings/ServiceConf/Schedules/#1-night-hours ),- another error occurred during last attempt and there should be error messages in the queue

Hi Androsh,There is a known bug on version 2026 which makes Admin access authentication impossible if Portal is running on HTTP. There are two workarounds:- obtaining an SSL certificate, updating IIS bindings and Portal address to https- configuring Active Directory as an authentication provider and user synchronization source via setup.exe -> Tools for application management, then granting your AD account admin privileges via WEBCON BPS System Administrators (see https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/admin-access/589/3 ). Restarting Workflow Service and IIS may be required in this case.Problem should be fixed in upcoming 2026.1.3 patch.Sorry for the inconvenience.

KSeF Connector | 429 API TooManyRequests

2026-01-13T12:00:37+01:00

I have the same issue.Everything was working fine on the KSeF TEST environment, but the problem appeared on DEMO, where the API request limits are much lower.Because of these limits, the KSeF Connector exceeds the allowed number of requests and receives HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests).In this case, the KSeF Connector should adapt to DEMO limits, especially since the production environment is expected to have the same rate limits as DEMO. This means the same problem will most likely occur after the KSeF production go-live.At the moment, we are not able to download even a single invoice from KSeF DEMO.Does anyone know how to configure the connector to respect KSeF rate limits (polling intervals, request throttling, parallelism), or is there any workaround available?msg: Cannot download invoices for company with id: 1 | url: | ex: KSeF.Client.Core.Exceptions.KsefRateLimitException: Przekroczono limit iloci zapyta do API (HTTP 429) at KSeF.Client.Http.RestClient.g__HandleTooManyRequestsAsync|17_5(HttpResponseMessage responseMessage, CancellationToken innerCancellationToken) at KSeF.Client.Http.RestClient.HandleInvalidStatusCode(HttpResponseMessage response, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at KSeF.Client.Http.RestClient.SendCoreAsync[T](HttpRequestMessage httpRequestMessage, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at KSeF.Client.Http.RestClient.SendAsync[TResponse,TRequest](HttpMethod method, String url, TRequest requestBody, String token, String contentType, Dictionary`2 additionalHeaders, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at KSeF.Client.Http.RestClient.SendAsync[TResponse,TRequest](HttpMethod method, String url, TRequest requestBody, String token, String contentType, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at KSeF.Client.Clients.KSeFClient.QueryInvoiceMetadataAsync(InvoiceQueryFilters requestPayload, String accessToken, Nullable`1 pageOffset, Nullable`1 pageSize, SortOrder sortOrder, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at WebCon.KSEF.Core.Logic.Managers.Api.ApiManager.TryInvoicesSynchronizationAsync(InvoiceQueryFilters request, Int32 companyId, Int32 pageSize, Int32 pageOffset) | log: WebCon.KSEF.Core.Logic.Managers.Api.ApiManager

Hi Androsh,if I noticed it correctly you are using the address http://webcon.pl for the BPS portal. I find it strange, that you get a Windows Authentication window at all. After a new installation only the custom authentication "Admin access" is enabled and the windows authentication needs to be enabled in the designer studio afterwards.Therefore I'm assuming, that the request does go to a different server. Did you configure the DNS or at least the hosts file on the server that webcon.pl is pointing to the server?Btw. even if this is a local system, I advise against using an unsecured connection.Best regards,Daniel

License download error

2026-01-12T09:27:05+01:00

I confirm. Rolling back to 2025 build 259 does not cause a freemium license issue. Probably the last best/good* version is the one without sending statistics from April 2025, i.e. 2025.1.1.152 :)And the funniest thing is that there is no information about the licensing change in the 2026 changelog - coincidence?

License download error

2026-01-12T08:32:21+01:00

Wow. Thanks a lot. Daniel, I could always count on you :)I'm shocked that there's only a time-limited demo now. I haven't visited the main WebCon website in a long time, not counting this forum. So, what I've been warned about so many times has been confirmed: using low-code or no-code tools and platforms is very dangerous in terms of dependency and arbitrary decisions by the manufacturer, who can change any part of their platform at any time, leaving you with applications that will sooner or later force you to make a costly migration to another solution.It's actually good that this happened to me at such an early stage (advanced testing). No more low-code platforms. :] I have all backups starting from 2022, but I don't want to work on the old version without security patches. Unfortunately, it was probably only a matter of time before they introduced statistics on WebCon usage in the Freeminium version. I guess there were too many such instances, and someone tightened the screws.Thanks again for the tip; thanks to you, I won't be banging my head against the wall. I even read the source code for the license activation environment to solve my problem... very interesting, by the way ;]PS. The default sorting seems to have been changed on this forum too :) I actually thought that adding a new comment would move the topic to the top :)Best regards and good luck

Hi nobody,you are probably aware that the adding a reply to an existing thread doesn't move the thread up. It will only be visible, if someone clicks on "Latest answers". I can't tell you anything about the error, but I hope you have a backup of the 2025 version. I recently learned, that the freemium/express version has been discontinued and was replaced with a 30/90 day trial as of 2026.https://webcon.com/get-started/You mentioned that you did have a 2025 version and you joined the forum 4 years ago therefore you installation very likely hit this limit. Which may be the reason for the error or not. Even if this isn't the case, I doubt that you will be able to continue to use WEBCON with the 2026 version. I'm only interpreting this, so I may be wrong.Best regards,Daniel

2026-01-11T20:30:13+01:00

Today updated to 2026 build (91) nothing changed... I'm ready to abandon all plans and projects related to the WebCon platform; this environment has been giving me such a hard time lately. If it were a production environment, I probably wouldn't even wait.I've scoured the internet for general opinions about WebCon and I'm truly surprised that there's so little information and opinions on independent, objective websites about this platform. This is truly strange, and I'm concerned that this might be due to marketing and the company's ongoing image protection.If I can't address the licensing issue by the end of the month, I'll give up not only on WebCon but also on all other low-code platforms and share my 10 years of experience working with them. They have their advantages, but I currently see more disadvantages.

Hi,There is a web admin panel for the KSeF connector.(Every environment has its own admin panel) You can log in via AD (if you have been added to the admin group in the KSeF connector) or by using the admin password.(created during installation)Maybe you exceeded the invoice download limit?(If I remember correctly, this limit is set based on the license purchased from Webcon.)

Issue: Activities still running, Activity MailBoxes is still running for database Ids: 8

Hello everyone,Has anyone encountered an issue with processing the HotMailBox? I have a mailbox that occasionally gets stuck, and the only way to resolve it seems to be restarting the Webcon Workflow Service.It appears that Webcon attempts to import an email but gets stuck in the process and never completes it.Any tips or suggestions would be highly appreciated.Thanks,Martin

What field type do you recommend?

2026-01-07T13:35:49+01:00

Hello everyone, which form field type would you recommend for the following use case? I would like to classify customers, where one customer can have multiple classifications. The classifications should be selectable via a multiple checkbox, so that, for example, a customer can have classifications A, F, and G. On the corresponding report page with the report table, I would then like to be able to filter, e.g. to show all customers that have classification G. Currently I am working with "Choice list". But in the report, the column creates a separate filter for each combination of entries. For example, for a customer who has classifications A and B, it creates its own filter that must be selected, just as it does for a customer whose classification column contains B and C. However, when I set the filter, I then have to choose whether to show customers who have A and B or B and C. Is there a way to implement this more simply?For example, is there the same checklist-style selection available on the report page as well, so that the user can also filter there by selecting one or more checkboxes to decide which customers should ultimately be displayed?Thank you in advance for your ideas!Regards, Matthias

API Definitions running mode - Actions on a workflow instance

2025-12-31T16:17:55+01:00

Hi everybody,According to the documentation (2025 R2), there should be a running mode for API Definitions (User Defined API) called Actions on a workflow instance which, depending on the selected action, allows using PATCH requests:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/APIDefinition/#2-running-modeHowever, in my 2025 R2 environment I can only see these running modes:Run automationGet data from data sourceGet data from element instanceThe tooltip in Designer for Get data from element instance says: Allows you to retrieve element instance data from the process where the user API is defined. The mode supports GET requests.Am I missing something, or is Actions on a workflow instance available only in a different version/build?Thanks in advance!

Excel Templates: Standard Layout and Report-Specific Templates

2025-12-24T14:43:36+01:00

Hi Michael,If I understood the case correctly, this could be implemented in WEBCON as follows:1. Create a Document Dictionary in WEBCON to manage the different templates. 2. Create a Choice Field for categorizing the templates. You can use a "Fixed Value List" as the data source (e.g., Default, Monthly, Analysis, etc.). 3. Upload the individual templates and assign the appropriate category to each. 4. In the main process, these templates can then be used: -Through actions, the templates can be selected and applied either directly by ID or using business rules and this custom categories, the template ID can be determined dynamically and then applied. The exact approach depends on the specific use case. - Document generation can also be triggered via a menu button, providing users with an easy way to initiate it. - The complexity of the logic depends on the specific use case. Here is a helpful link about menu buttons: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Button/#menu-buttons These links might also be useful: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/template-update-in-the-document-templates-process/74/4 https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_GenerateExcel Much depends on the specific project, but these would be the steps I would take if I understood correctly.Best regards Maryna

Webcon standard areas and page design

2025-12-16T13:58:58+01:00

Hi Leo,how are you displaying the WEBCON sites in SharePoint?WEBCON provides the option to create an embeddable URL, which could be used in an iFrame. This will hide the top and left area of the page..../embed/v1/app/4f9c220b-b7e9-4715-b03c-681ef70d8f6c/dashboards/90ae6d0c-f2cd-44ee-bec2-49ae7f701d74?linkMode=3Maybe this will help you. There also was once a query parameter for to collapse the navigation pane. The biggest draw back was, that this set the default value, whether the navigation would be displayed or not.

Webcon standard areas and page design

2025-12-16T10:41:11+01:00

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding Webcon standard areas and page design.We have a Webcon application that is linked through our SharePoint intranet, and users open the application from there. Regardless of how the application is accessed, the left panel is always displayed by default, as this seems to be standard Webcon behavior. This panel allows users to select a dashboard, view their tasks, and access other options. If my description is unclear, I can attach a screenshot for reference.Is it possible to configure this panel so that it is collapsed by default for every user, either globally, for a specific application, or under certain conditions? I could imagine that this might be achievable with a JavaScript-based solution, but I am not sure whether this is supported or recommended.If you are certain that there is no way to achieve this, please let me know so I can stop researching it Thanks in advance for your help, and happy holidays to everyone!

Webcon bps user cal -> too many used

2025-12-15T20:27:12+01:00

Hi Pawel, we have already contacted our partner to purchase more CALs as soon as possible. However, could you tell us how big that "license margin" is? - How many additional licenses can be used, and for what period, before the environment is locked and before that notification appears on the portal?

Webcon bps user cal -> too many used

2025-12-15T16:58:46+01:00

WEBCON BPS has a margin that allows for periodic license overruns. This is implemented to prevent the environment from locking if the limit is accidentally exceeded. However, an appropriate notification should appear in the portal when the license limit has been reached. Please contact us directly (pawel.jawien@webcon.com), and we will clarify the matter.Best RegardsPawel Jawien

Why doesnt Webcon show any message that too many licenses are being used? Webcon works fine, and all processes run without issues.Webcon 2025, perpetual license

Delete attachments with binary data

2025-12-10T15:19:12+01:00

Hi everyone!Is there a standardized way to remove binary data from the ATF_Value column in attachments?This column displays values like 0x[] whenever an attachment exists on the form. However, when we delete the attachment manually, the binary data is still visible because its stored in the elements history logs.When I use the Delete attachments action with the options all and delete attachments and all historical binary data, it correctly removes the attachments and clears the data from this column but only if the attachment is still present on the form.If the attachment is deleted manually first, and then the action is triggered, the binary data in this column is not removed.Does anyone know a simple way to delete this binary data?

merge attachments

2025-12-09T11:23:44+01:00

Hi, check the "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action available in version 2025. There, you can write an SQL query that returns the ATT_ID, and it will merge all the files into a single document.Here is the link to the description:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_MergeAttachments

Freemium License – Failed to Activate Some Modules, Safe Mode Triggered

2025-12-04T15:00:41+01:00

I found solution for my case. At the beginning I've installed WEBCON with separate Attachment database. I don't remember how it was done - maybe for testing puposes it was DEMO version or I've used some regular licence from my other company? But the environment was working fine for some time and after that I wanted to change licence to Freemium. And after that serivces stopped starting with error "No license for Front-end." in logs.But this error description is not right. After I log to portal like regular user I got error showed in attachment:in Polish: Brak licencji WorkFlow Front-end. Edycja Freemium nie zezwala na uycie bazy danych zacznikw.Eng probably: No WorkFlow Front-end license. The Freemium edition does not allow the use of the attachments database.And this was the real couse. I needed to detach attachment database from environment (luckily it was empty). After that the problem dissapearSo @WEBCON dev team - please fix the error message. It took me few hours to figure it out :)

Add a CC task where it's necessary in the config of apps (this would require more work for sure).

Question: Viewing Combined Task Reports for Supervisors

2025-12-04T13:53:39+01:00

Hello,Is it possible to create a single report that shows both a user's own tasks and the tasks of their subordinates?We have a scenario where supervisors and their team members perform similar tasks and use the same Process and Workflows. Currently, it's difficult to display both sets of tasks on one consolidated report. I am aware of the feature to view a report from a subordinate's perspective, but users have expressed a need to see their own tasks alongside their subordinates' tasks simultaneously.Could you please advise if this functionality exists or can be configured?Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,I don't really understand what you want to achieve.- You get x invoices , number, vendor, date- Each invoice has y lines, article, price quantityDo you have one process with two item list, one for the invoice and one for the invoice lines or do you want to create one workflow instance for each invoice and populate an item list with the invoice lines?Without knowing the whole use case, I would assume that the later would be better, for any kind of approval workflow or similar. Even if I'm wrong and you want to populate two item lists in one workflow instance, I don't see the issue. I would:- Retrieve all invoices- Foreach invoice -- Add a row to the first item list-- Fetch the invoice lines-- Add rows to the second item list with the invoice lines and add a column to store the the invoice number as a reference.I created an SDK action some years ago to populate an item list from an XML file. Maybe this could be a good starting point for you.Code:https://github.com/Daniel-Krueger/webcon_xmlToItemList/blob/main/CC_XmlToItemList/XMLtoItemList.csBlog post https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/custom-action-xml-to-item-listBest regards,Daniel

SDK - Variable item list on the invoices

2025-12-02T22:04:44+01:00

Hi,I have a process that works with invoices. Each invoice contains a variable number of line items (name, price, VAT, etc.). Using an SDK, Im retrieving these invoices from an API. Since the number of invoices and the number of line items per invoice can vary, how should I configure the SDK so that each line item is correctly mapped to a item list in the process? Is there a specific mapping method for handling a dynamic number of invoice items?Thanks!

What is the easiest way to make an application/process read only

2025-12-01T14:38:56+01:00

Hi Maryna,I wasn't aware that this endpoint exists.In the end we decided to modify the privileges on database level directly. But we saved the original permissions to an Excel file before, so that we could revert the changes.Hm, maybe I should create a new user voice to mark an application / process as readonly.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Daniel,What about this approach:- First, identify all workflow instances where the affected users still have "open tasks".- Then finish those tasks programmatically, e.g. via REST API:Community post: The finish all users tasks option - https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-finish-all-users-tasks-option/24/3REST endpoint: POST /api/data/v7.0/db/{dbId}/elements/{id}/admin/tasks/finishallDocs: REST API finish all tasks - https://developer.webcon.com/2026/resources/rest_api7.0/index.html#tag/PublicApiElements/paths/~1api~1data~1v7.0~1db~1%7BdbId%7D~1elements~1%7Bid%7D~1admin~1tasks~1finishall/post-After that, if necessary, adjust permissions so that users only have Read access.Best regards Maryna

What is the easiest way to make an application/process read only

2025-11-27T21:28:18+01:00

Hi everyone,maybe someone has a good idea for this request. One application will be migrated from WEBCON to another platform. The users should still be able to view the data but they shouldn't be able to modify it.While this isn't a problem the process privilege level, the users didn't work correctly with the system and now have hundreds of open tasks. Which in turn means, the users with those tasks have also a personal edit privilege.I haven't come up with a good way how to solve this. These are the options I thought about:- Modify the privileges in the database directly- Change the field field matrix to read only for all processes in the application- Create a path enable quick path and reassign the tasks to service user.- Unassign the licenses from the usersI want to refrain modifying the database directly and editing the process. I also can't unassign the licenses because it a perpetual license.Does someone have a good idea for this request?Best regards,Daniel

Hi Franz,if you use the SQL query in the Merge Attachments action you are free to select whatever attachments you want.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_MergeAttachments#4-sql-queryI haven't checked the latest 2025 Version but in the 2026 R1 version the issue is fixed, that the order of the SQL query has been ignored during the merge process.,If you want to save the files from the database on a hard drive, I would use PowerShell. This would be a part of the solution___The query to get all relevant files and their length______Iterating over the result set___ $fileLength = $row.FileLength$fileContentQuery = @"SELECT TOP 1 ATF_Value FROM [$AttachmentDatabaseName].[dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles] WHERE ATF_ATTID = $attId ORDER BY ATF_Version DESC"@$fileContentResult = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ConnectionString $ConnectionString -Query $fileContentQuery -MaxBinaryLength $fileLength$fileContent = $fileContentResult.ATF_Value____Define the file path / name____[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($filePath, $fileContent)

2025-11-25T12:11:43+01:00

Hi, You can try copying this field not from the URL parameters, but, for example, using the "Change value" action on the element's save path.You would have to pass the WFD_ID of the source element to the technical field and then use SQL to retrieve the image in the action.However, this has the disadvantage that it will only be visible after the element is saved (of course, you can also pass the path to the element in the URL and save the element immediately).

REST API, multiple search fields or filters

2025-11-20T17:27:27+01:00

Hi all,I browsed through the documentation for the public REST API as well as other threads here but couldn't find anything to help with my issue.My requirement is to check if workflows for certain criteria are already created and I need more than one search criteria for an exact match.I am useing the PublicApiSearch with an request URL like this:data/v5.0/db/1/applications/9/search?search=WFD_AttText1:XYZThis checks just fine if attribute WFD_AttText1 contains the value 'XYZ'However, how would I go about checking WFD_AttText1 for 'XYZ' and WFD_AttText2 for 'ABC' at the same time in one request?I tried with several separators and concatenations without success, also wasn't able to use the "filters" query option.Anyone able to offer guidance on the matter?Cheers,Tobi

Third-party QR code

2025-11-19T21:30:31+01:00

Hi Radostina,ok, maybe I'm a bit confused because it seems to be so clear for me, but I would do the following in your case:- Create two QR codes with the standard WEBCON functionality- Scan each code with an online QR code scanner- Identify the differencesThen you will notice that (probably) the only variable is the workflow instance id, the number after the element part in the URL.If you the dictionary records already exist in advance, you could send the instance id to the third party, they could replace it in the string and generate an URL QR Code.If it doesn't exist, you have no chance to generate this URL.Best regards,Daniel

Third-party QR code

2025-11-19T15:33:42+01:00

Hi Radostina,It is not possible to directly link to a website if QR code doesn't have link to the website itself, that's on the basics.My assumptions:1. QR Code contains some kind of identifier for equipment which is stored in Webcon dictionary but comes from external system. We need to have some link (common identifier) between webcon dictionary of equipment items and the external system.What you could do given above assumption:1. Create a new form with a single field, add possibility to scan barcode into that field. This field should be a dropdown of values from the dictionary, and searchable by the field which contains external identifier.2. On field change add 'path' transition.3. On path transition add Hyperlink action*, which would redirect to webcon url with id calculated based on the dropdown field.This solution requires end user to scan those barcodes using this specific webcon form, it won't open with regular barcode reader, as the qr code doesn't have direct link to the document.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/Form/Action_HyperlinkFor questions you ask:- What is the minimal data that the external QR code must contain so that WEBCON can uniquely identify and open the correct dictionary record?A: For solution above, webcon should have access to the identifier in external system - each element of dictionary in webcon should point to exactly one element in external system (that should be the value of QR code).- How exactly is the link between the scanned third-party QR code and the Equipment dictionary record established in the system?A: We don't know if that webcon dictionary and external system are linked at all in your applications, that's what we would need to know to give you a better answer than guesses.

Hi Daniel,The QR code will NOT be generated by WEBCON BPS.It will be created and provided by an external/third-party system, physically printed, and then glued onto the actual equipment.When an end user (customer/technician) scans this third-party QR code with their phone, we need WEBCON to:- Recognize which exact equipment item it refers to- Open the corresponding record (InstanceID) in our Equipment dictionary.Questions:- What is the minimal data that the external QR code must contain so that WEBCON can uniquely identify and open the correct dictionary record?- How exactly is the link between the scanned third-party QR code and the Equipment dictionary record established in the system?Thanks in advance

There's a button in the info panel at the bottom "Generate QR Code for instance". If this is scanned by a device this link will either open the instance in the browser or in the installed mobile App.Here's a stripped example of the link.../openinmobileapp?mode=openUrl&url=https%3A%2F%2F...%2Fdb%2F20%2Fapp%2F21%2Felement%2F3983%2FformWould this be sufficient for your case?

Dear all, We maintain an Equipment dictionary that stores unique records for items used in field operations outdoor. I need to determine whether it is possible to configure WEBCON BPS so that scanning a QR code with a mobile device (via phone camera ) can directly open the corresponding dictionary instance. The key requirement is that the QR code is generated by an external system, not by WEBCON. In other words, a pre-printed, third-party QR code should be scanned, and based on the encoded value, WEBCON must identify the specific equipment item and open its dictionary instanceID .What is the minimal data structure that the external QR code must contain so that WEBCON can resolve the dictionary record? How is the link between the scanned QR code and the dictionary record established?Thanks in advance!

Question: automatic workflow function

2025-11-18T14:23:00+01:00

Hi,I'd say there are multiple ways to do it, the one that feels most natural for me is an Start Workflow (SQL) action*.Inside of the data part you can put in a query like this:WITH Numbers AS ( SELECT 1 AS n UNION ALL SELECT n + 1 FROM Numbers WHERE n < 12 -- Limit of meetings)SELECT n AS AppointmentNumber, DATEADD(DAY, (n - 1) * 3, CAST('2025-11-18' AS DATE)) AS AppointmentDate -- Occurrence *3 ... ... here just use values from the picker and alias them as column names, ...FROM NumbersOPTION (MAXRECURSION 12); -- This should be equal to limit value, You could also create a list item on the form, and create a list of meetings visible to the user (form rules can add items to the list), and then using for each operator just create a meeting based on the rows.* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartManyWorkFlows/

Question: automatic workflow function

2025-11-18T14:16:36+01:00

Hi,since you already have the interval and the number of appointments, I think this would be the simplest way, without to much SQL:1. Create an automation with a parameter "Meeting in x Days" and "Next Date"2. Create a for each3. Change the collection type to data source and use "Current BPS database"4. Add an SQL Statement to return the number of rows with the according number for example 1, 2 ,3 , 4. 5. Set "Meeting in x Days" to interval * row number6. Calculate the "Next date" using the first date and the "Meeting in x Days" value7. Start the workflow with the appropriate values.For 3:You could use this where you replace 7 with the number of intervalshttps://www.codelabs365.com/sql-cookbook/sql-server/tsql-generate-numbers-table-for-a-range-of-numbers/WITH cte_print (number)AS (-- Anchor member returns the start numberSELECT 1UNION ALL-- Recursive member that references to the CTE name returns 1 + the previous numberSELECT number + 1FROM cte_printWHERE number < 7 -- Termination condition for recursive call)SELECT *FROM cte_printAlternatively you could create a fixed value list with a few numbers and use the filter dialog.Best regards,Daniel

Question: automatic workflow function

2025-11-18T13:28:28+01:00

Hello everyone,Im working on an appointment function in WEBCON BPS. A user registers an appointment and types in the date and time when, for example, a customer is coming. When I click Register, I want BPS to automatically create more workflows (appointments) based on this one.My idea is: the user also enters an interval (e.g. every 7 days) and a limit (how many appointments). Then BPS should create:the main workflow date with e.g. 01.01.2026 (the user typed in)the next one with 08.01.2026 (created automatically)the next one with 15.01.2026 and so on, all with the same data as the parent workflow, just different dates.Is that possible in WEBCON BPS? Do you have an idea how to implement this (maybe with SQL)?Thanks!

Column in 'Usage' eventho its not

2025-11-15T09:29:13+01:00

Hi,Clicking the Refresh button synchronises the columns in the item list with the underlying data source/SQL query. This means that any columns returned by the query will be added automatically. One practical challenge is that a single data source can be reused in multiple places and often contains more columns than are required for a specific item list. In such cases, it is not always feasible to reduce the number of columns in the shared data source or SQL query directly. My recommendation in this scenario is as follows: - If possible, adjust the SQL query (or view) for this specific use case so that it only returns the columns that are required for the item list. - Use the Refresh button once to import all columns, then manually remove the unnecessary ones and avoid further refreshes unless the data source structure changes.Best regards Maryna

Using Row Level Security for PowerBI reports

2025-11-13T10:06:38+01:00

Hi Klaus,if it should mimic 'current' access to document as is in Webcon, then it's as "simple" as joining with WFSecurities, CacheOrganizationStructureGroupRelations, and CacheOrganizationStructure, then just filter by current user using USERPRINCIPALNAME() or USERNAME() DAX functions.An example query how to join with WFSecurities can be found here: https://github.com/lumenn/webcon-privileges-lookup/blob/main/PrivilegesLookupQuery.sqlIt might be on the heavy side of queries, especially if there are some aggregates, but that's how you could technically achieve it.It's not a db level row security though, and if user would connect to the db directly, then nothing stops them from querying anything else (but this goes for whole platform).

Column in 'Usage' eventho its not

2025-11-13T09:41:17+01:00

There is a column (Co_Id) in an item list that states that it is used in an replace item list action.However the Action is not using this column.See the pictures in the attachments.For more information, as far as i know the replace item list used an action template in the template settings.The Template was changed so that it does not include the "Co_Id" column anymore. The actions that used the form template also reflect the change when opening the configuration, yet the column still states that is being used there.Interestingly the Column is not directly used by the Action Template only in the action that used it as template.

Hi everybody,I was wondering if it is possible to use row level security for build in PowerBI reports on a dashboard?Or more concrete:Each Workflow element in Webcon has rights defined, i.e. who can see an element and its attachments or not.

Error sending a POST request (System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException)

2025-11-07T08:42:03+01:00

Hi Radoslaw,I don't think this is a WEBCON related issue. The big issue here is of course the random timeouts.I would test the following:- If it's possible, I would execute the same POST requests with PowerShell for some time and see, whether the behavior is the same. Of course this would be a problem, if this requests creates data and you don't have a test environment on other side.- If you don't have access to the target system or it doesn't log any incoming requests, setup HTTPToolkit on the WEBCON server and run it as a proxy. This way you will be able to see the outgoing HTTP Requests. Maybe this will helphttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2022/debug-web-service-datasource#configuration-of-http-toolkitBest regards,Daniel

Calculated Column - SQL Query from another workflow

2025-11-05T09:07:34+01:00

I'd say don't ever use ID in calculated columns - always go for GUID if you don't want to have broken views after every export/import to prod.Here is updated query based on Krystians answer:(SELECT SUM(WFD_AttDecimal1) AS TotalWorkingDaysFROM WFElementsLEFT OUTER JOIN WFSteps ON STP_ID = WFD_STPIDWHERE WFD_AttChoose4 = wfelems.WFD_AttChoose1AND STP_GUID = 'HERE THE GUID'AND YEAR(WFD_AttDateTime2) = YEAR(GETDATE()))

Wow, Adam thats some impressive digging! I tried what you suggested, but in the Logitude Invoices application theres actually no reference to VGM. So to me, this definitely looks like a bug. Hopefully someone from WEBCON sees this and adds it to the backlog.Cheers,Martin

2025-11-05T07:56:22+01:00

Hi Patryk,And just remember that WFD_STPID will be different for DEV/TEST/PROD environments (if you want to indicate a specific step you should use the GUID).

“Choose application” search not filtering correctly

2025-11-04T19:32:43+01:00

Dear Martin,Ive investigated this case further and noticed the same behavior in my own installation.For example, I have an application called Wnioski HR. When I search for wni, the results include many applications, and Wnioski HR appears near the bottom of the list. However, searching for wnio filters the results correctly, returning only Wnioski HR.Additionally, I discovered that the text wni appears in various elements of all returned applications - such as application descriptions, workflow tile names or descriptions, and report names.You can verify this by opening an application page (e.g., Logitude Invoices) and using Ctrl + F to search for vgm. This is how I identified why other applications are included in the Choose application search results.Based on this, it seems the search query is not limited to the application name but also considers other metadata.Hopefully, this helps explain why the behavior occurs and gives you some ideas for further investigation.

Calculated Column - SQL Query from another workflow

2025-11-04T19:17:22+01:00

Thanks, it mostly works. The problem is that I can't filter by value of another column from the report.So I have this report where I have employee column (WFD_Attchoose1) and for this employee I need to do the select. So in each row I need to reference this employee and I don't know how to do it, how to pass this value into the script. (SELECT SUM(WFD_AttDecimal1) AS TotalWorkingDaysFROM WFElementsWHERE WFD_AttChoose4 LIKE --- This I need to reference from report column so put per row value of AttChoose1 --- AND WFD_STPID = 252 AND YEAR(WFD_AttDateTime2) = YEAR(GETDATE()))

Calculated Column - SQL Query from another workflow

2025-11-04T18:46:42+01:00

Dear Patryk, if I understand your question correctly, you can use wfelems (alias) in query.Here is an example of the query I use to get value from another (related) workflow (in this case it's Signature) in calculated column (I use type text):(select WFD_Signature as Signaturefrom WFElementswhere wfelems.WFD_WFDID = WFD_ID and WFD_DTYPEID = ''')I also specify WFD_DTYPEID "filter" results for specific workflow. Hope this helps you solve your case.

I have a few cases where I need to pivot certain information.

“Choose application” search not filtering correctly

2025-11-03T11:20:10+01:00

Hi Adam,Yes, I checked the access privileges. Its happening with my admin users, which are the same users who created the application. :)Ive attached the printscreens. As you can see, when I start typing VGM, it switches to All and shows the VGM application in the last position. I have to scroll down to see it. The above applications have nothing to do with VGM and neither does the string VGM appear in their names, descriptions, or anywhere else. The same issue occurs when I switch to Most used, where VGM appears in the last position.

Email template for different processes

2025-10-30T06:51:36+01:00

Hi Nik,we are using an unsupported feature. While the expression editor is limited in the variables, you can still try to access other common variables. For example we are using the APP_GUID and are executing global business rules.If the image is a link you could play around with something like thisstyle>headerImage_APPGUID1 { content:url(..)}headerImage_APPGUID2 { content:url(..)}headerImage_APPGUID3 { content:url(..)}/style>img class="headerImage_{APP_GUID}"/>I removed the leading < because the forum wouldn't display the text otherwise.Alternatively you could use a global business rule to return the image.Best regards,Daniel

Business rule to give the last transition path

2025-10-28T08:23:12+01:00

Hi Klaus,while the answers of Krystian and Jacek are both valid options I want to add something:- It may be necessary to check whether you get the expected value in the trigger. There's a chance that you may get different values in the OnExit, OnPath and OnEntry trigger.- If you have a flow control, and you want to get the path the user clicked on you need to exclude the path triggered by the flow control. The SQL below can be used in a global business rule- Sometimes it will be easier to have a technical field in which you store the id of the travelled path. I used this approach when there was a workflow which moved the instance from different steps to a "review" step which again had the option to move to a "review 2" step. The reviews could be moved back and forth and in the end the workflow should be moved back to the original step, which started the review. While it would somehow be possible using the existing data, it would have been way more complicated.Best regards,Danielselect Top 1 PathIdfrom (selectROW_NUMBER() Over (order by (select 1)) as Id,Item as PathId,(select PATH_STPID from WFAvaiblePaths where PATH_ID = Item) as StepIdfrom dbo.SplitToTable((select WFD_HistoryPaths from WFElements where WFD_ID = {WFD_ID}),';')) as paths where StepId in-- Only steps which are not flow control steps need to be considered(select WFSteps.STP_ID from WFSteps where STP_TypeId 7 )order by paths.Id desc

Where to find in designer studio workflow path usage statistics in v. 2025?

2025-10-26T08:59:48+01:00

In **Webcon BPS 2025.1.1**, the workflow path usage visualization that was available in older Designer Studio versions has been restructured. Its no longer directly accessible from the Workflow Designer view. Instead, similar functionality is now part of the **Analytics** module within the **Portal** section. There, you can analyze workflow statistics, including path execution counts and transition frequencies. You may need to enable or configure the analytics dashboards first, depending on your license. The legacy visual path counter view from 2022 was deprecated in favor of these broader analytical tools.

Hi everyone, Im trying to display numeric values in WEBCON BPS Word printouts with thousand separators (for example, 1.000,00 instead of 1000,00). Interestingly, in Item Lists (tables) the formatting is shown correctly with thousand separators.However, in regular form fields (for example, floating-point numbers), the values are displayed without the separator.

Calculated Column in Report (V2025)

2025-10-21T07:17:29+02:00

You need to use wfelems.WFD_ID because WFD_ID alone isnt recognized inside the subquery.At that level, SQL doesnt know which table the column belongs to.By adding the alias wfelems (which i think refers to the V_WFElements view in the main query), SQL can correctly link both tables.So the correct version is:(SELECTdbo.ClearWFElemAdv(DET_Att3)FROM WFElementDetailsWHERE DET_WFCONID = 9579AND DET_WFDID = wfelems.WFD_IDAND dbo.ClearWFElemID(DET_Att1) = 1)

Data migration

2025-10-14T21:00:55+02:00

Everything is fine on those mentioned parts, except the data we get in the end. Each instance created from that action, should only have values from those 2 fields that are in the query by my understanding.

Data migration

2025-10-14T17:24:36+02:00

Hi,Can you show a preview of this query with the fields replaced? (You should have columns matching the column names in WFElements, e.g., WFD_AttText1 or WFD_Attint1)Standord_id - looks ok.Position - you need to provide "Database field name" without the "- Name."I can't check right now, but if I remember correctly, these fields should be visible and editable in the attribute matrix at the first step.

Data migration

2025-10-14T15:20:16+02:00

Hi, I'm going through data migration process via sharepoint lists and the protocol that I want to achieve it with is by using cyclical actions. I've created an automation that is runing subworkflow(sql) and there is a problem with mapping. Data source has exact values that I need, and I'm using them as intended but the problem is I'm getting data rows I don't want and even then those queried fields are still not applied to created instances after running the action, so that leads me to believing that something is wrong. In the end, instances created are empty and those 2 fields I only used for testing purposes are still not applied.

Database diagram / physical data model

HI Roman,there's also this knowledgebase post which describes the tables in which the elements of the Designer Studio are stored.https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/configuration-tables-in-webcon-bps/158/26This is a bit outdated as the automations didn't exist in 2020. Don't ask how we worked before them, you don't want to know the answer. :)There's also one other important information.In English the term "Fields" is used in the Designer Studio but in polish it's something similar to 'Attribute''. As attribute already sounds like English you will see some posts which use 'attribute ' instead of 'field'Best regards,Daniel

Hi Roman,there is a documentation* to the database, but it's not a diagram, if you need the diagram then the best way would be to create one yourself in the SSMS.Relationships are maintained with proper keys, so the diagram basically builds itself.Main tables you will need:* WFElements* WFElementDetails* WFDocTypes* WorkFlows* WFConfigurations* WFDefinitions* WFApplications* WFHistoryElements* WFHistoryElementDetails*https://developer.webcon.com/2025/resources/db/?PageSpeed=off

2025-10-13T15:51:57+02:00

Hi to all. As a consultant who needs to dive regularly into the database using SQL I'm surprised that there is no physical data model diagram in the documentation. A visual representation of tables and their dependancies provides a very useful overview about how data is structured, maintained and related. In SQL server there is a option to add a new database diagram and thus my question: could Webcon, as a software vendor, provide and maintain the database diagram OR is it up to the implementation team to build their diagrams? Or maybe this is already documented and I'm just missing the link?Later edit: I wanted to add the post to the Database topic but unfortunately it ended up in the Data Sources one. If an admin can move it, I will be obliged.

Hi Martin, there's an ugly workaround for the transport issue.I've defined constants for each required id. In my case it was application and dashboard. Then I used a calculated column to fetch the value from the constant using the GUID.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/deploying-database-scripts#getting-constant-values-in-reportsThis blog post is already four years old and we are still limited to the existing variables..Best regards,Daniel

Webcon “wakes up” slowly in the morning, now timing out on LicenceService

Webcon “wakes up” slowly in the morning, now timing out on LicenceService

2025-10-13T07:27:46+02:00

Martin,Yes, the first page load after a server restart in IIS is slower due to whats known as a cold start the web application must fully initialize before it can serve requests efficiently. While there are ways to reduce this delay, some form of cold start overhead is unavoidable.To help mitigate this, consider creating a simple script that runs after each server restart to trigger an initial request to the site (e.g., curl -I https://yourWEBCONserver/). This proactively warms up the application so that users experience faster response times for subsequent visits.Best.

Data Row not refreshing after changing dependent field (REST Web Service source)

2025-10-10T17:34:37+02:00

Hi everyone,Ive recently encountered the following problem:I have a form with a picker field where I select a customer. After choosing a value, several data rows display information related to this customer. Some of them use SQL queries, while two use REST Web Service data sources.The data rows that fetch data using SQL reload correctly whenever the client attribute value changes. However, the ones that use REST do not refresh.I had a similar issue with data tables in the past and solved it by using JavaScript to simulate clicking the reload button each time a dependent attribute value changed. Unfortunately, the Data Row control doesnt have a reload button.Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?Thank you very much in advance and have a great day! :)

2025-10-10T14:23:56+02:00

Okay, now I understand what you're asking :)The second version from the designer studio will not show you the information because you don't have the data saved that you have in the first screenshot.You have to assume that the action you are performing dynamically retrieves this data during the execution of the action, so it will work well for you on the form - the designer will not substitute the data you expect, but the action will retrieve the data during execution - test it :)

Oracle DB connection setup in WEBCON BPS

Where can I find information in the database about the licenses used?

2025-10-10T11:14:23+02:00

Hi Sawek, I've been trying to find the place that gives same numbers as reports in designer studio, and after checking i think every table which could have it I've connected with Webcon via support.There is and API endpoint which is used by Designer Studio to fetch info about used licenses: /studio/db/1/getsimplelicencereport, you can use the same endpoint.1. Register API Application with any scope (Admin.Licenses.Read is suggested, but in that case it doesn't really matter).2. Assing that API user Administrator Privileges on Studio3. Login to the API via OAuth4. Call /studio/db/1/getsimplelicencereport endpoint.This will return you a json structure as in attached file.It doesn't answer directly your question, as this is not in the database, but that's how you get same numbers as those displayed on reports tab in designer studio :)

Oracle DB connection setup in WEBCON BPS

Hi everyone, Im trying to set up a connection from WEBCON BPS (2025 R2) to an Oracle database, but the documentation I found is quite limited. It only shows fields like user, password, and service name, but theres nothing about host, port, a full connection string, or any driver requirements.Apologies if I missed something obvious maybe the documentation is out there and I just couldn't find it.So my questions are:How exactly does WEBCON connect to an Oracle database?Do I need to install any specific driver or client (like ODP.NET, Oracle Client, etc.)?Where do I configure host and port or are they handled automatically?Is there any example of a working connection string or full setup?Id really appreciate any tips or examples from someone whos already done this.

Hi Martin, Not sure if this is the right place to mention it, but it might be worth checking whether SQL Server is automatically closing some of the WEBCON BPS databases. This can happen if the AUTO_CLOSE option is enabled - especially common with SQL Server Express editions, where it's turned on by default.You can verify this setting with the following query:SELECT name, is_auto_close_onFROM sys.databases;If any database has AUTO_CLOSE set to ON, you can disable it using:ALTER DATABASE [YourDatabaseName] SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF;Best.

Creating Structure Organization Data Source with Organization Structure data type in SQL Source

I wanted to make New SQL Data Source with data type: Organization Structure to use it to my holiday process.When I use original source from AD -> CEO and Managers can see all of their employess. But people in each team don't see their coworkers from another teams.So I wanted to make a new SQL Source to improve Gant Chart in Holiday Process.I used data from Workers Profile in BPS. Everything looks fine but there is one problem - CEO don't see everyone - he can see only his profile.According to information while creating SQL Data Source :Wymagane kolumnyRaport informacji o uytkownikach i strukturze firmyCSTR_UserID* - Identyfikator uytkownika. Wartoci w kolumnie musz by unikalne.CSTR_Login* - BPS ID. Wartoci w kolumnie musz by unikalne.CSTR_Name* - Nazwa uytkownikaCSTR_Superior* - Unikalny identyfikator przeoonego - CSTR_UserID (null jeli uytkownik nie ma przeoonego)CSTR_Company - Nazwa spkiCSTR_Email - Adres e-mailbut Gant chart is filtering fields by 'CSTR_Superior'.Does anyone know how to make it work with CEO like in AD?

Issue with UPN Change Affecting Record and Report Visibility

Hi Celina,this topic have been throughly coverd on the forum a few times, to sum it up:1. You could ask Webcon Support to provide updated dbo.ReplaceLogins stored procedure (it was on the db on older versions of the platform, it's no longer created on new instances and it's not updated): * https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/1466?messageid=1466* https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/24712. You can use Permission Migration tool in Administration Tools: * https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/AdminTools/#permissions-migration3. As Micha suggested - you should file a support ticket, and Webcon will handle it: * https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7300?messageid=73004. There is and API endpoint which you could call "/api/studio/db/1/replacesecurities": * https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7738

Issue with UPN Change Affecting Record and Report Visibility

2025-10-07T10:29:34+02:00

Hello!We recently had an issue where the UserPrincipalName (UPN) of Active Directory users was changed, which is causing problems with Webcon. The system uses the UserPrincipalName in the CreatedBy field to track who created each instance. As a result, users can no longer see the instances they created before their UPN was changed.One way to fix this is by manually updating the CreatedBy field for each record, but this is very time-consuming. Additionally, users can't see their previously created reports either, since those are also tied to the CreatedBy field. To restore access, we would need to update this field in the database as well.However, doing this manually for each user and each record is not ideal, and there may be other tables in the database that also use the old UPN information. #Is there a simpler or more automated way to handle this issue?

Ability to use an action (e.g. start a subflow) from the top menu button without edit permissions

2025-09-25T15:26:17+02:00

Maybe some hybrid solution? You can use hyperlink to open a new document and change value of tech field "previous document" like Maks wrote. You wrote that you use start workflow by SQL because you have an item list on main instance.After opening new document and dynamically showing elements on them you can initialize item list by the same parameter - 'previous document'. Think about the condition of this action but I think you can go with the hybrid solution without actin start workflow by SQL.Hyperlink has one more advantage than start by SQL. If you start workflow from SQL, the workflow will be saved instantly in database and has WFD_ID and WFD_Sginature. If you use hyperlink you can only open form and until you click any button on form they won't be save in database.It's very helpful when user refused from filling form.

Editing Pdf documents in WEBCON BPS

2025-09-25T08:03:58+02:00

Ive run into a similar situation. The repeated download of IT Hit Edit Doc Opener 5 usually means the add-on isnt being properly registered with Edge or WEBCON BPS. Check if your browser settings allow the add-on to run automatically, and verify that your WEBCON version supports PDF annotation through this plugin. Sometimes clearing cache or reinstalling the opener helps. The PDF redactor https://pdfized.com/ is an excellent tool for securely editing documents. As a reliable anonymizer , it quickly removes sensitive information, ensuring privacy without compromising the documents integrity. Highly useful for both personal and professional needs.

Parameters in javascript form rules

2025-09-24T15:47:07+02:00

Hello everyone,I have a JavaScript form rule with parameters that lives in a script tag in an HTML form field. And I have the issue that I can't figure out what button combination I need to press or where to click to edit the parameters.With business rules, it's in a context menu, but within the expression editor on the HTML field, I can't figure it out. And I could not find anything on the forum or documentation.I'd appreciate any advice.

Ability to use an action (e.g. start a subflow) from the top menu button without edit permissions

2025-09-24T09:47:27+02:00

Hi,as far as I understand the description and the screenshot you already tested the Hyperlink option but switched to SQL Start because of populating item lists.You could also achieve something similar by executing a path directly by using this parameter in the URL:u/db/23/app/16/start/wf/14/dt/14/form/edit?PATH_ID=66This way you would be able to do what you want, before the users sees the workflow.Best regards,Daniel

2025-09-24T09:36:46+02:00

Hi,As far as I am aware, solution proposed by Jacek is currently the only one.For cloning document's I'm already using exactly this solution, there is a 'Start element' hyperlink on the Menu Action bar, and on the new form I'm dynamically showing new paths on which there are actions responsible for setting all the fields on the form based on document marked in attribute 'previous document' (this value can be passed through start element hyperlink).

Ability to use an action (e.g. start a subflow) from the top menu button without edit permissions

2025-09-24T08:46:09+02:00

Business example:We have a process that many people can access, but only the administrator and the creator can edit it. Other users would like to clone existing documents to save time, but they can only do this for documents they are the author of.Is there any reasonable workaround to let users without edit rights use such an action?P.S. I have to use the SQL option because of position lists in the instance.

Time only picker in WebCon item list

2025-09-23T12:46:38+02:00

Hi MaksymilianThank you for your answer.Due to license limitations, I cannot use an external control.I also thought about using HTML5. It is quite easy when it comes to "standard attributes", but I cannot find such a column type in the item list (or even external control type). Could you write a bit more about the HTML solution?

Time only picker in WebCon item list

2025-09-23T11:31:10+02:00

Hi Marcin,in my case i've always ended up with date/time pickers where users pick date+time. I'm not a fan of this control either, but never developed an alternative.Right now, i'm thinking that it would be doable with and SDK, but from more native solutions you could go with:* regex as you already proposed* html field, where you will create your control, and add some javascript that will set some webcon attribute value* External controls - this allows you to create a website on another server with the control only, and using javascript you'll have set some attribute value like in html field https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/SDK/PluginTypes#external-controls

Time only picker in WebCon item list

2025-09-23T11:06:31+02:00

Hello Marcin,This solution is a bit out there and needs some more "fine-tuning" but you could use a javascript form rule and put it on the Main form - behavior of the step where the overtime data is beeing entered.The javascript checks if the time element which switches to the time view is present and if it is then the element is clicked. Which happens fast enough that it looks like it's been opened automatically:const timeSelectionObserver = new MutationObserver((list, obs) => { let dialog = document.querySelector('td.rdtTimeToggle') if (dialog) { dialog.click() }})timeSelectionObserver.observe(document.body,{childList: true, subtree: true})Hope it helps.

Time only picker in WebCon item list

2025-09-23T10:00:12+02:00

Hi Everyone,Ive just started implementing business processes in WebCon BPS and couldnt find the answer to my question on the forum.Business case:Its an overtime management process.In one attribute, the user provides the overtime date, and then in the item list they provide additional data, including the employees name, start time (hours and minutes), and end time.I would like to give the user an easy way to set the time. I could use a Date/Time column, set provided date and ask the user to pick a time, but the standard date/time picker isnt ergonomic in this situation.Is there any way to use a time only picker in an item list column, or to open the date/time picker directly in the "time part"?Alternatively, I could use a text attribute with regex validation, or choice lists (one for hours and one for minutes), but neither feels elegant.How would you approach this situation? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Maks, REally thanks for quick answer. Yes, generating Excel is really helpful - on the button / when step is finished. This is my final goal for now. But ad-hoc export is "nice-to-have". I was also just suprised that export (not import) is disabled :)

Hi Dominik,it could be done with some css/js trickery for sure like adding an html field below the table, and having a scirpt which would add .hidden class to the button.The way it currently works seems like a bug, i'd file a support ticket, but untill it's checked, maybe an Menu Action button with Generate Excel File would do the job?

Is it a feature / bug? Is it planned to be changed?Does any workaround exist, except the showing data table with the same result (and e.g. my query returns over 1k rows which is data table limit). I am aware that the form slow downs but is not crucial in that case :) Best Regards, Dominik

Change UPN

2025-09-16T07:55:08+02:00

Adding to what everyone said, you could also run permission migration through Designer Studio:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/AdminTools/#permissions-migrationThis will give access to specific users back, although it won't update any wfd_attchooseX fields (that's why Daniel mentioned ReplaceLogins stored procedure).

Change UPN

2025-09-15T22:36:53+02:00

Wojciech, if you want to use this feature for, say, 10-30 + people, I suggest creating a process for it in WEBCON and a job in SQL that runs in the service window at night, e.g., from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. In the process, you add reporting for who it was performed for, along with a notification of completion to the person concerned. After making all user changes, it is a good idea to reindex SOLR after changing logins.I processed this for 1,500 people, but it took a month, and the list of people was indicated who was to have their logins updated on a given day.As Daniel wrote, you can write to webcon support or to the implementation company that will provide you with this.

Change UPN

2025-09-15T20:32:30+02:00

Hi Wojciech,there is/existed a stored procedure which allowed to replace the UPN of a user with another one. This has been removed from later versions:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7300?messageid=7300Based on the answers in the linked post you need to get in touch with the support. Maybe there's a higher chance, that it will make it back to the product if enough support tickets are created. :)Best regards,Daniel

I want to make the change in batches, so I can't do it for all users at once. How do I make the change for specific users?

Slow-loading form due to a large number of versions and extensive data in the item list

2025-09-12T11:11:18+02:00

Sorry for the confusion, I wanted to say, that the item list could be moved inside a tab. If the tab isn't shown when the form is loaded, the form will be displayed a little bit faster.

Slow-loading form due to a large number of versions and extensive data in the item list

2025-09-12T08:33:13+02:00

Hi Stanisaw,do you mean with last 100 rows that you want to have some kind of paging in the item list, to load the additional data, if the user wants to see it? Regardless, I just improved the loading time of on of hour forms this week. In regards to the item list you have two main points.- Loading timeThis is the time of the "Getting model of workflow element (/api/nav/db/1/app/11/element/165/desktop)' row in the diagnostic mode- Rendering timeThis is the time of the creation of the HTML elements. Unfortunately, there no dedicated log for this.Loading timeIf you have choose columns with SQL in them, make sure that you don't reference fields of the item list row, if possible. This will execute one SQL statement for each row and field. Even if the SQL server would just take 2ms for the execution, it would be 2400+ms in your case. But the more connection there are, the slower it gets.It's the same for data row columns, but I'm not sure whether there's a chance to reduce the number of SQL statements send to the server.A data table will be execute in a single SQL statement and is therefore way faster when using data row columns.As long as the item list is not hidden server side, field matrix or visibility restriction, it's data will be loaded. Hiding it via form rules is to late to prevent it.Rendering timeIf you don't need to display the item list by default, move it to a tab, so that it is not rendered. Unfortunately, WEBCON removed the option to render read only columns in an item list as plain text. Now always a deactivated input field is created. Due to this change the rendering of the data table elements is also faster then rendering an item list. Of course, you can add paging to it.Best regards,Daniel

Slow-loading form due to a large number of versions and extensive data in the item list

2025-09-12T07:57:27+02:00

Hello,One of our workflows has been poorly designed and currently has over 700 versions. The form contains an item list with more than 1200 rows. Each time the form is opened, it loads very, very slowly. Is it possible to initialize only, for example, the last 100 rows, and load the remaining rows on demand via a button? Do you perhaps have an idea how to feed new rows at the step I marked in the diagram? Currently, the rows are loaded into a technical table at those steps, and then pulled into the final table. Maybe it would be worth moving the row loading into the technical table into a subprocess? If I explained something unclearly, please let me know I will describe it in more detail.Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi, create a technical field where you will enter the selected values and then use this field in the data source as shown in the screenshots - it works without saving the form.For historical forms, you need to update the technical field and then it will also work for historical forms.

If I select a number from 1 to 40, lets say 1, from a field, I won't be able to select that position in the next row. I'd like to do this in a way that doesn't require the user to save the form a hundred times ( everysingle pick ) or using have the system throw them away and redirect them to the same table on the form.List is already implmnetet with 40 rows, user job is scale those rows from 1 to 40Does anyone have any ideas or have similar examples already done?

Release management of non-trivial WEBCON processes

2025-09-08T21:09:47+02:00

Hi Jarosaw,this is one of the draw backs when choosing a low code platform. You cant easily deploy/test specific features developed in a branch. Ok, if these features rely/impact each other then you have a problem regardless of the platform.As a partner with products/ process templates build on WEBCON BPS. We cant rely on constants for storing environment specific information. Therefore one of my first ideas was to create a configuration dictionary. Which can store values for each dev/test/prod. This has evolved to configure specific features and which values can also be overwritten on business entity level. This is our approach to handle new/alpha features. Of course, they need to be independent from each other. Otherwise it wont work.In the end though it all boils down to a feature freeze and telling the employees that they need to test or they wont get their new feature. After all, they requested it. Best regards,Daniel

Release management of non-trivial WEBCON processes

2025-09-08T13:56:57+02:00

Hi Jarosaw,In my case it's mostly mix of suggestions you've already proposed.For those tiny touch-ups like adding a column to a report, changing name of path or attribute we're currently doing it mostly manually on dev/test/prod, as it's the fastest way to deliver.We don't add steps or new fields directly on TEST/PROD though, those require whole path (in theory it's possible to manually override GUID's of those objects, but we don't want to make updates on the database).Also creating new reports/dashboards on PROD directly might cause new URL's to those objects, and any saved URL's will fail after an update (it's not a big deal, but worth to consider too).For long running / work heavy features I'm using "Feature flags" concept - creating a new Constant with boolean values, and make them different per dev/test/prod as needed depending of state of the feature.In terms of gathering all those change requests, we're now developing a separate webcon process, where everybody can send ideas to improve application, and those are approved by application business owner, and there is estimation of time/price required to deliver. Lastly given that we currently have access to Import endpoint through webcon API our end goal would be to automate that process to remove those manual corrections on PROD environment. With the CD pipeline automatically deploying packages to TEST/PROD developers can focus on creating features rather than importing/exporting multiple times.The thing that webcon lacks from my point of view, or what we haven't solved yet is 'multiple branches' or 'parallel' work on different features by different people.Feature flags allow it partially, but don't solve everything.The case with interconnected applications, i'd say the best way is to think about them as separate applications even though they are on the same platform and it's easy to tangle them together, and try to avoid using constants/objects/anything from picker from one in another, rather create some Interfaces between, which will have a 'no change guarantee', or would require informing others when they are being changed. Those interfaces for me are Webcon Data Source views, or UDF's which were introduced in latest version.

Release management of non-trivial WEBCON processes

2025-09-07T19:33:25+02:00

HiOur WEBCON BPS process base grow quickly and some applications got complex having many processes and flows. Our users base is spread across several departments / business units and countries. The result is that we need to process many change requests from various sources and it is a challenge to synchronise all development work to find a point in time, when all changes have been tested and approved. So, we need sometimes to deploy the application that includes untested features what often leads to incidents in production. Some workaround is to apply small changes manually to PROD system skipping export/import functionality. But here we risk inconsistency between PROD and DEV/TEST because we must rely on human discipline. Other idea is to include "deployment" business rule on given set of actions to disable them on PROD until the feature is finally tested.Could you share some ideas / methods that might be used to handle simultaneous change requests of different sizes / development workload?Thank youJarosaw

User Defined API - report response

2025-09-04T08:41:59+02:00

Hi,Let's assume I'm configuring data from a data source (a report) with one column and one filter. I want to use a User-Defined API that allows me to dynamically filter the report using a defined endpoint. Will the response return a simple JSON with information from this single column, or will it return the entire data set (element ID, signature, step, etc.) as in other responses?

Access for AAD group to the report based on data source

2025-08-28T12:44:37+02:00

WEBCON works on ver. 2024.1.1.130.We have a few dashboards with created data sources for reports. After data sources, we created reports but using this data sources, not creating new one in Designer studio or in Portal. Now, users gave us information about lack of access to one of the reports which uses data source. Inside configuration of dashboard we have option to change priviliges but if the report base on data source we can't change it on report. dashboards has individual priviliges based on application or dedicated which we choose on data source.If correct AAD group has an access to the application, report were created by using data sources and the group which doesn't see the report are marked in custom access to the dashboard where is the problem?We can't give an access to the data source or to the raport which use it.Only one solution is created report as a separated raport and implementate it on dashboard?I looked up kb.webcon but there were only instructions to created reports with data sources. I don't see any information about priviliges.Thanks for tips.

SOLR indexing issues – TaskCanceledException & high CPU usage

2025-08-25T10:09:36+02:00

Martin, if you have a lot of SOLR records and reindexing, you may consider separating the SOLR service onto a separate virtual machine so that it does not burden the WEBCON service.

SOLR indexing issues – TaskCanceledException & high CPU usage

2025-08-22T20:24:53+02:00

Hi Martin, After upgrading in June this year WebCon BPS from Version 2017 (YES) to 2021.5.420, I had a similar situation (a large database of about 5 million records in WFElements and proportionally other tables) where SOLR was maxing out the processors and memory. What helped: - increasing the memory for SOLR to 8GB, - removing everything it was struggling with, and reindexing process by process starting from the most critical ones (of course, reindexing on weekends and smaller processes after working hours). All these actions helped, and today it runs stably, but the SOLR database is over 65GB, which seems quite a lot. The next plan is to acquire a separate machine for a dedicated SOLR server to relieve the application server. We still have the second part of the upgrade to the latest version ahead of us, but I hope that with a separate server, there will be no more problems or suprises with SOLR. Most of this knowledge comes from WebCon support team. Best regards.

Hi Adam,Thanks for your reply. Ill try updating the memory settings, but I suspect it wont solve the issue. Im not experiencing out-of-memory on SOLR level. Ill proceed with reindexing, but first, Ill test it in the test environment. I hope it solves the issue.Im open to other ideas if you or anyone else have any.Cheers,Martin

Start an automatic process on a schedule

2025-08-22T12:39:52+02:00

1. Will you keep this dictionary in WEBCON and will it be on a list of items with thousands of rows? If so, I would separate this issue because thousands of items on a form will not be efficient to edit.2. A cyclical action with an SQL query will be efficient and fast, you can always divide it into checking interactions.If you want my recommendation, I think a good approach would be to have separate instances for equipment and dates, and then check these forms to see if the date has expired and perform the appropriate actions.

SOLR indexing issues – TaskCanceledException & high CPU usage

2025-08-22T10:03:01+02:00

Hi Martin,Here are my recommendations. I faced a similar issue some time ago, so I hope this helps.Solr usage shouldn't be directly tied to the SQL Server. All data sent to Solr is transferred via the Portal or Workflow Service.You can check the status of Solr by visiting this URL:http://webconserver:8983/solr/#/loginMake sure to replace "webconserver" with the actual server name.The Solr credentials were set during installation (default username: Solr).If your Solr collection is large and you're seeing "out-of-memory" errors in the logs, you may need to allocate more memory in the WebCon.BPSSearchService.exe.config file, typically located at:C:\Program Files\WEBCON\WEBCON BPS Search ServerUpdate the memory setting like this - attached.Regarding your points:I recommend starting with a smaller scope - such as a single process. If that works successfully, you can then apply it to the entire database.It's best to perform this task outside of working hours, as it may consume significant resources and affect search accuracy during active use.For reference, most of this knowledge comes from support provided by @Wojciech Mleczko (WEBCON) - so credit goes to Wojtek!

Start an automatic process on a schedule

2025-08-22T09:07:49+02:00

Hi Krystian,Thank you for your time.I have an additional question regarding the case, which needs to be organized architecturally.The situation is as follows: this dictionary will store thousands of equipment records. This equipment has a life cycle and deadlines that need to be monitored.Will the proposed approach affect the stability of the platform? Should I look for another option for monitoring this equipment - for example, each item being a separate instance of a standard workflow process that remains active while the item's life cycle is monitored (which can last up to 10 years).Which of the two possible solutions would you recommend?

Start an automatic process on a schedule

2025-08-21T21:07:05+02:00

Hi Radostina!In your case, if you want to periodically check whether a process should be started according to the schedule based on your dictionary, you can use standard WEBCON actions, including1. Recurring actions here you can set a schedule, e.g., daily checks https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Workflow_GlobalAction3/module_2_4_7_4_22. Start a subworkflow (SQL) you can add this action in recurring actions, which can run tasks according to your description. In the action, you define the process/path/data to be completed https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartManyWorkFlows/

[solved] Return images in base64 without access to WFAttachmentfiles

2025-08-18T20:31:29+02:00

Hi,I'm writing this post to verify, that I didn't overlooked an option. Situation:I have a data table to get the data of subworkflows and the base 64 encoded values of their attached images. This data table is used to create a word document. The standard SQL connection uses the bps_user which neither can read data from a separate database nor is the user allowed to read the attachment file table: "The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'WFAttachmentFiles', database 'BPS_1f6af8fb_Content', schema 'dbo'.."In "normal" environments we work around this by creating a dedicated SQL user. In this case it's a multi tenant WEBCONAPPS environment. I learned that I can't even configure the database for storing the attachments. They are always stored in the dedicated database.Ideas:- Dedicated SQL user, not an option in WEBCONAPPS, I have verified this with the support.- Changing the attachment database, disabled in WEBCONAPPS- Creating a view using in the content database to the attachment database. A LinkedServer could be used to read the data in the name of anohter user. Very likely not an option for WEBCONAPPS either.- The standard function "CONTENT AS BASE64 returns an attachment in BASE64 format" returns only the value for one attachment. Business rules are executed before the written SQL command is executed so I wouldn't be able to execute this rule with dynamic data.- In theory I could use the function to populate a multi value string, but I wouldn't do it, even if this would be feasible. This would bloat the database as it would be part of each workflow instance version.- I could create a technical subworkflow, which stores the data and get's deleted at some point. For deleting it I would need to use the API, as the archive action is not part of WEBCONAPPS. But I have no trigger, to update this workflow when a new attachment is added. A user could just add an attachment. It's not necessary to save the instance. Really complicated and error prone.- Create an SDK which returns the base64 values, which is used in a business rule, which in turn is used in the data table. The question is, whether this will work in a multi tenant environment and whether I won't run into the same error. Does anyone have any other ideas or sees an error in mine? I would really be glad, if I overlooked something to get an easy solution.Best regards,Daniel

Problem with local BPS groups (Synchronisation?)

Can someone at WEBCON please check our Ticket (openend via our provider DCCS).. its open since 3-4 weeks now..Currently we are not able to deploy new applications, because the groups (ad and bps groups) are not evaluated.According to the sync-debug log, the sync-process runs through without any errors. However the bps groups have the sand-clock icon in the web-admin view.I guess the error entry in the table UserSynchronisationQueueItems is preventing the sync process to finish correctly.ThanksP.S.Off course I could provide a remote-session to look into the details

Thanks for all the informations@Krystian: Where do I have to place the javascript/CSS and how does it look?Is it possible to hide a. and b. before the checkbox and can I set for example the first answer as default?

Daniel, you can't set the choice fields to horizontal mode directly for choice, which is what Monika wanted, i.e. to be able to have YES/NO horizontally for choice, rather than several attributes in a group horizontally :)

Hi, the only option I can think of is to create a Choice list field and enter YES/NO in it, then add javascript/CSS that will make the field horizontal, and you will have it horizontally.The standard choice field does not have a horizontal option.

Hi,You can use the dbo.replacelogins procedure in older versions of 2021-, but it has not been updated with new tables and data in higher versions. You can extend it with new webcon tables that are missing in the old procedure and use it to perform such an update. We have updated the procedure and use it on a daily basis, but it is run at night because it is resource-intensive and may block data registration as it updates the wfsecurities tables.You can always deactivate the service and reactivate it this will cause all licenses to be downloaded again.

Changing AD domain, BPS users?

2025-08-14T08:22:57+02:00

Hi,we are considering changing the domain for users in AD in our company, which will consequently result in changing logins in BPS and losing permissions. Are there any scripts available that would allow us to update the tables so that we can preserve the existing permissions and access rights for users?What about licenses? Will they be revoked for the old logins and assigned to the new ones, or is there a specific procedure in place for such a case?

Call REST API foreach row in item list

2025-08-13T09:16:12+02:00

I Marcin,i can confirm, that REST with for loop works - i have few use cases where i'm using that combo and it works great.I'm usually using JSON same as Daniel, and sometimes even generate whole json with sql.Webcon many times assumes that if something is an item list, then it should be accessed as collection, and looks like it's the case.After selecting an item-list, as a collection node, then i'm able to specify specific columns for the request, but this will create one request with an array - which is not what you want if i understood correctly.I'd change the type of that 'For Each' loop to a data source, then you will be able to select column with data for current element (this is not accessible when for each on item list mode).

Hi Marcin,I implemented just something similar and it was working fine. I could use the columns from the the item list in the URL as well as the request body.The main difference is that I'm using "Body type" "JSON" instead of the grid.I've never really used the grid since I'm testing in postman and then copy the body over to WEBCON.Best regards,Daniel

Change size of path panel area

2025-08-08T07:42:29+02:00

Hi Gerd,We only tested this ourselves yet, so please try the settings shown in the picture.Remember: Global Default button style really means global. If you work without colors, the global style is sufficient. Otherwise, each path needs to be assigned its own color anyway.However, if you change a color on the path, the global style will be overridden.We ourselves set path colors and path button colors individually. Thats why we simply copy our (complete) CSS styles from a saved text file for each color.You can do the same for each path button: use the style shown at the top of the picture, adjust your padding, add your path button color, and then copy it to every path with the correct color.Have a nice weekend,Bjoern

Migrating two instances into one

2025-08-07T20:37:26+02:00

Hi ukasz,In my opinion, what you are describing is possible if you have the appropriate WEBCON licenses.In my opinion, combining two WEBCON installations into one is possible in the following way:1. Create new CONTENT and ATTACHMENTS databases the same number as in the target environment2. Restore the databases from backup3. Adjust the process configuration to the current installation / database connections / integrations, etc.4. Reconfigure application/process/global GUIDs, etc. so that they do not duplicate other databases5. Synchronize users and update them with the new domain if necessaryThere are certainly more points, but what you need is analogous to the mechanism of dividing a single content instance in the current environment into multiple instances and distributing processes/applications to individual new databases.

2025-08-07T16:02:13+02:00

Pretty much the same way I did. Is the external library also based on .net standard? Guess you already added the library to the dependencies to other assemblies in your json file. I have packages, where I had to add three and more additional dependencies because they were nested.

sdk 2025 - error

2025-08-07T15:41:26+02:00

I've updated the SDK to the 2025 version. I'm also using the WEBCON BPS SDK Tools. I have several SDKs, but only the ones that use an external library (also written by me) are not working. I use svcutil to create wcf class.

sdk 2025 - error

2025-08-07T11:58:00+02:00

Hi FranekDon't know how you've built the package. I'm using the standard "WEBCON BPS SDK Tools" to build the packages. With 2025 the structure of the json file changed and now also includes version and dependencies. I specially love the dependencies, as these were a bit of a challenge in previous versions of the SDK.{ "extensions": [ { "guid": "b28855a7-c35b-45b4-a80d-62c4249a2996", "name": "Abacus - Create Debitor", "description": "Creates a new debitor", "assembly": "Demo", "class": "Demo.CustomActions.CreateDebitor", "type": "CustomAction" } ], "dependencies": [ "Demo" ], "version": "25"}Edited:Missed a part in your sentence. Shalassin is right, 2025 is more restrictive in checking either the SDK licence or the signature of the assembly. Signature must be from a trusted provider, usually a WEBCON partner or WEBCON itself.We implemented some Extensions to call Abacus SOAP Services on 2025. Guess it is quite similar of what you are doing. Works perfect.

2025-08-07T08:36:05+02:00

Hi Franek,SDK add-ons usually work only within a specific version range (e.g. 2020.x.x.x). When upgrading to a newer version, the SDK needs to be adjusted accordingly. This can be done independently if you have a license, or outsourced to a third-party company or the original vendor.

Hi, Ive migrated the SDK from Webcon 2022 to Webcon 2025 R2. During execution, Im getting the following error: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: This operation is not supported on .NET Standard, as Reflection.Emit is not available.The SDK connects to a SOAP endpoint. The client responsible for establishing the connection is located in a separate library(net standard 2.0). The BPS extension is also implemented in .NET Standard 2.0.How to fix this?

Reports based on the search index (Solr) - webcon 2022

2025-08-05T09:09:45+02:00

I can confirm this.If user should see something on a report - he needs to have read permissions to the document. Without those permissions no entries will be shown on regular/solr reports.If there is such a need you could try to create a document with a data table and write custom SQL query, this will bypass default permission filters, although on data table you can't really do as much as on regular report.

Problem with local BPS groups (Synchronisation?)

2025-08-04T09:48:07+02:00

Hi Daniel,I haven't encountered the problem you described, because every time we add a REST action to groups, we always apply the rule of checking who is in the group, and if a person is already there, we don't add them again this is a security measure and prevents what you described adding one person multiple times to the same group.Best regards,Krystian

It seems there is a bigger problem with group/user sync in our production environment (we have a ticket @Webcon open - via our service provider).I get correct members using GROUP MEMBERS (group), but CURRENT USER IS ONE OF does always return false. Even the privileges are not working with groups. I Had to add users directly to the instances.Currently I have 2 apps ready, but cannot deploy them into production.I hope WEBCON is reacting to our ticket soon.Ernst

Hi Krystian,a word of caution regarding the api calls. Its possible to add the same user multiple times to the same group. Theres no check. At least it was in 2023 and the feedback was that this behavior would not be changed. In the background a sync task is triggered automatically. I added a check whether this task had been completed before I allowed the users to do any further updates.Best regards,Daniel

Handling long running operations in WEBCON - task scheduler workaround

2025-08-03T20:44:27+02:00

Hi,Im looking for the best approach to handle long-running operations (potentially taking several minutes) in WEBCON BPS.Scenario:Suppose we need to perform time-consuming Active Directory updates based on a list of items within a WEBCON BPS workflow instance. Given the current execution time limit of 120 seconds, this may not be sufficient.Workaround Approach:My current solution is to use a scheduled Windows Task (created via a PowerShell integration action in WEBCON), then transition the workflow to a system step (without assigned tasks) to passively wait for the scheduled task to complete. The scheduled task retrieves its parameters either from the command line (passed during job creation) or by connecting to the BPS database. Its essential that the scheduled job issues a PATCH API call back to the originating workflow instance to continue the process flow. Although the solution might sound complex, it has been running reliably in a production environment.Step-by-Step Overview:Job Creation (Step 1):The originating workflow executes a PowerShell action to create a scheduled task, configured to start with at least a 10-second delay and set for single execution only. This delay allows WEBCON to move to the next step before execution begins.Passive Wait (Step 2):The workflow transitions to a system-type step (no tasks assigned), effectively waiting for the scheduled task to run.Execution (Step 3):The scheduled task is triggered and performs the required long-running operations, which may take several minutes or more.Callback (Step 4):Upon completion, the task performs a PATCH API call to the originating workflow, allowing it to continue along the appropriate path depending on the design and context.Cleanup:The completed scheduled task should be deleted to keep the Task Scheduler clean and avoid clutter.Timeout Handling (Step X):To manage exceptions or unexpected failures, you can configure a timeout using a timer action on the waiting step, which redirects to an error-handling path if the job doesn't complete within a defined timeframe (e.g., 24 hours).Refer to the attached diagram for a high-level concept of the solution.Advantages:Effectively bypasses the 120-second execution limit in WEBCON BPS.Allows complex, long-running operations to be executed as a single unit, without needing to split them into smaller chunks or repeated timer/global actions.Disadvantages:Adds complexity to the solution, requiring basic OS-level administration skills from the WEBCON developer.The developer must implement and handle the PATCH API logic in the scheduled job script.Scheduled jobs must be explicitly cleaned up after execution to avoid polluting the Task Scheduler.Open Question:Do you have alternative approaches for handling long-running operations in WEBCON BPS?I would love to see native support for this use caseperhaps in the form of a special asynchronous system stepso we could handle long tasks more gracefully within the platform itself.

Action to calculate similarity score of attachment against template

2025-07-28T08:54:02+02:00

Hi Jarosaw, I think there won't be a fit-all solution here, this would have to be developed per use-case. Is the PDF 1 page, 10 pages, 100 pages, 1k pages?Those pages are text, graphics, screenshots, scans, if there are images, how would you decide if those are reasonable?You might wanna check the tools below, but it's far from a put in action and forget :)* https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azure-ai-services-blog/extract-data-from-pdfs-using-form-recognizer-with-code-or-without/2214299 - * https://github.com/invoice-x/invoice2data - it's not only for invoices, my attempt would be to parse pdf with this tool, and then check if output structure matches your template structure.Those below would require coding a solution and expose it via API, so it's more advanced:* https://github.com/Layout-Parser/layout-parser* https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d4/dc6/tutorial_py_template_matching.html

Action to calculate similarity score of attachment against template

2025-07-26T08:13:14+02:00

Business case: due to organization regulation it is required to fill in a specific form and attach it as PDF to a WEBCON case. The problem is how to assure that such PDF file matches prefedined format and that is is filled with reasonable contectExpectation: dedicated action that will take two attachments: template in PDF or WORD and actual document in PDF or WORD and will calculate similarity score from 0 - documents differ completely to 1.00 - documents match perfectly. Alternatively TRUE (document matches template and has reasonable content) or FALSE (document doesn't match)I look for WEBCON integrated solutionAny ideas?

Hi Lina,can you provide screenshots what you did to populate the email field. It seems that you are using something else then the "Target fields" in the advanced configuration of the choose field. Best regards,Daniel

I am using a list item and trying to retrieve the corresponding email from the data source by selecting a name. The filtered email should be displayed in the field immediately after selection. But it's not working. The email only appears after I delete the name.How can I solve this problem?

Selecting multiple attachments

2025-07-22T21:17:43+02:00

We did something similar few years ago. The user had to be able to choose and also sort documents, we then merged to one pdf. It was the time when I introduced the first version of the modal dialogues, which Daniel Krger improved a lot. Have a look at https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2022/modal-dialog.We used a menu action that opened the form in a dialogue. The form has an itemlist, which we initialize with the attachments of the calling element. And some more to name and categorize the merged pdf. The workflow only has a path to merge the selected pdf's and add the merged document to the attachments.You could do something similar to send selected attachments in an email.

Selecting multiple attachments

2025-07-22T15:20:12+02:00

Im missing the option to select multiple attachments (for example, to sign them or send them via email).I'm not referring to using any naming pattern or attachment group, but rather giving the user full flexibility to manually select the desired attachments.Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Perhaps it would be possible to use a Item List that would dynamically display all attachments and allow them to be selected?

2025-07-22T07:43:27+02:00

Hi,Thanks a lot for pulling this information together I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.Its a bit of a shame that WEBCON doesnt provide official documentation for this kind of setup, especially since offloading OCR can be a real necessity in production environments with high load. It would definitely help if there was a clear guide or best practices from the vendor.Your suggestion gives me a good starting point Ill look into it soon and see how it goes. Thanks again!

Task Delegation Fails with 500 Error (Works in Swagger)

Task Delegation Fails with 500 Error (Works in Swagger)

2025-07-20T21:18:49+02:00

Hi, this is really an interesting behavior.While it is possible the below case is possible , this is not possible for the current workflow instance.- Checkout workflow instance 1 / open in edit mode- Execute REST action from workflow 2 to delegate a task of workflow 1- Edit and save workflow 1- Changes and delegated task is shown after saving workflow 1I have to admit that I didn't come up with delegating task via the API. This is a lot easier than creating a path on each step to update the tasks. At least if the original task owner should still be assigned.. If this shouldn't be the case, then there's no way around than using paths.While this is an interesting finding it doesn't help much.If you want to stick to the delegation option, then I see only one reliable solution. Start a "technical delegation workflow", populate and item list with all the workflow instances which should be updated:- Instance id- Assigned to user- Delegate to userAdd a timer to the step in which the workflow has been saved and this will then execute the delegation with a short delay. This would allow that the button execution is finished before the delegation has been executed. Even if the delegation would fail, the users could continue to work and you could create a task/mail to look at this technical workflow.The only other alternative would be a path. If you don't want to show it as a path but as a button. You could hide the path with a form rule and add a hyperlink action to the button with:javascript:MoveToNextStep({PH:355})Best regards,Daniel

Hi,I can't find any direct docs on how to do it, but to start with, there is a Services configuration in System configuration.For each service you can define roles which it will perform. I'd try installing Webcon on a separate server, and then add it as a service?Some sources which i've found around this topic:* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/SystemSettings/ServiceConf/SystemSettings_ServiceManagDetails* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/service-the-logic-and-operation/395/3* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/service-roles-vs-running-modules-report/355/3

Problem with local BPS groups (Synchronisation?)

After some digging I found one entry in table [UserSynchronisationQueueItems] with an USQ status 100. But this entry is from 2024-10-17 ... not sure if this could block a complete synchronisation.I also checked [BpsUsersGroupRelations]:prod and dev-stage: emtpy in content-db, correct values in config-db

Problem with local BPS groups (Synchronisation?)

2025-07-17T09:29:44+02:00

Thanks Daniel!Some of these groups are created 2 or more weeks ago. Since the application (where these groups are used) was not deployed into production, I didn't notice this problem.We have a simple on prem installation with one content database.Maybe someone from WEBCON could provide some infos, what (logs, etc.) should be checked.Interessing: in the studio, these local groups are marked as sync'd (with a current time stamp). In the web-admin they are shown with the hour-glass icon.

Problem with local BPS groups (Synchronisation?)

2025-07-16T13:30:44+02:00

Hi Ernst,I can't help you with it, but I can say that you are not alone.We have a few environments where we have a large delay when the user membership is updated. The only thing common in these environments is, that there are multiple content databases. When we are updating the group membership we use the Designer Studio and open the content database where the group is used. This way the changes are directly available in the database and the rest of the databases will be updated some time later. Best regards,Daniel

Form Field and Form Type descriptions

2025-07-16T12:15:51+02:00

Hi Noelle,1. In 2025 R2, there is an option to set placeholder text, but it has to be static - cant use any business rules etc. look at input placeholder*.Before that placeholder configuration, and for longer types of text i've used HTML attributes, which were displayed above/below attribute, when i had to be sure that users read it.2. Almost sure it's not possible with default start buttons unfortunately, especially on the screen you've attached. The closest would be to set a description on the button itself, but this won't dynamically read it from form/workflow description (i'd suggest leaving it as user voice, as it seems like nice feature). *** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_StyleAndBehavior#1-style** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Application/Presentation/AppStartsOverview/

Choice list on report

2025-07-16T11:35:54+02:00

In addition to why it's visible/not visible you might be running different versions of the system (not sure if it was always possible to put those attributes on reports),I wanted to suggest same workaround as Jacek, at first - check column name, which is used by the attribute, in attribute configuration screen.Answer single choice values are stored in WFD_AttChooseX columns.In calculated column just put in the name of the column, maybe wrap it with dbo.ClearWFElem(WFD_AttChooseX), example in attachment.

Form Field and Form Type descriptions

2025-07-16T11:33:30+02:00

Hi everyone,I have two questions regarding the description feature of Form Fields, which is typically shown via the small info icon (the little i) on mouse-over.1. Form Field description visibility and placementIn one of my forms, Im using a large input field, and the info icon appears very small and all the way to the right. Its barely visible and often overlooked by users.Ideally, Id like to have the icon closer to the field label, or make it larger or more noticeable.Alternatively, is there a way to display the field description directly inside the input (as placeholder or inline help text), which disappears once the user starts typing?Ive attached a screenshot where Ive marked the icon and the large spacing, just to give you an idea of what I mean.2. Form Type description at Start ElementI noticed that its possible to add descriptions to Form Types, which is great. However, when selecting a Form Type from the Start Element, the description isnt shown anywhere.Would there be a way to also display a small info icon next to each Form Type in the Start Element dialog, so users can see its description before selecting it?The second screenshot presents what I mean by that.Thanks a lot in advance for your help!Best regards,N.J.

Possible Bug: BPS groups are not correctly recognized / evaluated when used in reports or in app roles

2025-07-15T10:01:56+02:00

2 examples:1. We have a BPS group "BPS WEBCON DEV ADMINS" (3 members). If I use these group as "Business Administrators", then this is not evaluated for the Analytics-Views (all analytics reports are hidden for them). If I add these members as user to "Business Administrators" it is working as expected.2. I have reduced the privileges for a certain report. If I use a BPS Group, this is also not evaluated (Report not visible for group-members). However, if I add these users directly in the report privileges, they are able to see the report.Kind RegardsErnst

Looking for resources or know-how on migrating WEBCON OCR installation to a separate server

2025-07-15T07:56:58+02:00

hello, If you're planning to migrate your WEBCON OCR installation to a separate server, make sure you have a clear understanding of the current configuration and dependencies. Backup all OCR-related files, databases, and configurations before starting. Consult the official WEBCON documentation or support for guidance specific to your version. It's also a good idea to test the migration in a staging environment first to avoid disruptions. Anyone with experience doing this or useful resources to shareyour input would be greatly appreciated! Let's make this migration smooth.

An idea just popped in my head, there is On instance deletion trigger which can be configured. You could pin an action to this button with validation action which would check if user is a real administrator.Never tried it, but would give it a shot! Looking at the docs it seems possible:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/

Visibilty of Analytics (Analysis)

2025-07-14T16:18:30+02:00

Hi, yes it is true.Analytics from Advanced Analytics Framework require business administrator privileges, no workaround as far as I am aware.In our case mostly managers use that feature, so they already have business administrator privileges. If directors need some data, they usually delegate that work to managers.You could leave a user voice, although Advanced Analytics Framework isn't popular addon(I know about 3 companies using it).

2025-07-14T15:46:04+02:00

Hi,Is it true that the Business Administrator role is required to view the analysis (Overview, Heatmap, etc)?If that's the case, then I have a bigger problem.Since the metrics are relevant for our process managers, for example, or even for department or division heads, I would have to assign them the role of business administrator. This would also allow them to delete workflow instances from the productive system or work in administration mode....=> Big no-goKind RegardsErnst

Task Delegation Fails with 500 Error (Works in Swagger)

2025-07-14T14:53:22+02:00

Well, I've tried "Create a task" action before, but while executing, I ended up getting error "Action "Create a Task (1229)" is not supported in current execution context". Delegation is not necessary, I thought it will be a good idea to assign a person to a task, without having to use paths.

Task Delegation Fails with 500 Error (Works in Swagger)

2025-07-14T14:02:03+02:00

Okay, so everything is clear now,When there is a path started, Webcon locks that specific document, so it can't be modified by other processes (which a REST call would be treated as) until path transaction ends.This example just won't work, as you are trying update document, while it's already being processed (Dane dania, URL, ID Elementu).It's not possible and in this case it is a feature not a bug.Is there any specific reason why you are trying to delegate task instead of just creating new one with Create Task Action*?This would provide mostly same experience, although it won't be marked.*https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/TaskAssign/Action_TaskCreationIf for some reason delegation is necessary, then a dirty workaround could be some cyclic action (let's say every 15min, from 6 to 18), which would get all documents which should be processed with task delegation, and then using for-each operator to trigger REST requests.This won't be done in context of the document so should work, as the document won't be involved in any processing (unless it will be, then rest admin mode, and forcecheckout parameters could come in handy).

Hi everyone,Im currently working with a WEBCON environment and exploring the possibility of moving only the OCR component to a separate dedicated machine, while keeping the rest of the WEBCON environment on the current server.The main reason for this is that the CPU load on the current server is very high, likely due to the OCR processes, and we want to offload this to improve overall performance.Does anyone have experience or know of any guides, best practices, or documentation on how to properly migrate or separate the WEBCON OCR component from the existing server setup? Any tips on potential challenges or configuration changes required would also be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help!PS. My version: 2023.1.3.231

Hi Marcin, by any chance are there any other actions that happen in the same automation, and modify the same document ?If so have you tried moving that REST action to the first place?We've faced similar issues and order od operations seems to be important.I'm thinking that internally when there is an action involving SQL on the same item(I'd) it starts a transaction and locks that row for modifications untill end of the automation.So when a REST action tries to update that document there is a lock on db level which results in timeout, as that rest action would try to execute as new transaction, not the same one. Webcon sees it as two different actions, one is executed by automation, second is not correlated it's just started as separate bg task from API endpoint.

Task Delegation Fails with 500 Error (Works in Swagger)

2025-07-11T20:38:49+02:00

Hi everyone,Im working on a feature, where single button triggers a set of actions that grants permissions across related parent and child workflows, and delegates active task to other user using REST API.I'm currently facing a frustrating issue with the task delegation API using the endpoint POST /api/data/v6.0/db/{dbId}/elements/{elementId}/admin/tasks/assignmentWhen I use this endpoint via Swagger, the task delegation executes successfully. Here's a sample of the payload that works perfectly in Swagger:{ "task": { "userId": "xxx@gmail.com" }, "delegatedTask": { "userId": "yyy@gmail.com", "description": "Changed by REST Web Service", "sendEmail": false, "emailMessage": "" }}It returns 200 OK with the message Task was delegated.When I try to execute the exact same request from a Call REST Web Service action within a button, I consistently get a 500 Internal Server Error with timeout details, even though curl is identical as the one from swagger. Error log:Public Api POST /api/data/v6.0/db/1/elements/61445/admin/tasks/assignmentStatus code: 500 Error message: Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.The statement has been terminated. Callstack: Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.Anyone got an idea what could be causing this error?EDIT1:Interestingly, when I change the userId in the payload to a non-existent user, the response returns:409 Conflict{ "type": "ValidationError", "description": "User zzz@gmail.com does not exist or no tasks were found for this user.", "errorGuid": "d0bdb551-8432-48a9-b011-f7e9cf10fb85"}But when the userId is correct and points to the actual task owner, the same request results in a 500 Internal Server Error. So the request passes validation and is received, but something goes wrong deep in the backend logic

Problem with URL to REST Service after upgrade to 2025

Here's the user voice. https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5645?page=1#m6795You could also check my post to find any other potential issues:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/upgrade-2022-to-2025Best regards,Daniel

Problem with URL to REST Service after upgrade to 2025

2025-07-10T13:01:29+02:00

Hi,Webcon at some point started encoding url's used by REST actions.As a workaround you could use text attribute - for those you have an option to choose, that text shouldn't be url encoded.See attached screenshots :) (in my case that set is rather complicated, as this api receives data as url query params rather than json body, but might be much shorter).I'm nearly sure there is some user voice post regarding this topic, but can't find it.

Hi,as Jacek suggested, built in dbo.SplitToTable(denormalized_string, separator) should to the job.Query you've built won't work in Webcon, as it's not really prepared to work with DECLARE, and WITH statements, those sometimes might work, but don't take it as guarantee.If you'd need some custom function/procedure, your best way would be to create a custom schema, where you'll keep your self-developed functions. Then from Webcon perspective you could just call them like dbo.SplitToTable.Keeping it in separate schema will help with avoiding any conflicts with future development of WEBCON platform.

Starting Workflow Instances from Semicolon-Separated Email List in WEBCON using SQL

2025-07-09T12:19:53+02:00

Hello community, I need to start a workflow instance for each email address in a text, where the addresses are separated by semicolons. My plan was to initialize the Item List using an SQL query, and then to start a subworkflow (SQL) instance for each row (email).Since our WEBCON environment doesn't support STRING_SPLIT, I fabricated a custom SQL query to split the long string into individual rows with email addresses. This approach seems to work when executed via SQL COMMAND, but it doesn't work when used directly in the MSSQL database or the Item List initialization.Am I on the right track? Any idea what might be going wrong?

CTE SQL no longer usable as Data Source ?

2025-07-08T09:26:16+02:00

I believe there wont be any changes to this functionality. According to the help documentation in WEBCON BPS Designer Studio, such queries are not supported due to the way they are wrapped.Additionally, the official online documentation confirms that the WITH syntax is not supported:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/ConnectionsAndDataSource/DataSources/DataSource_MSSQL#12-sql-queryIt appears that the fact it worked previously was more of a feature, and in future versions, even potential workarounds may no longer be effective.

CTE SQL no longer usable as Data Source ?

2025-07-08T07:15:30+02:00

Hi, I hope they will fix this "bug" anyway -> the action using the additional database connection is executed outside the transaction -> so it does not use the data changed during the action. To use the data, it must be previously saved in the database -> so the CTE action must be executed on subsequent steps.

Hi Micha,I'd check if there is broken inheritance but not on form level, but on step/form/attribute level.This doesn't make the form icon red on the tree, but it still breaks inheritance just on lower level than form.

CTE SQL no longer usable as Data Source ?

2025-07-07T15:43:09+02:00

Glad it's solved, I won't add a ticket then, semicolons are statement terminators in SQL so the behavior seems logical with that added to the context.Error message isn't pretty, and explaining unfortunately.

Datatable and datarow in an archived element

2025-07-07T15:30:07+02:00

I'd suggest leaving a user voice, so Webcon will have a chance have a take on this topic ;)

Datatable and datarow in an archived element

2025-07-07T14:37:36+02:00

Indeed, the straight forward query would return nothing, but at least you have the chance to work on it and solve whatever problems arise once data is archived. We solved the last problem - SQL vs archived elements, then we've got stuck with Webcon control not doing anything. Seriously annoying. To overcome this we have to think to an additional item list to throw at it with the last combination of children just before archiving the parent-children structure.

Datatable and datarow in an archived element

2025-07-07T12:26:01+02:00

Hi Mihail,Archiving moves data to different tables/databases, and removes them from the main WFElements, WFElementDetails tables as far as i am aware.If your custom queries try to get data from those, there just simply isn't any data to get, as those are moved to archive database (assuming you are archiving by moving to archive db).This could result with datarow not rendering, although for datatables it seems like Webcon explicitly turned that preview off (we're not yet using arch. functionalities, so didn't had a chance to check it).

Datatable and datarow in an archived element

2025-07-07T09:40:15+02:00

Hi,When instances are "live", datatables / datarows are just nice objects to use. However, when an element is archived, datatable shows "No data preview for an archived element", while datarow does not render at all.Scenario: a parent and 1+ children. You can have a datatable in the parent's form to show the list of children along with some relevant info, and each child may have a datarow to show the same about the parent. While parent & children are not archived, everything is just fine, but when you archive any of these elements, datatable/row gets empty and datatable shows that "No data preview ... archived ...".Data sources are custom T-SQL, but I suppose that's not the problem.I need to show the data within datatable / datarow no matter the element status.Thank you,Mihail

Missing action buttons in the item list on later steps

2025-07-07T08:09:04+02:00

Hi Micha,besides CSS / JS there's also an option to hide this button with the 'HIDE ITEM LIST BUTTON' form rule. Regardless of way, the Usages tab should help you find the reason, even if it's done by CSS/JS.Best regards,Daniel

CTE SQL no longer usable as Data Source ?

2025-07-07T07:17:30+02:00

Hi, Thanks for the reply.Your method works for an action performed on a path, -> but the data source won't hook into the transaction, so it is not possible to work on data in a transaction -> action needs to be moved to next steps where Data Base data is updated -> so it is not good in some scenarios. UPDATE: I've already figured out why CTE didn't work on Data Table -> in earlier versions of Webcon semicolon before ;With T1 as (Select ISNULL(Old,'') as Old, pivotcolumn1from WFHistoryElements...It was ok in 2025.2.1.42 - in 2025.2.1.91 it throws an error :)

Missing action buttons in the item list on later steps

2025-07-07T07:07:55+02:00

Hi Micha,maybe there is some js script (or css)?you can try to add a new step, in the matrix enable ONLY this list on it and see if it will be possible to add/remove rows. This way you will check if there is something wrong with this list or if other attributes/scripts do it.

Missing action buttons in the item list on later steps

2025-07-06T21:47:48+02:00

Hi everyone,I have a problem in a project that I took over some time ago from another developer. Specifically, the "add" button for the item list only appears on the first step, where the item list is visible. On every subsequent step, although the list is editable, there is no "add" button to allow adding more rows. Similarly, on the following steps, there are no action buttons like "clone" or "delete." I have checked the editability in these stepsboth on the attribute and on the matrix (inheritance is not broken)and made sure that it is not being manipulated by any form rule.I am using version 2025.2.1.91.Does anyone know what might cause this?

Error when using business rule in SQL query

2025-07-06T09:20:05+02:00

Hey! Ive run into a similar issue before in BPS. The tokensContainer null error often appears when the global action runs without proper context, especially if the business rule depends on workflow context or parameters that arent available during the cyclical trigger. One workaround is to refactor the business rule to avoid relying on those tokens or pass in defaults when null. Also, double-check if the data source Windykacja - Fetch debtors needs any specific context to initialize. Your setup sounds solid otherwise. Hope this helps! Using a https://www.whitepage.studio/blog/presentation-design-agencies wont fix SQL query errors directly, but its a great tool for communicating technical challenges like business rule conflicts to stakeholders. A clear deck helps non-technical audiences understand the issues impact, aligning teams and securing support for proper database or logic restructuring.

CTE SQL no longer usable as Data Source ?

2025-07-04T17:27:53+02:00

Assuming you don't need to fetch data from the current transaction, as a workaround that doesn't require major changes (like changing the data source to a connection at each point of use), I suggest changing the connection in your data source configuration from "current BPS database" to a new connection to the same database. Then the data source won't hook into the transaction and the error won't occur.

Cannot install Webcon App on Android Device

2025-07-02T13:35:11+02:00

Hi,Thanks for the additional details.The most likely reason for the issue is that your specific device model (MC333U-GJ3EG4EU) is not certified by Google Play Protect, which can prevent certain apps from being installed via the Play Store even if the Android version is supported.I checked the official Play Protect supported devices list, and unfortunately, I couldnt find this exact model there (though other Zebra devices are listed):https://storage.googleapis.com/play_public/supported_devices.htmlIf the device is indeed not certified, you may reach out to Zebra support to ask about Play certification for this model.I also recommend contacting our support team directly so they can assist you further and explore possible solutions tailored to your environment.Best regards,ukasz

2 BPS_Content databases?

2025-07-01T16:56:29+02:00

Creating multiple BPS_Content databases for the system is very helpful in terms of scaling and system performance because when creating a new BPS_Content database, the data tables (wfelements, wfelementdetails, wfhistoryelements, securities, etc.) are empty and the data for them registers anew.In the case of applications, you decide on which BPS_Content base you want to create the application and develop it on that base.You have to create the base from the installer - give the appropriate permissions and in Designer Studio switch to the new base and create the application on it.

Standard-Mail vs Custom Mail - Taskdetails in mail

2025-07-01T12:14:59+02:00

Hi Macchina,I'm assuming that the difference is strictly connected with order of execution* in Webcon. As you can see on linked image** tasks are created in the On Entry part of the schema, and with those tasks e-mails are sent, so its basically On Entry.In your case i'd move that action to On Entry, as this would reflect the behavior of sending e-mail via task creation.Transition to new step happens after On Path automation, this is the direct cause of different behavior you are experiencing.* in this article you can read more about it: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/pending-in-transaction-vs-pending-after-transaction/347/3** especially this image describes very well what happens internally https://community.webcon.com/community/public/uploads/editor/1.5.png

Should be also "Approval" instead of "Start"Of course I could place the custom-mail to "on entry" of "Approval" ... or create a template an hide "task details" and write custom text....but that seems to be dirty workarounds.Any thoughts or ideas?ThanksErnst

There are two things I want to add to Maks answer.1. Make sure you have defined night hours. Otherwise they wont be deleted if you choose to delete them during the night.2. The retention feature is not part of WEBCONAPPS. You can use the REST API as a fallback.We are also using a cyclical action to clean up technical workflows after a certain timeframe.Best regards,Daniel

2 BPS_Content databases?

2025-06-28T15:22:13+02:00

Hi Lukasz,each content database has their own applications with own ids. You can import the same application in both databases but you should modify the application group name afterwards. Importing the same application (Guid) twice will require a change in the global parameters. I think its called something along validate unique process ids during import. We have theee different use cases for multiple databases:1. One database with GxP critical applications which need to be validated and the other one for normal applications.2. Requirements due to legal reasons. For example one customer needed to separate the data by country. They are using the same process in different countries where they again have multiple business entities.3. One extremely growing process with a lot of workflow instances. This was just a decision from the SQL administrators due to recovery concerns.Best regards,Daniel

Parallel Task Not Waiting for All Users

2025-06-27T09:22:04+02:00

Hi Community,We are experiencing an issue with parallel tasks in both WEBCON BPS 2021 and a new 2025 installation.A task should be assigned to two users, and the workflow must wait for both users to complete it before moving to the next step.In workflow, I have a task step that correctly implements this logic. Task is assigned via business rule.Later in the same workflow, after a conditional gateway, there is another task step with an identical configuration. However, this task proceeds to the next step after only one of the two users completes their task. (v2021)I also tested this in v2025 and it doesn't work in neither step - after one user finishes his task the workflow moves to the next step.Configuration:Path Parameters: Operation executed on parallel tasks is set to Wait for required tasks to be completed, and Number of required completed tasks is set to All.Task Creation: Parallelism is set to Completion - All.Has anyone encountered this behavior?Kind regardsZakhariy

Hi Maksymilian!That is a good suggestion, tried that.Unfortunately it didn't work.Maybe Start-Job is not the right choice, because it starts a new thread.If I run the attached script directly on server, it works like a charm.Could you please post a snippet on how you are starting powershell script?Thank you & have a nice day!

Maybe there isn't PowerShell action directly in the cyclical action, but you could create a technical 2 step workflow, and on path add that PowerShell action.In the cycle just use start workflow action.I'm using that workaround for sending custom mass emails sometimes. When the schedule is daily I'd say those additional entries shouldn't be a problem :)

Hi Maksymilian!Running Powershell from Webcon would be an alternative (e.g. starting a new thread with Start-Job).Unfortunately there is no Powershell action available in cyclical action ...Would be great if someone from Webcon would shed a light on this topic. Seems to be an internal (maybe hardcoded) timeout for HttpClient.Thanks a lot!

Q: Customization Options for WEBCON Public Access Communications

2025-06-26T11:50:43+02:00

We will soon be using the Public Access feature, which allows external users to be invited to a WEBCON application step (in our case) or steps without a BPS account. So far, Ive only found the option to customize the invitation email (see PIC-1). However, most of the people we invite are unfamiliar with WEBCON or WEBCON BPS and dont immediately connect it to JR Rdlinger. In the invitation, weve already added powered by WEBCON so that the logo might at least be recognizable.My question is: Is there any way to customize the subsequent communication for Public Access as well (see PIC-2)? For example, by using a custom background image or replacing or supplementing the logo graphic. It would also be fine if this could be handled simply by having IT swap out a file on the server.As it stands, I feel that limiting these adjustments solely to the invitation is not ideal.Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide!Bjoern

Http client timeout

2025-06-26T11:35:40+02:00

Hi Nikolaus,Looked up through dotnet docs, and it seems like it's default limit of connection duration for HttpClient class which is internally used for REST actions.Seems like automations execution time limit doesn't override that limit too.I'm not aware of any configuration which webcon gives to override this default value unfortunatelly.* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpclient.timeout?view=net-8.0On the solution - maybe using Run a PowerShell script action would help - handle that request using a PowerShell script, and just call that script from Webcon? However i'm not sure if you need some kind of response from the service.

Hi all!Maybe this question has already been answered before, but I am struggling with an automation and action 'Invoke REST webservice'.I want to start REST API endpoint within a cyclical action on a daily schedule.This is some kind of 'long running operation', at the moment it takes 10 minutes on PROD environment.I already set execution time limit to 6000 for automation and also in global configuration, this should be fair enough.But all I am getting is HttpClient error message after 100s.Any ideas on how to solve this problem?Thanks a lot in advance & best regards, Nik

Was FOR EACH ROW execution order changed between WEBCON versions 2022 and 2025?

2025-06-19T13:00:17+02:00

I used JS button to InvokeRule(Form rule). Form rule used FOR EACH ROW function on Item list to populate technical column with increment integer (1, 2, 3). This integer was used for Item list sorting in Item list configuration. While in version 2022, the execution order of FOR EACH ROW was driven by sorting (even unsaved) Item list as seen on the screen (First sorted visible row first, Last sorted visible row last), it is not the case in version 2025. What is the driver for FOR EACH ROW execution order over Item list rows now? How can I control it? I used this functionality for users to fix their preferred sorted item list order between savings of partial changes (action needed in process). How to achieve the same behavior/functionality as described in version 2025?

Long URL in hyperlink item list column

2025-06-17T08:37:02+02:00

I would add to this, that instead of saving whole URL you could consider saving only id parts of the url, and then using data row to concatenate whole address.So a column external_id would store 123456, and inside data row, you could do SELECT CONCAT('https://some_website/some/path/to/resource/', '{external_id}'),this way you are safe in case that the domain changes in the future, and as a side effect it also uses less space in the db, as link is constructed on display.

Error when using business rule in SQL query

Hi guys,I'm trying to cyclically start new elements in BPS based on data retrieved from another system. I already have an endpoint that returns the required data.To achieve this, I planned to use a global action (cyclical). First, I created a business rule that fetches the data using a REST API. Then, I wrote an SQL query that utilized this business rule to retrieve the data.However, when testing it, I keep encountering the following error:WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.BusinessRules.Exceptions.BusinessRuleEvaluationException: Error occurred during rule SQL Fetch contractors with debt (Id: 5834) evaluation. ---> System.Exception: Error getting data for DataSource name: Windykacja - Fetch debtors ID: 3371 ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'tokensContainer')It's worth mentioning that the business rule itself works correctly and doesn't return this error when executed independently. Im attaching a screenshot of the business rule configuration, the SQL query, and the full error log.Id be very grateful for your help :)

Hi Franek,yes, that should work fine. The Designer Studio 2022 also communicates with the server using some internal REST API. At least as of R3, this is the oldest Designer Studio version I have on my machine. I assume that the Designer Studio uses the same address/port which you used to connect to the portal. So in theory it could be another port, if you changed it. But this is just theoretical. No one would tell their users, to enter a port after the address :)If you haven't stumbled about it I would recommend to read through this and the linked post of upgrading to 2023:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/upgrade-2022-to-2025Best regards,Daniel

Menu button - visibility on form

2025-06-03T14:04:36+02:00

Hi Antonina,most of `Actions` which are executed, require that the document already have a database ID assigned so it have to be saved.It's technical limitation of the platform.You could add something like `On open` -> Use path, which will do the save automatically, but I wouldn't recommend this, as it could cause junk forms.I'm assuming this action does something like reading some default values into the list?If so, you could try using item list initialization: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILConf_Init/

Hi,we would like to pick a group in a form field and to use all members of this group as filter for another user picker field.Using the function GROUP MEMBERS [AD-Group Login and name] in a business rule works fine. Setting this one into an ALERT all members are returned as expected.Using 'testgroup' as string in the group picker of the function GROUP MEMBERS ['testgroup'] in a filter of a data source works fine and all members are returned as expected.But using the AD-Group field in the function GROUP MEMBERS [AD-Group Login and name] in a filter of a data source always returns no result. The name of the AD-Group field is "testgroup" - tested with an ALERT.It would be great if passing a "person or group" field to the "group member" function would work as it does in the business rules. Could this be a bug? Or are we missing anything?Kind RegardsSbastien

If the printer test in the entry point passes, it might be an access-related issue. In the document entry point configuration, please verify that you have specified the user, as shown in the screenshot attached. The login format is important here. Depending on the environment, it needs to be inserted as a domain login or UPN. To make sure if it's an access issue, you can use an action on the menu button. Please add a new menu button with the "Print a barcode label" action inside it. If you can't see the menu button in the form, it means your user is not set in the document entry point. It's also a great method to test a printer ad-hoc. There is also a nice article on how to create printout templates: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/how-to-create-barcode-printout-templates/399/17

Hi Arthuzad,the question is very vague, but i'll give few shots to answer:1.

If you need to import some data into a dictionary, then the easiest option would be Import/Export by Excel * https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Studio_ToolBar_Import/3. If there is a lot of records required >500, then it might be better to do it via Cyclic Action, or REST Api, I've written a series which describes both ways: https://blog.lumenn.pl/importing-data-to-webcon-1/

Hi, i have a question in regards to saving data and obtaining it later. So, i have an item list where each user has an id, if i change any of these attribute fields, changes need also to take effect in the dictionary. There is a specific field that will trigger this action. I already created a query that will map correct attributes with update command. I'm interested in the logic that would need to take place in obtaining the current changes.thoughts:- after triggering specific field in the item list, trigger save path that will save the instance changes. add extra field in the item list with boolean that will examine is something changed or not.- parsing current values with js and creating json which can be read via sql, this could potentially be more complex

Hi Nikolaus,I've checked how it works in our environment (version 2025.2.1.35).First of all i've created test api definition as seen in screenshots, a simple example - just starting new empty workflow.An important thing was to check Authorization mode, documented here (without it i've been getting permission errors):* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/APIDefinition#5-authentication-modeSecond part is the API client/secret - I'm using a full access token for development purposes, but to test the scopes i'm specyfing those in authorization requests.Make sure, that you've saved those scopes allowed per specific application, so you are trying to get permissions to scope, to which you can get those.Now testing, using curl it goes like that:1. We log in as the application:curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://webcondevelopment/api/oauth2/token' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={your_client_here}&client_secret={your_secret_here}&scope=App.UserDefAPI.ReadWrite.All'2. Using returned access_token we can now try to execute the action:curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://webcondevelopment/api/udef/db/1/test' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \ -d '{}'From permission perspecitve I gave permissions on the application level and on process level.When error says Invalid scopes i would check 3 times if those are properly defined on both ends - webcon, and the application/script executing the api call, it looks like it's the first thing that webcon checks before it proceeds to do anything else.

WebCon Workflow Service Not Starting

Hi,Sometimes setting up a scheduler (Task Scheduler) and a powershell script helps:Get-Service -Name "WebCon WorkFlow Service" | Where-Object {$_.Status -NE "Running"} | Start-Service$date = get-date $date | export-csv C:\PowerShell\log.csvThe service may not start, for example, when you are making a backup or when the database simply does not respond after starting the server.

User defined API

2025-05-24T12:44:37+02:00

Hi all!I am trying out the new user defined API in 2025 R2.I have a client application with application context and added the scope App.UserDefAPI.ReadWrite.All (according to documentation this is necessary to get access to endpoint with automation).In addition the REST API client is application admin, can start new workflows and so on...What I am trying to do is a POST to an automation endpoint, which starts another workflow in its automation (very simple).But all I am getting is, regardless of what I do:{ "description": "Invalid scopes", "guid": "48078ebb-424f-4a0f-9a27-7e67e408e148"}The guid cannot be found in designer studio, there is also no automation log.Remark: The endpoint with a datasource works fine.Did I miss something or this is a bug?Thanks a lot in advance, Nik

URL for current Instance

2025-05-23T14:59:32+02:00

Hi Ernst,solution, which i'm currently using:1. Create a Global Constant let's call it Hostname, and make it specific per environment, like https://companydev, https://companytest, https://companyprod2. Using that constant create a Global Business rule like the one attached - using concat create whole url, in my case its using 3 parameters, but you could hardcode database id and app id if it won't be global for example.

updating field from another report(dictionary)

2025-05-23T11:56:36+02:00

Let's say we have following example:Dictionary: People, Fields: Name, IDWorkflow: Salary ManagementOn some day HR created a new instance of Salary Management for new employee - John Doe, with ID 17Few months passes, and John Doe changes last name to Doe-Foo due to getting married.HR updates ID 17 John Doe in People Dictionary to John Doe-Foo.Due to the fact how webcon stores the data this change will not affect Salary Management form filled in when John was employed, and on that form there will be still displayed as John Doe, same with reports.If you have to change the display of picker value - it's not possible without changing the value of the field with new updated value:: John Doe-Foo (manually or with an action).You could though use calculated columns on reports, or data row field on the form, which will display the data accordingly to what is currently stored under People Dictionary.Adding to solution by Daniel - if it's necessary that's the way, but if there will be many documents in different processes/applications it might be tedious to catch them all :)

Hi Arthuzad,Maks listed the data table/data row documentation which would to create a "calculated column" in the form.If you really need to update the data, than you could also use the "Update related workflow" action. You can execute a "save" action on another workflow instance with this. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/UpdateParentWorkflow/We have a similar case, where we need to update data in multiple processes, if the source is updated. This is handled using this action.Best regards,Daniel

2025-05-23T09:25:19+02:00

Hi Arthuzad,This one is let's say tricky, and is directly connected with how WEBCON stores data in database.Choose fields, are stored in database in WFElements as id#name in one cell, so the name being displayed is read from the value that have been saved on a specific element.Changing the "name" in dictionary doesn't trigger any automatic updates in places, where the name have been already used (most of the time i'd say it's good behavior, as it doesn't impact history).If you'd like to display 'current' data, then you could use calculated columns on a report, which will JOIN on the id of dictionary with id stored in specific Choose field, and return specific column.* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/using-calculated-columns/196/35If you'd like to achieve the same but on the form instead of report, then - use data row, or data table fields:* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/DataPres/SelectField* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/DataPres/Sql_grid/

POST to move process to next step.

2025-05-22T09:41:56+02:00

Hi,if you are running on 2025 R2, then you could define a custom API endpoint within designer studio - as body pass in ID of the instance and/or path id, and as the automation you can use Move Workflow (SQL) action. No ideas in previous versions though.Related documentation here: * https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/APIDefinition/* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/Workflow/MoveManyWorkFlows/* https://webcon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Changelog_2025_2_1_35_EN.pdf - changelog introducing functionality - look under 5.10

Error when trying to import translation

2025-05-19T14:08:59+02:00

The message "unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." was from the event log.I tried exporting a new translation and importing it without editing the excel file, the error was still occured.

Error when trying to import translation

2025-05-16T11:04:36+02:00

Hi,Firstly, see if there is more information in the event log.From my own experience, I know that if the translation files can contain errors that cause problems y with the import. Errors are e.g. some white characters pasted into the translated data, or e.g. the translated data is not the text entered in the cell but e.g. an excel formula. It all depends on who translated the file and how.Try generating a new file to translate from the process, then copy e.g. the first 3-5 translated columns from the translated file into this new one, and try importing anyway, bit by bit.... you should be able to trace where there is possibly an error in the data.Regards.

OK, as I know in Freemium I can't disable sending data in app configuration, but I can block it on firewall (local machine or network scope) for outgoing trafic? Do you know the destination address, protocol (https?)? And is it in any way dependent on communication with the WEBCON license server?

Hi, Is there any solution to add support for Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) for protected files? We have implemented the MIP system, but Webcon seems not to recognize labeled files. So we can't use internal protected files as attachments in webcon, even though webcon service users have privileges to do so. Error when we try to view the file / or edit:Aspose.Words.UnsupportedFileFormatException: Unknown file formatIs there a plan for a solution that will decrypt files before attaching them to the system if the webcon service user has permission to access the files?

Question on reports in Portal

2025-05-07T12:09:46+02:00

Hi Gerd,this is not supported.The column selection defines which database columns are fetched. Since each process defines there own columns the meaning of the database column could be different. For example in the first process WFD_AttText1 stores the title of a workflow instance, and in the second one the name of a department.The approach with the calculated column will work, as long as there's a 1:1 relationship. If you have multiple subworkflows this won't work, at least if you want to display multiple columns. It will be hard for the user to identify which value in a string belongs to which subworkflow.@AdamIf you enable the diagnostic mode you can see the executed SQL statement and the alias wfelemsBest regads,Daniel

Dear Gerd, have you tried to use Calculated column with "wfelems."? Not an expert here, but recently I heard about use of "wfelems." in calculated column, where you can "join" data from related item (like parent item).Here is a thread by Max Stachowiak on this forum where you can see an example:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5144?messageid=5144"(SELECTdbo.ClearWFElem(WFD_AttChoose2) /* Customer */FROMWFElements JOINWFSteps ON WFD_STPID = STP_ID JOINWorkFlows ON WF_ID = STP_WFIDWHEREWF_GUID = 'af556142-7ad9-44e1-9xy2-550c2cxz361cf' AND /* GUID WF Order */WFD_ID = wfelems.WFD_AttChoose5_ID /* Field Order Relation */)"Notice the last line, where you can see the relation between elements.Hope this may help you finding proper solution.

Upgrade to WEBCON BPS 2025 R2 and Solr / JAVA issue

2025-05-06T10:21:55+02:00

Dear Community,Id like to share a potential issue I encountered during the upgrade to WEBCON BPS 2025 R2, specifically related to the Search Server component. I hope this post can save others some time and effort. Problem SummaryDuring the upgrade process, the Search Server component fails to start due to a missing Java installation. This occurs even if Java was installed previously via the default WEBCON setup using OpenJDK. Root Cause1.The upgrade process deletes the entire WEBCON BPS Search Server folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\WEBCON\WEBCON BPS Search Server), which, in my case, also contained the bundled Java installation.2.The Java folder is not restored or re-copied during the Solr/Search Server update phase.3.As a result, when the setup attempts to launch the Search Server, it fails due to a missing JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME, as seen in the Solr logs. WorkaroundsYou can resolve or avoid this issue using one of the following methods:Option 1 Recommended:Install or copy Java (e.g., OpenJDK) to a separate directory (not inside the WEBCON BPS Search Server folder).Update the JRE_HOME system environment variable to point to this location.Restart the upgrade of Solr (done automatically after fail)Option 2 Timing-Based Fix (Advanced):As soon as the WEBCON BPS Search Server folder is recreated during setup, quickly copy Java back into it before the Search Server tries to start (youll have around 1015 seconds).This works but requires precise timing and is more of a temporary hack.Hope this helps someone in case of similar issue. Best.

I am trying (without any success) to read data (ie. employee id) from an existing text-based PDF (test pdf created via MS Word).The documentation is explaining the different actions (ie. wait for ocr ai, wait for text-layer), but not how they actually work together or how to use them.Maybe I am completly wrong in trying to use "OCR AI recognition", "Wait for OCR AI" etc.....My goal is:* A configured hot-folder puts a pdf into a workflow (=> working)* A step/action/etc. reads the employee id from the pdf and puts it into the wf instance into "EmployeeID"I also looked into OCR AI projects (Systems Settings)... but no clue how this should work. I found no information how to create a dll or if a custom dll is needed at all.Any ideas?

Registration point

2025-05-04T11:07:27+02:00

Hello! Could you please share your configuration of your registration point? I think the best solution here is to share your device as a network printer and use its address at the registration point ( e.g. \\MYCOMPUTER\LabelPrinter). The BPS service account should have access to that printer. WEBCON BPS can integrate with printers that: - Supports EPL and ZPL printing language- Supports printing at least 1D: Code-128 i 2D: DataMatrix- Having an Ethernet interface is advised

Hi Micha,There is a known bug in 2024 and 2025 that makes ongoing absences not visible on the chart. The chart shows only historical and planned absences.For 2025 it will be fixed in 2025.2. For 2024 it was fixed in the latest build 2024.1.1.248 - I'm attaching a snippet from changelog.That's probably it. Sorry for the inconvenience!Kind regards

Hi,I'm using version 2025.1.1.44 and came across a strange behaviour. We have a leave of absence process. On the first day of leave, it is visible in the absence chart. On the second day and until the end it stops being visible! After the leave ends it becomes visible once again. This is very strange, but I guess it is not a problem of the process, but only concerning the display of the absence chart. Has anyone experienced such a behaviour? Has it been a bug and is now fixed in the current version?

Hello community,We updated to the version 2025 and we miss in Reports configuration Columns Default sorting (See picture attached). In the v. 2025 documentation is written: Additionally, you can define up to 3 levels of Default sorting by system or process columns. These settings will be visible as soon as the report is loaded. But we cannot see it.

Platform compatibility 2026 R1: Searching structures Removed - Who is using it?

2025-04-18T10:40:04+02:00

Dear All,Thank you for your feedback regarding the Searching Structures functionality.After careful, further consideration and direct discussions with many community members, we've decided to proceed with removing the Searching Structures functionality. While this may initially require an adjustment to your way of working, I'm confident that using reports with their comprehensive configuration options will provide a better experience in the long run. Just as a reminder - each newly created application automatically generates as well a default report.While the Searching Structures control has served its purpose, it's now outdated and I believe it's the right time to just let it go.Thank you again for all the comments, having such an active and engaged community is extremely valuable for me and our entire team. Please continue sharing your thoughts and suggestions in the Forum to help us improve WEBCON BPSKind regardsDawid

Platform compatibility 2026 R1: Searching structures Removed - Who is using it?

2025-04-15T17:16:15+02:00

Hi everyone,From my perspective - setting up a report for a process is a must - you'll have to do it anyway, so creating a simple one for development purposes is not a time wasted, you'll have to do it anyway.In the end, you can start sooner to think how end users will move around the app.Most of end users which ended up in Searching structures asked if it's possible to hide it, so we're currently doing it as of 2025 it's possible to hide them completely.My perspective on end users is just one company though, but as a dev i've never used it.

Problem with counting notifications on the Portal

2025-04-15T07:04:24+02:00

Hi Maciek,I'm really surprised, that tasks have been assigned to the employee also the AD account was blocked. The last time, when a task should be assigned to a user which is no longer active / can not be resolved in people field, we got an error. My approach would be:- Identify the tasks/workflows from the database level- Check which of those should actually have task. Maybe there's / has been an error in the configuration and tasks have been assigned in the final step. I can't imagine that there are really 5000 workflow instances waiting for an actions. If this is actually true my question would be, whether you need the process at all. - End the tasks of completed workflowsIf you have found workflows, which shouldn't have any tasks, you should complete these tasks. There are two options, the supported one, with creating a new path and triggering it's execution or the non supported one with changing the data in the database. -Alternatively delete the workflow instances, which are no longer importantWe have a process in our dev environment, which has a field for workflow ids, get's all the workflows and their children, and theirs until the last level and then deletes those workflow instance from the last level backward.- If there are still to many tasks which have to be worked on, go into each application and handle those individually.Best regards,Daniel

Retrieving previous and comparing to new value

2025-04-11T15:52:43+02:00

Hi, I'm having a dilemma about comparing two date objects. My thinking is when I do sql queries to retrieve data from objects it will give you already stored db results, but with webcon functions you actually get value before it is actually stored. It does not work this way, so i'm looking for a way to do it. In conclusion, it should compare date before change and after change (this is triggered on menu action SAVE).

HTML field

2025-04-11T13:04:55+02:00

Hi,the HTML field is not a value which is stored per workflow instance in the WFElements table. It's a field configuration. Even if the value of the HTML field would be stored, it would depend on the HTML tags. The report only supports a limited number of HTML elements.Therefore you would need to test Bartosz idea with the calculated column.Best regards,Daniel

SQL rights - Installation R2025

2025-04-11T08:37:06+02:00

Hi Ernst,The account used to connect WEBCON BPS to SQL Server depends on the choice of "Databases owner" made during the installation. Look up chapter "2.5.2. Database creation parameters" of Standalone installation instructions. WEBCON BPS installer will grant db_owner permission for your account of choice to all BPS databases. The choice impacts the connection string.If new/existing SQL login was chosen, then its credentials are used in connection string and no domain account needs db_owner privileges.If "Use application pool account" was chosen, then connection string will have "Integrated authentication=True;" parameter in connection string, meaning that both application pool and service accounts will be granted db_owner permissions and will be used in connections to SQL Server.As far as I am concerned, this was not changed between versions. Kind regards

i'm using global constant and {egv:3} is shown instead of url, could it be up to instance visibility some option section ?

Link to the workflow element

2025-04-10T13:43:07+02:00

for me it displays as a correct link (screenshot).Remember to provide the portal url at the beginning of the address (for me it is a global constant)

Link to the workflow element

2025-04-10T13:33:52+02:00

that's perfect, but afterwards still only get instance number as plain text even though it's preceded by a(anchor) element ?

Hi,you can use this option (screenshot 1) or insert the link into the email content yourself (screenshot 2)

Thanks Daniel, I'll overrite the name in COS after each synchronization then. This will solve the problem.

SQL rights - Installation R2025

Thanks Daniel!A clarification from WEBCON would be fine ;-)Best regardsErnst

SQL rights - Installation R2025

2025-04-09T12:57:21+02:00

Hi Ernst,that's a great question which I haven't asked yet.We have numerous installation where it behaves differently. We always create a BPS user for the access to the database but regardless of this setting, sometimes the application pool account needs access to the databases and sometimes it doesn't.I haven't looked into it any further because the priority of this is somewhere way beneath zero. :)Best regards,Daniel

SQL rights - Installation R2025

2025-04-09T09:13:56+02:00

Hello,we have a production- and a dev-environment. The production environment was installed in 10/2024 (R 2024 version.. and updated to the latest R2025), the dev-environment was installed a few days ago (R 2025).For each stage we have 2 system accounts:Prod:service_webconservice_webcon_iisDev:service_webcon_devservice_webcon_iis_devIn the production environment the user service_webcon_iis has NO SQL rights and is configured as user for the application pool.service_webcon is used for the service.So far so good.So we prepared the accounts for the dev-stage exactly like the accounts in the prod-stage (of course different servers and different SQL server).service_webcon_iis_dev is used as application pool user, service_webcon_dev is used for the service.If we start the dev-stage with this configuration we get an exception: sql login failed for service_webcon_iis_devWebcon versions are the same, Server prod is windows 2016, Server dev is windows 2022.So my questions:1) why is this difference? Why does the application pool user need SQL-rights?2)the installation says that both accounts needs sql-rights. Is this correct? And if so, why does it work in our production environment (application pool user service_webcon_iis has NO SQL rights)?3) If I use the service_webcon_dev for the application pool (or give service_webcon_iis_dev SQL rights) .. all is working correkt.Thanks!Ernst

Hi,You can also set a timeout for the automation execution this way, you'll be able to easily identify which ones exceed the defined time limit. Best regards,ukasz

"xxxx - Registered App" user name

2025-04-08T17:35:13+02:00

Hi Rafa,there's no way to change this. Except from overwriting the value in the COS whenever the user synchronization has been executed.You could check out whether switching from "App context" to "User context" would be feasible. I haven't used it yet.https://developer.webcon.com/docs/api-registration-and-authentication#user-context-configurationIf this doesn't work, because another system triggers the workflow initiation you could use a special path with an own form type. I would use this path to create a new workflow instance using an action and overwrite the user. The workflow started by the API would then be deleted automatically with an action. The second form type wouldn't cause missing numbers in the instance numbering.Best regards,Daniel

How to Copy meta tags with SharePoint Site?

2025-04-08T14:35:10+02:00

To copy meta tags from a SharePoint site, you'll need to access the HTML code of the page. First, open the page you want to work with on the SharePoint site. Right-click on the page and select "View Page Source" (or use the browser's developer tools). Look for the tags in the code, which contain information like page description, author, or other details. You can then copy the content of these meta tags, such as the or . To apply these tags to another page, you can paste them into the new page's HTML structure or use a SharePoint web part to insert them, depending on your site setup. Keep in mind that SharePoint doesn't always provide a built-in way to manage meta tags directly, so some manual effort may be needed. To proceed with the migration efficiently, it is considered to opt for the: https://www.systools.in/products/sharepoint-to-sharepoint/

"xxxx - Registered App" user name

2025-04-08T10:42:19+02:00

Hi, after creating/registering an API application, a user is automatically created. For instance, if the API app is named "something", the created user is named "something - Registered App".This user needs access rigts for the app/process it need access, and that's clear.But, api actions are also performed by that user, and this name is visible (for example - if we start the workflow over API, workflow instance is started by "something - Registered App").So, how can I change the user name from ""something - Registered App" to anyfing else, like just "something" ?I don't want my users to see "something - Registered App", they won't understand who or what started the workflow... :-(

Access archived Workflows via API

2025-04-08T10:39:25+02:00

Hello,we are using the API to create workflow instances by another system. We are also checking if this workflow has already been created.Now to the problem:Unfortunately we are not able to access the archived instances with api-call and check for existing workflows: api/data/v5.0/db/{{dbid}}/applications/{{applicationid}}/search?search=xxxx:xxxxif the workflow instance is not yet archived we are able to access it. Is there a way to access archived workflows via API?Thanks a lot!

Hi Klaus,the question is what actions did you define in the OnExit, OnPath and OnEntry triggers?- Are they creating subworkflows- Is something maybe creating a deadlockDid you activate the diagnostic log? I'm not sure that it will return any information, when the executions runs on a timeout. In most cases you should get a timeout error about to long running executions anyway. Did you increase the setting?Best regards,Daniel

Hi,This message indicates that your request might be taking a long time to complete. Please note that IIS has a default request timeout of 2 minutes.You can verify the duration of each request using your browsers developer tools (press F12 in Chrome), then navigate to the Network tab. There, youll be able to see if any request exceeds the 2-minute threshold.Best regards,ukasz

Change field value from cyclical global action

2025-04-03T09:09:15+02:00

Ok, now it's clear. I knew about "Move workflow (sql)" and "Update related workflow instance" actions but this "Change Field Value" confused me :) Thank you.

Change field value from cyclical global action

2025-04-02T21:37:12+02:00

Hi Arek,the action can only be used in combination with automation parameters in a cyclical action.The cyclical action itself runs without a context.You can use either the "Move workflow (sql)" action and add the necessary actions to the path of the workflow or use the "Update related workflow instance" action. The later one is the same as hitting the save button.Best regards,Daniel

Change field value from cyclical global action

Hi,I can see that in Cyclical Global Action there is possibility to use Change Field Value action. But I can't select any field on configuration tab. Does anyone know what is the problem? How I should use it? My business case is that I need to update a field which is based on some dictionary. Simply task - replace one value with another. It is needed to comply with some other needs and keep the data clean. My version is 2025.1.1.23

Platform compatibility 2026 R1: Searching structures Removed - Who is using it?

"For performance reasons, we plan to withdraw "Searching structures" in version 2026 R1 and later releases. Please remember that this functionality can be effectively replaced by standard reports."Yes, while it can technically be replaced by standard reports it requires: - Setting up a report for each process, even for "technical" workflows which are just running in the background. For some reasons our applications always have at least one. - Hiding the reports in a way that it works on all environments

Differences in report vs in the data table attribute

Differences in report vs in the data table attribute

2025-04-02T11:53:29+02:00

Hi, why is there a difference in how multiple lines of text with append mode enabled are displayed in report vs in the data table attribute? In the report, each entry is shown one below the other, but in the data table attribute, they appear side by side, which looks bad on the form. Is there any way to change that?

I totally agree. This feature is quick and easy and very useful not only in testing. I use to on a frequent basis as well and would suggest it be kept in Webcon.

API, starting new element with a ChoiceField, InvalidFieldData

2025-03-31T13:26:19+02:00

Thank you for your help. The svalues were passed correctly, as I was using body of existing element fetched with GET request.Thanks to you it turned out, that I did not grant access to the process being the source of options for the ChoicePicker.That missing permission was surprising. I was quite used to the fact, that I can create element with body coming from GET.

Either when I'm creating a new application and I don't want to bother with reports at this point in time or when doing support in production environments. Am I'm the only one who is using it?Best regards,Daniel

Hi,I am unable to figure out how to use the Webcon REST API for starting new element. My issue relates to the "ChoicePicker" / "Autocomplete" fields, where I cannot find the way to submit the value.I think that I have tried all the combinations, but I always end up with the same error.Public Api POST /api/data/v6.0/db/1/elements- "formFields"[] - "guid":"...", "value": [{"id": "115"}] - "guid":"...", "value": [{"id": "115", "name": "ElementName"}] - "guid":"...", "svalue": "115" - "guid":"...", "svalue": "115", "value": [{"id": "115"}] - "guid":"...", "svalue": "115#ElementName" - "guid":"...", "svalue": "115#ElementName", "value": [{"id": "115"}] - "guid":"...", "svalue": "115#ElementName", "value": [{"id": "115", "name": "ElementName"}]Can it be caused by "scope / permission" issues?

SDK - webcon 2024, 2025. License and signing key

2025-03-27T12:50:11+01:00

You must refer to the EULA document (https://webcon.com/eula/). For Perpetual licenses (not subscription) to use SDK add-ons created by the client (not WEBCON and not an authorized Partner) in the system, an additional license is required: WEBCON BPS SDK Framework. These conditions also applied in versions older than 2025, but the system did not check the presence of the SDK Framework license package. In the current version, a system check was introduced.So, to use add-ons created internally by the customer, it is necessary to purchase the appropriate license.

2025-03-26T21:33:45+01:00

Hi Dom,I've also noticed that sometimes the latest data is not available for an action. Maybe the attachment is not yet committed to the database and therefore the action can not read it. Sometime it helps to move action from the OnPath trigger to the OnEntry of the next step. I'm not sure whether I faced this specific issue. I try to remember where I have a case, in which an attachment is added by a user to a new instance which has not yet been saved. I don't think so. While attachment are automatically saved, if they are added to an existing instance, they are somehow temporarily saved for a new instance. On the one hand they need to be available/editable, also the instance is not yet saved /the WFD_ID is null. On the other hand they need to be deleted, if the user aborted the creation of the instance.Best regards,Daniel

SDK - webcon 2024, 2025. License and signing key

2025-03-26T21:27:18+01:00

Hi Franek,since you are developing your own plugins, the "SDK Framework" should be listed in the licenses overview (1). This is always the case if you have a subscription license. These can easily be identified by the expiration date (2). If the SDK Framework is not listed, you need purchase the SDK Framework license. Otherwise you won't be able to run plugins after upgrading to 2024+.Partners can provide plugins which can then be used by others, even if they don't have a SDK Framework license. The partner needs to sign the assembly with a private key and provide the public key of the assembly to WEBCON. If a plugin with a known public key is loaded/executed the license check is ignored. At least these are my assumptions on how it ,may be implemented. But I don't know the technical details. Best regards,Daniel

Hi, Could you clarify what changes were made to the SDK licenses in WEBCON 2024 and 2025? I dont fully understand the modifications and would like to know if I need to take any additional steps regarding the license or key to sign plugins. If Im currently using an SDK plugin developed by our in-house development team, does that mean I might not have an SDK license? Or do I need to do something with the signing key? Im a bit confused. For context, we have a perpetual license - webcon 2022On Danielk's blog: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/webcon-bps-2024-change-log#sdks"In addition to this: If you are not creating SDKs on your own, but have a partner do it, ask them whether they have given WEBCON the public key. Otherwise it may happen that these cannot be used."in the webcon change log to 2024 version:"Changed the method of license control when using SDK extensions.The change applies to perpetual license environments where SDK extensions areactively used. Currently, the license that allows the use of SDK extensions isverified before the plugin is run. Before upgrading the system, it is recommendedto verify the availability of the WEBCON BPS SDK Framework license in theenvironment. A list of current licenses is available in Designer Studio underReports Licenses License usage.Regardless of the availability of the WEBCON BPS SDK Framework license, SDKextensions created by authorized WEBCON partners, who have signed theextensions with their key previously provided to WEBCON, can be run on theenvironment.For environments running under a subscription-based licensing model, no actionis required the WEBCON BPS SDK Framework is licensed by default under thismodel.The SDK plugins can also be used freely in time-limited environments (demolicense) and in installations based on the Freemium version."

Hi Dom,the Body type "binary" works just fine for uploading documents to SharePoint. The multi part is way more complex and caused me problems. One of those is, that I'm not really knowledgeable about it at all and the body may depend on the endpoint implementation.I haven't created ticket at WEBCON because I wouldn't have time to follow up on it anyway.

Im using Google OpenID for authentication (traffic is allowed from server to Google service), and the login process completes successfully. Even in browser while accessing portal I can authenticate successfully, but after that this error appears (when WEBCON BPS portal page should appear).Could this issue be related to the servers lack of internet access? Reinstalled .net hosting bundle.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys!Thank you both your insights are extremely valuable! While none of the suggestions fully solve my issue out of the box, combining your ideas should definitely help me work out the best solution with the client really appreciate it!@Maksymilian I know that for-each loop was used previously by another developer, and it actually caused even more serious performance issues at the time. However, Ill double-check, because if youre right that it allows breaking the transaction scope and processing each operation "asynchronously", then combining it with Daniels idea of offloading the actions into a subworkflow might actually be the best direction here.I'll do some testing and will definitely come back with the results might be useful for someone else in the future :)Thanks again, guys!Best regards,Damian

If you change the default dashboard to custom dashboard the users won't see them.

Handling transactions in “Move Workflows (SQL)” action

2025-03-18T21:59:30+01:00

Hi Damian,I'm not aware of any asynchronous functions or individual controls over transactions.The idea of embedding a report in the form which would allow triggering mass actions would surely work, but it could also be a long waiting time. I've used a report for something else in 2022, so I know that it would be possible.I'm currently also working on another related area.- We are getting data from a server which is stored in an item list with about 700 rows.- Afterwards it's checked whether the row can be mapped to an existing workflow instance- Depending on the result a new workflow instance is created or an existing workflow instance is updated. - In both cases the the workflow is moved to a step which doesn't have any actions.- The target step has a timeout which will move the workflow forward an process the actual actions- If this fails the the workflow is moved to an "Errored" state.- After the error is reviewed the workflow is moved back to the previous step. We couldn't use the back function in this case, because a path of the error step may have been triggered which lead back to the error step.- If the actions have been applied, the workflow is moved back to the "Active" step and is waiting for other updates.This primary workflow is triggered in the night, so it doesn't matter if it takes some time, when the other workflow take a few minutes to completes. The biggest drawback is, that we are generating multiple versions for each instance, if one is updated.Off topic:Since you are running 2022 you should keep this post in mind:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/upgrade-2022-to-2025Best regards,Daniel

Handling transactions in “Move Workflows (SQL)” action

2025-03-18T16:12:17+01:00

Hi everyone,Damian, could you share what are some causes of the error?Are those REST API calls made in the same automation in which you 'move workflows (sql)', or are they made on path transition of moved elements?I'm thinking how for-each loop over those instances would work (i'm almost sure this would be slower, but maybe it will have some influence on the transactions),

Handling transactions in “Move Workflows (SQL)” action

2025-03-18T10:58:15+01:00

Hi Daniel,When I was writing my post, I had a feeling you might share some valuable insights and I wasnt wrong. Thanks a lot for your detailed response. Subprocesses and batch updates are definitely approaches Ive considered. While they may not be an ideal fit for my scenario, Ill certainly keep them in mind if no better solution comes up.Im currently working with WEBCON BPS 2022 and was wondering do you know if newer versions offer any native features that would allow asynchronous processing of such updates? Or perhaps someone from the WEBCON Team could share whether such a feature is planned for future releases?Ive also been exploring a few other ideas:1.Using the SDK is it possible to trigger such updates via the WEBCON REST API in a way that would give more control over individual transactions?2.From a business process perspective, the ideal solution would work similarly to mass actions on reports where processing is done in bulk, but a failure in one item doesnt roll back changes already applied to others.Do you think embedding a report directly in the form could help achieve this?Or is there any way to trigger mass actions on a SQL Grid or similar control?Any thoughts or experience around these ideas would be much appreciated.Thanks again!

Handling transactions in “Move Workflows (SQL)” action

2025-03-17T22:58:54+01:00

Hi Damian,luckily I haven't encountered a scenario where I had to execute REST requests, which create/update data in an external system, but I have similar cases.I don't know your scenario, but I may have a similar one:- We need to update data in all our active claim workflows with data from the ERP system- We don't know when the data is updated, therefore I created a technical workflow which is triggered via a cyclical action- This technical workflow spawns subworkflows for each claim to get the data- The technical workflow waits until all subworkflows are completed- Creates an item list in which the current data in the claim workflow is compared with the retrieved date stored in the subworkflows- Actions are defined for each row like "Update claim workflow", "No action"- The claim workflows are updated in batches of 50 using a flow control which leads back to the previous step, if there's any action in "Update claim workflow"- The technical workflow has a timeout on each step which "clicks" through the workflow.While this is different from your case, the two approaches could be useful for you:- Spawn subprocesses- Update the workflow in batchesBest regards,Daniel

Handling transactions in “Move Workflows (SQL)” action

2025-03-17T22:03:32+01:00

Hi everyone,I have a scenario where, in one of our workflows, we use the Move Workflows (SQL) action on a transition path to update multiple workflow instancesoften dozens or even hundreds. Each of these updated workflows executes several actions upon transition, including making a REST API request to an external system.The issue arises when, for example, out of 150 instances, 140 complete successfully, but the 141st encounters an error. In such a case, all changes within the workflow instances are rolled back, but the REST API calls have already been sent, potentially causing inconsistencies between systems.From a business process perspective, a better approach would be if each instance update were handled as a separate transaction. This way, if 145 instances update successfully and 5 fail, the user would only need to address those 5 errors rather than losing all progress due to a single failure.Has anyone dealt with a similar case? What potential solutions do you see that balance performance and business requirements?

Calcuted Columns in Solr Reports

That's basically it. You mentioned all three that I had in mind. However, I just came across this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28443765/solr-how-do-i-join-on-a-subquery and now I wonder if it'd be possible to fetch subworkflows' data in a calculated column. Something to play with if someone has too much free time :) Or maybe there's someone out there who already achieved that and could share their experience.

Hi Konrad,can you elaborate on which other known limitations there are?One obvious one would be that it may take (a little) time until an updated workflow instance has been processed in the queue.Item lists are a second one.A third one would (probably) be, that we can only fields of the current workflow instance.Thanks for providing the link to the query functions. I will have to take a look at those. :)Best regards,Daniel

Lack of item lists is one of the known limitations of SearchIndex reports.I've tried to fetch it using a calculated column (the Solr field name is "SUBS__{id}_SubElems"), but I failed because of the way it is stored in a collection. I'm not sure whether this is possible at all in the current state.

Automatically Add file to attachments on Start

2025-03-14T13:08:20+01:00

Hi Jan,if it's ok that the workflow instance is already is created you could automatically start a path transition using a query parameter:/db/23/app/51/start/wf/84/dt/92/form?def_comid=1&PATH_ID=292This would be the only option I can up with, if if this is a document which should be edited. The problem is also, that we can't use a GUID. Therefore, we would need to define the ID of the production environment in the dev environment when configuring this.Otherwise you could simply add a link to the preview of the document or display the document as a related attachment without adding it directly to this instance.Best regards,Daniel

Calcuted Columns in Solr Reports

2025-03-14T11:18:14+01:00

Hi Raluca,Calculated columns are added to SearchIndex reports the same way they're added to SQL-based reports, but the difference is that you have to use Solr syntax.First, you have to know what are the names of fields in Solr collections. You can check it by querying BPS_Elements collection in Solr admin page (example: instance creation date in SQL is stored in "WFD_TSInsert" column, but in Solr it is stored in "TS_Insert" field. There are other differences).Then, to compare values and use conditions, you have to use Solr functions based on https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/function-queries.htmlI've attached screenshots with an example of an indicator that shows if an instance was modified in 2025.It calculates a difference between TS_Insert and 2025-01-01 00:00:00, checks if the value is less or equal to 0, then returns "2" if statement if true or "0" if it's not.It is a silly example to show the syntax.Kind regards

Migration of SharePoint List data to Webcon

2025-03-12T22:23:58+01:00

Hi Rohit,as far as I know, there's no free tool for this. The RestAPI importer from WEBCON will require an Aspose licensehttps://github.com/WEBCON-BPS/RestApi-DataImporter/tree/mainQuote from the readme:Additionally, the application uses an external Aspose.Cells component, an appropriate license will also be required for it work correctly. Without a license, we will be able to use the demo version. The license file must be added to the project, then set the build action in its properties as embedded resource. Such a license must be assigned in the constructor of the ImporterMainForm class, an example in comments is already found there.Maybe you can ask your partner whether they can provide a tool. I've build one based on PowerShell and an Excel file for creating workflow instances with item list and attachments. Unfortunately, I can't share this as it was created during my work. It "just" uses the options I listed above.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Tomasz,I translated your text using deepl.comAs far as I can understand the translation you are using a REST API action with a business rule.You are right this was changed. The result of the business rule is encoded and therefore causing problems. We can work around with this by adding a technical field and assigning the business rule value to a field. If you reference the field you have the option to choose the "raw" value.If you can please open a ticket because this workaround does not work if business rules are used in data sources. Maybe it will help that WEBCON will be considering changings this.

Hi,Is it possible to suppress the confirmation (positive) email from MailApproval? Or to design the automatically generated email?Background:In my opinion, this information is partly misleading to the user.e.g.:Betreff: RE: Mail genehmigt: ablehnen (final) (english: Subject: RE: Mail approved: reject (final))=> The user is right to ask: My rejection has now been approved? What?=> Would be better: RE: Aktion erfolgreich: ablehnen (final) (english: RE: Action successful: reject (final))Mail-Text:"Path transition operation completed successfully. Folgender Pfad wurde ausgewhlt:genehmigen (final).Status: Dokument zum nchsten Schritt "=> Mixture of English and German....Overall, I think it would be better if MailApproval only sent an information to the user if something didn't work.

2025-03-06T14:26:26+01:00

Hello Michal,You can use the WEBCON installer to start the service again. By using the "Tools for application management" and then selecting the Service Status Option where you can trigger a service start.The whole license server thing seems a bit misleading (it's more of a symptom of the general issue), as it's usually the workflow service which needs your attention. And can be started by the described method.

Photos in e-mails

2025-03-06T14:14:24+01:00

Hi DamianWe implemented an SDK action to extract data sent as email from a web form. To parse the email we are using AngleSharp, but you can also use other tools like the HtmlAgilityPack. In our case, we are collecting personal data that are structured in a html table, which turned out to be quite easy.We start the workflow via hotmailbox and store the content of the email in a rich text field and then parse it from there.

License download error

2025-03-06T14:11:20+01:00

Hi, it happens more and more often that we get an error "License download error. Check that the license service is enabled." From what I understand, the license service is in the background, do you know what the process is called and what to do in such a case. At the moment, it saves the server restart, but it's not an elegant solution.

2025-03-06T08:26:26+01:00

Hi Konrad,do you know someone who knows how to debug JavaScript? Then you may get a hint what's wrong.I had the same error when upgrading from 2022 to 2025 in one application yesterday. In my case the 'model' of the 'comment' object could not be read. This was enough to identify that the issue was caused, because the comment field itself was hidden in the field matrix but the path required a comment.Your case will probably be different.Best regards,Daniel

Webcon LogCleaner spams sql server

2025-03-03T10:47:51+01:00

Hi Almin,I have no idea what the LogCleaner actually does and which table it cleans.If you know how to trigger it, you could run the SQL Profiler and take a look at the executed SQL statements to get the one which is failing.I have only one idea, but I doubt, that it would be related to the error. While date time fields are stored in columns of type date time, the item list date time fields are stored as nvarchar.In theory you could have deleted a column in the past and a now a new date time column was added. When the system is converting the values of this column to datetime it fails for all the old instances because of some invalid data.But I don't see how this could be related to the issue.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Zakhariy,if the users close the tab /navigate away the checkout should be released after 1 minute.

Row coloring based on calculated column does not work

2025-02-21T12:08:53+01:00

Hi Micha,I did some testing and it looks like it is possible to set row coloring based on a calculated column, but it requires a bit of a workaround.So in short, the row coloring is working without any issues for all the types of calculated columns (text, number etc.) except for the "Lamp" type.How to make it work for lamp:-change the configuration of the calculated column - from type Lamp to type Number-configure your row coloring based on this calculated column and save the changes-go back and change the type of the calculated column from Number back to LampIt should work just fine.We'll make sure this is fixed in one of the next releases.CheersDawid

A better solution would be to embed the constant/variable in a business rule and associate the template with that rule. Rules can be added in the same way as fields. The advantage of this solution is that you do not need to create technical fields.

2025-02-18T10:28:01+01:00

Hi,I am not sure if i understood right.The first idea:You need the action start subworkflow sql. Each row return from sql from the action will start an instance in the process. In the process you can create an action for to send the instance number/instance id in your sistem. You will update the table with instance number like ("update TableSql set columnId='current instance number' where uniqValue='current uniq value from instance' )The steps for to create this process are:1. Create de process and global timeout action with start subworflow sql2. Config the action start subworkflow sql with : select columns from yourTable left join WfElements on yourTable.uniqValue=WfElements.uniqValue where yourTable.uniqValue is null.3. Create sql for identify if exista at less one record for insert and put the proporties action in the tab execute condition.4. In the process on the save path create an action for update your table cu instnace id.ThanksRaluca

Hi,I would create this service workflow with these steps:- Initialization, save draft to start the instance, continue to read the changes.- Changes read- Create workflows- CompletedThe first three steps have a Timeout/Timer which triggers after 1 minute to move the workflow to the next step.Depending on the number of workflows it maybe necessary to create a loop Create workflows -> Start workflows -> All workflows started -> Yes -> CompletedCreate workflows -> Start workflows -> All workflows started -> No -> Create workflowsThe path to read the changes would get the difference and store those changes in an item list. This item list will then be used to start the workflows.This way you can test the process manually and have a transparent overview, where something goes wrong.The question is how to identify the differences. - Is there a timestamp in the table?- Are only new rows added`?Depending on it, you could check which was the last record in the previous workflow instance and add only the new ones in the current one.Best regards,Daniel

Subject: Assistance Needed Missing "Default Sorting" in Reports After UpgradeHi everyone,We hope someone can assist us.We recently upgraded from 2023.1.3.29 to 2024.1.1.187 and noticed that the integrated reports ondashboards no longer retain their default sorting.When we attempted to adjust the sorting, we realized that the corresponding menu option is missing_(including normal reports opened over the menue)_.As a temporary workaround, we are replacing the dashboard reports with the original reports(sorting implemented before upgrade). Although the menu is not visible, the saved condition stillfunctions. However, this is only a short-term fix.We checked the documentation (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Portal/Reports/#id_7), but it appears to contain outdated screenshots. In version 2024.1.1.187, the tab previously labeled "Columns available in reports" is now named "Dataset Columns" under the "Columns" section.As shown in the attached image, the "Default sorting" section is missing. It may have been relocated,but we need your guidance to find it.We have successfully managed all other changes so far and will share our solutions by the end ofnext week (maybe finding some more changes with going live on monday).Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,Bjoern & Lena

So the field values are repeated for each row in the item list for a given report.- You want to create the sum of fields from another item list in another workflow instance- This workflow instance is identified by the column Det_Att23 in the report and the WFD_AttChoose55 field in the workflow instance.If this is true, I have no idea, how you could make this work.This is a part from the executed SQL statementFROM V_WFElements as wfelems /*TASKDETAILSJOIN*/ .... LEFT JOIN WFElementDetails onThere's no alias for the WFElementDetails which in turn will means that the Det_Att23 will be ambigues. @CezaryDo we have the option to select constants in reports? I did create an SQL function to return the value of a constant by it's Guid in the past to go around this problem.I've also added the user voice to extend the V_WfElements with the GUIDs because of the issue you mentioned. Using Guids in calculated columns means additional work on the SQL server.https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/4134?messageid=4134Best regards,Daniel

Comment required depending on a Business rule

2025-02-12T21:19:16+01:00

Hi,there's also an alternative using the "Additional path validation form rule".In my example I created field which defines, whether a comment is necessary or not. If this is true another form rule is executed. This form rule returns true or false depending on the value in the comment field. This form rule is of type JavaScript:return document.querySelector("textarea[aria-label='Comments'").value ==''If this returns false, an alert is displayed. Remarks:a) This solution will only work, if the comment is visible.b) The part "textarea[aria-label='Comments'" may be different in your version. I'm using WEBCON BPS 2025c) The false and true in the "Additional path validation form rule" will prevent or allow the path transition. In your case you don't have the "Comment required" field but you could create one and set it to "technical" field. During the page load you could execute a form rule which sets the value of this field using a business rule.Best regards,Daniel

calculated column for a report with a list of items

2025-02-12T15:50:09+01:00

Hi!I'm not into the topic but one think paid my attention. Of course, after every import you should change ID's on target enviroment but you can use process const. or global const. In different way, maybe better will be use column from DB based on GUID ex. DTYPE_GUID? Guid's are the same in every environment in the process so maybe it will help with changing ID's everytime.

Comment required depending on a Business rule

2025-02-12T09:22:06+01:00

Hi,I am not sure if it's possible using the regular comment section.However, you can emulate its behavior using a multi-line text field.Just enable the append mode in the field configuration.By then adding a business rule to the requiredness restriction of the field you'll be able to toggle it.In the example from my screenshot, I just check if any rows in the example table have the value true for a specific column, based on that rule the text field becomes mandatory.

calculated column for a report with a list of items

2025-02-11T22:09:56+01:00

Hi, is the provided SQL a part of an existing statement which is working? At the moment this doesn't make any sense. Regardless of my leg of understanding you could:- Activate the diagnostic mode, load the report and check the executed SQL statement. This way, you can copy the statement and verify what's not working. You will need to add some line breaks to make it readable, but it will be worth it.- Create data table mimicking the report and create the calculated column there. Ones the column is working you can copy it over to the report. You may need to amend /add the table alias which are used in report. You can get them from the diagnostic log.That being said:If you have multiple environments dev/test/prod in place, you will need to use the ids of the production environment. Since we can't use variables in the report you need you would need to correct it in the production environment after each transport of the application.WFD_DTYPEID = '212'and DE.DET_WFCONID = '5788'and DE.DET_IsDeleted = 0and WFD_STPID '935'Depending on what you want to achieve it may be an option, that the completed subworkflow causes an update of the parent workflow which than stores the value you want to display in the item list.Best regards,Daniel

Problem solved thanks to the professional support from WEBCON.We encountered a unique situation where we performed a license change on the 2023 version (includes making the new license valid until version 2025).After upgrading to 2024, the above mentioned error occurred.The simple solution for our specific case: reapply the license online (left upper corner -> License management Download Licenses).After that restart the services as asked for. Now everything runs smoothly.Thanks to WEBCON for the quick and effective support!

Can't execute sql queries with linked servers - "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is no trusted."

2025-02-10T09:29:06+01:00

Hi,I'd like to build SQL query that uses 'current BPS database' and at the same time uses linked server that exists on that server. So I want to do sth like that:Select *from BPS_Content.dbo.WFElements t1left join [my_linked_server].[database].[schema].[my_table] t2on t1.id = t2.idUnfortunately it doesnt work. I got an error in Webcon Studio "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is no trusted.".Then I tried to execute this query directly from database. So I wrote the following:Execute as user = 'BPS_SQLUser';and the same query.It also didnt work. The same error.When I execute this query from my user then it works.The problem is that BPS_SQLUser doesnt have access to linked servers. I tried to give it sysadmin privileges but it didnt work.The only solution that worked was to update GlobalParameters table and put NULL in SQLLowPrivilegeUser. Then Webcon connects to its database with 'dbo' user. This user has access to linked servers.I'd like to ask whether is there any better solution and why BPS_SQLUser doesn't see linked servers.Will be grateful for your help.

How to migrate webcon to new servers

2025-02-07T17:19:42+01:00

Hi,I need to move webcon databases and rename them in the process. Then I have to install webcon on new server and connect it to the renamed databases. I can't install new instance, because the databases have to be pre-created by another team. The setup account does not have the permissions to do that.Anyway I managed to solve the SearchServer issue. As it turns out you when doing this sort of stuff you have to move to the same version of webcon... If you use newer version it tries to connect to the old search server version to migrate stuff and the old server does not exist...(I tried to install the search server manually, but that didn't work.)Thanks for the info and for the links :)Filip

Hi Filip,could you elaborate on what you actually did?- How is your farm setup, multiple servers, single server with WEBCON and SOLR and one database server?- Any connection to old server?- What do you mean with "both databases"?If I would move a database to a new environment which consists of a single application server and database server I would:- Do a complete WEBCON installation on the new server.- Deactivate the license in the old environment- Activate the license in the new environment.- Reconfigure the global settings on the new environment- Copy the existing content/attachment/archive databases to the new database server- Replace the new content database in the ContentDatabase table of the config database with the old database nameThis assumes that the old and new environment uses the same environment "Type" for example production.You can also read up on it here:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/changing-the-name-of-the-application-server-vs-webcon-bps/528/3https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/checklist-for-copying-artifacts-to-another-config-databasehttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/copy-a-databaseBest regards,Daniel

REST datasource with variable instead of unique formfield mapping?

Thanks for the answers.I have solved it (for now) with a global business rule and a rest-datasource(see screenshots). Its working...however that is more then a workaround ;-)Behind this particular REST service is a big database containing about 90.000 records. I cannot get ALL and filter them in the form... I would need a way to pass parameters to a REST data-sourceThen I could use it as datasource like "REST GET ACCOUNTS(argument1 = customerid.value, argument2 = abcd)" ...as an example ;-)I really hope WEBCON implements such a functionallity.We are new to WEBCON, so maybe there are other ways to work with big third party databases behind REST apis.Thanks Ernst

Hi everyone,I will try to explain the behavior as good as I can but I don't have any explanation for it. Maybe someone else does and has an idea how I can track the 'culprit' / improve the behavior.We have an item list with related documents. This item list has a data row column which outputs an HTML fragment for the current row to trigger a rename function.select ' 'AS RenameThe only variable is the user language, there's no FROM, so it should be executed really fast.For whatever reason so the diagnostic log shows that the execution for one row took 87ms seconds while another took 4279ms. I don't have the slightest idea, why this happened, how I can track this or how to prevent it.My best guess is, that a bulk of SQL commands needed to be executed and this one was in a queue which execution was delayed.The version is WEBCON BPS 2023.1.2.99.Best regards,Daniel

Single-use access licenses require the server to have constant, stable communication with the WEBCON activation server. The number of used tokens must be periodically updated on the activation server. In the event of a longer lack of contact with the activation server, a message will appear as in the attached image.Another reason for this message to appear is a discrepancy in the data regarding used tokens between the activation server and the local database (I do not suppose that this is the case).Please send the activation data (login and/or the name of the license service for the machine on which the problem occurs) to the email - we will find a solution to the problem.Best RegardsPawel Jawien

Hi,Your requirements are indeed complex, but certainly not impossible to implement in WEBCON BPS!In the current version, calling custom functions without workarounds is not possible. However, there's good newsan upcoming release may introduce new features that will allow you to trigger actions directly from the form.From a JavaScript perspective, you can utilize the "rule to run on open form" and the "beforeprint" event to detect when a user opens or attempts to print a page. Once our future API is available, this will enable you to achieve the desired functionality.Stay tuned for the release of version 2025R2!Best regards,ukasz

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project using Webcon BPS and I'm trying to track specific user activities within the platform in order to comply with GDPR. Specifically, I need to log every time a user:1.Opens an instance or document in order to access data, regardless if they've seen it before or not2.Prints a documentHas anyone tackled a similar requirement before? If so, I would really appreciate any advice, ideas, or suggestions on how to approach this. Any pointers on how to capture and log these actions would be incredibly helpful. I was thinking of potentially tracking the internal SQL queries but I need to know which user accessed the data specifically and I'm not sure I can engineer a solution that tracks background queries anyway. And this does not solve the issue of users accessing cached information on their browser.Thank you in advance for your time and insights!

alternative smtp-server

2025-01-29T11:36:48+01:00

As for the functionality of WEBCON BPS notifications, yes - you can use any SMTP service. However, the functionalities of HotMailbox, Mailapproval, and Exchange actions require an Exchange server. (Another server can potentially support EWS services (e.g., Zimbra), but the WEBCON BPS manufacturer does not support these.)

Public forms in 2025

2025-01-29T10:46:44+01:00

Hi! The configuration method changed a bit in the newest Public Forms version. Configuration via appsetings file is now deprecated and it won't work. It's necessary to add IIS environment variables. Please review the attached screenshot and the README section on the website: https://github.com/WEBCON-BPS/public-forms We also plan to release a Knowledge Base article on it next month.

REST datasource with variable instead of unique formfield mapping?

2025-01-23T11:14:05+01:00

I want to use a REST DataSource to get customer information (ie name) via customer number. I have a form with a customer number field. I have a REST DataSource "REST GET CUSTOMER DATA" (..../getKundenData?customernumber=CUSTOMERNUMBER.Standard) which returns a json with all relevant customer data.I used a business rule to get the value from the REST datasource and a form rule (on value change) to set the customer name (returned from the businessrule).This is working fine.The problem is the mapping customernumber=CUSTOMERNUMBER.Standard (MyApp.MyProcess.MyForm.....) in the REST data source. Because of that I can use this REST DataSource only in the context of ONE workflow/form.Is there a way to pass a value to a REST datasource? Like .../getKundenData?customernumber=variable?Or are there better ways?ThanksErnst

OData in Webcon REST API

2025-01-22T12:27:37+01:00

Hi everyone,Ive been working with the Webcon API, but I've found that the standard API functionality is not sufficient for all my needs (mainly for filtering items and searching). However, I came across the possibility of using the OData standard in Webcon, which seems like a promising alternative. I recently read a post on the community forum about OData support in Webcon, which you can find here: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/odata-format-in-webcon-bps/346/3 .From what I understand, OData is still only available in the beta version of the REST API. I am wondering whether this functionality is being actively developed and supported, or if it is a feature that will remain in the beta phase. Apart from the mentioned post, I couldnt find much additional information about OData in the Webcon REST API.Does anyone here have more insights into the current status or future plans for OData in Webcon's REST API?Best regards,Daniel Kucharski

[SOLVED] How to build table with history - who finished the step

2025-01-21T16:11:58+01:00

Hi Pawe,at first i'd recommend using the default save button at the menu bar - it keeps the history more tidy, and doesn't trigger step leave / step enter.Also, when assigning a task for multiple users, they all should just press some 'Approve'/'Disapprove' button, rather than 'Save'.Save doesn't mean it's approved.From my perspective those adjustments should make filtering out what is important easier. If approval is done only by 'Approve' path, then just filter out those paths.Save seems like multi-purpose path at this moment and this leads to confusion both for users and future developers/maintainers.For unfinished tasks you could join WFHistoryElements with WFElementTasks (it's a view), on WFH_ID = WFT_WFHID, this will give you also tasks which are assigned, but not finished.

Hi Ondrey,if you don't need the result of the stop watch it's really easy.1. Create an HTML field2. Open the advanced configuration and use an existing stop watch from the webWhenever the field will be displayed the iFrame will be loaded again and the stop watch will be started.If you need the result and don't want to dive into the FormFieldExtensionJS, it will get ugly regardless of the . I refrain from using the FormFieldExtensionsJS myself and do quite a lot of customization with the HTML fields alone. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hello Lukasz, Daniel, Bartosz, Thank you for your fast responses and broadening the horizon of what I dont know about WEBCON yet .First two replies will require kind of quantum leap in my knowledge as I am more less citizen developer. So one day maybe... Third reply may be feasible for me if there are some additional information (ideally with screenshots from implementation).Daniel asked about use case. It resembles planning poker. All is happening on meeting. There is a central screen with (re)voting results, where I would like to have stopwatch as form fields. The meeting has packed agenda and some discussions are lasting too long. With ticking time, seen by everybody, we can stick more on schedule. The best would be to have Stopwatch (or timer) blended to the WEBCON screens. Nevertheless, there are other software possibilities (not as nice).Thank you one more time.Ondrej

Side-bar menu color: v 2025

2025-01-20T13:20:43+01:00

Hi,On the 2023 Webcon, we can customize the color of the left sidebar of the portal page using: the Sidebar menu in Theme customization.In 2025 we have the same Theme customization attribute but it doesn't do anything. Is it a bug? I know that it is possible to use CSS.When using CSS it changes the color of the left bar but pressing buttons resets the button color to default(white).Has somebody tried to change the default grey color of the left navigation bar? My CSS:.navigation { background-color: #f2df37; }.navigation-item-base__wrapper{ background-color: #f2df37; }.custom-scrollbar { background-color: #f2df37; }.navigation__header-wrapper { background-color: #f2df37; }

Hi,1. You have to create a tech field where you will save a time state2. You have to create a js rulelet timer;let seconds = 0;function start() { seconds = 0; timer = setInterval(updateTimer, 1000);}function stop() { clearInterval(timer);}function reset() { seconds = 0; updateTimer();}function updateTimer() { const currentValue = GetValue("#{FLD:1094}#"); const newValue = currentValue + seconds; SetValue("#{FLD:1094}#", seconds);}3. Implement logic to manage stopwatch for example check if element exists or on page load start count or when a field change you can execute start / stop / resetif you have any question let me know

Hi Ondrej,I agree with Lukasz, that you will need the FormFieldExtensionJS.The main reason for this is that it needs to stop when the form field is no longer visible.It would be possible to do so with vanilla JS but it would be a pain to implement.Here's another example:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/password-fieldMaybe you can share what you want to achieve with this because I see some issues. Like:- The user goes to lunch- Navigates away without saving- Is displayed in preview window- Get's checked out for some reason- Substitutions?I'm wondering where you are aware of these and if these may be an alternative.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Step_Statshttps://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Action/PerformanceIndicators/Best regards,Daniel

Stopwatch JavaScript, HTML, CSS

2025-01-19T16:58:30+01:00

Hello community.In my application, I would like to have stopwatch. Stopwatch should starts and run when the form field with stopwatch is visible and stop when not visible. It should be visible through few steps. When not visible, it will reset. When visible again, it will start again. Alternatively, JavaScript, HTML, CSS stopwatch with buttons (Start, Reset are enough).Are these requirements feasible to be done in WEBCON?I know, in WEBCON:There are an HTML form fields, even supporting some JavaScript functions.There are a Form Rules with JavaScript modeBut, where to put what (JS, HTML, CSS) and how to combine/address/relate parts to functional stopwatches?

Hi Krystian, did you test, whether any new banners would be picked up?I did:- Made a copy of an existing one, there's on additional file- Replaced Lagoon by Saphira- Reset all caches- Executed an iis reset- Restarted the workflow service- Restart the Designer StudioAs far as I can tell the Designer Studio doesn't show any changes, while the replaced file is rendered in the portal.While I would be careful to add new files to the WEBCON folders, I would not change existing files. If you are going to do it, add a note to your "upgrade" check list to replace the file each time.Best regards,Daniel

Leding zero in numeric field

2025-01-16T10:54:39+01:00

Hi,if you have your field is of type floating-point number instead of integer, you can use the advanced configuration to display a leading zero in the UI using the prefix.It's important to note, that the suffix will only be displayed in the UI. If you would copy the value to another field, the prefix won't be part of it.If you are using an integer value currently, you would need to change the type anyway. You could achieve this by:- creating a workflow which copies the field value from the old to the new field. - writing to the database which is not supportedYou could read through this and decide, whether you want to use this.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/migrating-field-values#copy-values-to-a-global-fieldBest regards,Daniel

Rename tab or field label in form rule

2025-01-15T21:44:18+01:00

Hi Nik,my first thought was "Why?" but ok. I agree that relying on HTML markup isn't a good practice and it will break at some point. This could be in a month, or two years. Nevertheless, these questions often lead to new ideas and I think I had one which may cause less issues. Especially if you are using form rules to hide/show elements.It would need some more testing, but it seems that we can achieve this with pure CSS. :)1. Define an empty translation2. HTML field with the CSS which defines the label /content for the tab.WEBCON BPS 2023: div[aria-controls="Tab_384"] span::before {content: "Crazy tab name ";}WEBCON BPS 2025: div[aria-controls="Tab_8029"] .tab__nav__text::before {content: "Crazy tab name ";}We could also use a business rule to define the tab name. That's crazy. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi BjrnCould it be, that your files are in an attachment database? This would explain, why you only have metadata but almost no files. These 20 files are likely from a process where you did not change the attachment database.Btw, by the look of the database name, Karol is retrieving the files from an attachment database.

Automation/Rules on Attachment changes

2025-01-10T13:35:09+01:00

Hi, in the described scenario, if you'd like to avoid overwriting the form, here's what comes to mind: 1. Collect data about the most recent attachment updates. 2. Use automation in a technical workflow to send added/updated documents to OneDrive leveraging a "for each" loop in the automation will be helpful. 3. Save information on the timestamp or state from which the next update should be tracked. 4. Trigger this action at a defined interval. Alternatively, you can handle this on save or on step completion by using an action to update the attachment in OneDrive. In the execution condition, compare whether the version of the attachment has changed, and if so, trigger the send.

2025-01-10T10:53:14+01:00

Marcin, you can create an SQL query that retrieves data using WFD_ID and includes the details of the item list you want to update and using a REST API, you could integrate it into an automation process by specifying the WFD_ID from the source, the item list, and the automation action. This would allow the automation to update the data for all the records returned more than one in one actionAs far as I know, its not possible to create an automation for a recurring action

Substitutions for one day longer than expected?

Hi,did you check what you have in the table [Substitutions] after creating the substitution (columns: SUB_SubstitutionStart, SUB_Substitutionend).And maybe it's stupid but you can try adding the substitution to the hour, e.g. 22:59:59 and see how it is created then.

Creating BPS Group - BPS ID

2025-01-09T11:32:42+01:00

HI Lukasz,technically there's no much difference between a user and a group. Each one is stored in the same table and uniquely identified by the "BPS id". Therefore the id of the group has to follow the restrictions which are applied for user BPS ids. This is the reason you get the error with the UPN format.I would choose a different domain from your actual one. 1) It makes it easy to differentiate the WEBCON groups from others.2) You won't run into a conflict with active directory users or groups.I always use :group@bps.localBest regards,Daniel

Substitutions for one day longer than expected?

2025-01-09T11:25:25+01:00

Hi everyone,There is something that has been a thorn in my Webcon enviroment for some time. I thought that new version will solve this but unfortunatelly didn't. The problem is that in my leave of absence workflow I have an action that sets up substitution for the time a person is out of office. When I run a test (see left side of the enclosed screen) the SQL query shows correct dates of substitution (the same as te person's absence). When the acton runs the substitution is set to last for one day longer than expected. Why is this like that? Where am I doing something wrong?

Creating BPS Group - BPS ID

2025-01-09T11:22:23+01:00

Hi,I want to add a new BPS Group that will collect members of a given team. I don't have this group in active directory. I don't fully understand what is the meaning of Group identifier (BPS ID). It has to be in the UPN Format. In the knowledge base there is an article where the BPS ID is [some name]@webcon.pl. My questions are as follows:1) Could I also use "@webcon.pl"? Or should I rather use my domain name? 2) Is this group only within Webcon or will it be visible in Active Directory of my organization?3) Is it only an identifier, or does the domain name matter in some way? In other words, can I fill the BPS ID with [my name]@BPSGroups.com or any other random domain name?Will be grateful for your help.

Autocomplete field error even when deactivating validation

Autocomplete field error even when deactivating validation

2025-01-08T22:21:34+01:00

The presented error is caused by filling the dropdown field with only the value "Auto." In WEBCON, dropdown fields require the format ID#Name. For example, if the default value finds more than one name for the word "AUTO," it cannot match the value. Try passing not just "AUTO" but the format ID#Name, meaning you should also match the ID for the word "AUTO" as used in this dictionary.

Add an attachment within PowerShell action

2025-01-08T18:43:56+01:00

Hi Maksymilian,fetching documents in PowerShell is not the problem. The problem is that WebCon locks the instance during action execution. So, you cannot add an attachment to the current instance with WebCon REST Api until all actions are not finished. You must store the document elsewhere (outside of the current instance) temporary and move the document to the current instance with an additional action add attachment.We have a on-prem installation of WebCon. Technical user doesnt fit for us because-All users are MFA enabled in Entra. Theres no exception :(-We dont synchronize local service user to Entra.-Created by/Modified by should be the user who was logged in in WebCon-It is not sate of the art people should be authorized in SharePoint and not a technical userMy hope is that the guys at WebCon development will implement SSO in some near future version. Like they can fetch tokens for REST API calls against graph/ms365, it should be simple to do it also for SharePoint Client function call and I can get rid of my PowerShell actions.Let's stay optimistic :)Cheers,Balint

I'd add here that in previous versions this action didn't exist.You could use a Add Attachment action, and inside an SQL query it should go like this if i remember correctly:SELECT CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), 'hello world' COLLATE Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_SC_UTF8) AS Content, 'file1.txt' AS FileName;in case of older compatibility level / sql server version change varbinary(max) to image.

Jarosaw's solution will work, it's really creative one, but i'd rather suggest solving it with and SDK, no need to store data on external hard drive, and additional custom table/database.If you can create PowerShell script which will fetch the data from sharepoint, i believe you will be able to write such function in any programming language, especially with AI tools around.This won't introduce additional points for documentation, and points of failure. I'd have to ask - why using technical user in sharepoint is not ok, but having 'Webcon Service' user in Webcon is not a problem? (it exists in each webcon instance).

Potentially misconfigured "Clear item list" action

2025-01-07T17:39:47+01:00

Hi everyone,we just figured out that there was a time, when the "Clear item list" action saved a faulty configuration. The issue is, that the id of the selected item list was saved (1) without using the variable syntax (2).In turn the integer value wasn't replaced during the import and the execution of the action will fail, if the integer values are not the same on both systems. In the worst case the value does exist for item list on both systems but for different ones.You can use the below query to get all actions which have a faulty configuration.Best regards,Daniel SELECT TOP (1000) ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( order by actionDefinition.ACT_ID asc) as RowNumber, actionProcess.DEF_Name as ActionProcess, automationProcess.DEF_Name as AutomationProcess, WF_Name, STP_Name, PATH_Name, PLU_Name, actionDefinitionAutomation.AUTM_Name, actionDefinition.[ACT_ID] , DicActionKinds.EnglishName ActionKind, DicActionTypes.ObjectName ActionType, actionDefinition.[ACT_Name] actionName, actionDefinition.ACT_Description actionDescription, actionDefinition.ACT_Configuration actionConfiguration, templateAction.ACT_ID templateId, templateAction.[ACT_Name] templateName, templateAction.ACT_Description templateDescription, templateAction.ACT_Configuration templateConfigurationFROM [dbo].[WFActions] as actionDefinition left join WFDefinitions as actionProcess on DEF_ID = ACT_DEFID join DicActionKinds on ACT_ActionKindID = DicActionKinds.TypeID join DicActionTypes on ACT_ActionTypeID = DicActionTypes.TypeID left join WorkFlows on ACT_WFID = WF_ID left join WFSteps on ACT_STPID = STP_ID left join WFAvaiblePaths on ACT_PATHID = PATH_ID left join WFPlugIns on PLU_ID = ACT_PLUID left join Automations as actionDefinitionAutomation on actionDefinition.ACT_AUTMID = actionDefinitionAutomation.AUTM_ID left join [WFActions] as templateAction on templateAction.ACT_ID = actionDefinition.ACT_ACTID left join WFDefinitions as automationProcess on actionDefinitionAutomation.AUTM_DEFID = automationProcess.DEF_IDwhere actionDefinition.ACT_Configuration not like '%subelementID>#%'and actionDefinition.ACT_ActionKindID = 102

Add an attachment within PowerShell action

2025-01-04T21:42:36+01:00

Hello,this is a very interesting topic. I realized a similar requirement using the following solution:1. We would need a separate database with small working table (we should not create any database objects in WEBCON databases)2. Attachment upload to WEBCON instance will be realized using 3 actions described below:3. At first a Powershell action should fetch the file from your source (Sharepoint, disk folder etc.) and store it on a temporary disk storage. like temp folder. Next, the file should be copied to your working table as image object.4. Next, WEBCON add attachment action should be used with SQL mode to fetch attachment from your working table.5. At last, next Powershell action should be used to perform clean up on both the disk storage and your working table.It might look complicated, but real synchronous processing can be realized (if you really want to force the user to wait...), but if it takes up to 10 seconds, the user should have enough patience.Alternative solution for bigger files - here we would need.a system step and the the entire operation is asynchronous. You might use OS level task scheduler task - such object can easily be created using Powershell. In such scheduler task you can perform the entire file download and attachment creation. We are limited here with WEBCON system timeout (approx. 2 minutes), so quite a big file can be uploaded. I realized also this kind of integration, but it is obviously much more complicated than the first solution.Hope, it will help you.Best wishes for the New YearJarek

Comparing two versions of documents - generating "redline" versions

2025-01-03T16:36:07+01:00

Dear Maciej,Im also interested in this topic and wanted to share some insights. To achieve this functionality, it seems youll need to install a Word add-in. There are two types of Word add-ins available: the classic and modern versions.The classic version includes the option to compare changes in Word documents. You can find more details about this functionality here: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/AddIns/WordClassic/On the other hand, the modern version of the Word add-in does not offer this feature. More details are available here: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/AddIns/WordModern/For general information about installing and using these add-ins, you can refer to this guide WEBCON Add-Ins Documentation: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/AddIns/I hope this helps a bit here.

Add an attachment within PowerShell action

2025-01-03T08:14:31+01:00

Hello,Im looking for a way to add an attachment within a PowerShell-action. Im having an action Run a PowerShell script where Id like to add an attachment to the currently running instance with the help of a WebCon REST API call. The problem is that while processing actions WebCon locks down the instance and I couldnt find a way to make any changes to the process. I use the parameter forceCheckout=1 that works fine as long a user is editing the form but fails when called from inside a PowerShell action. I see two options there:1)I could do it with an asynchronous PowerShell process and upload the attachment when WebCon has finished processing actions, but this is very error prone and error handling is not possible within the action.2)Create a static technical instance and upload the document there. After that I can move the document to the current instance with the help of an add attachment action.Is there a better solution for adding an attachment within a PowerShell-action?What I really want to do is copy documents to/from SharePoint Online. While there are plenty of SharePoint actions in WebCon, the connection to SharePoint Online with a technical user is inappropriate for us. In my opinion all these operations should be done in the context of the currently logged in user.BTW: We are still on WebCon version 2023.1.2.44.

2025-01-02T11:28:58+01:00

WEBCON does not offer OOTB offline capabilities for multiple reasons, but the most important is the loss of flexibility in modifying applications. However, companies that require offline data synchronization often use third-party solutions and then integrate them with WEBCON. For instance, I've heard about using PowerApps offline capabilities in this scenario.

Returning the form

2024-12-23T16:13:54+01:00

you can achieve this by:- on entry to the manager step set the author's modification permissions- on the "return to author" path set "Set other tasks as cancelled"- other paths should be visible only to the manager

Returning the form

2024-12-23T15:26:18+01:00

Is there any way to offer an option to an user to return its form after he/she sent it to another user?Let's say that we have a following situation:1) User A opens a new form and fill it up.2) After filling it up the user sends this form to his manager for approval.3) After 5 minutes the user realized that he missed one issue. He wants to return this form back to his step.Is there any way to allow the user to return his form by himself instead of asking an administator or the assigned person to do that?

Vacation report problem

2024-12-23T13:43:57+01:00

Hi,We noticed some problems with vacation Gantt chart report with past vacations after update to 2024.The problem occured on 2 versions 2024.1.1.130 and 2024.1.1.161.2024.1.1.130: #1 problem we noticed: We cannot see any past data vacations, mainly on a simpified report (black/white one).#2 problem we noticed: On a advanced report with colors we can see past vacations but not all types.2024.1.1.161:All type of reports (simple/advanced) dont show any past vacations.We updated to 2024.1.1.161 after finding changelog notice, that some problems with vacations report were repaired.Our config:We use a data source with SQL view with past vacations, and all type of data in columns are correct:VAC_UserID VAC_From VAC_To VAC_VACTypeID SQL: select * from [V_Urlopy_Historia]After some tests we've done:After manually entering the sql query on TEST SERVER (2024.1.1.161) that indicates a specific time range, user and vac_type - data appears in the report. BUT ONLY if the query concerns a maximum of 2 days. If the query has more than 2 days - nothing appears in the report. But if data comes from SQL View - there's nothing on the report, even if time range is less than 2 days.

How to change report order in 2025?

2024-12-23T09:30:27+01:00

Hi all,After finally having upgraded from 2023 to 2025 the new UX was quite a surprise. I now find that I am unable to change the order of reports, which worked in 2023 version. Is there a way to arrange the order of reports in 2025?OK, sorry, I just found it. Need to do it in the browser by changing the mode to edit in the application dashboard. This used to be available as dashborad in Designer Studio. Now there is a node called "Dashboards" in Designer Studio, but there is nothing there, which is confusing.

What Are the Key Elements of a Professionally Designed Book?

2024-12-20T11:44:20+01:00

A professionally designed book incorporates essential design elements that enhance readability, visual appeal, and overall user experience. Here are the key components emphasized in an author book design service:Cover Design: The cover is the first impression of the book. A professional design includes eye-catching imagery, typography, and color schemes that align with the book's genre and target audience.Typography: Well-chosen fonts, font sizes, and line spacing improve readability and establish a consistent visual style throughout the book.Page Layout: Proper alignment of text, headings, and white space ensures a clean and organized look. Page numbers, headers, and footers are also essential layout elements.Chapter Design: Distinctive chapter openings with stylized headings, drop caps, and creative layout elements help create a memorable reader experience.Margins and Spacing: Adequate margins, gutters, and line spacing are vital for readability and compatibility with printing guidelines.Image and Illustration Placement: For books with images, illustrations, or graphics, professional design ensures correct placement, resolution, and alignment with the text.Print-Ready Files: Print specifications such as bleed, trim, and margin settings are crucial to meet publishing platform standards like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark.By incorporating these elements, author book design services ensure that books stand out in the marketplace, providing a polished, professional look that captivates readers and enhances the reading experience.

Credentials Error When Modifying Active Directory on Production Server

Is Javascript faster than Formrules?

2024-12-18T21:42:01+01:00

Hi Almin,the graphical form rules are turned into JavaScript. If you take a looks at it you will notice a whole bunch of checks, promises and so on which is mandatory so that it graphical creation / combination wont break anything.If you have a complex form rule, open the expression editor and click on show. Therefore a dedicated JavaScript will be faster than the generic one but less fail safe.I just had to debug an issue which prevented the loading of a form because of some JavaScript bug which didnt happen in all cases.In the end its up to you to decide whether a specific form rule can be replaced with only minor risks that something will break.Before you just go ahead with this, I recommend to activate the diagnostic mode and verify what takes long. Best regards,Daniel

"is in" on a collection did not work :-(

2024-12-18T21:30:42+01:00

Hi Gerd,Im not sure whether the IS IN function works and I currently cant test it myself.An alternative would be to use the count function. Your data source would be passed as a parameter for the function and you could define the filter for the SAP number in the data source. If the count is > 0 then the number does exist.I just this for another case this morning, so Im sure the alternative .Best regards,Daniel

Can you share some example code?

Is Javascript faster than Formrules?

2024-12-18T15:18:42+01:00

Good day webcon community,As the title states, i ask myself if javascript is faster than using formrules.As example i had a formrule what would get the sum of a number column in an item list and compare it to another field. It took sometime for the formrule to procress this, while my javascript that i wrote in a html element did it much faster.I wonder now if i should reimplement certain functions with javascript instead of using formrules to shorten the page loading time. So can someone pls list the benefits/disadvantages of using formrules as opposed to javascript?

[SOLVED] Call REST API from Item List Row

2024-12-13T00:02:45+01:00

HiPerhaps it would be sufficient to set the rest data source to the default value of the item list attribute?This will work only after saving the form, I have no idea how else to trigger the refresh of the default value in the list.You can clear the result after changing the date, currency and after saving again will set for the new values.Regards--Editlate hour and my thinking retarded :)After all, you can add a business rule with this source in the form rule for changing the value in code or date. Then you don't need the default value.

[SOLVED] Call REST API from Item List Row

2024-12-12T22:39:28+01:00

Hey everyone,I have the following challenge. I'm storing travel expenses in an item list. The expenses could be in various currencies. I'd like to get the exchange rate automatically for each row (because the exchange rate might be different for different dates and currencies). The API GET call is: https://kurs.resenje.org/api/v1/currencies//rates/--I have in DET_Att6 and the in DET_Att3. The response is a JSON:{ "code": "USD", "date": "2017-01-04", "date_from": "2017-01-04", "number": 1, "parity": 1, "cash_buy": 117.7702, "cash_sell": 119.4306, "exchange_buy": 118.2446, "exchange_middle": 118.6004, "exchange_sell": 118.9562}What I wanted to do was:- make the user insert all the information in the row;- after that the user has to click the button in the row that would make the API call and save the "exchange_middle" in a column (e.g. DET_Att5)Does anyone has any ideas how to implement that? Or, any ideas to do it differently?Any tips will be much appreciated!Cheers,Martin

There are 2 icons: the first icon for the report and the second icon for the report view. But they are the same (i have only 1 basic view within my report). What can I do with that? Users are asking me which icon should they choose.The attachment shows the same situation based on a demo app.Is there any way to remove section "suggested reports"? Or is there any way to remove system dashboard and create my own? Or perhaps I miss sth and there 2 icons differ in some way.Would be grateful for your help. I am using 2024 version.

Process permissions during application import

2024-12-11T18:01:58+01:00

Hi Wawrzyniec,during the import you can decide whether "security settings will be overwritten". It's somewhere next to the block of the databases. By default this settings value is false.If you have already imported the application, you could change something in the process, so that the import wizard recognizes a change. This way you may be able to select this option.Best regards,Daniel

Creating hidden field and making it visible on History page

You can also configure this field as a technical field, ensuring it is visible only to administrators defined within the process. To view this field in the history, you will need to switch to the administrator view, assuming that troubleshooting is performed by administrators.This setting can be enabled in the Style and Behavior tab. For more details about technical fields, please refer to the attached file.

REST Web service call - application integration action template - based on global constants

2024-12-11T09:05:13+01:00

Hi Mihail,if you are using REST actions you can store the values in a technical field and use this field in the REST action. If we are using fields we have the option to use a Raw mode. YThere's also this user voice.https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5645?messageid=5645The mentioned workaround is only an option for REST actions but not for Rest data sources.I've created a ticket for this because we simply cannot upgrade a customer because of this behavior. We are getting data from the ERP system using the REST API and this encoding prevents us from creating a filter, which is working fine in 2022.Without the filtering the user has to wait 5 or more seconds because all data is returned to WEBCON from the ERP system.Best regards,Daniel

REST Web service call - application integration action template - based on global constants

2024-12-11T08:29:33+01:00

Hi,We try a REST Web service call like this: - global constant for REST Web service base URL, as https://something.com - global constant for REST request suffix, like api/webcon/action - other global constants, for Bearer etc - at app level we configure a template - Invoke REST Web service based on previous defined constantsWe use those global constants just to have separate value sets for DEV / TEST / PROD.The problem: - the REST request suffix gets URI encoded, from api/webcon/action to api%2Fwebcon%2Faction, therefore the API call fails with 404 - if suffix gets a slash upfront, /api/webcon/action, it gets encoded to %2Fapi%2Fwebcon%2Faction, and API call fails with 401The question: is there a way to have that global constant request suffix NOT ENCODED when concatenated with the server base URL? As it is part of the call address, not query params for the call.Thanks,Mihail

Creating hidden field and making it visible on History page

2024-12-11T05:57:43+01:00

Hi,In WebCon we can create a new field and set it's visibility to be hidden on the forms that way the field will act as a variable for storing or passing data. Now the question is, if this field is hidden on the form how can i make it to always be visible on the instance history page? This is for troubleshooting, in a scenario where we want to check the variable values if they're correct.I already tried enabling the "Always show in instance history" setting on the Visibility tab of the field on designer studio but still isn't showing on the history page of a task or instance.Thanks and Regards,

Hi Franek,the question is what you want to achieve with the popup. It may be unnecessary complicated to create an SDK for this.If you really want to go down this road you need to create an SDK of type FormFIeldExtension. Otherwise you won't be able to create any UI.Maybe it would be sufficient to use the "new" alert/confirm messages.Best regards,Daniel

Is the SOLR always indexing this attribute regardless of what visibility is set?https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_Permissions2. I wonder if there is a possibility to disable Solr indexing on a specific process/workflow?

Import error while transfering an application update from DEV to PROD env

2024-12-10T15:32:14+01:00

From what i remember someone on the forum mentioned that updating the GUID's on DEV environments manually in database works, but as usual - it's not recommended to do manual updates, as mistakes can hurt a lot.You should get GUID's from PROD, update them on DEV, then export the app and import hopefully will work :)

Import error while transfering an application update from DEV to PROD env

2024-12-10T15:28:16+01:00

Hello Maksymilian,thank you for your answer. Yes, your suggestion is completely right, I added these two steps separately in DEV and PROD.So if I change the GUIDs in the database it should resolve this problem?Kind regardsZakhariy

Import error while transfering an application update from DEV to PROD env

2024-12-10T15:03:52+01:00

Hi ZakhariyIf i remember correctly - I've had a chance to see similar warnings once but in different context.It happened to me when I tried to remove a step in dev environment, but it had some documents which already visited this step. Notification popped up before i really deleted the steps, and I've just left the step, and set it as invisible, and removed all paths to it - technically step is still there, but it's not being used anymore.Is there any chance those steps were created manually on both environments without Import / Export?If so, they would have different GUID's, and Webcon will try to drop current steps from PROD environment, and create new ones based on the configuration package.

Configuration test error

2024-12-10T13:03:11+01:00

Hi Markus,thank you for your answer. I have an application in PROD that needs to be updated/reworked, so I did some changes manually in DEV and now I want to replace the old app in PROD by importing the updated version from DEV. Earlier I did some changes in DEV and PROD simultaneously but this time the changes are too big.I assume the problem is that I added these two steps separately in DEV and PROD so now there is a conflict between two app versions.Kind regardsZakhariy

Configuration test error

2024-12-10T12:27:22+01:00

Hi ZakhariyIf I understand it right, you are trying to restore to a previous version.The last screenshot sounds as you've added some steps that would now be removed again. But as there are elements in these steps, the steps can not be removed.Try to identify the elements in the steps with id 3090 and 3091 and move them to a step that already existed in the previous version. I'm not sure, but it might be the case, that you can still not do the restore as these steps would be referenced in the history. If it does not help, the only way that is working for sure is to either delete all elements of this process or at least those who went through the steps that need to be removed. Not the way to recommend on Prod environment....

2024-12-09T20:18:25+01:00

Hi Zakhariy,the collapsed "Call stack" node may provide an information which element is causing the issue. If this error also happens during the application export you could start the Designer Studio with the parameter -iedebugC:\Install\DesignerStudio\2022.1.4.155\app-20221.4.155\WEBCON Designer Studio.exe" -portal "https://.....cosmocloud.eu" -iedebugIt will generate a log which may provide additional information. I'm not sure where this log is written to though.Best regards,Daniel

[solved] Copy entire text layer to form field

2024-12-06T14:42:28+01:00

Hi Community,Ive been using WEBCON for more than 2 years now, including the OCR AI engine. I must frankly say that Im more than disappointed with the OCR results. Im aware that it strongly depends on the quality of the incoming documents, but the AI buzzword increased my expectations. Now, with the complaining part done, Im looking for a solution to the issue.The idea is to use an external AI API, like ChatGPT or other providers, to do the mapping. First, I need the text layer to be added to the file, which is done by the ABBYY FineReader engine, and is fairly easy. Next, I would like to save the entire text layer data to the form field and then send it via API to the AI.My issue is how to do the middle part, which is saving the entire text layer data to the form field. Have any of you heard about an SDK able to do that? Or can you help me with some practical examples? Maybe a PowerShell script?

Hello,yesterday, after installing the current Visual Studio 2022 Update v17.12.x (from v17.11.x), the WEBCON BPS SDK Tools no longer started when trying to open them via 'View -> Other Windows -> WEBCON BPS SDK Tools'.I've got an error message (I don't have a screenshot from this message) with a reference to the ActivityLog.xml file within the VS main program folder.On the ActivityLog.xml file I've found a System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException, followed by a System.IO.FileLoadException and a HRESULT exception number.The issue occured with all version of WEBCON BPS SDK Tools available via Visual Studio Extension Manager (2022 to 2025).Long story short, nothing helped, not even repair installation of VS via VS Installer. Only when I downgraded to v17.11, the Tools worked again.Hope someone can confirm this as bug of 17.12 or helps another one to solve this issue.GreetingsMarco

Exposed process automation

2024-12-04T14:48:26+01:00

Hi everyone,Currently i'm working with two applications, where one of them starts a workflow in second one. Let's call them Room Reservation, and Food Order.I can request different types of food orders - breakfast, dinner, snack using Food Order application.I can reserve a hotel room using Room Reservation application.What i want to achieve is add the possibility to request a breakfast when reserving a hotel room.I could do it currently in many ways, but there are two which i'd consider:1. Have a dedicated action inside Room Reservation app, which would call Food Order.2. Have a Global Automation which would be triggered from Room Reservation to call Food Order.From those two i'd preffer 2nd option, as it somehow shows that this action is integrating with another app.It separates the concern a little bit. It's like an interface.I think we are missing something like 'Exposed process automations' - automation declared on process level, but exposed to be used in other applications.This would allow us to create somewhat like interfaces, so applications won't be so tightly tangled up together.It's achievable with Global Automations, but this way it doesn't directly tell us which process is the parent/owner.I'm curious how you would handle this case, and if that separation of concerns is something you'd like to have ;)

Data connection to the attachment database

2024-12-03T20:19:02+01:00

Hi,the easiest way is to create a MSSQL data database connection and configure the Test and Production tabs.This would be sufficient if you execute the query only against the attachment database.In case your query needs information from the content database as well as the attachment database. You would also need a constant with the database. The name of the database would again be defined per environment.The statement would be something alongselect WFD_STPID from WFElements join {ENV:xyz}.dbo.WFDataAttachmentFIles on WFD_ID = ATT_WFDIDwhere ...This won't work with the default connection as the used bps_user account cannot execute a query against another database.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Pawe,it's great that you found a solution yourself and that you updated the post with your findings. Maybe it will help others.I also often wonder whether SQL is low code or not. If a low-code tool would require drag& drop than the way we are creating the SQL statement is not strictly low -codeAt the same time SQL is a "fourth" level programming language, which "hides" a lot of the complexity which of "lower" level programming languages.So you could argue that it is "low code". :)Regardless, without the flexibility of defining SQL statements, WEBCON wouldn't be what it is. :)Best regards,Daniel

wait for sub-workflow with unrelated sub-workflows

Hello,I have a "wait for sub-workflow" step that use advance configuration.In my case the parent instance has a number or related "kids" (instances) and only one unrelated, but all from same workflow.In order to indenfity the unrelated "kid", the parent has the wfd_id saved in a field.The SQL that I use in the advance settings for the "wait for sub-workflow" verify if the total number of "kids" (related or unrelated) is equal to the total number of "kids" that are in a specific step (it is a finish positive type step).When the numbers are equal then the parent instance should move to next step, otherwise it will move on a path that leads to same step (a save path).In my case there are no steps of type "finish (negative)" only "finish (positive)".All is good except the parent is not moving to the next step when all "kids" are moved to a finished (positive) step.When a related "kid" moves to a "finish" step, it triggers the parent to go on "save" path, but the unrelated "kid" does not.Is it possible to make a "wait for sub-workflow" step work correctly when checking for related and unrelated sub-workflows ?Thank you,Regards

Check if COLLATE Polish_CS_AS instead of COLLATE Polish_CS_AI.I also did not catch the problem, but if there is any concernig polish letters you can also use the dbo.RemoveDiactrics function, which removes polish letters. It should be available in your version. It works like this: SELECT @replacedString = @stringToReplace SELECT @replacedString = Replace(@replacedString COLLATE Polish_CS_AS, '','a')ex. SELECT dbo.RemoveDiactrics(Det_Att1) FROM....Alternatively, there is option to add own function to scalar-valued functions on your data base.

Try import .xlsx to another environment but ID of your fields, steps etc. will be different between environment.https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/export-and-import-of-translations-in-webcon-bps/418/4

Update from 2022 to 2023 - check your SQL Command based business Rules using ID fields

2024-11-26T11:50:07+01:00

Hi Daniel, no talk for a while ;)Thanks for your input as always! Your topics are not exactly about what i have experienced in the last days, though. Although I had the same issues numerous times, and I feel what is said in the replies to your posts also. Stuff works in Test, then you sync to prod and some details you didn't think of produce a pile of trash or errors only in certain constellations. And you have to solve this trash by moving workflows around after you fixed the underlying problems. This time it wasn't syncing to Prod - it was the update itself that changed query results due to a change in how clearwfelemID function returns it's result.In our case i am including an ID in the where clause which refers to a choose field value in wfelements table in a different workflow. The query expects to get back an empty string from the ID object of a choose field, if the field is empty. This was the result until Version 2022. With the switch to 2023 the behaviour of this ID object changed, and for empty choose fields it gives back NULL now, which differs from empty string, thus negating my entire where clause. Which results in the exact opposite behaviour i received from the identical statement that worked before, because the whereclause excludes now, what has been included in the previous version. This is a small detail with possibly big impact.It would have been better if the calculated ID fields would have their entire result covered by ISNULL(result,'') for compatibility and same behaviour as in 2022. I would not have the problems I have now if it would have been done that way. And if I was aware this would happen I would have covered these parts of my queries myself, I just wasn't. I will cover this with ISNULL(result,'') now myself in every query this occurs in.As I said, this only refers to choose fields from wfelements. The clearwfelemID from wfelementsdetails/item lists behaves as before and returns empty strings when the field has no value. At least I think so. Because it doesn't query the calculated ID field, because there are none in wfelementdetails table.I am using the queries to distinguish which path the workflow should move along during our invoices approvals. Until we figured out there is a problem the mess was already there, making backup useless, and no other way to fix the result but manually, as until it hits the first decision workflows are already there for 1-2 days. Workflows went the exact opposite path as intended, missing necessary approvals, and requiring manual fixing now in numerous instances, including sending them back to previous involved people. With the number of documents we shoot through the system i will have to correct a few hundred mislead workflows now from the past few days, which is nothing I really enjoy - i still do it as I prefer my colleagues to be happy. I agree on all the things in your topics, I ran into failing queries when i not put IDs in '' also, but this here is different, as it doesnt even throw an error, it just does the exact opposite than in the previous version - and the first people seeing the results are users after a few days. Again, this is not supposed to be moaning, I just intended to warn people to keep them from falling for this like we did. I just repeatedly got the impression that the only thing that is for sure with updates is that you have to pray for stuff like that not happening, and you really really really need to test every single case in every single constellation. I must admit that I am quite traumtized from previous update experiences, and try to avoid them whenever possible. This time we had to, and it was by far the worst of all.Another thing that hit my desk just now: I just got notified that actions deleting attachments caused trouble as well, one of our processes generates an approval report. In order to do so it creates a word file as temporary document to generate the pdf from, that has "TEMP" as category when being created. When the PDF is done next action is to delete all documents from TEMP category, which should only be the docx temp file. The delete action identifies which attachments to delete by category "TEMP" in the action. Instead of deleting the docx it deletes the original invoice - i honestly dont know why, but need to do a workaround now, under pressure. Again, this has worked for years, and all of a sudden it doesn't. I think I remember there was a forum topic by Janni that described that behaviour earlier. But even if you happen to read this you still need to be aware that you yourself are using this scenario, which gets harder with the increase of complexity in your environment.BR, back to fixing :(Chris

Hi,in case you need documentation for the word file creation you can read up on it here:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/webcon-bps-word-modern-how-to-use/328/3I'm using a REST data source to populate an item list in one of my processes.1) The REST data source uses a field value from the instance using the "All form fields" node. This data source can therefore not be used with any other processes. 2) The replace item action uses this data source.Alternatively you can use the REST action and map the response to an item list.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R1/Studio/Action/Integration/Action_RESTWebServiceInvoke#id_2I've used both option in different cases.I have one remark.I'm sometimes running into issues that not the latest information are displayed in the Word document. Most of the time the solution is to update the in the automation of the path and create the document in the OnEntry of the next step.Best regards,Daniel

Update from 2022 to 2023 - check your SQL Command based business Rules using ID fields

2024-11-25T15:55:06+01:00

Hi all,first of all: this is not supposed to be a moaning complaint, just a heads up so other people dont fall for the issue that hit us today.I wanted to share some info regarding the update from 2022 to 2023, as we ran into some very unsatisfying issues with SQL COMMAND business rules that are querying field IDs. It hit us on some neuralgic spots in our main workflow, causing quite some pain right now.If you still have to update to 2023 make sure you test every SQL COMMAND based rule (and datasource) that is using the Field-ID object, the behaviour of the result of clearwfelemID has changed in 2023. In 2022 result of the DB function clearwfelemID (and also the Field-ID-Object in designer) was returning an empty string for fields having no value, so when evaluating a result from a query using this, and the function gave back an empty string in 2022 the behaviour changed to giving back NULL value in 2023. At least that is my impression. This might be connected to the seperate ID columns and a change in the underlying DB function. I think that it even behaves differently when trying to get ID from wfelementdetails and wfelements tables. (specific ID field in wfelements, no specific ID field in wfelementdetails - you can see calculated columns in table wfelements, none in wfelementdetails, because there are no specific colums for choose fields in item lists).Example:I am using the following statement to find out if a check in our invoice approvals is necessary, depending on a template workflow that defines the running order, using an item list to define parameters to jump into steps or not.Query is:if exists (select 1 from wfelements WF_E , wfelementdetails WF_D where WF_E.WFD_ID = WF_D.DET_WFDID and DET_WFCONID = {WFCON:1614} and {DCNCOL_ID:121} = {ST:153} and WF_E.WFD_COMID = {COM_ID} and ({WFCONCOL_ID:1559} = '{I:1559}' or {WFCONCOL_ID:1559} = '') and '{I:68}' = {SYSCOL:WFD_ID}) select 1 else select 0This part: "or {WFCONCOL_ID:1559} = ''" being the problem, as cases in which {WFCONCOL_ID:1559} would gave back an empty string in 2022, now, in 2023 give back NULL, excluding the cases that I was aiming for with that ["or {WFCONCOL_ID:1559} = ''"] part of the whereclause.So whereever you have such scenario you need to change {WFCONCOL_ID:1559} = ''" to "{WFCONCOL_ID:1559} is null" to get proper results. I am not sure if this just didn't occur to me when I was reading the changelogs, but of course I fell for it in several occurences in the system. We went through all data sources when testing, fixed issues that were there, and failed to check the rules.If anyone has questions and concerns, or didn't understand the issue from my textchaos: i will try to explain with examples and screenshots :)Cheers, Chris

Hi Pawe,you could crate a form rule in JavaScript mode which clicks on the button.I used the below logic to refresh all data tables / rows after closing my modal dialog.In 2022 you could use the commented lines without the 122/99 numbers.// Will trigger reload of any data tables. // switched from element.click() to setTimeout(() => { element.click() }, index * 122) and used a "random" interval // executing the refresh button simultaneously breaks the refresh as of BPS 2023 R2 // Needs to be revisited at later version. // $(".reload-button-container").find("button").each((index, element) => { element.click() }); // $(".reload-button-container").find("span").each((index, element) => { element.click() }); $(".reload-button-container").find("button").each((index, element) => { setTimeout(() => { element.click() }, index * 122) }); $(".reload-button-container").find("span").each((index, element) => { setTimeout(() => { element.click() }, index * 99) });Best regards,Daniel

Maybe we can share our ideas regarding a good "default" navigation structure. As Razvan mentioned, we need to define new guidelines now and a joint effort may help everyone.Regarding the navigation grid: There's currently an issue with the translation, old ones may get lost, if you update the translation of a single element.I also like the the option to define multilingual texts on the dashboards. Another workaround we can now scrap. :)

I have to agree that Dashboard level filters are something that i've been really missing (I've some experience with Tableau where it is an obvious feature).It closes the gap to BI system, and allows to achieve more in WEBCON itself which is great for smaller companies not having BI tools.On the UI change offtopic though - I get why many people might be upset about it, especially when applications have a lot of UI customizations.This is why i always try to avoid it as much as possible - it's the platform that decides how things should look, we are paying for not having to deal with it.UI / UX designers should deal with it, and delivering Fluent 2 designed by Microsoft is from my perspective really smart, as it aligns perfectly with Windows 11 UI, and all the Office apps stack which is still default in most corporations.

We identified the issue. In the sample process we added a business rule to log the return value as well as the executed statement. The business rule is a part of the SQL statement.Screenshot:1) Is the advanced condition 2) Is the business ruleIf you take a really close look, you will notice, that the variabel {WFD_ID} of the advanced condition is resolved to the one of the child instance (32381), which was completed. While the business rule uses the actual instance id 32380.This means, that we can't work around this as the advanced setting is executed in the context of the subworkflow which is completing

The STRING_SPLIT function is available in Microsoft SQL Server starting with SQL Server 2016.See what version you have :)The other issue is it seems to me that this condition is redundantAND a.DET_IsDeleted = 0 -- Optionally, to skip deleted rowsIn the table, this column always has a value of 0 , and the rows are simply deleted and not marked as inactive.

2024-11-12T13:21:13+01:00

Hi,thank you for help and direction.I don't know why, but "STRING_SPLIT" is not working ... (did not recognize function ect. .. with declare I have got the same problem ... - maybe not set proper rights in database .. I don't know) but dbo.SplitToTable works :Dany way in my scenario the proper code is:[code="SQL"]SELECT a.DET_WFDID AS 'ID elementu', {DCNCOL_NAME:1174} AS 'Kategoria', ST.Item AS 'Punkt pytania'FROM WFElementDetails aCROSS APPLY dbo.SplitToTable(CAST({DCNCOL:1173} AS NVARCHAR(MAX)), ';') AS STWHERE a.DET_WFDID = {WFD_WFDID}and a.DET_WFCONID={WFCON:3749}AND a.DET_IsDeleted = 0 -- Opcjonalnie, aby pomin usunite wiersze[/Code]and for Attribute in form (not Item list):[code="SQL"]SELECT a.WFD_ID AS 'ID elementu', ST.Item AS 'Punkt normy'FROM WFElements aCROSS APPLY dbo.SplitToTable(CAST('{3654}' AS NVARCHAR(MAX)), ';') AS STWHERE a.WFD_ID = {WFD_ID} [/Code]

Subworkflows settings > Advanced settings bug?

2024-11-12T12:43:04+01:00

Using the SQL tracer, we identified the root of the issue. The queries within the IF statement are returning incorrect results. Specifically, the following query:SELECTCOUNT(*)FROM WFElementsWHERE WFD_WFDID = {WFD_ID}AND WFD_DTYPEID = {DT:494}returns 0 (zero), even when it shouldnt. The same behavior is observed with the other query. This issue persists regardless of whether the queries are executed directly in the advanced settings window or invoked via a business rule. Interestingly, the same business rule works as expected when we log its value during a path transition.

I would also add to this the new possibilities for customizing the menu and the dashboard filters. Although the new way, from a dev perspective, may seem a little more confusing at first, it now allows for a much more intuitive and friendly UI/UX. The new functionalities have added some complexity for the developers but much more flexibility for the customer's needs. It's way easier as a dev to screw it up, but if done properly the customer will end up with better results. We need to revise our internal development processes and practices now, but if we can offer more value, we don't mind.

2024-11-12T11:36:10+01:00

Interesting. We're currently reviewing the 2025 version, but we havent encountered this bug before. Could you possibly break down the issue into smaller steps?At the end, you mentioned using the path with ID 2249, so I assume thats a SQL command for the workflow control step. Maybe you could try comparing two rules to determine the correct path in the control step based on business rules?Rule: Number of all child workflowsRule: Positively finished subworkflowsResult: Choose either path one or path two.I realize this may involve more work, but I believe it will simplify identifying the source of the problem in the incorrect workflow activity.

Special Reports not visible for granted Users

2024-11-11T17:40:13+01:00

Hi,in a standard report, the number of items that a user sees is strictly related to the items to which he or she has permissions, minimally at the read level. You can try, for example, to add a form rule which, after the user selects an item, e.g. from a given group, will automatically redirect him to, for example, the application/report page. This will only be a workaround, because, for example, a more proficient user can, craft a link directly to the history of the item and read the data.Sometimes I use a report/statement which is created using sql grid attribute, in the query you return only the data you want to show. You can create a workflow with 1 step without paths. Remove all elements and leave only the grid, and possibly add attributes with which you could create filters for this 'report'.The tile would lead right to this report.You can also register and update a simple sub-circuit in parallel with the main workflow, containing only the data that people can see. and for this sub-circuit create a report for users, using the standard webcon report.Regards.

I have created a special report for a subdevision, and granted a User for only see the Report.But he does not have the grant to look into the Workflow.It ist our internal Ticket system and only the IT Guys shoud get access to the Workflow and TicketdatasOther Subs only should have their own Report to see how many Tickets are in work. And this overview shoud be only visible to the Sub Manager.So i granted the Process to the User and the Report to the User. He see the Process and see the Report, but when he open the Report, there is no dataset in it.When i granted me personaly to the Report i can see the Datasets. Have i think the wrong way?How can i made that the Manager can see the Datasets only in the Report but coudnt access to the Workflows and to the rest of the datas?GreetsAndreas B.

Long loading time

2024-11-11T11:12:05+01:00

Hello everyone,I have a workflow where I generate an attachment. When I create the attachment on my path the next step is that, a OneDrive connection is established in the next step on entry using the "Start editing a file using OneDrive" action. In my workflow, about 200 people are authorized to use it. From what I see now, this action grants each person read and write permissions. Essentially, it works, but Im experiencing extremely long loading times of up to 30 seconds. Is there any way to configure this differently or improve the setup? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can reduce the loading times? I would be grateful for every single tip.

I'm sorry that I did not get across the reason, why I used "objective".I used this word, not because we are a partner, because we already spend hours to modify the UI because we received numerous negative feedback. So, I used "objective" in quotes from a quantity perspective. That's the only reason I used this word. Even if this my sound strange, but I wouldn't have minded keeping the old "UI" alive. I'm more focused on functionality than "looking pretty". Which I heard complains about more often than not. :)I'm also experimenting with a "full screen" functionality at the moment because I don't like how much space get's lost, which I also voiced using another communication channel. So, yes while I'm definitely biased I also point out flaws or things I don't understand. Quote from my blog post about the change log of 2025:New Workflow designer"Hidden no longer means hidden :( At least in this version, lets cross our fingers."While I agree with some of the mentioned issues, I haven't verified others, at some point a version needs to be released. This is also something everyone of us here propagates when building new processes/applications. Create the first working version, and build up on it afterwards. Off topic:I have the feeling that suggestions from customers are more likely to be heard than those of partners. We don't pay the bill. This is also something I voiced in some discussions and I never got a response. So I may be right. :)

If I have to name one favorite than it's the form rules to determine the visibility of item list row actions, while the phases and actors are just behind.But it's really hard there are many interesting changes.Therefore I put together an "excerpt" which is of course subjective. :)https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/webcon-bps-2025-change-log@MansoftThe first version of anything will always have some flaws, but we need to start somewhere. Of course, you are free to wait until those are addressed, but if you don't want to mention them, then some of those may get unnoticed and they will still be there, when you test it the next time.But I have to comment on this "You've put your fingers in something you shouldn't have changed. You don't change a good horse when it's winning." This is your subjective impression as a WEBCON user. As a partner I can offer a little more "objective" feedback. During the last year we got a regular comments regarding the (out)dated UI. This even forced us to create our own theme, which we can now get rid of / need to review. Yes, existing users will have to get comfortable with the new UI and I agree that a the screen "real estate" has been reduced even further, but a change had to come. At some point you need to switch to a fresh horse, even if it hasn't has any race experience yet. The old one was slowly but steadily dying.

Hi,I doubt that you get here an answer for a "Why" question. I also find it a little bit strange, that the workflow server needs a license since a few versions.That the APIs requires a license is fine for me. I know other vendors who's API would need to be licensed separately and at a way higher prices. In theory, you could replace the frontend using the API and any number of users could use the new frontend while only a single license is consumed. Best regards,Daniel

Problem with SDK addition - A strongly-named assembly is required

2024-11-07T15:35:18+01:00

Good morning,After updating BPS to version 2023.1.3.240, we encountered an issue in our production environment.The problem concerns an SDK add-in that enables sending XML data to MSMQ queues. We needed to update this add-in because, starting with version 2023, the methods were changed to asynchronous. The add-in relies on an external DLL file, Experimental.System.Messaging.To include this DLL in the add-in, I had to sign it with a strong key. According to BPS, everything went smoothlythe package was implemented successfully, and the add-in functions correctly when the user proceeds through the path.However, the issue arises when the document follows a path triggered by a global action.In this case, the add-in generates the following error:Could not load file or assembly 'Experimental.System.Messaging, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. A strongly-named assembly is required. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131044) File name: 'Experimental.System.Messaging, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'It seems that, in this scenario, the add-in does not recognize that the DLL file is signed with a strong key. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Hello EveryoneHave you encountered a case of disappearing buttons at the bottom of the form - responsible for going through the path, recently I noticed problems with the font (bold text that disappear after refreshing the page several times) when displaying in Chrome. Now currently I am struggling with the problem of disappearing buttons (screen) for users.I thought it was related to Chrome versions older than 130.0.6723.92 but the problem also occurs on this version.A funny workaround is [Ctrl] then [-] then the buttons appear.The only solution I see is to go back to Chrome version 129, because I know from experience that Firefox also likes to play tricks (e.g. buttons on the form page not responding to clicking).I would be grateful for suggestions on what else can be done.RegardsMichael

Hi Jan,Did you try advanced filter in picker field? I think that basic filter from the filed above works correctly when there is only one value because it shows 1:1 relation (products category matches values with product groups. Every product group has one product category). Imo, try to change filter to advanced and write filter like "IN" formula in dictionary values collection from database. I think it would be easier than change every value in dictionaries.Anyone has better solution? :)

Hi guys,in some use cases we need to have some formatted text based on an textconstant on a pdf dokument.Therefor we have some logic in the application which places the text in a given multilinefield if a date is changed in a special way.The texttemplate ist displayed correctly in the application and in the word, if the user did not make any changes on the text.But the user has to make changes on the text because its only a template-text which has to be customized.If the text ist changed, the formatting is lost and the text looks terrible. I tried to format some text in the multiline field without a template and some of the formatting also lost after exported to Word.Do you have an idea how we can manage this?Thanks in advanceGerd

Data table "not displayed" WEBCON BPS 2022 because of Edge issue?

2024-11-04T06:44:04+01:00

Hi everyone,I've noticed a strange rendering / displaying of data tables. I attached a screenshot:1) This is how the data table looks like if I refresh the browser2) The mouse overs work fine3) "Dragging" the data table "displays" the table correctly.3) can also be achieved when the data table is in a tab and you switch tabs. The data table is displayed correctly when getting back.We haven't modified the process in months so my best bet is that this has something to do with the current Edge version. Can someone confirm this behavior?WEBCON BPS version: 2022.1.4.155Edge version: 130.0.2849.56Best regards,Daniel

Hi Andreia,I would use the following approach:- A technical workflow which get's executed periodically.- It gets all currently in Transit workflows and stores them in an item list.- Process a batch of x item list rows to check the current state.- If it is delivered move the source workflow to the next step and even update the actual date.If getting the information is complex you could even spawn sub workflows for each item list so that you can implement in each the exact steps to get the details from the carriers.I've successfully used both approaches in the past.Off topic:If I remember correctly you are/have been using Oracle. Could you take a look at this questionhttps://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/6135Best regards,Daniel

I also haven't used it, but if you need an example for the other elements I mentioned you could look at this post:There's a business rule to retrieve the integer id of a business rule/parameter by passing the GUID.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/start-teams-chat-from-user-fields#business-rule-integer-idsThe result is assigned to a JavaScript variable which is defined inside the script element in an HTML field.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/start-teams-chat-from-user-fields#configuration-html-fieldBest regards,Daniel

Reading data from a dictionary

2024-10-31T14:57:02+01:00

Hi,I get the impression that you know what your way with JavaScript. If you bring up the network tab of the developer tools you can see the "internal API call" WEBCON BPS is using to retrieve the data of a report.You can do the same from JS. The "issue" is that the integer values will change per environment. As long as you are executing the JS from a form, you can store this information using an HTML field. Within a script tag you can assign the integer values to variables. You can retrieve this integer values with business rules to which you pass the GUID of the report/view. I haven't used this approach but I needed to get the integer id of a business rule. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi folks,I just found this article (in Polish): https://kb.webcon.pl/integracja-z-aad-przy-pomocy-akcji-wywolania-rest-oraz-microsoft-graph/The article states: "In the case of implementing a system based on AAD authentication, it may be necessary to manage users directly in O365 from within WEBCON BPS. BPS provides dedicated actions for local AD. For AAD, we can use standard actions available in BPS (REST call action) and the Microsoft Graph REST Service."It seems there's an error in the documentation, and as Daniel mentioned, these actions are indeed only for Active Directory. Ill proceed with Microsoft Graph instead.Thank you all for your assistance!

Dictionary and autofill based on that dictionary

2024-10-30T08:34:40+01:00

Hi,you can achieve this by using the default value and filling it from the last document of the same author (last seems better than first because some data may have changed over time).Below is an example query that returns the email from the last document of the same type, same author.The second solution is to make a users dictionary and keep this information there.

Is it possible that users have to fill out personal information only once (first time they are using application) and in case of next usage of application personal information could be filled out automatically based on what they filled out first time. Some data we don't have in our data bases so we can't just connect it to our data base. Kind regards, Jan

Hello Micha,as far as I can tell you are mixing different things.The actions are for managing Active Directory accounts and not Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) accounts.It would probably be possible to do so using the Graph API but there are no dedicated actions you can use for this.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-usersIf you still have a local Active directory, which is synchronized to Azure, than you could use the actions, but this would require, that WEBCON is run in the same domain or at least can contact the domain.Best regards,Daniel

When integrating the main domain via LDAPS, WEBCON only sees users from the main domain, excluding users from trusted domains. When using unencrypted LDAP, everything works correctly.

When I enter the Url of the sitecollection and the user and password correctly, I get the Error message: "Unable to connect to the remote Server. The sign-in name or password does not match one in the Microsoft account system."As the account that I use to connect has not MFA enabled the reason for the error must be, that webcon uses legacy authentication, which is not allowed on our tenant due to conditional access policies.So my question is, if there isn't another authentication possibility at webcon?We actually use Version 2023.1.2.99. Could it be, that the problem would be solved on a newer Version?

Hi!I have a question on how to direct visibility of attribute based on which Tab is active.I created a group of attributes then added tab panel and few tabs. In group configuration I checked Horizontal arrangement because I want attributes in tabs to be placed horizontally. Now I want to add new attribute below this horizontal ones (att2: field name "Wycofaj poprzednio zoone owiadczenie"). I want attribute like this in every tab, but different attribute in every tab (when I can check it in every tab separately). I can't add it to tab because it will be placed horizontally with other attributes in tab.

How to Get instance by instance Id in Webcon SDK Plugin

2024-10-25T08:44:46+02:00

Hi Ahmed,maybe you are already aware of it but you could also make use of the "Update related workflow instance" action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/UpdateParentWorkflow/This action is similar to the "save" action on the form. This may be an alternative to create a custom SDK, if you don't need to update item lists.Best regards,Daniel

Ah, respoding too fast, I've read through whole topic and it seems like response is a bit off - not really importing from the list / webcon here. ~~~~Original belowHi Cezary, I'd go with using WEBCON REST API in that case, you should be able to invoke it from VBA and maybe from OfficeScript, but you could also convert that excel to CSV and process it with any programming language you feel comfortable with.This way you also won't have to worry about action timeouts.You might look at this KB, which will guide you a little bit further:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/importing-data-into-webcon-two-approaches/483/3Example imports using PowerShell: https://github.com/lumenn/webcon-data-import.

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

2024-10-18T07:59:41+02:00

I didn't think about that ...in the "First" process I do dictionary of Auditors ... Auditors are from AD (IT limitation to BPS accounts :| )So each user have got flow where I set user properties (build dictionary) of what he can do [have certificates] -> sooner or later they will have BPS account but in moment of creation dictionary they don't.Later by few flows I use those people ones grabbed from that flow [source] to pick them to proposal of Audit.then I do set of proposals of audits for the year and change in previous flows tech field to see them in this "Parent flow"where I pick signature of proposal of Audit and then filing the form (2 item lists + 1 field) and by sub flows I can do last changes of "party" (participants)where I can add to that 2 lists users outside of company (with out any account) or AD users or Users from process (the "Dictionary")then by any update of that 2 lists or 1 field I do "_wszyscy audytorzy" list to pick from that list people to schedule item list (this one where I can pick few people and I would do assign subflows ...so ....those ID are from field in other flows where I pick people from AD + people outside company (people outside of course are not in this flow)

Hi Cezary,it's definitely possible with the options Jacek mentioned.There's only one thing to keep in mind. Starting so many workflows will take some time and you will probably run into a timeout starting all of these in one go. Therefore you should create a loop and always start only a batch of maybe 50 -100 workflows in on iteration.Best regards,Daniel

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

2024-10-17T17:16:19+02:00

To check if user is in a certain source/table you can do inner join by login, BPSid, etc., or left join with null filter. But SQL you have beedn already given is all you need. You can add two actions of assignin task and run them on condition that there are BPS users or not. For example, Action 1 - if exists BPS user = True >> run action and assign to BPS user, Action 2 - if exists BPS user = False >> run this action and assign to non BPS user.All you need is to take all the data from your list and put it in "run subflow" action. Thats it. You don't need to add any tech columns etc. because it is unnecessary data, but if it is easier for you to put checking rule in that way, you can do that. However, it won't give you much, since you still need to filter who is BPS user and who is not. Still, I do not mind why you are trying to use "for each row" operator? Run sublows by dedicated actions firstly, with all necessary data, and then check your users and assign tasks within subflows.

2024-10-17T16:33:03+02:00

Thank you guys but I think I will start from beginning - I have a bad day today and I'm having trouble connecting the "dots".From begining:1. Item list (mix names form other flow not connected with any source so ID befor # is random) >> _Wszyscy Audytorzy2. This Item list (_wszyscy audytorzy) is used in another Item list "Harmonogram Audytu / Kontroli" in field "Odpowiedzialny".after filing full item list I would like to move to next step the "parent element" and start for each row new work flow.3. Each sub work flow I would like to assigne to all people in cell row/column >> but:if non of people: 123123#janek;123123223#bonifacy;12312#john is not a BPS user then assign to person from field "_Audytor Wiodcy" (tech field) or whateverif 1 or 2 or all people are BPS users then assign subwork flow to them,at the moment I can start subworkflow (no sql - sorry I don't understand how to config the source tab to have proper data so ... I skipped that to "normal" "start subflow" I understand I can do subflow with out for each but .. I can't config it in proper way....So I did that:I do for each rowinside i do just for check condition with sql >> but it returns all time false :| - probably by this random stuff before name ..any way is not working :|i try to do this (chatGPT):[code]IF EXISTS ( SELECT COS_BpsID, COS_Login, COS_IsActive, COS_AD_name, COS_AD_mail, COS_AD_userprincipalname FROM CacheOrganizationStructure WHERE COS_AD_name IN ( SELECT -- Wyodrbnij cz tekstow po znaku '#' SUBSTRING(item, CHARINDEX('#', item) + 1, LEN(item)) FROM dbo.SplitToTable('{SN:936}', ';') ))BEGIN SELECT 1;ENDELSEBEGIN SELECT 0;END[/code]still c**p ... :|I was even thing maybe other solution like >> in each row add more tech column and by form rule check if names used in "odpowiedzialny" is in bps users ... if yes then put in some techfield1 and in tech2 field put "true"and if non then empty tech1 and "false" in tech2 and then do in automation to grab false value and easy sub flow and if true then grab field to who assign ... in theory sound easy ... but constract buisnes rule / rule in cell Odpowiedialny ... not realy easy ... :|in [system] start path I fill other Itemlists in subflow ...I guess ..if I could manage assigments then should be easy to do similar way to create Tech item list in sub flow with 2.2.2 i row 1 and 2.2.3 in row 2 and do automation for each row to fill Item list with questions .. but this is not the main issue .... Probably is easy way to solve my problem but i don't see it ..

BPS Users Authentication Issue

2024-10-17T15:20:37+02:00

Hi Arek,you are right, this would be an issue in this case though there is no use synchronization and all users are added as (external) BPS Users.Sligthty off topic:There's also a flag in the global parameters of the configuration database to change from UPN to netbios? format for the BPSId when the users are synchronized. At least there had been a flag in the past. :)Best regards,Daniel

BPS Users Authentication Issue

2024-10-17T12:11:51+02:00

Check if UPN format is appropriate. Maybe you will need other credentials like including domain name etc. For example, insead of 'jan.kowalski@companyname.pl' sth, like jkowal@intranet.domainname.com.pl. Check what is assigned as COS_BPSid, and what fields are used in "sychronisation configuration". Changing cos_login maually is not a solution since after another synchronisation data will change.

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

2024-10-17T12:00:01+02:00

If there is no user returned by SQL command or rule that you used then you will get the error on the path starting subflow. It depends also on what type of step you use (system steps does not need to assign tasks). Source of your user list does not matter. You can use BPS users, AD or Azure for example. You can also use groups of users in the same way. If you want to direct task to certain groups of users, like BPS users, you need to filter them as Jacek mentioned by BPSid or other, or assign them to specific groups.

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

2024-10-17T11:49:42+02:00

Yes, those actions. Don't use "for each" operator on the path. "Run subflow" action will start one subflow for every row from your list. Tasks need to be assigned within subflow, not in the main flow.

How to check and assign task in subflow to users in item list column?

2024-10-16T18:06:15+02:00

You do not need to use "for each operator" .There is an action "run subflow" that you can use on the path. Use this action and pass all the information from subelements list. Action will start new flow for each row. After you pass all necassary info (people also possible but not neccessary) you will need to put an action "create task" on the path in the subflow. Assigning people is available by getting them from subflow form if you pass them, or you can use "sql command" to get them from master flow using wfd_id, det_wfdid, det_id columns from wfelements and wfelementdetails tables. The point is to use det_id to find which people are assigned to certain row. Here is an example:select [odpowiedzialny]from wfelementdetailsleft join wfelementson det_wfdid=wfd_idwhere wfd_id=''and wfd_dtypeid=''and det_wfconid=''and det_id=''

[solved] Issue with Implementing SplitToTable Function for Multiple Attachments in Itemlist

2024-10-16T08:57:35+02:00

Hi Celina,if you want to return the attachment ids from the item list it would be something like thisselect itemfrom dbo.SplitToTable ((select Top 1 DET_AttachmetnColumn from WFElementDetails where DET_WFDID = ? and DET_WFCONID = ? and ....),';')The inner select statement should return the value and a single row.I think you should take a look at the database with the SQL Management studio or another tool and check out the available functions. This will help you in the long run.Best regards,Daniel

BPS Users Authentication Issue

2024-10-15T20:57:10+02:00

Hi Jacek,it's quite similar to local accounts in our demo environment. In the end we decided to add the users to the BpsUsers table in the configuration database with an insert statement to circumvent the UI and API restriction that users should be entered in the UPN format. It's not ideal but sometime and I would prefer not to write to the database directly but sometimes there's no alternative.Best regards,Daniel

BPS Users Authentication Issue

2024-10-15T15:37:14+02:00

Hi Everyone!In the WEBCON environment we use, it is not possible to synchronize users with local AD. However, we want and can use AD to authenticate users. So we added our WEBCON users as BPS users. In the BPS user synchronization configuration we have set: Synchronization source = None and in the system configuration Authentication Providers = Windows Active Directory. Once completed, all BPS users have been synchronized and are listed in the CacheOrganizationStructure table with COS_Login in UPN format. Now the problem:When a user logs in to the portal, the system sees him in the domain\user format and none of the permissions granted to him work. By the way - when we "manually" change COS_Login to the domain\user format - everything works fine. However, after some time, WEBCON updates the entries in the CacheOrganizactionStructure anyway and everything falls apart. Dear colleagues, does anyone know how to force IIS to use the UPN format for user authentication or how to force WEBCON not to correct entries in COS_Login?Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How do I build a yes/no toggle (or other html control with green and red colours) that, when the FullName text field is changed, the toggle changes to yes if such a FullName already exists, or stays at no if there is no FullName yet.

[Solved] Issues with database connection "subsequently assumed a new security context"

2024-10-14T22:42:57+02:00

How did you find the corrupt entry in the database?I'm struggling with similar issues resulting in massive system lagging which can be resolved only by SQL service restart. I assume I would need to check all picker field entries and look for the faulty one e.g. one without #, right? In both WFElements and WFElementsHisory. I suppose WFElementDetails and WFElementDetailsHistory as well.If the reason is the same in my case and I'm able to find the corrupt entry the only solution is to change the value directly in the sql table, right?

2024-10-14T17:41:35+02:00

You can use dbo.Calendars table. There is [CAL_IsWorkingDay] column which shows workin/nonworking days. Then add two fields on your form to input date range, and 'sql row' or 'sql grid' attribute to calculate number of dates. Date attributes should be put ias string value in ' '. Use SQLs below. Other solution is to put the SQL command in a 'SET' javascript action, to change value of a certain field (text or numeric) triggered by a change in both date fileds, so that you can save the result..SELECT [CAL_ID] ,[CAL_WorkingDate] ,[CAL_IsWorkingDay] FROM [dbo].[Calendars] where CAL_WorkingDate between '2019-01-01' and '2019-01-08' SELECT count(*) as number FROM [dbo].[Calendars] where CAL_WorkingDate between '2019-01-01' and '2019-01-08' and CAL_IsWorkingDay=1

[solved] subworkflow started from item list is started twice

Hi Danielbut my problem was that the subworkflows were started twice.When I only did the subworkflow start (sql) without for each (as you said) they were only started individually - which was great but I have a businessrule in the query 'if MAQUALIF to respective MA = 0 then true else false' which accesses the value of the item list - So I must have the possibility to access the item list.

Show different Tables from SQL Server

2024-10-14T12:00:32+02:00

I suggest to make a view or views that will aggregate the necessary data from your tables. It will be more efficient to do that dicertly on database or DWH than in BPS. Then you can use it easier, as a separate data source, in SQL grid or SQL command in studio.

2024-10-14T11:15:53+02:00

The admin account is intended solely for initial platform configuration, not application/process configuration. You should configure the authentication provider that you will use in your further work and grant administrative permission to the user from this provider (Active Directory, Entra ID or any OpenID provider).Look at: https://community.webcon.com/webinars/webcon-bps-2024-installation-guide/22 starting at 8:30

Show different Tables from SQL Server

2024-10-11T07:40:25+02:00

I do have access to the sql server.One of these fields is just to filter certain results(the name of this column is pretty similiar in all other tables). What i want is a way to show different tables with different columns(count and name). Ideally a button which could reset the table and the configuration of it would be ideal.In the worst case i would need to create 1 table for every table on the sql server. Is it possible to only display the table with the data corrosponding to the sql table?

Show different Tables from SQL Server

2024-10-10T21:04:57+02:00

Hi Almin,What I understand is that you want to create a process with one field in which you can define an SQL statement and the data table should show the result.If this is correct, than it will work if you predefine the name and number of columns. We need to configure the data table using those columns and every query would need to return those columns. This could be either the actual value of a column or a dummy value.You could define a simple statement like select 1 as id and configure the data table. Afterwards you can comment this row and insert the form field without single quotes. This way you should be able to configure dynamic sql statements. Of course there will be errors when the field does not contain any or an invalid statement.Im guessing that you dont have access to the SQL server. One alternative would be to use the show logs option from the administration tools in the Designer Studio. You are not restricted to the logs table. Another alternative would be to configure data sources. Ive used both options in the past. Best regards,Daniel

[solved] subworkflow started from item list is started twice

2024-10-08T14:14:52+02:00

Hi Celina,with the Start subworkflow (SQL) action you will start one workflow for each row in the result set.If you have no other actions in the for each loop, than you can simply "move" the action outside of the for each loop and delete the loop.If you have other actions in the for each loop or you want to store the started workflow instance id in the current row, you would need to use the "simple" start subworkflow action. This action will allow you to save the instance id of the created workflow to an automation parameter which in turn can be used to store the value in a column of the item list.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Celina,are you executing the action inside a for each loop or outside? If iit's inside a foreach, it would be executed twice. At least this is the only explanation I have if there's one row creates one sub workflow but two rows creates 4 rows.Off topic:- I would use the DET_WFCONID condition inside the join. This could make a small performance improvement- I would recommend to switch Designer Studio to English. This will help others and yourself to find information with the correct terms.Best regards,Daniel

ok - I understand :-)it's just that using substring always carries a certain risk of incorrect data (that's all :-) )In some ADs, for example, the user's DisplayName is made so that it is "Last Name, First Name" (with a comma in the middle). Then such a mechanism is not very reliable.If there is no other way and substring must be, then it may be better to use the separators "CN=" and ",OU=" instead of "=" and "," - lower risk of failure(example in the attachment)

[part of string]https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/BusinessRules_General/#funkcjeTextYou can use the following functions that operate on text values: TO UPPER converts a text value to capital letters, e.g., contract CONTRACT, TO LOWER converts a text value to lowercase, e.g., CONTRACT contract, TEXT LEN returns an integer value representing the number of characters in the text (string), SUBSTRING allows you to extract a text fragment based on the starting character's index and the number of characters to be downloaded. The first character in the text has an index = 1, STRING REPLACE allows you to replace a phrase in a given text with another phrase, INDEX OF returns the position of the first occurrence of the specified string in the provided text. This function searches the text starting from the indicated position. The first character of the text has the value = 1, CONCAT it is used to combine several texts into one text string, TRIM removes whitespace at the beginning and at the end of the selected text, LIKE enables checking whether the selected text contains a given text pattern. If so, "TRUE" is returned,tipUsing the CONCAT function within the LIKE function enables creating advanced filter conditions related to Data sources. This solution allows you to narrow down the list of values returned by a data source, for example, when configuring a Choice field.For more information, see the ARTICLE on our technical blog.CONTAINS checks if a given text fragment is present in the selected text; if it is, it returns "TRUE". This function is not case sensitive,STARTS WITH checks if the given text begins with the specified fragment; it is not case sensitive,SPLIT allows you to divide the text into parts separated by a character of your choice (e.g., a semicolon). You can also use any string of characters as the separator,REMOVE HTML TAGS removes all HTML tags from a given text,TEXT allows to define text with translations.

Microsoft Graph authenticate with cerfticate

2024-09-24T19:25:00+02:00

Hi,Recently, I connected to the e-mail functional mailbox via the server type: Exchange Online - Microsoft Graph and specifying Tenant ID, Application ID, Client Secret, but I don't see a place to indicate a certificate there. When creating a REST / Graph connection, I use APIKey passed in the URL / header.

Problem with cyclical action

2024-09-24T19:06:00+02:00

I have a process that creates 10 reports each month. After creating the initial reports, I would like to clone them automatically at the end of the month, only changing the reporting month. The user (author) updates the data and submits it for verification.I proposed the following procedure:1. I created a BPS source that lists all 10 reports from the last month.2. The BPS data source has columns including: ID, Signature, Author, Company, etc.3. In the cyclic action, I added automation and the "Execute for everyone" operator, where I indicated the above-mentioned BPS data source.4. There is automation in the operator that starts a new cycle (Start a subworkflow). I have 4 actions here because when I start a new element, I use 4 different paths. This is due to the fact that sometimes I assign a task to one person, and sometimes to two people per company.5. In the data tab, I indicate the collection columns on the basis of which I complete some form fields.6. The technical paths that I indicate in the subworkflow activation action have validation disabled.7. On each path that I use in the subworkflow action, I have an automation pattern responsible for copying data from item lists, i.e. I take data from the current report and copy it to the next month's report. I base the copying on the _ID of the parent (BPS data source ID column).8. The cyclic action, when run, returns an error, and even if I turn off all actions on the transition paths, I get the same error. You can see in the log that elements are being created, new signatures are being assigned and there are exactly 10 of them, but at the end an automation error appears:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.Managers.WorkflowManagement.WorkFlowManager.d__59.MoveNext()--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.Helpers.WorkFlowManagerProxy.d__0.MoveNext()--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.Automations.Engine.Evaluators.ForEachEvaluator.d__10.MoveNext()-------------------------------------------------------------Akcja Uruchom podobieg nie zostaa wykonana.

I'm digging an older thread, but some notes:* In case of using 'Generate a PDF file', remember that it returns rastered image, it's not PDF with editable text or vector graphics. Its rastered image wrapped in .pdf format.* Depending on the original file, you could use PowerShell action, and CLI tools like ImageMagic for conversions - it handles a lot of formats: https://imagemagick.org/index.php

Special characters

2024-09-24T15:56:07+02:00

Hi Maria,If it should be validated, then there is no safer way than Form Validation Action, but if you'd like to improve UX, then i have an idea:Add new Yes/No column, editable by JS only. Then on change of the column which should be validated - make a form rule, which will validate it, and set that checkbox to true if validation is correct, and false if it's not.For that validation regex i'd suggest creating a JS form rule with input parameter, and use that inside of column styles and behavior :)

Special characters

2024-09-24T15:51:50+02:00

Hi,you can make a form rule (and put it in the "Style and behavior" -> "Form rule to be executed on value change") and use javascript to check the regex only if source != "External"https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_regexp_test.asp But obviously, this is only a js validation, so I would check it additionally at the end of the path anyway :-)

2024-09-24T14:55:47+02:00

Hi,I would like to create validation for the input in a column of an item list. I have an item list with two columns (Input, Source). If the Source is "External," I don't want to validate for special characters.I have been using regex on the column, but now I have this condition.One solution I thought of is to create a "for each" loop on the item list and add a validation form... But I would prefer it to happen immediately, when user is inputing, not when the user clicks on the next step, like it would work when using regex on the column.Do you have any ideas?Thank you.

Since the fields are added, to the DOM the script will be executed whenever the tab is displayed.Best regards,Daniel

REST API connection to SAP

2024-09-23T08:38:50+02:00

Dear Daniel, Thank you for your response. Initially, my approach was similar to your suggestion regarding the technical workflow (point no. 2), but I hadnt considered using a global business rule.Unfortunately, the response from the SAP API doesnt include the ROUTEID in the body, as its returned in the header, which I cant access directly through the REST API configuration. However, I was able to retrieve it via SQL from the [LOG_AdditionalMessage] column in [dbo].[WFActionExecutions], where I extract it from the string.To avoid creating excessive elements in the database, Ive configured a timeout on the step of the workflow. This way, instead of generating multiple elements, I maintain a single element per day with several history versions (one for each timeout execution).While this approach works most of the time, occasionally, the B1SESSION and ROUTEID seem to expire prematurely, despite the default session timeout being set to 30 minutes. I plan to reach out to the SAP support team to extend the session timeout to a longer period.There are still a few technical issues I need to resolve, but I must admit Im a bit disappointed that theres no option to add custom headers in the REST API connection setup.Thanks again for your support.

Hi Adam,It seems that you can pass the information as headers.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73777371/how-to-make-subsequent-request-to-sap-business-one-service-layer-from-djangoheaders = { "Cookie": "B1SESSION=SessionID; ROUTEID", "authkey": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "Accept": "*/*", "Content-Type": "text/plain",}I have two idea which should work and a few other which could be validated.1. Custom data sourceThis one should work for sure, but requires more development. Depending on your use cases and may be worthwhile to explore it.https://github.com/WEBCON-BPS/develop-docs/blob/main/WebCon.BpsExt.Examples/WebCon.BpsExt.QuickStart/CustomDataSourceExample/CustomDataSourceExample.cs2. Technical workflow This may be an option, if the returned values are valid for a longer time. a) Create a technical workflow, which executes the login and stores the result in a technical field.b) A cyclical action starts the technical workflow every no one then during a working day. Whatever this may be for you. :)c) A global business rule returns the value(s)d) The data source uses the business rule.Other ideas2.bI have not tested, whether executing a data source used in a choose field would use an unsaved field value, when executing the REST request. If this would work you could:c) Store the values from the technical workflow in two field during page loadd) Use the "All form fields" option from the expression editor in the data source to reference these fields. This would also allow you to use the raw value stored in the field.3) Login data sourcea) Create a data source which returns the whole response in a field. I have always mapped the response to individual variables but I wonder, whether we can can just declare that the result is not an object with multiple properties but store the whole result in one value.What I mean with this is that a result like would typically be mapped as{property1 : "some value" // not mappedobject1 : { "o1.p1" : "abc" // mapped to object1_property1 "o1.p2" : "abc" // mapped to object1_property2}}And we would configure the result like {property1 : "some value" // not mappedobject1 : mapped to object1}b) Create a global business rule which uses the "Data source value" function and processes the result to return the values. c) Use the global business rule in the data source.I'm also wondering what would happen if you execute the "Data source value" function twice to return the B1SESSION and ROUTEID separately. Would they be valid, even if they are returned by two different "logins"? If they are, this would make this a whole lot easier and would allow us to configure the login data source as usual.4) Custom SDK business rule SDK.Instead of creating a customer data source, you could also opt for just creating a custom business rule, which executes the login and returns the necessary information.Depending on the way and characters in the values, you may also run into this. https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5645/15If you would be running 2022 you would be fine.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Mihai,I don't know if it's normal but I have the same behavior ;)Ad. 1 - it seems like a small bug, but the most important thing is that it works :-)Ad. 2 - In my opinion for a business rule it seems to make sense, because if you display it outside the foreach loop, the system has no context in which it can be used (there is no column collection's name). The business rule could theoretically be used everywhere.Regards,Jacek

I have another ForEach and inside I made a business rule that uses, again, info from column collection and it is working, but when I go to all business rules and open it i will see something similar with the first example.

Hi Maria,I'm seriously confused right now, at least if I understand everything correct.You have an item list with x rowsFor each row you want to execute some actions and set another column. The big question mark in my head is, why can't you use the "Change value of a single field" in the for each? This would allow you to set a column of the current row.That the REST action does throw an error is correct. After all you are in a path transition/automation which checked out the current workflow instance and you are executing a REST action which also wants to check out the instance. This cannot work. Best regards,Daniel

Hi Everyone,after upgrading Webcon environment to v 2023.1.3.269 (working previously on 2022) I've noticed a behavior change in following situation.There is an item list which has enabled following options - Allow adding,- Allow deleting, - Show actions column,- Show "Remove all"It is filled with many rows which in most cases exceeds the display range so the user has to scroll down/up between entries.End user wants to delete entries one by one with the deleting bin in the action column. But doing so the form is always scrolling down by its own to reach the Add button at the bottom (turning off the Add button is preventing the form from scrolling down, however the Add button is required for adding single manual entries)Is there a way to avoid such behavior while keeping all the item list options on?

Hi Natalia,there seems to be something wrong.At least this one should have been working App.Elements.Read.All/api/data/v5.0/db/1/elements/23 (also 1,2,3,60)if - the registered application has been one of the "Access all workflow instances" privileges in the designer studio- Maybe the user also needs a license for getting elements. Creating /modifying would require assigning a license to the user for sureGetting a list of elements won't work. You will need to call a PublicApiReport endpoint.I have never tried to retrieve tasks. Based on the fact that it uses a get method and there are no query parameter to define the user, I would guess that you need to use OAuth2 - AuthorizationCode to execute the call in the name of the user.I have never user this yet.Best regards,Daniel

2024-09-11T21:08:39+02:00

Hi Pawe,I have to admit I don't fully understand what you want to do so my comments may be off a bit.The first thing I would test would be to configure the item list initialization using your dropdown. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILConf_Init/When the value is changed I would execute the initialize item list form rule:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/UxRules_General/#item-listThis could already work to populate your item list without saving the workflow instance.If this doesn't work I would modify the workflow a bit and create a two step "wizard". The first step would allow selecting the drop down and lead to the next one using the wizard modehttps://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Path/Action_StepEditPathsParameters#9-confirmationThis way you could populate the item list on this path and the user could continue filling out the form "without" leaving the form.If you need to save the element immediately when the form is opened, you could execute a form rule if the instance id is not greater than 0 and execute the save path.Best regards,Daniel

[solved] Access values of data source in sql query

2024-09-10T16:23:39+02:00

1. Fixed value list - you can read fixed value e.g. from a query like this" SELECT dbo.ClearWFElemId(item) as ItemID,dbo.ClearWFElemId( dbo.ClearWFElem(item)) as ItemName,dbo.ClearWFElem( dbo.ClearWFElem(item)) as ItemDescriptionfrom dbo.SplitToTable((select WFS_StaticValues FROM [dbo].[WFDataSources] where WFS_ID = xxx ),';' ) test "where xxx is the ID of your data source (fixed value list)2. SQL data source - so you just have to add it via inner join ;)3. REST API Data source - I think this will be the biggest challenge. As far I know, you can't add it dynamically in an SQL query.In this case you can set only the ID (maybe with technical field) on the start subworkflow action, and then in the started element on the path with which you start the workflow, read the appropriate value from the source and set value via action "Change value of single field" (BTW - you can do the same for every dictionary/data source what you have in this case)

Suppose I have two form fields, Field X and Field Y, and an SDK plugin is attached to Field X.When the C# method ConvertToDBTypeAsync is called, it saves data for Field X into the database. I would like to save the same data into Field Y as well. Are there any built-in functions that can help with this?

Hi,try this solution:1. add a technical column of type "Data row" and define it as "OrdinarNumber".2. pass the value of the technical column to the StergerAction function as a parameter3. inside the StergerAction function you should make a for loop and go through all the elements and check if the technical column is equal to the passed parameter. If so, delete the row with id = i from the loop-- edit --ad 2. you can probably skip this point - as you do now it should be ok

Deleting lines of a list, one by one

2024-09-04T12:20:15+02:00

Hello,I'm trying to create a more complex delete of line function. To explain this briefly, I have a list, where I can't use the normal delete button. So instead, I'm adding one using a dataRow form field, where I call the JS function like this: deteteFunction(list ordinal number);In this list there is a column called IsOld, and it's values can be OLD or NEW. * If the line I want to delete has the value NEW in the IsOld column, then I want to just simply delete that line using the basic SubelementDelete(#{WFCON:2602}#, rowID); function. * If the line I want to delete has the value OLD in the IsOld column, then I want to invoke a menu button and do something else which is not important right now. Unfortunately what happens is looking like this:ordinalNumber -- unimportantFormField(I'll just put number from 1 to 6 so it's easier to observe) -- isOld1 -- 01 -- NEW2 -- 02 -- NEW3 -- 03 -- NEW -- THE LINE I'M DELETING4 -- 04 -- NEW5 -- 05 -- NEW6 -- 06 -- NEWFirst results will look good: ordinalNumber -- unimportantFormField(I'll just put numbers from 1 to 6 so it's easier to observe) -- isOld1 -- 01 -- NEW2 -- 02 -- NEW4 -- 04 -- NEW -- THE LINE I WANT TO DELETE THE SECOND TIME5 -- 05 -- NEW6 -- 06 -- NEWBecause the page is not saving, the ordinal number is not resetting,so results now after trying to detele the line where the unimportantFormField value is 04 will be:ordinalNumber -- unimportantFormField(I'll just put numbers from 1 to 6 so it's easier to observe) -- isOld1 -- 01 -- NEW2 -- 02 -- NEW4 -- 04 -- NEW 6 -- 06 -- NEWbecause will actually delete the line where the ordinal number is 4, like originally, instead of deleting the new ordinal number which is 3 now.... Has anyone any idea how to solve this using JS? Version: 2023.1.2.68Thank you!

This is probably an unsupported feature, at least I have never read anything about it. :)Did you already test, whether the id is replaced when you transport the application to another environment?If it is not replaced, you could still use your solution by using the id from the production environment for the variable. It only has to work in the production environment. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi Daniel!Thank you for your quick reply. I am currently trying to implement this. However, I do not quite understand how to access the content of the attachment. I have a normal XML file in this process. You use a SQL statement to get the ID of the attachment with the database set to current. But for querying the content and how you convert it, you use an Attachment DB (which I do not have). How do I access the content if I keep the database set to current and use the SQL statements like you do? When I try to access the content, I get an error.

How to Display SDK Plugin Field in a Report Table as a Multi-Choice Field with Multilanguage Support

E-mail reminder when the current step is active

2024-09-03T17:27:03+02:00

Hi Igor,from which part of the application did you have taken the screenshot?Is this the insert condition of the timeout or somewhere in the automation?If this task is assigned to a single person, I think that you could make your life a lot easier.A task will only be completed if a path is used. Therefore, you don't need to have an insert condition. If the workflow get's moved to the step, set the timeout to be executed at an interval and set it to only execute actions. The timeout should not use a path transition. It can use a path transition but you have to be a bit more careful here. This also applies if you have paths moving the workflow to the same step.You can read up on it here:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/unified-save-experience#differences-between-the-save-button-and-a-save-pathBtw. in these kind of cases I tend to use multiple timeouts which are inserted depending on the environment. In case of dev the interval will be minutes and not days. :)Best regards,Daniel

XML

2024-09-03T17:18:43+02:00

Hi Mario,yes, your idea can work.- You can extract the text from a plain text file and store it in a field and maybe in an automation parameter:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/importing-applications-using-an-application#business-rules- You can then use "for xml" in an sql commandhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/xml/for-xml-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16With "for xml" you could return different result sets. One for setting multiple fields and others for the item list.If this doesn't work for any reason, you could switch over to SDKs. If you have a developer at hand and you have the SDK license.Here's an old example on populating an item list based on an XML.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/custom-action-xml-to-item-list#downloadBest regards,Daniel

Hello :) I have a process where I generate an XML file. I would now like to extract this XML file in another process with a sustainable solution. My XML file contains multiple fields as well as lists. What would be the easiest way to achieve this using WEBCON? I was thinking of writing the content of my XML file into a technical multiline text field via SQL and then extracting it with the "Change Values" action. The lists would be handled with the "Update Item List" action. Is this possible? Thank you very much for your help!

HI Markus!Thank you so much for your reply, the mass notifications are great, did not know about them, and will definetely use in other apps I will be creating.However, what I want to achieve is not possible with this approach, cause I will need to send the notifications on the specific days of the month. (15, 18, 21 days of each month for instance).So the interval would be 3 days, which I want to set on timeout :)Is there any possible way then to achieve this using an action with the condition which returns the info whether the task is completed or not, and if not then the e-mail reminder would be sent?Best Regards,Igor

How to Set order of Attachments Category?

2024-09-02T14:04:33+02:00

Hi Pawe,As far as i know, there is no built in way to change the sorting. I'd go with prefixing categories, as you've already have described.You could also go with a javascript solution, something like this:const list = document.querySelector('#attachments > * ul'); // this will get unordered list of attachments// this function is responsible for sorting - you could tweak it, data-drop contains attachment category in format id#name.let compare = (a, b) => {let aAttr = a.getAttribute('data-drop');let bAttr = b.getAttribute('data-drop');if (aAttr < bAttr) return -1;return 1;}// Here we change list childrens (so attachments) to array, sort it, and based on that reordering them in the ui using list.append.[...list.children] .sort(compare) .forEach(node => list.appendChild(node));

Daniel gave a good list of resources, I'll try to point out things you might have to correct based on the screenshot.1 First you should fetch access_token from webcon, you could do it like that:Look at lines 3-13https://github.com/lumenn/webcon-data-import/blob/7dc59431595118ba9845e5cca4097b5095c43100/Import-Customers.ps1#L3-L132. Request body in your exapmle doesn't have correct schema, You might look at this example lines 51-86, you have to specify at least workflow, form type, businessentity, and form fields as array of objects made of GUID/ID and value. https://github.com/lumenn/webcon-data-import/blob/7dc59431595118ba9845e5cca4097b5095c43100/Import-Customers.ps1#L51-L863.

Hi Andreia,in your case I would use this sql statement:select DET_IDfrom WFElementDetailswhere DET_WFFID = {WFD_ID}and DET_WFCONID = ItemListId-- Condition to define which rows should be deleted.and FIELDDatabaseName > 0If you use the DET_ID for the unique value, all rows will be deleted from it, which don't fulfil your requirements.

it might be difficult without SQL :/maybe the solution is (if possible) to set some flag (technical field) on the documents you display, so that the last one is marked as activeor alternatively, you can use advanced filtering and try to search for the last elements there (but then you would have to repeat the data source configuration in the selected place)

Well... like with everything in life (except taxes), you have a choice :). It boils down to your priorities and what makes the most sense. When it comes to ERPs, most of them will have a KSeF connector to issue invoices. However, most of them won't have a connector to receive invoices. WEBCON is going to provide a service to support both scenarios, although naturally we observe the highest interest on the receiving end of invoices. And yes, it's going to be a paid service, and the clients will be able to choose which scenarios (sending and receiving) they wish to support with WEBCON and they'll be charged accordingly. The majority of companies prioritize stability and ongoing support, especially when it comes to highly government-regulated business cases. That's precisely what we're going to offer. Can you create your own connector? Yes. Although, you need to factor in the cost of your labor and ongoing maintenance. The latter is particularly important as we already experience many changes into KSeF and many more are expected after go live. So again, everything boils down to weighing advantages and disadvantages. After all, you can run processes in Excel, via e-mail, etc. yet you decided to use WEBCON (even if it's just the freemium version) :).

SQL grid - always shows current data.I think the second option is a better solution.I don't know how many columns you show/hide, but you can make 2-3 SQL grids with different number of columns and always show only one of them depending on the conditions.

Initializing item lists in preview mode

2024-08-23T14:55:06+02:00

But the data we were showing on the Item list were representing child flows so there were statuses changing etc. When you are in preview mode you don't see those changes although they are already in the database.Another udercut is that you cannot dynamicaly hide a column based on the atribute field value.In Data tables you must show all columns wherase in item lists you could hide some columns.Is there any other solution to this ?Problem is that when you look on that item list which should be always "up to date" it is not when only in preview mode. So you must always get into edit mode to see the real (initialized) data.

Initializing item lists in preview mode

2024-08-23T13:45:51+02:00

Hi,yes, using Data Table (SQLGrid) can be a workaroundbut in my opinion this behavior is correct - because the user (especially if he doesn't have edit rights) shouldn't see data that isn't actually saved on the form (those rows aren't in the database)

It's not like that. This condition is wrong, so every time element will enter this step it gives SQL error.If i add condition like SELECT WFD_ID FROM WFElements WHERE 1=0 (so it's also always wrong) TIMEOUT still goes to the list of tieouts.And System tries in specified time run it. But timeotu still exist in list so can't be deleted.I need a solution to remove specific TIMEOUT from Timeout list so i can DELETE TIMEOUT complety.Now i recive error from Studio.I use this SQL to list all timeouts:SELECT ELM.WFD_Signature, TIM.TIM_Name,TIM.TIM_Interval, TIM.TIM_RepeatCount, TIM.TIM_WFCONID, TIM.TIM_InsertingSQL, TIM.TIM_Description,DATEDIFF(SECOND, TMO.ETM_StartTimeoutTime, TMO.ETM_TSUpdate) AS Delay,FROM WFElementTimeouts TMOINNER JOIN WFElements ELM ON TMO.ETM_WFDID = ELM.WFD_IDINNER JOIN WFTimeouts TIM ON TMO.ETM_TIMID = TIM.TIM_ID

Check their configuration, in particular the tabs: "Style and behavior", "Visibility" and "Editability and requiredness".FLD is used e.g. in business rules e.g. to set/retrieve values from attributes.e.g.SELECT WFCON_PROMPT, * FROM WFConfigurationsWHERE WFCON_ID = 1374

Copy multiple Attachements of an items list to another workflow item

2024-08-21T17:16:38+02:00

Hi.Following Scenario: (Webcon Version 2021.1.5.367)I have an items list with (amongst others) a column for (multiple) attachments. Out of each line of the items list I start a workflow instance of another (start a subworkflow SQL) workflow and the attachments shall be copied to the new instance.Idea 1: I check "copy attachments" in the "Start a subworkflow". Issue: all attachments of the parent workflow are copiedIdea 2: I create the instances and create an action template to copy the attachments from the parent workflow using a SQL query, reading the ATT_ID from the attachment column. Issue: with single attachments per line it will work, with mulitple I get an error as webcon stores the Att_ids with a comma (e.g. 6603,6604) which is not identified as an int value. Has anybody an idea how to solve this issue?Kind regards,Klaus

2024-08-20T12:13:13+02:00

Hi Pawe,when a workflow instance uses follows a path all tasks will always be completed. If the path is set to "wait for completion" the workflow instance will not be using the path. It will only be saved.Therefore I see only two option.1) If you only need to update fields, you could use the update related workflow instance action. It's basically a "save" action with which you can update the fields of any workflow instance.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/UpdateParentWorkflow/2) Use the "Mark task as cancelled" option and use a business which would recreate the cancelled tasks.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Mario,I have never faced a similar use case, the only 100% solution would be to:- Create the tasks with an action- Set completion mode of the path to "any" and not parallel- Move the workflow to a flow control, which verifies the requirements- If the requirements are not met, move back to the previous step and create the missing tasks.If you have a version, where assignments to groups are not resolved to individuals, you may have another option.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Process/Process_Configuration/Process_Settings#assign-tasks-for-groups-directly-to-group-members That would be to set the task completion to "wait for required tasks" and use "Fixed number".I haven't used this configuration before, but it may work if you have always three tasks. I'm also wondering what will happen if an individual is also a part of the group. In this case both tasks may get completed.Best regards,Daniel

Send email on new row

2024-08-16T18:06:30+02:00

Hi Andreia,I'm sorry but for some reason I don't receive any notifications and so I have to check any updates manually.If you don't delete rows, than it would be fine to just compare the number of rows.I haven't tested this in WEBCON but the below query could work when used in the OnEntry step. At least it does return the expected values in SQL Server Management Studio, which you could use to write your condition.Of course you would need to replace the WFCONID and instance id with your values.What this does. It returns the number of rows of the current version from WFElementDetails, that's obvious.The part for NumberOfRowsInPreviousVersion is a little more complex. The content of this table is only updated, when something was changed. If you just save the workflow instance without changing the rows, there will be no entry for this version. So we can't just simply get the rows for the previous version (instance.WFD_Version -1). It could be, that this version does not exist in the table. Therefore we have to return the latest entered version which is lower than the WFD_Version. While writing this I noticed that the - 1 may return wrong results in combination with the lower than operator. We can remove the -1. This is wrong in the screenshot.In the screenshot we see the following:The current workflow version is 7 and there are currently 4 rows. The history table contains rows for version 4 and 2.1) Return the 4 rows of version 4.2) Simulates a lower version number and return the number of rows of version 2. The current version is 7 -3 = 4 and we want to return the the rows for the version which is lower than 4.Best regards,DanielWhat this does:select instance.WFD_ID, instance.WFD_Version,(select COUNT(*)from WFElementDetails where DET_WFDID = instance.WFD_ID and DET_WFCONID = 841 ) as NumberOfCurrentRows,(select COUNT(*)from WFHistoryElementDetails where HDT_WFDID = instance.WFD_IDand HDT_WFCONID = 841 and HDT_Version = (select Max(previousVersion.HDT_Version) from WFHistoryElementDetails previousVersion where HDT_WFDID = instance.WFD_ID and HDT_WFCONID = 841and previousVersion.HDT_Version < instance.WFD_Version)) as NumberOfRowsInPreviousVersionfrom WFElements as instancewhere WFD_ID = 5728

Hi Maks,did you test this or did you run into issues with this?__Also your environments DEV/PROD are now divergent - on DEV field is using WFD_AttText5, and on prod the same field uses WFD_AttText6.In case of any complex reports that require column names you'll have remember at every single update, that you have to manually update that report. Not cool :)__ I'm quite sure that they will both have the same column name. @S BlueExcept this example I can confirm Maks response. If you import a new version to a target environment or database in this regard, every element in a process is removed in the target environment if it's GUID does not exist in the import package.There's maybe on exception. If a workflow instance is in a step which was deleted in a new version, there's either an error, or the the step remains in the system. I'm not to sure about it.I have in mind that you can delete steps, if no workflow instance is currently assigned to it, but I'm not sure. The history would look strange. :)Best regards,Daniel

HI,In the perfect world, you should do all development on DEV environment, and only use Import mechanism on TEST/PROD environments.When you import an application to an environment Webcon defaults in in its settings to display a message, that you are modifying process, that have been imported.This is a way to warn and protect user before making changes which might lead to unpredictable errors. I once felt the pain, and I'm now always thinking twice, when changing something on TEST/PROD manually.TLDR;1. Webcon will mark process as imported, and will prompt you every time you will try to save it, that it is a import/export process. You still can allow it, but on each save there will be a message to confirm.2. It's only a checkbox marked, you can uncheck it (Miscellaneous group: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Process/Process_Configuration/Process_Settings)3. As in pt. 2 :)@Update, below example is wrong, I'm leaving it here, to maintain the discussion, in later comments there is an update in this regard.An example, let's say you are developing an application, that is already on DEV/TEST/PROD.Monday:There is a feature request, to add a new field, you are making that change on DEV environment and inside database a new column is being used, lets say WFD_AttText5.Tuesday:A CEO comes into your office screaming, that there should be a new text field on a PROD right now, and you have to do it today (a little exaggerated example).You jump in to work, and create a new field directly on PROD, and it gets also WFD_AttText5, as changes you've made on DEV and reserved this column are not yet on PROD.Of course you also add this field on DEV, so it's there for next update, and will not get lost, and on DEV it will get WFD_AttText6 column.Wednesday:You want to deploy new release, it hit's prod. Field you've added on Tuesday in prod gets deleted - it has different GUID internally, so webcon doesn't know it's the same you've later configured on prod.The new field is added, and you end up with new field on WFD_AttText6, and all data filled before on WFD_AttText5 stays there, so all forms seems empty for this specific field.You'll have to manually update database to make it work again, and you've lost WFD_AttText5 column.Also your environments DEV/PROD are now divergent - on DEV field is using WFD_AttText5, and on prod the same field uses WFD_AttText6.In case of any complex reports that require column names you'll have remeber at every single update, that you have to manually update that report. Not cool :)

Migration of SharePoint List data to Webcon

2024-08-16T11:44:21+02:00

Hi,In case of dictionaries i think the easiest way would be using Excel Import/Export it's described here:* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/dictionary-processes/112/3In case of large dictionaries i would consider using API to create those entries, the process would be very similar to one I've written about in my blog post:* https://blog.lumenn.pl/importing-data-to-webcon-3/

Importing and Exporting Applications

2024-08-16T11:16:07+02:00

Hello, im still learning Webcon and I have some questions regarding Importing and Exporting applications.I tried exporting and importing an application to a different message but I got the following message when I tried to save and publish process (image attached)1. What does this line mean "all changes to this process must be made by importing a file containing an updated configuration" ? Is this a necessary step to do on an imported app and how can I do it?2. Is there an impact if I saved it anyways?3. Process imported to environment via export-import mechanism. Manual modification is locked. Is there a way unlock manual modification and will it have any impact on the application?Thanks in Advance

Hi Lukasz,I thought as much. Unfortunately this is not an option due the criticality of the document content, the customer won't allow storage in onedrive.Is there any "hacky" way around this WebDAV limitation?Cheers Pasquale

2024-08-16T08:02:42+02:00

Hi,This limitation is due to the restrictions of the WebDAV protocol, which is used to establish communication between MS Word and WEBCON BPS. I recommend using the OneDrive editing option, as described in this article: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/working-with-onedrive-files/341/18.

Migration of SharePoint List data to Webcon

2024-08-15T04:00:14+02:00

Hello,Is it possible to programmatically migrate SharePoint list data to a Webcon BPS dictionary using PowerShell, especially if the fields in both systems are identical. or if not, is it possible to migrate just by exporting SharePoint list data to Excel then import it on Webcon dictionary?Let me know if there are other recommended method to do this and the steps.Thanks in Advance.

[solved] Child flow move parent flow by path depending from current step

2024-08-14T22:29:18+02:00

Hi,I'll add to this, that you could also consider using that query to get the path ID instead of pointing out each step.SELECT PATH_ID,-- WFD_ID,-- STP_ID,-- STP_Name,-- PATH_NameFROM WFElements JOIN WFSteps ON STP_ID = WFD_STPID JOIN WFAvaiblePaths ON PATH_STPID = STP_IDWHERE PATH_Name = 'Zapisz' AND WFD_ID = '{WFD_WFDID}'WFD_WFDID is saved to child instance, when you are starting a workflow as subworkflow (* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartWorkFlow/#workflow-start-mode) or when you pass Parent workflow instance ID when using Hyperlink start element (* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-hyperlink-action/65/3)In case of new steps with save path, this won't require any changes, but you are trading it for possible errors in case of changing name of the path.

Hi Lukasz,thanks for the update. :)For the moment I added an additional check, whether the group contains the expected members.

LDAP as source for users

Send email on new row

2024-08-12T17:44:54+02:00

Hi Daniel,I was reading all the messages again and I saw I didn't wrote correctly what I want to achieve.The idea is to alert another user that a new row was added. I'm not interested in getting the row information on the email, just check if there's a new line to inform the user that he/she needs to go in the instance.I've trying to check the options under the history tables, I think the count for example will simply what I actually need but I'm not sure on how to create a condition where you compare new version with last version for that instance.Did you implemented something like that in your developments?Thank you

When is a user synchronization finished?

2024-08-12T16:25:05+02:00

Hi everyone,I have a process which updates the group members. This is done in async mode because the synchronization takes a while.I'm trying to prevent updates by moving the workflow to a step which checks whether the synchronization is finished.As far as I found out so far a job get's added to the [UserSynchronizationQueueItems] of the current content database and it maybe get's deleted when the job is processed.At least I thought so, because the job got deleted some time after the BPSGroupRelations in the config database had been updated. Unfortunately, the [CacheOrganizationStructureGroupRelations] in the content database still contains the old members for a few seconds. Which makes this check unreliable.Does anyone have a better idea/understanding of the actual process?Best regards,Daniel

Send email on new row

2024-08-12T16:20:52+02:00

Hi Andreia,I sometimes face a situation, where I want to access the data via SQL and the values are not yet written / available for different reasons. In these cases I move those "read" actions from the path to the OnEntry and everything works fine. I'm not sure whether this would apply in this case though. The technical field would be set via a form rule and if you use the for each operator in the automation then you should be able to access the actual value. If it is set to true you could set a automation local parameter and decide whether to send a mail or not using this parameter after the for each operator.The WFHistoryElements shouldn't use a count but should compare the HDT_DETID column of the previous version. In the worst case an old row get's deleted and a new one get's added which would result in the same count.Best regards,Daniel

Send email on new row

2024-08-12T12:29:15+02:00

Hi Daniel,Because the actions do not run sequentially, do you think this works?I had these kind of configurations in the past, but the field was always changed before the email was sent out (when webcon would evaluate to send the email, the flag was already false). I had to configure timeouts and never got this working properly.What is your suggestion using the history? Compare the number of rows?Thank you

Send email on new row

2024-08-12T09:16:30+02:00

Hi,I would implement it in another way. As far as I understand it, this would always set a technical field which in turn invokes the menu action. This would always save the instance, which may not be so good for the use experience.I see two options, one with a technical field as suggested and one without.- Technical field "Has been added"- The field is defined in the item list. - The form rule in the advanced configuration of the item list sets the field to true.- An automation is executed in the OnSave trigger or a path.- This automation checks whether the field is true for any row. Then you could decide whether to send a mail for all rows or for each row separately.- At the end the automation sets the value to false for each row.The alternative would compare the data of the item list against a previous version saved in WFHistoryElementDetails. This would work, but it may be more complex than using the technical field.Best regards,Daniel

2024-08-06T15:04:17+02:00

I agree with Pawe, unless there is no need to scale, container-less will be much easier to maintain for most companies.Managing kubernetes/dockers/pods is skill of it's own, it adds more tools into whole setup which means there will be more places something might break, and debugging it will be harder.If you don't face troubles with performance, easier, better and cheaper will be to avoid that extra complexity, if those will come, then migrate.

Hi Andreia,the way Jack mentioned is the correct way. I prefer another approach though. The reason for this is simply, because I hate changing anything in the steps, because it will be forgotten.I use an HTML field which hides the 'Add row' button with CSS for the item list. This field is then displayed in the field matrix, whenever the item list should be editable but without adding rows in some steps.2189 is the id of the item list.#SubElems_#{WFCON:2189}# .subelem-addRow {display:none;}Best regards,Daniel

Is there any ID or sign tha you can use to recognize the type? If not you can try to read documents and use scripts (ex. python) that recognize languages, or try to use AI libraries. You can also try to use chat GPT modules to recognize language. Possible solution make.com with chat gpt. In all of those cases it is necessary to work on outside BPS. BPS can be used to trigger OCR scripts on your virtual machine, using powershell action.

Reservation system

2024-08-05T15:15:49+02:00

The rule that you showed below uses the information from the form directly. To walidate you need to get information already saved in database. You need do add action with SQL on the path. The action has to take range of dates and places as conditions in your SQL. Notice that action that walidates subelements not always works on path, so you may need to save the list firstly. One of the ways is that You can do this for example by adding branch on your path. Additionally you can add SQL row attribute on the form to show information if certain place is free or not and show alert.Probably you will need also to check every single day in that range. You can do that by joing with dbo.calendars, so tha you will be able to get the list of days from your range and chec for instance if the day is a working day.

Hi,I am trying to configure an OCR action. For my configuration I have followed various instructions in the webcon community, especially: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-ocr-verification-view-for-the-modern-form/71/3.I have seen in the text layer queue report that the status of my documents is "ProcessingPending". I don't see anywhere what is the reason why the status is not changing or that anything is happening with this document.(FineReader is installed and license key is entered).I also wanted to ask if there are any tips for the configuration. In my use case, PDF files are uploaded on which there is an image of an ID card. I want to check if there is a certain text sequence on the badge. If the text is not on it then nothing should happen, but if it is on it there should be an alert and another document should be added.

2024-08-02T11:19:53+02:00

Hi Pawe,As far as I am aware, there is not really much you could do (had exactly same questions).You could set edit mode per workflow basis (It's not per form, as if multiple forms are going through single workflow it is set for all of the forms), no way to limit it to specific users/groups it's the same for all.Dynamic mode is based on assigned tasks - if user have a task, then it will open the form in edit mode, else in read mode. So unless you set it to read, it will work as you have described.You could try to recreate that 'My tasks' pane, as a dashboard - I've prepared a proof of concept which requires some more tinkering but i can't see any other option.* https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3772/15

Global action instance is not saved

2024-08-01T18:30:44+02:00

Hi Joanna,I do have a slight idea what may happen, but its not worth writing about it.What I would do is to start the instance with a path that does nothing at all. The start step has a timeout which would then trigger the actual path. This way the workflow is saved and you will have all the details.This is the basic approach I use for all my technical workflows.Best regards,Daniel

Reports with Chart combining Line & Bar not working

2024-08-01T14:09:26+02:00

To specify how the order influences result.Chart elements are based on the order - first place means it will be rendered at the top 'layer', and last place means it will be rendered at the bottom, so everything will overdrawn by another elements.

you can add a technical field (TRUE by default) and set it to FALSE only if something is wrong. At the end of the loop you return the value of the technical field.I haven't tested this, but maybe something like this will work--- EDIT ---You can also add alert inside last IF

Global action instance is not saved

2024-07-31T15:41:57+02:00

Hi, I have configured an On start (cyclical) action that is basically starting at 12:00AM and stops at 6:00AM, and is doing so every 2 minutes. What it does is to create an instance for the same process (parent process - where is also the global action configured). Parent process is running a loop on a data source that contains 10 entries and starts 10 other instances on a second process (child process). To put it more simple, every 2 minutes a parent instance is created that will create 10 other child instances.Between 12:00 and 3:00 usually there is no entries in data source, so no children are created. But around 3:00AM the database starts to be populated, so there is the moment where children starts to be created. What is weird.. is that the very first parent instance is usually not saved in Webcon (something is happening and I don't know what), but its children are there.. created... and this problem creates for me duplicate children. And for that parent instance, because basically doesn't exist, there is no entry in WF tables so I can search for some bugs, errors, info.. anything that happened. Anyone have any idea why this happens? Thank you!

dbo.WFAttachmentFiles

2024-07-31T13:45:52+02:00

Attachments in the table [BPS_Content].[dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles] were stored there when using the Express WEBCON license.When upgrading to an Enterprise license, a dedicated database for attachments is created, which is why newer attachments may be in the database [BPS_Content_Att].[dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles].You can always migrate attachments from the [BPS_Content].[dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles] database to the [BPS_Content_Att].[dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles] database.

Hi,Yes - I did a test of your case on my DEV (sandbox) environment1. I added the attachment2. I removed the attachment via the action "Remove attachment and leave attachment's history" (the value in the ATF_Value column remained)3. I tried to remove the attachment and all binary data (nothing happens - no attachment found)4. * I marked the attachment as not removed (UPDATE [WFDataAttachmets] SET ATT_IsDeleted = 0 WHERE ATT_ID = xxxx)5. I removed the attachment via the action "Remove attachment and all binary data" and ATF_Value is emptyI don't know if there is another way (in your case), but this one unfortunately requires a manual change in the database, which is NOT RECOMMENDED/SUPPORTED by WEBCON

2024-07-30T12:27:17+02:00

Hi Maria,I can see only one option, as deleting attachments is not possible directly in workflow global scope action.1. Create a technical path on each step, which should be taken into consideration for deleting attachments.2. To that path add an action (from template) - you could delete attachment and historical binary data or only historical binary data (this would leave latest version in the system).3. Create a global action, which would use 'Move workflow (SQL)' action. Within select specify instances which should have attachments deleted. I'd recommend preparing it in a way, that it will run on X instances only, but few times, as processing more than 50 documents in one batch might end up with timeouts.Instead of global action, you could also write some script which would get data from SQL, and move instances using webcon REST API - this way you can avoid timeouts, but it requires more work.In case of already deleted attachments I'm not sure, but sounds like it could require direct update on database, and before doing it globally, i'd try to check how it works on one element on dev env if possible. Manual updates are against best practices, but sometimes it's the only solution and even webcon does it if necessary.You could also think about using archive option, which would delete document from WEBCON, but it's more than just removing attachments.A workaround could be an action that will clone existing document as new one, and delete the old one, but it's not the best solution.

Have you tried this? Did you encounter any issues?What option are you using?

Deleting attachments

2024-07-30T11:47:48+02:00

in this case I'm afraid it might be difficult to do it with standard actions because this attachment is already marked as deleted. The only thing that comes to my mind (BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT RECOMMENDED BY WEBCON) is to manually mark such attachments in the database as IsDeleted = 0 and then delete them again (by action) together with the history.but maybe someone else has a better idea

Q: How Can I Dynamically Retrieve Column Names from Value Form Fields as Parameter for a Universal Business Rule?

Q: How Can I Dynamically Retrieve Column Names from Value Form Fields as Parameter for a Universal Business Rule?

2024-07-26T19:18:20+02:00

Hello everyone,I need your assistance with something. I am currently working on a Business Rule that should return a value using SQL. The Business Rule needs to be as universal as possible, and I want to pass two parameters to the SQL query.So far, so good. The issue is that I want to pass the same form field as a parameter twice: once as a value and once as a "column name" (essentially as an object value that I can transform in SQL with single quotes to something like WFD_AttText4). This way, in the SQL WHERE condition, it would say something like "and WFD_AttText4 = '7512373' ".The problem is that you can only pass values as parameters, not objects. Does anyone know how I can get the column name from my value field? Otherwise, I would have to manually enter the column name, just like in reports.Thank you in advance,Bjoern

[solved] Access to Itemlist values in For Each Operator

I have a process [1] in which you enter qualifications for people. Then I have another process [2] in which qualifications are also entered and when the step is exited, the data from process [2] should be entered into process [1] via a subworkflow.The data that comes from process [2] is in an item list and should all be entered individually (as separate instances) into process [1].Before this, however, a query should be made as to whether the respective instance of the specified person has already been entered in process [1]. Problem: I can't seem to access the value of the item list (qualification) in any form within the For Each, as there is never a value in there as can be seen in the 1st image ('Ausbildung').I've also tried using a Data Source Value Filter, but I can't get a result because the designer can't seem to access the text.Does anyone have any tips for me or is this a bug?

In case the attribute(field) is enough, you could also display it when something was changed. You can use the advanced configuration of the item list to show the field which could be hidden on form load.Best regards,Daniel

2024-07-23T09:41:24+02:00

so you can try some script (Daniel wrote about it and I checked, it works even when the tab is inactive)or (this will be easier) you can simply add a HTML attribute above/below the subelement list that displays e.g. in red "Remember to save the document!"

2024-07-22T21:26:44+02:00

Hi Radel,Im also not sure in which context this is necessary. If they leave the element they should get the message from Jack. This should apply also if the tab is closed.The only situation I could think of, if the users leave the tab open in the background. Then you could get into a situation where you forget to save. In theory you could create some JavaScript to check whether an alert should be created after a specific time. Im not sure that it would work in an inactive tab though. You could test it by setting a timeout to 3 minutes, execute the code and switch to other tabs so that the browser may decide to put these to sleep. Best regards,Daniel

This way you wouldn't need to update the instances.If this isn't an option there's no way around testing even if someone here would give you an answers. You would be doing this at your own risk anyway. :)I would create a copy of the database and restore it in a test environment or create a similar case in the test environment with a new worklfow.Best regards,Daniel

Cannot search using global search

2024-07-19T07:54:56+02:00

Hi Mihai,Adding permissions on a wider scope (global/process/form type level) does not automatically enforce Solr indexation of elements belonging to that scope. So Solr index does not have information that you granted access permissions to a range of elements for new users.Global search is based on Solr search engine, so without manually reindexing those elements, users won't be able to search these documents.Try adding "Index process or entire database" task in SOLR indexer queue (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Reports/Reports_Basics/Reports_SOLRIndexerQueue#6-add). You can select a particular process that you want to reindex.Kind regards

Hi Andreia,I also don't fully understand your request. Based on what I understand I can tell you the following:- Timeouts are only created / deactivated when an path transition happens. Saving an workflow instance or saving a comment in the view mode won't create a new timeout.- Even if you have a timeout checking this every few minutes, this will create a lot of versions. - The "Last comment" is probably not what you assume it is. The last comment will always return the last entered comment regardless of the time /version in which the comment was provided. It will also return the a value if no comment was added in this version.That's the reason why I created a business rule to return the "current comment". If non was added, it returns nothing. I've also used the "send mail on new comment" as an example on how to use it:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/current-comment#example-and-test-casesBest regards,Daniel

I'm facing a similar issue and have no idea to get around it. I'm starting about 15-25 subworkflows and each of them is saved in the initial step and a timeout will move them to the next. Otherwise it would take to long and an execution timeout would happen when the subworkflows would be started.The only thing I was able to do was to use the diagnostic mode to check what takes long and could be improved.One potential option could be to update to BPS 2024:___The second important update is Migration to .NET 8.0., which leverages the latest standards and libraries, and is continuously checked for compliance with current security standards. This update has also brought significant performance benefits. For example, the time required to transition between process steps has been reduced by 25%.___

Add attachments on the specific instances -SDK

Hello,The public constructor for the NewAttachmentData class is no longer available. It is described in section 2.3 in the migration document https://developer.webcon.com/2023/resources/Migration-document_2023.1.pdfIn version 2023, you need to use the GetNewAttachment method from DocumentAttachmentsManager.Your code migrated to version 2023 should look like this: var manager = new DocumentAttachmentsManager(args.Context); NewAttachmentData newAttachmentData = manager.GetNewAttachment(Configuration.informationNecessary.FileName, fileMerge_Necorupt); newAttachmentData.FileGroup = new AttachmentsGroup(Configuration.informationNecessary.GropuName.Split('#')[0], Configuration.informationNecessary.GropuName.Split('#')[1]); await manager.AddAttachmentAsync( new AddAttachmentParams() { Attachment = newAttachmentData, SkipPermissionsCheck = true, DocumentId = Convert.ToInt32(Configuration.informationNecessary.InstanceID) } );PS. Don't forget to use await when using asynchronous methods :)

Disconnecting LICENSE SERVICE ERROR

2024-07-17T10:01:22+02:00

Hi,Generally speaking, License Service role is handled by a thread of a WEBCON Workflow Service. This means that you can get license service error in two cases:- a thread responsible for License Service dies,- WEBCON Workflow Service is not responding at all (or is turned off).The second case can happen on any WEBCON BPS version and for multiple reasons. Since we're talking about errors every "few seconds", a possible scenario is an infinite loop operation (like timeout actions) or other heavy operations which make Workflow Service to consume too much resources (or even memory leak) and crash. These are just examples, it'd require more diagnostics, such as monitoring resource usage, availability of other service roles etc.However, on builds 2023.1.3 (up to and including .202) we recognized an issue that may lead to killing a License Service thread, leading to this error. This may happen when some particular service operations exceed a time limit set in "Service operations timeout in seconds" (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/SystemSettings/ServiceConf/SystemSettings_ServiceManagDetails#2-miscellaneous). Most common reasons are:- a recurrent (cyclical) action that creates/moves too many workflow elements or actions executed on these elements are too time-consuming- a text layer is put on a PDF file and SOLR indexing of that text layer exceeds the limit.That's why Tomasz and Przemysaw suggested increasing the limit. In some cases this may be enough. But it may happen that there are still some configuration/optimization issues on the environment and some operations done by the Workflow Service are taking too much time.It'd be a good idea to take a peek at action executions statistics (WFActionExecutions table) and recurrent action definitions (WFRecurrentActionsDefinitions table) and analyze if there are actions with long average duration times. Better optimization (lower automation times, lower amount of elements proceeded simultaneously) may give better results.What's most important is that the issue with license service thread being killed will be addressed in next 2023.1.3 publication (builds higher than .202), so I'd suggest that every environment that's currently on 2023.1.3 should be upgraded to that version.Kind regards

Hi,If this is the first step and the process is not saved in the database yet, you have to use some path (e.g. a rule to change the field value using "move to next step").If it is already saved (has a signature), you can simulate pressing the save button in the top menu or use the path again.Just out of curiosity, why do you need it?

How to block the possibility of choosing current day while after 9.00 A.M

2024-07-16T10:57:39+02:00

This code checks if the selected date is today and if the current time is after 9:00 A.M., blocking form submission if both conditions are true. Otherwise, it allows the form to be submitted:function validateForm() { var selectedDay = document.getElementById('dayField').value; var today = new Date(); var selectedDate = new Date(selectedDay); if (selectedDate.toDateString() === today.toDateString()) { var currentTime = today.getHours(); if (currentTime >= 9) { alert("You cannot select today after 9:00 A.M."); return false; } } return true;}// Attach this function to your form's onsubmit eventdocument.getElementById('yourFormId').onsubmit = validateForm;

Hello all,I have a process that can be started either from a Parent workflow or in the workflow, using a menu option (creating a sub-task).In the start step, I have editability rules, if the user is creating a sub-task, some fields can be edited, but if the task has come from another process, those fields cannot be changed.In the URL, I'm passing the ID when the user creates a sub-task to a field in order to use it as editability parameter. However, although the field has information on it, I'm not able to make the fields editable.This is only working when I use instance from parent workflow. I cannot use this last option because this always come from another process and only when it's a subtask, the fields can be changed.Do you have any ideas on why this is not working?

Generate an Excel from an Itemlist

Hi, thanks for all your answers and iteas. The"allow export excel" will not work, because i have to generate the excel automatically and then send it to our customer, depending on a path in the Workflow. Also it seems that i can not map the corresponding excel field for each column in the template because i do not know how much rows i have in the itemlist - or is there a way to use e.g. asterix to use a dynamic way for the targetfields in excel. i'll try that.The "best" way seems to be, that i use some technical fields or a technical list which i then can map to the excel.

2023.1.3.202: Data row and data table no longer support all HTML elements

2024-07-15T06:48:23+02:00

Hi Jarosaw,I don't see any real option to work around it.1) It would only help, if you could inject the workaround in all processes without touching them. If you need to modify them then you can also change the SQL so that you don't need a workaround.2) The work around should also work when there are multiple item lists in tabs, when new rows are added/ switching to "edit all rows" and in single edit mode. While it would be feasible for item list in tabs, by using a HTML field below the item list, it will get ugly for new rows/edit all rows it would get even uglier for the single edit mode.This is one example how we need to change it: Before: After: While implementing this I noticed that not only HTML elements are checked but also the attributes of those. If you still see the HTML instead of the supported element then you need to remove attributes. For whatever reason, we had the onClick on the i element.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Patryk,are you sure the APPLICATION ID you provided is correct?I could only see "Counterparty Card" instead of "Counterpart Card|ID|". As shown in the attached picture, the application ID should be part of the link.Additionally, there was no need for an extra slash ("/") before "db" in my link, but that might be specific to my configuration. It might be worth trying to remove the extra slash if there are still issues, even with the correct application ID.I hope this helps.Best regards,Bjoern

2023.1.3.202: Data row and data table no longer support all HTML elements

2024-07-12T19:23:38+02:00

Hi Everyone,Great post from Daniel! However, do you see a potential workaround for this "sanitization" done by WEBCON? It was not explicitly reported in the changelog, so it is really annoying. We are stuck with deployment of the new application versions because updating PROD system will break our application.I could imagine the following "trick":1. The data row fields should return initially "safe" DOM elements like . It is possible to assign id's to such DOM elements.2. Create a form rule (JavaScript) that will cycle through such DOM elements and alter the innerHTML content with the original active content we want3. Put the form rule from point 2 into Behavior tab of your formI tested it for a single list item line and it seems to work - see example JavaScript function. But it is really tricky and uglysetTimeout(function () {elem = document.getElementById( 'AA' + GetPairID(G_WFELEM) );console.log( elem );if ( elem != null ){elem.innerHTML = 'My button'}}, 10 );Please note, that the delay can be set as small as 10ms or maybe less. The rendering looks correct.Any better ideas so far?

The Sunday / Saturday have been not where I expected them to be in the picker. :)A little information, why I suggested the JavaScript instead of the business rule.I had some bad experience with determining the day of a week with SQL as it depends on the culture of the server or something alike. There's a workaround for this but in JavaScript no workaround is required for it. At least as far as I know. :)

But that scenario happens only in SSMS.Webcon has problem reading it and won't make it work.What I want to achieve is to do an If statement inside style and behaviour to check whether the day provided in the form is a weekend or not.If is the weekend, then false, if not then true.

Dynamic Tooltipp?

2023.1.3.202: Data row and data table no longer support all HTML elements

2024-07-09T06:59:17+02:00

Hi everyone,Jarosaw created a threat in which he points out that elements are no longer rendered if they are used in an item list data row column.:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5247I tested the most common/likely elements and to verify which are supported by using this SQL query:select 'a tag' + ''+'button tag' + ''+'div tag' + ''+'' + ''+'img tag' + ''+'input tag' + ''+'p tag' + ''+'span tag' + ''+'strong tag' + ''+ '.class'+char(123)+'display:none'+ char(125)+'' +'nested styles tag'+'div tag'+'button tag'+'strong tag'+'' + ''as testSupported are:adiviimgpspanstrongNot supported are:buttoninputstyleElements which are not supported are rendered as text. This also applies if the elements are nested. There's probably sanitization applied before rendering the result.Affected fields are:1) Data table2) Data row3) Item list column: Data rowYou can make use of the below SQL commands to check whether you are using one of the listed unsupported types. select APP_Name as [Application], DEF_Name as Process, WFCON_Prompt Field, WFCON_SelectOrCamlfrom WFConfigurations join WFDefinitions on WFCON_DEFID = DEF_IDjoin WFApplications on DEF_APPID = APP_IDwhere WFCON_FieldTypeID in (select TypeId from DicWFFieldTypes where EnglishName in ('Data row','Data table')) and (WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%style>%' or WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%style >%' or WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%button>%' or WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%button >%' or WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%input>%' or WFCON_SelectOrCaml like '%input >%' )select APP_Name as [Application], DEF_Name as Process, WFCON_Prompt ItemList, FDD_Name ColumnName, DCN_SelectOrCamlfrom WFDetailConfigs join WFFieldDetailDefinitions on FDD_ID = DCN_FDDIDjoin WFConfigurations on DCN_WFCONID = WFCON_IDjoin WFDefinitions on WFCON_DEFID = DEF_IDjoin WFApplications on DEF_APPID = APP_IDwhere DCN_FieldDetailTypeID = (select TypeId from DicFieldDetailTypes where EnglishName = 'Data row') and (DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%style>%' or DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%style >%' or DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%button>%' or DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%button >%' or DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%input>%' or DCN_SelectOrCaml like '%input >%' )If you really want to make sure, remove the where condition targeting the SelectOrCaml column, copy the result to notepad++ and replace < with line break

Dynamic Tooltipp?

2024-07-08T20:54:13+02:00

Hi Gerd,you could achieve something like this with an HTML and JavaScript, but there's no out of the box way for this. In this special case though I would suggest another field for a simple reason. VAT can change over time and if users take a look at old instances the provided information will be wrong.Best regards,Daniel

Copy content between processes?

2024-07-08T20:48:19+02:00

Hi Gerd,I'm not sure when you want to copy the information. 1. Do you want to start a new process based on an old one?You can simply use the start workflow actions to populate the fields.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartWorkFlow/https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartManyWorkFlows/You can take a look here how we have been using this to start a new process based on an existing one. The audio is in German, but I guess, that this isn't an issue. ;)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTwkx6WBlvc&t=660s2. Do you want to update an already existing process from another and the user is in the second process?In this case you can use the "update related workflow instance" action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/UpdateParentWorkflow/3. Are the users in the process to which values should be copied? Than you could use the "change values of multiple fields" action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Form/Action_ChangeManyValuesBest regards,Daniel

Dynamic Tooltipp?

2024-07-08T14:36:57+02:00

Hi guys,is it possible to display a dynamic tooltip/information via the description on a form field?I should display a value including VAT on a value field that has no VAT and i don't want to use a new field.e.g. something like that: "Amount incl. VAT : {FD:166} * 1.19"Is there perhaps another way to display a tooltip on a form field other than via the field description?

Copy content between processes?

2024-07-08T13:15:25+02:00

Hi guys,Is there an easy way to copy content from one process to another, e.g. using the WFDID?For example, to copy the content of a text field from process 1 to a text field in process 2 using an action.Our users would like to have a feature to copy content from older processes to current ones if it is similar content. A kind of "copy template".

Dynamic generation of HTML code using data row field type no longer working in version 2023.1.3.202

We use in one of our applications the option to generate HTML code (for example extra buttons performing some actions) in list item lines. For this purpose, data row field type was working well. For example such code:SELECT '➕➖' AS XXGenerated two nice buttons with + and - that performed some actions.With the current version 2023.1.3.202 WEBCON adds extra " signs, so the entire code is quoted and displayed as text and not intepreted as HTMLI would appreciate any idea how to solve the issue

Filter REST API data source using WEBCON

2024-07-05T13:52:26+02:00

Hi,you can make use of global business rules and form field values in a data source.The attached screenshot is from a REST data source and the field is selected from "All form fields" . If the data source is executed, it takes the value of the field (table column) of the current instance. So the data source is no longer generic but specialized for this one process, but you can make use of these.I don't know since when the "All form fields" option is available but I did not notice it before last year. :)Best regards,Daniel

Filter REST API data source using WEBCON

2024-07-05T10:06:45+02:00

Hi,I had a similar case. It ended up with the same idea you are writing about - a separate technical table for storing data from the REST API and next SELECT on this table and join the WEBCON tables with other data.In my case, the data was updated once a day by global actionI also thought about the SDK custom data source, but the table was easier/faster ;)Theoretically, webcon has the ability to enable filtering REST data source on the BPS side, but you can't even use business rules there, so you can't combine it with SQL query.Maybe someone has another idea...

Filter REST API data source using WEBCON

2024-07-04T16:18:50+02:00

Hi, I am currently working on some tool management workflow in WEBCON and I have a problem. I have an items list with REST API as data source where user can pick and book tools for some time period. Time period property is not included in REST API so I'm using form fields for booking dates. Then I need to filter the items list using tools from REST API and dates from WEBCON database to exclude unavailable tools. Unfortunately i didn't find the way to do it using the REST API filter available in WEBCON. My plan is to create some table in WEBCON, fill it with data from API and then use SQL for filtering. Is there maybe a better way to do it?

Hello all,I'm not sure if this is something that changed in the versions or I'm missing any configuration.I checked that users with the access 'Access and Edit all Instances' are allowed to select Available Paths even if they're not the assigned person.I know that although having the rights to edit the instances, it couldn't be moved and that yellow message was shown because another person was the assignee. This is not happening in my processes and I'm not sure if that was something changed with the new releases or I'm missing any configuration.I want a department to be able to check and edit instances but if they are assigned to another person, they cannot move the request to another step.Did you faced something like that?Thank you

Add user to bps group action: Times out in synchronous mode

2024-07-03T06:36:28+02:00

Hi Karol,I have thought about it and also making the action asynchronous. It should work in theory but I'm having second thoughts about it because of a theoretical problem.If the synchronization doesn't finish before the workflow instance is updated again, the user may get added twice to the BPS group.It's probably not a real issue and I may decide to change the current configuration.Best regards,Daniel

Add user to bps group action: Times out in synchronous mode

2024-07-02T17:01:20+02:00

I overlooked something.The action triggers the synchronization of the group and afterwards the synchronization of the added user. This started a download from Azure AD which causes the delay. - (7/2/2024 2:33:46 PM) Step started: Download selected objects from Azure AD if required - (7/2/2024 2:35:44 PM) Step completed: Download selected objects from Azure AD if required (duration: 118687 ms)What's interesting is that changing the group members via the Portal creates only one synchronization job /entry. Improving the download from Azure AD is probably not possible, so we will have to cope with this.

Hi everyone,maybe someone of you has a guess what we can do.- We have an environment with 6 content databases- We have a process which manages the members of a BPS group.- We use the Add/Remove single user to BPS groups to add a single user in synchronous mode (1)- Even so the action times out after 50 seconds it's marked as completed successfully in the history (2)- The duration of the corresponding synchronization of took about 2 minutes (3)- According to the 'Details' the synchronization took 9 seconds. Started at 33:46 and ended 33:55 (4)The big question is why does the individual synchronization take 2 minutes to complete.

How to Initialize a table that returns all days between two dates

2024-07-02T06:30:10+02:00

Hi,even so this is solved I wanted to add two comments:SaaSYou don't have privileges to modify the database. The action for executing SQL or PowerShell are not available.Adding functions views to the databaseThis is something you do at your own discretion and sometimes it's necessary. For example if you need to use the row_number function you have to use a few.If you are using this option, you may consider this approach:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/deploying-database-scriptsI haven't updated the mentioned application in a long time.Best regards,Daniel

Hello all,I have a data table field where I'm selecting the fields using a SQL query. One of the field is a picker and I want to show just the Text and not the ID.I've tried many options but as soon as I try using the Database-Name, it's giving errors. I believe it's because the option has space on it : 'Non Ok'.But the system should overcome this right? Even using the DBO function, it doesn't work.Adding quotes is not allowed.

Reports Advanced Cell Coloring - Custom column

2024-06-24T15:47:07+02:00

Hello all,I have a use case where for a parent workflow (let's say order) I'm starting many child workflows (suborders).There are some details which i don't want to duplicate on suborders like 'customer' for example - it should be stored only on order, but not on suborders.In the reports i have one report for orders, second one for suborders - on suborders I'm able to show 'customer' using custom column. With SQL like this:(SELECT dbo.ClearWFElem(WFD_AttChoose2) /* Customer */FROM WFElements JOIN WFSteps ON WFD_STPID = STP_ID JOIN WorkFlows ON WF_ID = STP_WFIDWHERE WF_GUID = 'af556142-7ad9-44e1-9xy2-550c2cxz361cf' AND /* GUID WF Order */ WFD_ID = wfelems.WFD_AttChoose5_ID /* Field Order Relation */)This works pretty good, although i can't get a grasp how to make it work with Advanced Cell Coloring.On Orders view, i'm using this:{ "children": [ { "element": "span", "style": { "color": "red" }, "attributes": { "iconName": "=if(WFD_AttBool2 == true, 'FastForward', '')" } } ]}But on suborders there is no WFD_AttBool2 if i understand it well. I've tried using _12 (this is the alias of the column generated by webcon), but no luck.Any ideas how to make it work? :)

If you want to use Active Directory integration (AD users synchronization, AD Actions), the server with the WEBCON BPS Portal installed has to be a domain member.If you want to use eg. Entra ID (former Azure Active Directory), you can install WEBCON BPS on a standalone server.

Different BpsID formats between environments

I'll add to this, that changing the config might not be enough (i'm not aware of that one though).There are already entries in database which have that domain\name format, and changing now to name@doman might break any filters, comparsion and other business rules which depend on fields containing users.This might require updates on WFElements. I've been using Domain Users as data source for pickers and after one of latest updates those are reaaaaly slow (like 3 seconds to open a form) and I'm migrating to Users and Groups.Facing same challange - updating WFElements from doman\name into name@domain.

Hi Pawe,you can update a local or related attachment column by setting the ID of the attachment.Local are attachments which are limited to the attachments of the current workflow, while you can choose the source of the related attachment in the configuration of the column.I have to admit, I don't understand the query itself. It seems to be completely wrong then again there's a different query in the screenshots.As far as I understand it from the screenshot query you are adding the attachment ids of the parent workflow to the item list. If the column is a local attachments this won't work. Best regards,Daniel

Hi Pawel,I don't think I fully understood what you want to achieve, but for starters:1. if you want to display attachments from another workflow, check what type of column you have selected (screen)2. you should add the condition DET_WFCONID = {id of your item list} to the query

2024-06-18T12:21:21+02:00

Hi,You cannot have GET because that would be one specific case of POST, in terms of filtering of the current datasource: - GET would mean no filter applied, so the datasource should return all its available values - POST means that, as Maksymilian stated before, you can supply your filtering values in a scenario where the current datasource comes second/third/etc and previous choices contribute as filters - imagine 2 dropboxes in a row, where second dropbox items list is constructed based on the first dropbox selected value; if there is nothing to filter, then the POST body is just empty JS object, {}Having these scenarios, makes no sense of creating the GET endpoint equivalent of already implemented POST, GET being a specific case of POST... And there's no much difference between doing a POST with an empty body vs. GET, isn't it?Can't say anything about people fields, but I see no special notes under swagger, the API docs say "Any of 4.0.PickerField", so it should work as "Person or Group" sits under "Picker Fields".Regards,Mihail

I'm after consulting this topic through webcon support.So, that request is POST, due to possibility of passing an example of a filled document - when it's required to get filtered data source.It's hinted in swagger - there is whole document structure in the request body, but i thought it might be a mistake - it's not, it's a feature :)By passing empty object - data source will return values as if it was empty form, when the body is specified - filters should also work.So - it expects to receive data, then it should be using POST, as GET requests shoudn't really contain body part (https://stackoverflow.com/a/983458 this links to specific RFC docs further)

Hi Tomasz,thanks for the feedback. I do have a business logic class, but no "official" model. I just converted the JSON object to a string in the REACT component and then deserialized the string in the backend again. I used this simply to transfer the information to the backend. I didn't even save the value. public override Task VerifySaveRestrictionsAsync(ControlSaveRestrictionsParams args) { var fieldValue = args.Context.CurrentFormField.GetValue() as string; // Clear the token. args.Context.CurrentFormField.SetValue(null);As soon as I find the time, I will test it using a real model.

Hi,does someone of you use a FormFieldExtensionJS for a multiline text field? We used this one to store a JSON as a string and in 2023.1.3 the plugin no longer works.I haven't checked the WEBCON BPS JS code in 2023.1.2 but in the new version:1. the change function in the plugin triggers controller.change2. this calls validateCCValueModel 3. Since the hasCustomModel is undefined 4. The default validation is applied and this validation fails.In the "past" I returned a string and now it seems that an Object is expected with a "comments" array.I see no option to set "hasCustomModel" to true. The "change" function (1) has only one parameter and I have no idea how I could triggere the "changeFormField" directly so that I could provide "options".Has someone else run into this? Edit:In the mean time I changed the newData so that the checks are successful and I now stumbled about the fact, that the value is not stored in the field.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Sawek,It is possible to override CSS, to make them bigger, but it seems like miniatures are really compressed to 'miniature' size, so it doesn't really look good.I've used this CSS to achieve it:.dynamic-form div.table-tree-row>div.table-tree-column .attachment-tile>.attachment-icon>img:not(.attachment-icon__onedrive) { width: 100% !important; height: 100% !important; max-height: none !important; max-width: none !important;}.dynamic-form div.table-tree-row>div.table-tree-column .attachment-tile>.attachment-icon { width: 200px !important; height: 200px !important;}After some more tweaking, it's even possible to update those images with JavaScript (I've created global rule, and used in on form load).This although will load full sized images as previews, so that might cause some performance issues. I've tested it for image formats only - for .pdf this will only enlarge pdf icon according to .css.function observe() { let images = document.querySelectorAll('.attachment-icon>img.image'); if (images !== undefined) { images.forEach(a => a.src = a.src.replace('miniature?hash=0', 'preview')) observer.disconnect(); }}let observer = new MutationObserver(observe);observer.observe(document, { attributes: true, childList: true, subtree: true });

Report error

2024-06-07T08:57:13+02:00

Hello,Here is something I've come across recently, if you have a report that uses a field that got changed to a data row then:1. the report will be in an error state2. you can't remove the column from report configuration panel.I understand that such a column is not allowed in a report, but at least let me exclude it from the report.The only way to fix this is to change the column back to something accepted, like single line, and then you can delete the column and then change it to data row in order to keep your report.In this case the error GUID will show: "...Invalid column name 'SEL_SQLRow'." version: 2023.1.3.169, but I don't think the version matters.I hope we get the option, at some point, to manually remove such column from your report if it was added before when it was not a data row :)Have a great day!p.s just realized that a report tile will keep showing the value from the report, even if the report is broken :)

How can I set up an action to generate data into a .docx file or specify an attribute for the list of items in the .docx file so that the exported table with the list of items X is sorted by column A in ascending order?The descending sort by column A is because the data is being added to the table in the form, and there is already a lot of it - scrolling to the end of the form to see the most recent data didnt make sense. However, when exporting this to a .docx file for the Office, I need it to be sorted by column A in ascending order.Thanks!

Add privileges action - Members of the group do not have acces to the instance

2024-06-05T09:45:04+02:00

Hi, I have one major problem with the Add privileges action.It works when I add privileges to single users but doesn't apply when I choose a group as a USER / SQL query. On the Instance level there is information that the Group has privileges but members of the group do not have access to the instance. Additionally when I add privileges to the group manually users of the group can see the contents. Where am I making a mistake?ver. 2023.1.3.169

Edge case in order of operations

2024-06-05T07:43:05+02:00

Those children workflows are 2 step - Active/Non active.I'm having a [Validate] path (from Active to Active), which is being triggered from parent - if children workflows are not filled correctly, then parent workflow shouldn't be able to move further.Validation error is displayed with link to specific element, which should be corrected :)Seems like no other way than moving that action to 'On entry' of almost all steps unfortunately.

Edge case in order of operations

2024-06-04T21:53:10+02:00

Hm, one last idea would be to trigger the child validation not in path trigger but in the onentry trigger. I know that I had to move some actions to it, so that I could the access the data with a sql command.Btw. I what will halten if the validation in the children fails? Will the child workflow be moved to some other step or should it not be possible to save the parent workflow?If the child workflows would be moved, you could also use a timeout in the step of the parent workflow. Which then triggers the child validation path.But either idea wont work, if the default save action is used.Best regards,Daniel

Hiding Paths based on previous step

2024-06-04T15:30:50+02:00

Hi JanI'm currently having almost exactly same use case, to solve it I'm using two things:1. 'Back to the previous step' configuration on a path 'Send back with comment' - you will need only one 'Send back' path, instead of one per possible step. (As Jacek already mentioned).2. If that 'LEGAL Check' step is part of regular process, and not only invoked by those paths it would be good to display users in 'LEGAL Check' only paths which should be allowed in specific case.a) standard processing - regular pathsb) workflow have been sent back to 'LEGAL Check' - Hide regular paths, and show only those 'Reject', and 'Send back with comment'This requires visibility rule on a step which in my case looks like attachment.I'm checking if previous path name had a pattern 'Cofnij%'.

2024-06-04T15:13:23+02:00

Thanks Daniel, Pawe for responses, I'm still not thinking about transactions as a standard troubleshooting, so i didn't even considered it yet.Really interesting idea, unfortunately it seems that saving happens later - WITH (NOLOCK) didn't helped here.I'm not using any form rules here, although using 'Current path' with 'On Entry' looks promising it requires setting it on every possible step which is something i'm trying to avoid.This will make further development and maintenance harder, as I'll have to remember it's configured in X places.

Hiding Paths based on previous step

2024-06-04T13:02:49+02:00

Hi Jan,You have two choices:1. Use SQL and check fields WFD_HistorySteps or WFD_HistoryPaths (storing previous steps/paths)2. It may be easier to use the option "Back to the previous step" (screen)

Hiding Paths based on previous step

2024-06-04T12:50:47+02:00

Hey, I am creating a workflow where I would like to give option [Send Back for LEGAL Check] on different steps (Screen shot added ). However, I want to create a restriction so on the legal check step users can see only paths related to the step that it came from. Not all paths because that would be extremely confusing (screenshot of all paths added). So for clarification if the flow was send to "legal check" from step "Business Approval" I want user on the "legal check" step only to see paths: "Send back to business approval with comment", "Approve send to manager approval" and "Reject". Would be grateful for help. Kind regards, JS

import files from a folder into the Webcon app

2024-06-04T08:51:49+02:00

Hi SlawekIn the past, in many projects we had to import elements along with multiple documents. We used different approaches.1. We created a set of powershell cmdlets (connect to portal, create and update elements, upload documents), which basically use Rest API calls, but the handling is easier. We then use powershell to read the original metadata, create the elements and upload the documents.2. We have an SDK action to read files from file shares, so we used this one to import the documents in a timerout action. This option allows to quickly create the elements and the time consuming part is done afterwards.

Hi Maks,there could be one option for your case, even so it's not ideal. In some cases I've chosen to use dirty reads. This will read data which will be written to the database in another transaction.https://www.sqlshack.com/understanding-impact-clr-strict-security-configuration-setting-sql-server-2017/SELECT * FROM LockTestDemo WITH (NOLOCK)Most of the time this is really bad, but if you are sure, that the data won't be changed in any other way in the parent form, then this could help you out.You would use the "WITH (NOLOCK)" hint in the child workflow validation action to access the data of the parent form.You will have to test it, whether this actually helps you.Best regards,Daniel

Hello community! I'm facing a challenge for which i don't see any solutions, maybe You will be able to find it.Use case:User registers new form (parent), to that form, he needs to register additional forms (children). It's 2 level tree childrens are leafs, they can't be parents.On those children forms, there are validation rules, which depends on data from the parent form, and a path [Validate] which checks for required fields.To make sure that children forms are filled properly - when I'm moving the parent form to further steps I'm invoking that [Validate] path on all childrens to make sure, that data is filled correclty.It works almost perfectly, but there is an edge case.When user registers parent form, then children forms and moves parent to further steps - no problems.When user registers parent form, then children forms, and edits field on parent form which is used to validate children forms - validation rule passes even when it shouldn't.From what I've read here* it seems that 'On path' automations are executed before form values are saved into the database.So I'm executing that [Validate] path before data is updated with new value. I can't really move it to 'On entry' of next step, because the next step might be dynamic - I'm using 'Previous step' configuration path target.Any ideas what could i try here? :)* https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/pending-in-transaction-vs-pending-after-transaction/347/3

Hi Sawek,In case you don't want to start a workflow with each file - you need to attach them to existing ones, then you could try using API.Either executed by some external script, script executed by webcon (powershell action), or through another system./api/data/v5.0/db/{dbid}/elements/{id}/attachmentsDetails here: https://portal.webconbps.com/api/index.html?urls.primaryName=API%20v5.0

Hi all!Maybe I didn't read the manual carefully and maybe this question has been asked many times before, but I am asking it anyway ;-)Is there a way in Webcon BPS Portal to start a workflow with anonymous access (without authentication)?What we need here is some kind of public form for new registration of users. This form also should have path authorization, to verify a new registered user (e.g. by sending a code via email). But I think this only user-related and only works with already registered users.I know there is a new feature called 'Public link', but this isn't exactly, what I am looking for, since it only deals with existing instances and sharing / assigning tasks to users / emails outside the system.Is this scenario even possible with Webcon?Thanks a lot in advance & BR, Nik

Choice field - value change

Hi Marza,maybe you could add your own use case to this user voice. The user voice is about adding an own function to set only the id as I never encountered an issue with the display name. Ok, I never used and I assumed that it wouldn't cause an issue as the choose value without a # is returning null for the id and the value for the name.https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/4936/15Best regards,Daniel

Hi Marcin,as you mentioned, Entry ID was formerly Azure AD and the documentation wasn't updated in this regard.Let me add a few things to those Maks already mentioned.App registration.If you want, you can use the same app registration for authorization and user synchronization. Public CloudHas a multi tenant app registration which only requires the consent of an admin. This app registration can not be used for user synchronization. You can replace this with an own app registration.You can restart the services from the WEBCON APPS Administration panel.https://portal.webconapps.com/db/1/app/7Best regaards,Daniel

Hi Marcin,I've configured webcon (freemium) on Azure VM's, and on local servers, where AAD was the only used authentication without any troubles.It is rather simple, and those instructions from 2021 should still apply - no breaking changes in this area if i recall correctly.There are 2 things you should do:* Configure Authentication* Configure Users SynchronizationThis boils down to creating 2 separate app registrations on the Entra ID* First one (auth) should have Delegated User.Read API permissions* Second one (sync) should have both Application and Delegated (screenshot from docs in attachments)Both are described here: PL: https://kb.webcon.pl/integracja-webcon-bps-z-azure-active-directory/EN: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/webcon-bps-integration-with-azure-active-directory/119/3I'm nearly sure, that Webcon SaaS (the one that is hosted and managed by webcon) have to allow syncing from EntraID, as it would be much simpler than cofiguring it to work with on prem AD, although I've never used it maybe someone with experience in this area will give some insights.What do you mean by 'free online instance'?

Or maybe no one uses WebCon without local domains?Impossible!So... How to build WebCon BPS with EntraID as the only source of identity?I have some ideas for preparing some business processes in a cloud environment (Azure) that will never have access to classic domain controllersI need a full user database on EntraID (AAD).I tried with the free online instance of WebCon togeter with quite outdated manual. It requires restarting some services as soon as you add AAD authentication to BPM - I didn't even have a way to check if it works because I can't restart services on public cloud infrastructure... so the project was abandoned.Is there any way to go further with that in SaaS model?Do I need to build everything from scratch (on PaaS/IaaS) ?MS

Hi Mathias,I once had some trouble with pictures in my email templates. For me, the BASE64 format was the solution.This integrates the picture as text-based code directly in the HTML file, so no permission errors could happen.By the way, I used this technique also for placing pictures in app dashboards without needing to upload the picture to the server.It might be worth a try for your problem.If you change the picture regularly, the attached picture shows how to easily convert it within WEBCON BPS.If you just need the BASE64 version of your picture, you can use a website like:https://www.base64-image.de/ - English versionYou can upload up to 20 images (max. 1.00 MB each) as JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, or BMP.Hope it works for you,Bjoern

Hi,So far webcon does not have a dedicated solution/integration with panda doc.In my opinion, the best thing to do is to analyse what integration possibilities panda doc has, and then consider whether it is possible to integrate and support the signature process using the standard webcon bps solution, or whether an add-on is required, etc.From what I have seen on the panda doc website, it also has a community, so you can find out there.https://support.pandadoc.com/hc/en-us/community/topicsRegards.

Hi Wojtek,there's no build in option for deleting old versions.If it's possible I would delete the whole workflow using the archive action with retention mode.Coincidently a similar question was asked today:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/4975If you need the data, then the only option would be to do something on the database level. But I would not recommend it and you should test this how the system behaves, if there are gaps in the version numering.Best regards,Daniel

GUIDs are of course attribute GUID, and element ID should be specified within url.

Dear Agnieszka, now I get your point. :)Can't tell you about JavaScripts here. Also not sure if this is a good option in your process but maybe setting a default value or setting a value like 'Other' (included in source for this choice field) in this case could be useful somehow. Until user will have to select a valid value for this field (on next steps?). That way you can validate this field at later steps.

Webcon 2023.1.3. Validation of off-source data in Choice field

2024-05-28T10:48:06+02:00

Hi, in this version, data verification takes place for each field of the type: Choice field, regardless of whether 'Attribute validation' is selected on the path or not.I need advice on how to get around this problem in the case of paths such as: Reject, Reverse, where these fields contain random data, e.g. set via OCR - without any intervention in the fields by the user.Regards

Infinite timeouts

2024-05-28T10:23:42+02:00

Hi Daniel,I have created infinite timeout by accident in exactly the way you described. I would like to remove this timeout and therefore would like to move the instance to the other step. Unfortunately, due to above, instance version count reached 2374796 resulting in the following error while trying the move: System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int16.Is there a way to change manually version count or to delete excessive instance versions?

Tip: Finding webcon version of .bpe package

Tip: Finding webcon version of .bpe package

2024-05-28T08:23:17+02:00

Hi,sometimes when trying to import an older .bpe package you might encounter error message like this: "The version of the import package does not match the installed WEBCON BPS version.".It's somewhat helpful, we know the reason, but we don't know the version of the package, in case we would like to be able to use it there is a need to setup an environment with that specific version, and update it.So how do we find a version number in .bpe package?First let's start with extracting it. Did you know that .bpe is just zipped file? ;)Change that .bpe extension to .zip, and use any tool like 7zip, or built in windows features.Inside you will find a file without any extension - it is a text file, especially xml - open it up with any text editor, and search form PackageVersion node (see attachment).Based on BranchNumber, and BuildVersion you are able to specify which Webcon version have been used to export that specific .bpe package.You might also use this powershell script:$path = '.\bps_package.bpe'Expand-Archive -Path $path -DestinationPath . -Force[xml]$xml = Get-Content $path.substring(0, $path.length-4)$xml.SelectSingleNode('//PackageVersion')

Tip: Prevent ; and # in fields referenced in choose fields

2024-05-27T13:16:30+02:00

Hi,in case you have choose fields, which reference information from another workflow you should prevent the user from entering special characters.Example: A subworkflow is linked to a parent workflow with a choose field and uses the Title field as the display name.If a user enters ; or # in the value of the field, this will break the choose field logic. The system will be interpreted as a delimiter for a new choose field.This can be achieved by using a regular expression. RegEx:^[^;#]+$Best regards,Daniel

Invalid form field order

2024-05-26T16:50:05+02:00

Hi Rafa,yes, I have run into it in some versions. The temporary workaround was to directly go into the database and correct the order. There had been two fields with the same order number in the same placeholder. After fixing this it was working fine for some time. If I remember correctly it was somehow related to the attachments field, but I'm not sure.I encountered it in BPS 2023 and it was fixed later. Unfortunately, we still have a customer which we can't simply update. :(I found this note in the change log:WEBCON BPS 2022 R4history of changes for version 2022.1.4.311 Fixed an error that occurred when changing the order of Form fields on the form. This fix will clear up duplicate field ordinal numbers, therefore the order of existing fields may changeBest regards,Daniel

Hi,Regarding the issue:I don't see an issue with statement either. Maybe you can active the diagnostic mode from the user avatar. It should display the executed SQL statement. This way you could check what was executed.@KarolIf I remember correctly there was some bug when a check was added to the single line of text field to limit it 250 characters or so. This limit was also applied to multi line text field in an item list.Best regards,Daniel

Problem with refreshing the data table field after changing the value of another field

2024-05-24T09:27:45+02:00

Hi, If the query looks like you describe, theoretically the data should change according to the change in the attribute data.At least it works for me in my tests.I am puzzled by this limitation you write about because the multi-text field is this ntext, meaning it can hold up to 2 GB of data, so if this is where the problem is, maybe the data is not able to load due to the amount of data?Regards.

Start/Finish OneDrive

2024-05-21T13:37:27+02:00

Hello!I'm currently implementing a workflow where I first create a Word document with form fields, initiating with the 'Start editing a file using OneDrive' action. This allows me to access and edit the Word file directly from my OneDrive folder, and everything works perfectly at this stage.However, I encounter a problem in the subsequent step of my workflow. After making modifications to the Word document, I aim to generate a PDF from the updated file. I am using the 'Finish editing a file using OneDrive' action that i can create my pdf. If I do not make any changes to the Word file in OneDrive, the generation works flawlessly. But if I modify the document and immediately proceed to the next step, I run into an error (picture).I've noticed that if I allow some time after making changes before moving to the PDF generation step, the process completes successfully. This suggests a synchronization delay with OneDrive.Questions:Does anyone have a solution or recommendation on how to avoid this synchronization issue?Is there a way to ensure that after converting to PDF, the original Word files remain in my OneDrive folder instead of being moved or deleted?

BPS Groups

2024-05-17T09:44:40+02:00

Hi,We currently have 36.5K BPS groups.Difficult to say.You have to look at performance as a whole, groups, and the number of groups should probably not have a big impact on performance, but it also depends. Because if there are operations all the time and a very large number of them, it is possible that there will be an impact.I don't mean just checking the permissions, because there could be one or more domains attached with the same number of AD groups that will be in cacheorg.What and why has an impact on performance should be investigated with tools, e.g. checking the most loaded queries, etc.In our environment, the number of groups does not have a critical impact on performance.Regards.

Hello ExpertsWe have a html template with our logo in it as an image tag. When we create a PDF from the template the logo is not displayed in the PDF. In the html template itself the image is displayed.We also tried to insert the logo directly in the Generate PDF action in the tab Appearance => Show header => Html: It's the same here. The only thing that is displayed in the PDF is the alternative Text for the image but not the image itself.The logo is located as file in a template process directly in Webcon and we put the url in the src Attribute of the image tag. We also tried several other locations as source but the image wasn't displayed either. Why doesn't the image appear in the generated PDF File? Do we something wrong here or is this generally not possible?To use a Word-Template is no alternative because the comments from the workflow can't be displayed there and these must be included in the template.Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi Daniel,Thank you for your answer.My idea was to set up something that I have already in another process and where I need to cross form fields information with an Oracle table.Basically I'm using Data Source Value, and if it return empty, then it means that it didn't find any relation.For this case, I'm taking your suggestion for the Action column, but I was trying to make the comparison inside the control step. And for control steps, the options built-in for Item list does not contain a for each operator. So trying with your suggestion, what would you use to check that instance can be closed or moved back?Thank you

New "Add item list action" in 2023.1.3.169 and why the current action may have caused unrecognized problems

2024-05-13T22:25:54+02:00

Hi everyone,maybe you have read the change log of the latest version and come across the new action and it's description:This action adds all rows from the specified Data source to the indicated Item list, without checking for duplicates, but taking into account the values specified in the Columns mapping section. Executing this action may result in duplicate rows of the Item list.As I encountered the described implications, I wanted to stress this, as the current action may have changed the previous behavior. The image contains an upgraded action and veterans may notice, that this is an really old workflow, from the time where there was no field mapping.The left side of the image shows the result, after the migration. Because the key is not unique, only one row was added.The right side contains a slight change, which corrected the action so that it works like before the migration.The below script will output all actions, which are using the "Add new rows from data source". If you want you can read the XML of the action or you use the provided information to locate the action in the Designer Studio.select APP_Name, ProcessId, Process, ACT_Name, ACT_ID, ACT_Description, Type, AUTM_Name, ACT_AUTMID, ACT_Configurationfrom (SELECT [ACT_ID] ,[ACT_Name] ,[ACT_Configuration] ,[ACT_Description] , automationProcess.DEF_ID ProcessId , automationProcess.DEF_Name Process , 'Automation action' as Type ,[ACT_AUTMID] , AUTM_Name , DEF_APPID FROM [dbo].[WFActions] join Automations on ACT_AUTMID = AUTM_ID left join WFDefinitions automationProcess on AUTM_DEFID = automationProcess.DEF_ID where [ACT_Configuration] like '%1%' union all SELECT [ACT_ID] ,[ACT_Name] ,[ACT_Configuration] ,[ACT_Description] , actProcess.DEF_ID ProcessId , actProcess.DEF_Name Process , 'Template action' as Type ,null [ACT_AUTMID] , null AUTM_Name , DEF_APPID FROM [dbo].[WFActions] join WFDefinitions actProcess on ACT_DEFID = actProcess.DEF_ID where [ACT_Configuration] like '%1%' or [ACT_Configuration] like '%true%' ) temp join WFApplications on DEF_APPID = APP_ID order by APP_Name, Process

For each Row item list in Control field

2024-05-13T22:13:34+02:00

Hi Andreia,I'm a bit confused, why don't you have a "for each" in a path of the control step?What I would do in your case:- Create an "Action" column, with values: Verify, Exist, Doesn't exist- Set the action to "Verify" for all rows.- Create a "loop" using a flow control which either moves the workflow to the control step or to the finish step- Get the top x rows of the item list with action "Verify"- Determine whether it exists or not and set the action of those rows. - Set a timeout on the control step, so that it gets triggered again.This assumes, that it takes a long time to verify all rows which would cause a timeout and therefore would prevent the path transition to be executed.If you can access the external database and the BPS content database with the same account, it will be easy to do. In this case you could use the update item list action. Otherwise, if you need to use REST for example, you need to use the for each operator and a "any collection". This could return the invoice number. In the for each loop you could store the result in a parameter. The parameter would be build like a "multi value choose field" "invoice number1#Doesn't exist;invoice number2#Doesn't exist". After the foreach you could then use the parameter value to update the item list.If you do have questions and have time tomorrow 5pm CEST, you could join my Ask Me Anything YouTube live event and we may be able to clarify this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okx0Wr_q0IMBest regards,Daniel

Hi,I have a situation where multiple users get assigned tasks on a certain path. The parallelism is set to Completion - All. It mostly work fine. But if certain users complete their task before other users do, the workflow goes into the next step, despite other user tasks not being completed. When I look at the element history, when other users finish their task, "Completion - All" and their name is logged. But when these "special users" finish their task, it logs "Information (editing allowed)" and their name. The workflow then goes into the next step?Any ideas?Thank you!

Gannt chart problems

2024-05-09T08:55:14+02:00

I solved the problem by unlinking the typed data source and creating elements with a global action. The presentation of process elements works better with a Gannt chart than a typed data source.

Gannt chart problems

2024-05-08T10:43:08+02:00

Hello, I have created a technical process in which I have defined a typed source - leave history and leave types. This source collects absence information from many other processes. Unfortunately, the Gantt chart shows only part of this data, even though the SQL query returns all of it (currently 3715 records for approximately 80 employees). I added a Gantt chart in the BPS Portal and limit it to the current month and one month back and one month forward. Why isn't Gannt showing all the data? Does Gantt have any limitations in this regard? My BPS version: 2023.1.3.76RegardsD.

"Export/transfer" BAse64 picture field content as attachment

2024-05-08T06:10:19+02:00

Hi Klaus,if you want to store them on a hard drive, you could use a PowerShell action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Integration/Action_PSExecutor#3-powershell-scriptYou have two options here:1. Pass the base64 value as a variable and convert it a file 2. Pass the instance id and access the database directlyWhen I'm using a PowerShell action I'm creating it externally and like to pass the whole script into the action. This includes the variable values I use for testing. Storing a base64 value in an action did work but caused long waiting times opening/storing the action. Therefore, it may be an option to directly access the database depending on your situation.Im using the AutoSaveIntervall to verify whether the script is executed from the ISE:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/deploying-assemblies#script-developmentYou can take over a large part of this script for the first option.https://github.com/Daniel-Krueger/webcon_artifactDeployment/blob/main/2021.1.3.205/RemoteDeployment_fromBPS.ps1Best regards,Daniel

REST API issue

2024-05-07T08:58:24+02:00

Hi AndreeLiI don't have an answer how you could deal with this error other than writing an SDK, but i've an explanation why it happens.Webcon API is created using Swagger (OpenAPI) specification, so i would assume, that they are also using some kind of library to execute REST API actions.Based on HTTP specification RFC 7231*> A payload within a GET request message has no defined semantics; sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.GET requests shouldn't have a Body - data should be contained within the path or query part of the url, so properly implemented library shouldn't allow sending body when the verb is GET, and that is exactly what happens.* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73443585/why-http-get-with-request-body-in-swagger-node-js-not-working* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body/38625554#38625554

Unable to execute 'Remove privileges action' before any other actions

2024-05-07T07:04:36+02:00

Hi community!I have to remove all privileges (except the author of the element) on current workflow element for security reasons.I tried putting the action 'On exit' of the current step, before executing all other actions (assigning tasks, adding certain privileges, ...) on path to next step.According to an old documentation 'On exit' actions should be executed first and should not be dependent on the path, that was taken.Unfortunately the action 'Remove privileges' is always postponed and removes all the privileges / tasks which were set on path, which is not the expected behaviour.Is there any way to execute this certain action before any other actions?Thanks a lot in advance, Nik

Dynamic datasource not filtering user input

Hi Daniel & Jacek!Thanks a lot for the answers.I initially tried with Form field, but it did not work in the first step (New Form) for no obvious reason. I also was unable to identify, which exact SQL statement was executed here.

Dynamic datasource not filtering user input

2024-05-02T20:47:12+02:00

Hi Nik,I have never faced any issues when using field values for limiting the available values.Example one uses a value from a field while example two uses a union to define a common source out of which only a part would be valid for an instance.I'm not sure that I understood everything of your query but if Step_Id is referring to the step of the current workflow instance, this could cause problems. Having one set of available values in the first step while another one in the second step will cause an error, if the value could not be found in the second result set.Best regards,Daniel

Dynamic datasource not filtering user input

Hi community!I have to implement a choice field (Autocomplete or Popup), whose results should be dependent of the following:1. Current step2. If second choice field is selected, it should narrow down the results from a subquery (Item list)First of all Webcon doesn't accept a DECLARE statement in the first line of a custom datasource based on 'Current BPS connection'. A workaround here is the 1. statement (IF (1=1)).This query does seem to work (it is showing the right results in the right step).What does not seem to work is the filtering on user input. Query seems to be evaluated all the time, showing ALL results regardless of user input.Is there any other way to achieve such a requirement?Thanks a lot in advance, best regards, Nik

My first assumption was that if I know that my query returns only one row, it should fit into text fields - obviously I was wrong, BPS doesn't know how many records will the result have and needs to map the table rather than single row.I attached my mapping of item list to collection - perhaps it will be helpful for others.

This will allow you to output HTML.Best regards,Daniel

Hi Agnieszka, Hi DanielI'm assuming that Daniel is right - we can't map collection items into single fields - Webcon expects item list.There shouldn't be a need to store the body inside of a multi-line field though - it should be accessible through business rule on mapping page as 'Input value' parameter.I'm parsing XML from REST-like API which returns XML instead of JSON. In attachment example mapping, and business rule used to get the XML content.With JSON though it might be more tricky as OPENJSON requires database Compatibility Level at 130, and by default Webcon database are at 120 according to this*You should be able to check it with this SQL:SELECT compatibility_level FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'BPS_Content'; However i'm thinking right now, that you might be able to create an empty database with high compatibility level, create a new connection, and use that connection to query with OPENJSON available.*https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/compatibility-level-of-webcon-bps-databases-good-practices/323/3

2024-04-23T21:19:21+02:00

Hi Joanna,this is quite simpel, if you know how to implement it. You will need to have a cancel path on each step of the child workflow from where it could move to cancel.In the parent workflow cancel path you will add a "move workflow (sql)" function.Instead of defining a fixed path I would define the path dynamically.Pseudo code:select WFD_ID case when WFD_STPID = "In progress step id" then "Cancel path of in progress step"when WFD_STPID = "Other step id" then "Cancel path of other step"else -1 end PATH_IDfrom WFElementswhere WFD_WFDID = 12345I haven't checked the name of the PATH_ID, you can click on the blue info icon to verify it.Best regards,Daniel

2024-04-19T19:36:59+02:00

Hi,I haven't encountered this situation before. However, I can offer you a few ideas. I hope they help. I think you should make use of the settings in the item list, specifically the 'Initialize' In the main item list when adding/modifying a column, you should put in 'Style and behavior' a foreach, and if the condition is okay, to execute the form rule 'initialize itemlist'.I found this post; maybe you can get an idea starting from this one.https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/javascript-functions-in-the-html-form-fields-part-2/167/23You can create a javascript form rule that it add a rows in itemlist.I hope some of these ideas will be helpful to you.Thanks,Raluca

2024-04-19T13:06:24+02:00

This looks like an error on the WEBCON side, i'll report it, as it might hit me someday.In attachment you can see a workaround - this will filter out all values, when there is no filter value specified (this is a case, when error occurs).When there is specified value filter works fine (checked on 2023.1.3.131 and 2023.1.2.99).It seems like WEBCON doesn't handle case when there is no number in decimal field - it treats it as text, and this leads to error.

Hi Andreas,it's rather simple to correct - instead of using 'database field name' use 'field from data source' - see attachment.Of course - you have to add specific column to data source definition prior to that.You are interested in 'Values' tab instead of 'Objects' :)

Create Text as "Markdown" format

2024-04-17T20:49:19+02:00

I don't have great answers to those unfortunately.1. a) It will be easy to add support for tables - you could just change markdown flavour to GFM - https://showdownjs.com/docs/flavors/1. b) Mermaid is not really a default markdown feature - it's additional library - you could try also adding it using cdn library with mermaid.js -https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid - from my testing it looks like this won't work even with regular multi-line fields, as those add tags to create new lines - you could try to remove them though before calling render.2. In theory showdown.js can convert markdown -> html and html -> markdown, but i highly doubt that this will work good - don't see a chance that webcon formatter uses same html tags as showdown.js.I've added HTML -> markdown to the PoC application.Maybe there is some library which could be used to create custom field on webcon form with all the features, but i'm not aware of it.

Create Text as "Markdown" format

2024-04-17T16:06:15+02:00

Hi Maksymilian,thank you very much, that is great! For sure something I can use it.I have still two questions:- In markdown I can use easily "formatted stuff", e.g. tables or Mermaid diagrams, which is not working here. Is this a matter of the converter or is this a limitation of the HTML field? Or could these features somehow be supported? - In fact I was looking for the "reverse" formatting, i.e. I enter in a multiline field with configuration "rich" a formatted Text and the content is converted into valid markdown. Is this possible, too?Kind regards,Klaus

Create Text as "Markdown" format

2024-04-17T12:42:28+02:00

Hi Klaus,there is currently no built in way to preview markdown in WEBCON, although you could use external libraries and write really small amount of javascript, to have really nice experience.I've prepared a sample application on WEBCON demo server here: * Sample markdown document: https://portal.webconbps.com/db/1/app/548/element/6757/form - you will need to add a space, and exit the text field to render markdown.* Start new document: https://portal.webconbps.com/db/1/app/548/start/wf/757/dt/755/form?def_comid=1Whole configuration is rather simple - it uses showdown.js* library to make a conversion - this is loaded using a cdn, and on change of value in markdown field I'm just converting it to html.Screenshots in attachments, although you should be able to check the configuration directly through connecting to designer studio downloaded from demo page :)Three attributes:* Library load - this contains script tag to get showdown.js from a cdn.* Markdown - this is regular multiline text field without formatting - you can type in here raw markdown* Preview - it's just a anchor, which i can grab and replace it's content with generated html from markdownIt should be possible to add some event listener so each typed key will refresh the preview, but it's a quick example to work on if that idea looks good for you.Of course you could also save that generated markdown into a webcon field, which i'm not doing in this example.* https://showdownjs.com/

Create Text as "Markdown" format

2024-04-17T09:44:56+02:00

Hi there.I have a idea and am looking on a way to make it happen.We want to use Docusaurus for a documentation of a system. For this I need the text in markdown format/notation/language (I'm not sure what the correct word is for this).What I need on top of the "actual document" is the life-cycle of the single articles/pages, i.e. the development of the content (history) and the review and approval steps before it is published.My idea was to move the entire life-cycle into Webcon and after approval it should be outputted into the docusaurus system (that I'm sure will not be an issue via some REST API).The question is now: Can I somehow implement the content creation into a Webcon form, i.e. is there a possibility to have a "markdown" form field or a mechanisms to translate the HTML into markdown?Kind regards,Klaus

Hello,I need to set up two columns to calculate some KPIs for a report.The first one will show the status based on Case statement and date difference:(select case when DATEDIFF(day,WFD_AttDateTime3,getdate()) >0 then 0when DATEDIFF(day,WFD_AttDateTime3,getdate()) = 0 then 1else 2end)The second column should pick the number of instances that have the conditionsDATEDIFF(day,WFD_AttDateTime3,getdate()) = 0 DATEDIFF(day,WFD_AttDateTime3,getdate()) < 0 and then divide by the number of total instances by month.Since this is kind of dynamic, I think that putting this calculation on the report side would be best, but I don't know how to configure the second condition.Any thoughts?Thank you! :)

Hi,I hadn't realized that.I think you can set the edit mode option on the main form with default view. You can replace the save button with a path. You can hide the save button and create a path to the same step. If the edit mode at the step is default view, it will no longer remain in edit mode. Do you need to write or move that instance? How does it affect you that they remain in edit mode? Are there multiple people assigned at that step?Thanks,Raluca

Hi,This approach is not recommended. Additionally, the attached data is stored in the [dbo].[WFAttachmentFiles] table within the attachment database linked to the process. If you occasionally need to restore a deleted attachment, it's advisable to download its latest version from the history in administrative mode and re-add it 'normally'. However, if this situation occurs frequently, I strongly advise reassessing your process and finding an alternative solution to meet this requirement.e.g. using APIRegards.

Check status/step of subworkflows

2024-04-04T12:47:10+02:00

Hi ArturI'll start with the Error - it's caused due to wrong filter on the HR View.Those filters are translated by WEBCON to SQL queries, you can look how the query looks like for example with using diagnostics*, but for now it's not required.With that in mind we can compare it to what happens under the hood, the query looks something like this (it's very rough, there is much more, but that is the part which we have to focus on):SELECT * FROM V_WFElements WHERE {QM_Parent_ID} It's missing an equality operator, it should be more like this:SELECT * FROM V_WFElements WHERE {QM_Parent_ID} = {WFD_ID}So you should make some kind of a comparsion when filtering, and you most certainly want to compare value from form attribute QM Parent ID with Data Source Columns (attachment) - ID should be what you are looking for.At this moment you are copying subworkflow ID into a field on parent workflow - this works fine, when you are sure that there will be only one subworfklow - creating new subworkflows will override this value.If there is a possibility that more subworkflows of same type will be created, then I'd suggest creating a field on subworkflow, which will contain ID of parent - this way, you can also handle one to many relations.This is also something that webcon does when you set start mode as 'subworkflow of current instance', it saves the ID of parent into WFD_WFDID column of child element - available as 'Instance ID from parent workflow' in Values tab of business rules/filters etc. From what i know this is required to make step Wait for subworkflows work - you can't achieve it with custom relations.Sometimes you might want to have your own relation though, for ease of use.*https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/diagnostics-and-form-behavior-registration-mechanism/215/40

Hi Matthias,By design possibility to add / remove / edit attachments requires editing rights. By default it's even stricter - only person which added attachment can remove it, and in exactly same step where it has been added.You could though solve it in 2/3 ways, maybe someone will come up with another ones:1. Give sales employee edit rights, but create edit restrictions on fields/paths (if fields are in group, then group level restriction is enough), something like 'When user doesn't have a task' - should be possible using 'Assigned persons', and 'Current user is one of'. It is a bit of work though.2. Create a 2 step subworkflow, which will be used to add attachments to parent - create a global* 'hyperlink start element'** action, and use related attachments *** tab to display them.3. Is an variation on 2 - creating subworkflow, but after registering that subworkflow, you could use move workflow **** action - trigger it on child, and target parent workflow. Add technical path on each step of parent workflow, with Add Attachment ***** action - this should target latest child workflow for attachment adding.I'd probably try to work with 2nd approach, as it looks like least pain to maintain it.Also - you could try a variant with only 1 subworkflow dedicated to keep attachments added 'during process' instead of creating a subworkflow each time attachments are added.Note from my perspective - usually letting someone add information during the process, when it's not their time to act without proper information flow might lead to errors.If someone from Sales have a new attachment, maybe a better way would be to give everyone possibility to move workflow to Sales, where they can attach what is needed, and use 'Back to the previous step' destination step on a path in sales. It forces Sales to inform someone that there is some kind of a new data, because they have to ask current assignees to pass them the instance.* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Workflow_GlobalAction3/** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Form/Action_Hyperlink*** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/BasicColumns/RelativeAttachmentsConfig**** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/MoveManyWorkFlows/***** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_AddAttachment

Check status/step of subworkflows

2024-04-04T12:00:41+02:00

Hello everyone, I am new to Webcon so it might be a dumb question. Anyway, I am trying to create an App where one Department starts one Workflow that creates subworkflows for several other departments. The main Workflow should be able to see the current status/step of every subworkflow. But with what I did, I am getting 2 Errors[Form] "Failed with an unknown exception Fehler-ID: d1a18cc6-c67d-43bb-b883-66e3584445e9"[] "during saga execution: Failed with an unknown exception".See the attachment for a picture of that.How I tried to realise this scenario:On the only path from the Start button i have an automation that starts a subworkflow and then saves the subworkflow ID to a technical field. (Or at least I think that it should do that, see attachments).Then in the mainform Workflow I have a step that is waiting for the Subworkflow and there a Tab that should get the status.For that I created a Data table and put the technical field as the filter.And when I test this I get a huge error message from the Query test.With that I think that I am either doing something increadibly wrong, or it will be a simple thing like a checkbox I am missing. Which of the 2 is it and how do I fix this?Thanks in advance.

Problems with match in Choice Field

2024-04-04T11:31:00+02:00

Oh sorry, you're right - when parse in ID#Name value it's match. The problem is that i don't have ID, only Name (it's still unique, and when i confirm pressing ENTER it's match perfectly). And even when parse ID#Name - autocomplete for another column won't trigger.In version 2023.1.2.123 this work fine. It's some bug or i need a workaround this?

[SOLVED] How to start workflow (start button) and initialize item list from other flow

2024-04-04T10:56:03+02:00

Item initialization doesn't have to be static, in most cases it's not, so it can have different values based on 'Nr zlecenia' field :)I've made a quick prototype on public portal*, you should be able to connect to it as Tom Green (it's 2023.1.2.99 version) you might need to download it - possible also through portal under user avatar menu.In attachments some screenshots from config:* Configuration of item list initialization (i've simplified it, so it might not be exactly your buisness use case, but same solution - i want to load all Orders on Delivery form, based on selected Customer) - there is a bug in Designer Studio which renders column as it's not existing, but it only visual bug.* Configuration of on change 'Customer'* Configuration of Form rule on page load in 'Start' step - it's required to automatically initialize list when using 'Start new element' hyperlink* Configuration of technical action, to make sure that list is loaded when using start a subworkflow* https://portal.webconbps.com/db/1/app/545

Problems with match in Choice Field

2024-04-04T10:51:41+02:00

It's true, when you are parse only Name then in database system could only insert Name. But when User save work or go to another step, system check the values and updating the data (i checked in database, there is nothing missing). I believe option in Screenshot no 1 is responsible for that.I check this action in many levels and still got same problem - could'nt parse value in fields. I tested in format ID#Name - and still had same problem. And like i said - there is some data that match, but i don't see the pattern (it's the same value, but in diffrent row).All that fields are Choice Field with Autocomplete.

Problems with match in Choice Field

2024-04-04T09:57:35+02:00

Hello,I had some issues with choicefields, in my case the configuration for the field was simple: ID and Name.If I was adding by action a value that would match "Name", the field would display the value correctly, but when I was checking it in SSMS I would get only that value instead of ID#Name.I had to change the action to add ID#Name in order to work.You can try and do a test with a simple action and add ID#Name and see if its working.Regards

File attachments can be edited by all users

2024-04-04T08:57:46+02:00

Hello everyone,Is it possible to set the attachment function so that users can upload files in all workflow steps?Currently, in my app, this only works if the user has editing rights for this instance. But I don't actually want that the users have editing rights on all instances and do not want to create complicated rules, that then unlock the overall rights, but immediately revoke the rights for certain fields.In the field matrix I can only set the attachements checkbox to visible or invisible. Other formular fields can bet set to 'Read-only'. In my example, a sales employee should still be able to add images/customer emails even if the processing is actually currently in the service department. However, the sales person should not be able to intervene in the work of the service colleague.Thank you in advance, Matthias

Hi Pawe,is there some reason why can't you use standard item list initialization?1. Define dynamic initialization use SQL query *2. Check 'Show reload button' so users will be able to manually initialize the list ** 3. You could also use Form rule 'Initialize item list', to automate it for example on change of 'Nr zamwienia'.This way:* Opening new form with filled only 'Nr zamwienia' will open loaded with item list* Starting subworkflow - should be filled with the initialization * There will be a button to manually execute initialization* If you'll go with the on change of 'Nr zamwienia', then Initialization of list is always available, so there won't be a problem of missing menu button.* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILConf_Init/** https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILGenral

Hi Martin,I don't think this is an update issue, as I tested this behavior on 2023.1.2.124 and the attachment metadata is displayed correctly.Looking at your screenshot, I think .attachment-last-modification CSS selector must've been overwritten, as it is not present in default configuration. I attached a screenshot of my console.I suppose you may have custom global CSS configured that sets this class to display: none;Please go to Designer Studio -> System settings -> Appearance and see if you have some custom Global CSS styles configured. See attached screenshot as a reference.If you don't find the cause of the issue, maybe you could try just overwriting the style with:div.attachment-last-modification {display: block;}Kind regards

Discard User Checkout

2024-04-02T10:54:47+02:00

Is there any way to influence the user checkout behaviour (i.e. force discard after x ammount of time) when users are only saving an instance but not ending the edit mode of the form.I currently have the issue that there are several users who are behaving like this and we aren't able to convince them to either close their browser window/tab or at least click "Cancel editing" after they have saved their progress.I know there would be the potential risk that data is lost if i force the discarding of the checkout but this wouldn't be an issue in my opinion since this would only reinforce the saving of progress for the users.Has any of you either done this in the past or has an idea who something like this would be possible?CheersPasqualeedit: I'm using 2022.1.4.155

Hi George,I'm not a sharepoint expert, I have this comfort that didn't had to work with it, although after doing some research on microsoft side documentation it looks like filles/folders and lists are managed by different API endpoints:* https://{site_url}/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Folder Name/{file_name}') - This is for files/folders* https://{site_url}/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Test')/items({item_id}) - This is for listsI would assume, that action which is called 'Delete a list element' will work with lists, and use second endpoint - so it's not handling files/folders scenario - there is no some switch to change it.You could try to make this case work with 'Invoke REST Web service' action, a little bit more work but should be doable (if i remember correctly Daniel from forum done something like that)Sources:* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-folders-and-files-with-rest* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-lists-and-list-items-with-rest

Delete one or multiple documents from a SharePoint library

2024-03-28T12:57:26+01:00

Hi,We have a client that uses sharepoint to work with documents, for contracts. There is an item list that is used to manage these documents (so far, only upload and download) and they would like to also be able to delete some of the already uploaded documents. There is a main folder for each contract and there are a couple of subfolders for attachments, depending on when they where added.As far as i understand, i will need to use the action 'Delete a list element'. I see that i can either give it an ID or use a CAML query (first time user here; just started reading about it).I most definetely need to use the CAML query since there can be more than one document that needs deleting but i am also curios about that ID.Where can i get that ID from? I tried testing with the Document ID found in SharePint, at info, but got an error ('Cannot convert "{0}" to correct (integer) value of deleted element ID'). If i use 1 it gives back 'There is no Web named "/sites/contracte/Documents/2024/Contract_1/_vti_bin/sites.asmx"'.Does the CAML query support finding more documents if they are in different folders/subfolders as long as it does not go further back in the List address?Does the List address need to be all the way to the folder where the documents are or can i stop at the contracts folder?I would like to make this as dynamic as possible since there is a high chance for other subfolders to appear.I found some discussions on the forum and will go through these, as well as read more about CAML. Any info and further reading materials will be appreciated.*the version is 2021.1.3.205, standaloneThanks in advance,George

Using this data, system fill table with invoice items (eg. cost allocation ).But in this version i get error that: "No exact match was found for:..." ("Nie znaleziono dokadnego dopasowania:...") for attribute Choice field. In previous version this work fine.And there is no pattern in this action because some of this data match and system had no problem (in first row "MPK", and in third row "Alokacja" - but in other rows same data "MPK" dosen't match). When i try match this manualy it's work fine.Someone had similiar issues? What i am missing?Thanks for help

Column 'Login' does not belong to table Results

2024-03-27T11:30:16+01:00

I've figured it out. In case someone runs into the same issue, you have to edit and save those actions that will cause errors. It will regenerate the XML correctly.Seems like in the past you were able to choose a column for the user or group attribute and it would remain saved in ACT_Configuration column.Currently saving over the action removes the "Login" field, replacing it with "" that the current version works with.A simple sql to start with: SELECT * FROM WFActions WHERE ACT_ActionKindID=13 AND ACT_Configuration LIKE '%%'I haven't tested it, but I assume It'll result in an error as well for DW (CC) and UDW (BCC). If not, then instead of '%%', use '%%'.

Determining access to the report view based on permissions associated with multi-company functionality

2024-03-26T15:26:01+01:00

Hi Stanisaw,By default - when you create a report it takes into account who is displaying that report, so with correct configuration one report might be enough for all companies.Every time new element (document/form) is created in webcon it's assigned to a company (COM_ID, WFD_COMID in database) - there is always a default one (not sure if WEBCON or Headquarters).Based on that, value which is assigned to all elements, you can define privileges on two levels, which also take into account companies:* Process* Workflow/FormWhen there are 3 companies defined, then on process/workflow privileges level there will be 4 tabs to manage privileges:* General* Company A* Company B* Company CIf you specify privileges in 'General' tab it gives access to all instances - so users with 'Access to all elements' will see all elements from all companies.On the other hand if you will use 'Company A' tab, then specified users will get access to elements with assigned 'Company A'.'Default for' configuration will handle choosing right company for specific people, but you can also define 'Start new elements' privileges on Process or Workflow/Form level to make sure, that users won't have possibility to start elements for other company.I'm not sure what do you mean by several forms - have you registered new documents with selected company, or there are multiple form types?Multiple forms are not required to handle multiple companies - one is enough, but I'm not sure if it's not just a business case which just deals with many form types :)

Data sources - Fixed values list - API

2024-03-26T13:06:19+01:00

I Mihali, I've checked Swagger UI*, and there are no data sources available through api - closest we can get, are connections, but thats not it./api/data/v4.0/db/{dbId}/elements/resolveFieldValue/{idguid} this endpoint based on Swagger description:"Gets available values for selected picker/choose form field" It will not return directly Fixed Values List content, but it should also consider all filters which are on specific field for specific element ID.You could though create some technical element, which would be used as some kind of helper to get to those values.I think there is something wrong in the URL based on the error - i can easily use this endpoint, are you sure that you've authorized with API application with granted permissions? Based on Swagger:At least one permission required: App.Elements.Admin.All; App.Elements.ReadWrite.All; User.Elements.Admin.All; User.Elements.Admin.; User.Elements.ReadWrite.All; User.Elements.ReadWrite.?It also requires passing workflow id, and formtype id as queryparams, so whole request might look like this:https://mycompany-webcon/api/data/beta/db/{db_id}/elements/resolveFieldValue/{field_id}?workflow={workflow_id}&formType={formtype_id}You could also consider querying them directly from the database.There is WFDataSources table, and WFS_StaticValues column.* On each webcon instance there is Swagger available under https://{instance}/api, you can read about it here: https://developer.webcon.com/docs/rest-api/

Not dictionaries or other process types, but "Fixed values list" object types only.The need is to synchronize Webcon data with other systems, assuming Webcon repository is master.I found this article https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2491 which states that there would exist /api/data/v4.0/db/{dbId}/elements/resolveFieldValue/{idguid}, but this kind of call results in 404 - not found error.I did not find resolveFieldValue anywhere else, or any other solution for that matter, thus current question.Thank you,Mihail

Hi Andreia,If your goal is to allow users to work on documents simultaneously, then you should refer to the third article: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/working-with-onedrive-files/341/18This article explains how to configure OneDrive connection in Designer Studio using AAD client credentials and what kind of permissions does the AAD app need ("Connection to OneDrive configuration" section).To obtain the credentials that you ask for (on your attached screenshot), you have to register an AAD app. I think you can follow this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/healthcare-apis/register-applicationOneDrive owner is an account with OneDrive access, which will be used to store files shared by WEBCON BPS actions. The owner account has to have MFA disabled. PS. I keep saying "Azure AD" out of habit, but I think it was recently renamed to Microsoft Entra ID :)

resubmit archived instance on monthly basis

2024-03-25T22:57:14+01:00

Hi,I'm not sure what you are missing or what is not working.As mentioned, I would use a "Start SQL (workflow)" action. The action would set a technical field in the new workflow instance. The value would be the workflow instance id from which the information would be copied.I'm not sure whether this helps you at all. My problem is that I don't know:- Where the actual problem is.- What you have currently done / tested.- What your experience is.Everyone here has a different level of experience and to provide helpful information we need the use case and what the actual problem is. For some a single word would be enough to guide them in the correct direction while others need some more details. Best regards,Daniel

I really despair of this application!

2024-03-25T08:32:21+01:00

Hi ViorelXY,The Admin access authentication provider (admin@system.bps) is not allowed to make changes to applications and data sources, as this is a technical account used to finalize installation (configure user authentication and synchronization methods and grant global admin privileges to selected synchronized users). Also, Admin access doesn't require Designer Studio CAL license, so it can be used to access Designer Studio during an "emergency".It is described in documentation (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/SystemSettings/SystemSettings_AuthenticationProviders#admin-access) and was mentioned during WEBCON BPS installation.What you should do is grant global system admin privilege to a named user login and authenticate to Designer Studio using that account.Kind regards

2024-03-25T08:14:22+01:00

Hi,if you have already tried something, it would be good if you shared some more details. Otherwise you will receive just some general information.The big question for me is, whether the "archived instance" was really archived in terms of moved to an archive database or whether this is just a step in the "active" content database.Regardless of this I would do the following:- Add a path to the workflow which will-- Copy the fields from the archived instance-- Copy the item lists from the archived instance-- Copy the attachments from the archived instance- The workflow instance would be started using a "Start subworkflow (sql)" action which would pass the instance id of the archived workflow.- The workflow start mode would be unrelated to current instance, which is at the bottom of the first tab.While you could also copy some field information with the action, you won't be able to copy item lists and attachments. It will be better to have everything you need to copy in one place.Here you can find information about:- Cyclical actions:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Workflow_GlobalAction3/module_2_4_7_4_2- Start subworkflow (sql)https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartManyWorkFlows/Best regards,Daniel

2024-03-22T16:47:23+01:00

Hello,I did a quick test, i had a date/time field and with time checked so i can start my timeout after 1 minute and it did not work as long as the date/time field was set in the same step where the timeout is located.If i used just a simple path that leads to the same step, then it worked.Best practice is to set the date/time field before you enter a step that has a timeout using that field.Have a good day!

Hi Marcin,Yes, you can change the fields that are shown in this view at process level in the tab "Compact view". There is a maximum of 6 fields available. You could target the specific row with the below css which you can insert in the global css, but this will then be applied across all applications..tile-element__details-container > .tile-detail:nth-of-type(3) { /* CSS properties */}If you want to apply this css only to one application you would need to use javascript but I don't know an easy way to do that.Hope that helps a bit.Cheers,Martin

2024-03-20T08:00:40+01:00

Hi DamianDue to the authentication method used by WEBCON BPS (we do not use server sessions) it is not possible to achieve your scenario with Windows Integrated Authentication.If you want to have a "kiosk scenario", when many different users work on the same computer, on the same Windows Profile you should use any other Authentication Provider like AAD (Entra Id), ADFS, or OpenId with a logout page correctly configured. (and users should close a browser after logging out). Best RegardsPawel Jawien

How to transfer the database to a new server ?

2024-03-19T15:30:14+01:00

I'm stuck.I moved the BPS_Content database from the previous server, leaving the BPS_Config database that was created during the WEBCON installation.I changed the entry in BPS_Config.dbo.ContentDatabases by adding the name of the transferred database.I restarted the licenses.In the Farm Services Configuration, I have the transferred BPS_Content database associated.I restart the application pools and start the services and there is a problem because the portal is not displayed, I get HTTP Error 502.5 - ANCM Out-Of-Process Startup Failure.I don't know what's going on anymore. The application pool was newly created during WEBCON installation, it is under the same user as the one from the original server.Do you have any advice on what else to check?

Problem with user authentication - portal (Automatic logout of users).

2024-03-19T14:08:51+01:00

Hi, We tried introducing a method that will force an inactive user to log out of the portal after 10 minutes. We found the Security configuration and changed the cookie expiration time (set it to 10 minutes).Successful logout occurred after 10 minutes. After logging out, a login window appears. In some cases, the user had to enter the correct login and password several times before being able to enter the portal. The worst thing is that there are cases where the user does not log in to his account. We use Windows Active Directory authentication.Does anybody know the reason that could cause the users to take the identity of different users?

Tables: WFActionExecutions ,AutomationSessionExecutions

2024-03-19T13:19:03+01:00

Hi Jakub,No one is probably going to give you a proper answer to that question, since manual modifications to BPS tables are forbidden by license agreement.However, if you provide detailed information about the scenario (why you want to delete them, what is the configuration of cyclical actions), maybe the Community will be able to provide help regarding good practices for configuring cyclical actions, thinning size of SQL tables or some other stuff.Some issues regarding those tables were already addressed in newer builds of WEBCON BPS (such as bug fixes for AutomationSessionExecutions in 2022.1.4.248).If the issue requires an intervention (eg. if too many rows were created due to badly configured recurrent action), you may need to reach out to our Support at https://support.webcon.com/Kind regards

Hi,I played around a bit with a simplified version. I didn't noticed an issue here.I have an item list with 50 rows, 10 columns + 1 Data Row column, with a simple select statement. The execution of this takes 2 seconds.1: Without any edit restriction it takes 171 ms2: With restrictions it takes 188 ms3: Is a custom solution which takes 186 msI have been using 2023.1.3.76The custom solution is build using an html field, rendered after the item list. It calls a normal form rule, which in turn calls a JS Form rule.function disabledEnableCell (column) {let enabled = #{BRP:101}#// Enable/disable input, div and buttons; div and buttons need to be disabled for picker fields// we need to use attr or removeAttr because $.prop does not workif (enabled == false) {column.querySelector("input").setAttribute("disabled","disabled"); column.querySelector(".input-group-control__input").classList.add("input-group-control__input--disabled")} else{column.querySelector("input").removeAttribute("disabled");column.querySelector(".input-group-control__input").classList.remove("input-group-control__input--disabled")}}let rowNumber = uxContext.getCurrentRowNumber();disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:128}#']"));disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:130}#']"));disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:131}#']"));disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:121}#']"));disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:123}#']"));disabledEnableCell(document.querySelector("tr[data-index='" + rowNumber + "'] td[data-key='#{SFLD:125}#']"));You could give this a shot.Best regards,Daniel

Hello everyone,Where can I adjust in the Designer Studio so that a complaint is initially only opened in reading mode? Currently, the complaints called up are always opened immediately in processing mode. I would like to set it so that editing has to be started manually.The problem is, that users open the entry and just want to read it and then forget to cancel the editing. This means the complaint remains in processing mode and cannot be processed by other users.Where can I find the settings for this in the backend, since it obviously has to be possible in principle?(see picture 3 after aborting editing)Thank you very much in advance!Matthias

Implementing Desktop Notifications Like Mobile

2024-03-15T11:25:50+01:00

Hi Raluca,I can't understand your customer. Why should he pay more attention to a notification than an information email? He could add a separate folder to his Outlook mailbox that is just for email notifications.With a rule in Outlook, he can simply redirect all emails automatically to this folder and thus have his "important" information emails separated from the other emails.When someone is given a task to work on, they simply have to work on the task. The medium through which he receives the information does not matter, the task must still be completed. At some point the customer will says that he is getting so many notifications that he no longer pays any attention to them... and then?In my opinion the problem here is poor self-organization, which you should now solve with a WEBCON custoimizing.This is a difficult task for you.Maybe you can convince the customer of the Outlook solution. WEBCON is a great program, but it can't change a person's personal attitude.Good luck that you find a satisfying solution that isn't too complicated :)

Hi Joanna,the simplest ideas will most often be the best and robust. Whenever we are using JavaScript to interact with existing elements this may break in a future version. For example the DOM structure of the "error dialog" changed in 2023 R3 and my JS for adding the comment there no longer worked.Regarding working with the comment fields, you could take a look here:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/current-commenthttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/comments-to-data-table-and-pdfBest regards,Daniel

Implementing Desktop Notifications Like Mobile

2024-03-14T20:45:16+01:00

Hi Raluca,I can image two options.a) Service workers inside the browser.I've started a PoC with a customer service worker. I was able to register and run it. So it should be possible to periodically get the tasks and show a notification.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/how-to/background-syncs#use-the-periodic-background-sync-api-to-regularly-get-fresh-contentb) Desktop applicationThis may be the more feasible one. Create a custom desktop application which uses an Application in "User Context" mode. This could then pull the tasks of the current user periodically. You will need to implement the user authentication stuff but I think it will be easier and more robust then the other.c) Teams MessagesWill be a pain to implement, but in theory you could add some API calls to send the users a chat message whenever there's a new task. It would be a pain as you would need to touch each workflow and step. .Both have the problem, that it's periodically and not event driven. Best regards,Daniel

HI Maria,if you have a multiple value field the values will look like:a) id1#displaynameb) id2#displayname;id1#displaynamec) id2#displayname;id1#displayname;id1#displaynameIt should be possible to always filter for id1 by adding a ; in the beginning, so that you could filter for %;id1#.Therefore something like this should work, or at least point you in the right direction.

Hi,I did think about this idea to be fair, but I don't know why, I see it as "simplistic idea" .. and wanted to do it in a more "professional way" if I can call it this way. As an update for everyone, at the moment I did it by using an HTML field where I've placed an eventListener on the comment section and a field Comment_Nou that is NO by default and will be changed to YES in case an user will add a comment during editing the format that step. And on the path, I'm first checking IF the checkbox is ticked or not. If NO, form validation for checking if the specific type of document has been added. If YES, then do another validation where I'm checking if Comment_Nou has been changed from NO to YES. If it's YES, then everything it's fine.For now it seems like it's accepted by the client so probably I'll leave it this way until I will know exactly how to change it. :) I appreciate your help a lot. Thank youu!PS: I've also tried to do something withSELECT [WFH_ID],[WFH_OrgID],[WFH_Description],[WFH_Version]FROM [dbo].[WFHistoryElements]WHERE WFH_OrgID = {instance no}and to extract from there the "c:" keys to compare them with.. current comment.. but didn't manage it to make it work yet..

There is 'On path', but i might have been not precise enough here. There is no global 'On path', we have to define it on specific path :) Also On Exit, On Entry are in Context of specific step, so you have to define it per step basis - no global option.You should go to workflow, select a step, on that step there will be a 'save' path, to which you can assign an automation - see screenshot.

The thing is that 'On save workflow element' is triggered only, when a Save button in Menu bar (on the top) is being used.(or when someone without edit permission saves comment based on this*)Pressing Save on bottom - the path, doesn't trigger 'On save workflow element' - it triggers 'On path', 'On Exit', and 'On Entry'.'On path' - because it's a path'On Entry'- because this path leads to the same step, so we will enter it'On Exit' - we are leaving this step, before we enter it againSo you have two options:1.

Hi,No.. To be fair, I did ask in a hurry, and after couple of hours I came back and re-read my question and seen that is not even half complete of what I needed, and I wanted to delete the post and re-ask. :DBasically what I need is that when a checkbox is FALSE, make the user attach at least one document of a specified type. When the checkbox is TRUE give the user the permission to attach NO document but instead make them to write one comment. So only when that checkbox is TRUE, comment is mandatory, otherwise, comment is optional. Seems like I managed to do the first part, no problems. But when I had to do the "mandatory one comment".. I had problems. Because the user has only one button (path) at the bottom of the form, and I can't activate the "comment required" option, as it's not needed if the checkbox is not ticked...I did find this posthttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/simplification-of-missing-commentand so many others, that's why I got mixed up between On value change, Javascript rules, where are the place where we can put that InvokeRule action, different types of fields and so on. And at the end I don't even know if this is possible to achive or not :(Maybe now it's a little bit more clearer.

Hi Everyone,I don't think that CSS will have anything to do with it, at least not the one from the browser, rather one from e-mail formatting, but it doesn't look like that. It's displayed the same in preview, even after removing standard e-mail content, and just inserting two attributes. (e-mail preview/content.png)I've created a sample form with 2 attributes - Long text, one formatted (called format), second one without formatting (called format - no). Both with append mode. Configuration in attachment. For those I've saved a sample form, to get values in database, and i read them with this query:SELECT WFD_AttLongX AS format, WFD_AttLongY AS [format - no]FROM WFElementsWHERE WFD_ID = {insert id}This query returned how the data is stored, and this will get us answer what's happening. Result is available here: https://pastebin.com/1NnSTiWq.I've opened that .json in VSCode, and turend on *Render whitespace* setting (Results - vscode.png).If the field doesn't allow formatting, then new lines are stored as \n, so a standard new line character. That's why email preview for this field is ok - no double new lines.If the field allows formatting, then new lines are stored twice as U+00a0 (unicode no-break space) which is wrapped in tags, creating new line. Thats one line, but we are also wrapping each line in separate tags, which are rendered as separate lines in HTML.test1test1 -- this will be two lines, separated with brU+00a0 -- this is an empty linetest1 -- line with textU+00a0 -- this is an empty linetest1 -- line with textYou could create a business rule with SQL like this one:SELECT REPLACE('{BRP}', '\u00A0', ''){BRP} is a buisiness rule parameter, and this should fix the issue :)

Form validation

2024-03-12T19:29:26+01:00

Hi, this depends on so many unknown factors that I can only provide a general approach on how I would do it:Assumptions:- The contractors are listed in a dictionary where also the monthly order limit is defined.- The orders contain an item list with rows, which total is written to a field- The "month" is a calendar month and the current month is the time when the user submits the orderApproach:- Since multiple users could add an order for the same contractor, it's necessary to validate the limit during path transition. Validating it on the form will help the user, but we need to be sure.- There's a BPS internal view for all orders with the necessary columns, like contractor, order date, total, "current month". The current month is either stored in a technical field or added as a calculated column. I would use a technical field and store the "month " in the format of "2024-03". This will make it easier later on.- A local parameter in the automation is added to store the sum of orders of the current month without the current order- The local parameter is set with a "change single field action". -- This will use the sum function. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/BusinessRules_General/#functions-- As a value of the sum function data source value is used (Functions\Integration\Data source value). -- The data source is filtered using, the contractor, the current month field and it's excluding the current order using the workflow instance id. Make sure to return all rows.-- I have in mind that this should work.- A validation action will compare the limit against the sum and thrown an error. The limit can be retrieved using the data source value approach.Best regards,Daniel

There is probably a reason, why .xlsm are not recognized by default, as it might be considered a security risk - VBA is really old, and often used in phishing.With that in mind, you can try using below SQL query, to get latest excel file attached to an instance:SELECT TOP 1 ATT_IDFROM WFDataAttachmetsWHERE ATT_WFDID = {WFD_ID} AND ATT_FileType IN ('.xlsx', '.xlsm', '.xls')ORDER BY ATT_TSUpdate DESCThis will pass specific attachment ID to the action, so it should at least try to work with it, and won't say it's not there. There might be some internal checks for .xlsm, and if this won't work I'm out of ideas.

Sure, you can use the "On instance saving" trigger to send standard and custom e-mails.This will also work when the Instance is in read-only mode and you press the "Save comment" button.P.S. For extra spicy memes, you can add a condition that will -not- send an e-mail if a comment is not added, i.e. the user modified the form and "Saved" it, but did not necessarily add a comment.I made a technical date and time field called "_LastModDate" with time selection enabled.On save I set this field to NOW (I put in the ADD DATE -8 to cheat time zone settings on my machine)In the condition, I say that this _LastModDate must equal the date of the last comment added.Only then will an e-mail be sent.It's dumb but it works :)I tried putting the "ADD DATE NOW Hour -8" directly in the condition, but it didn't want to work, I'll try again during the week...PS2. This might be a nice topic for a future Quick Tips video :)

How to prevent deletion of a inital row in an ItemList

2024-03-07T23:13:24+01:00

Hi Gerd,I created a simple case, where a yes/no field is checked, whether a row may be deleted.The solution itself consists of:1) An html field which is placed below the item list.2) The html field calls a form rule3) The form rule goes through the item list and checks a condition. In this case my field, if its true, another form rule is called.4) The other form rule hides the delete button for the current row. Below is the JS which works with BPS 2023 R3document.querySelector("tr[data-index='"+uxContext.getCurrentRowNumber()+"'] .subelements-action-button__delete-row").style.display = "none";It could be that you get some JS error if you are using a differente WEBCON BPS version. For example the uxContext.getCurrentRowNumber() was in uxContext.currentRowNumber in an earlier version.Best regards,Daniel

Hi,if you have two databases and want to display all applications in one application you will require a custom MSSQL database connection. This database connection will use a user, who can access both databases.Then you could create you SQL query like:SELECT 'Main db' as DatabaseName, [APP_Name]FROM [Main_DB].[dbo].[WFApplications]union SELECT 'Main_DB2' as DatabaseName, [APP_Name]FROM [Main_DB2].[dbo].[WFApplications]If you have dev/test/prod environment with different database names, you could add a constant for Main_DB and MainDB2, which you could use in the query.Best regards,Daniel

How to achieve this in Item List in Webcon 2023

2024-03-06T12:19:08+01:00

Hi!So I have this Item List in "Orders app". Lets say it has 10 columns. 6 Of those columns can be editable depending on subprocesses or other proceses. So there is a query, that if returns 1 it means that column can be edited by a user, if 0 then the column in this row is blocked.For that I am using "Column edit restrictions" from the "Permissions" tab in the studio.And it works great. For few rows. If there are more rows it works really slow. I made some analitics. The query is executed in 20-180 ms depending on many things. So lets say it is 50 ms.For 6 columns it means it is executed 6 times, so it takes 300 ms. For 10 rows it is 3 seconds. And of course orders can have many more rows.So I came up with an idea. I made technical Data Row column. It returns 1 if the columns should be editable in current row and 0 if not. It's just a copy of an above query.Then I changed "Column edit restrictions" to just check this Data Row Column and block column depending on technical row.That was great, 6x faster form loading.And that all worked in Webcon BPS 2022. In BPS 2023 it is not working.I beleave there was a change in the order of Data Row column of Item List execution. I think Data Rows queries are now executed at last, after it checks if columns should be blocked.How can I achieve this in BPS2023?

Error handling in cyclical actions

Hello,I have a global cyclical action that does some things. And in "Error handling" section i've got an automation that sends a customized emailIt was working fine in 2022, stopped working after upgrading it to the newest 2023 version.Currently it is impossible to do such scenario.

How to "copy" item list from other flow / selected attachments

2024-03-05T14:05:19+01:00

Hi Pawe,You should be able to solve both topics without need to use API.Part 1.You could solve it in few ways:1. If you've already created an action, you could make it visible on top menu button, and execute it using INVOKE MENU ACTION function on change of field containing ID of source document (it is a built in function).2. Configure initialization* on the list, and use INITIALIZE form rule on change of field containing ID of source document (it is a built in function).* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILConf_Init/#2-initializationPart 2.You should be able to use standard Add attachment* action, as you are adding from other documents, to current one. It's harder the other way.* https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_AddAttachment

I do process where:Part I1. On start, in first step, in form, in field = dropdown list, I pick te signature of other flow (different proces in particular step ID)2. Then the fields are filled with data from that chosen flowform is full of data (thats OK)3. And NOW In that chosen flow I have got Item listhow to by picking from dropdown list filled new itemlist with data ?I created action (theoretically is working) but ... how to "attach" that action to dropdown list?Part IIthe same case but Attach attachments from other flow - and connect this with dropdown list?--extra--pick chosen attachments not all I guest I will need to do something related with:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3240orhttps://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/copy-attachment-to-other-workflowor maybe is easier way?

Appearance of INT in a data table

2024-03-05T12:20:44+01:00

Hi Joanna,From Advanced configuration there is no option that would change the formatting of the field.You could achieve it with querying database using SQL with FORMAT and REPLACE functions:SELECT REPLACE(FORMAT(123321123321.22, 'N2', 'de-DE'), '.', ' ') AS Test -- Space separatedSELECT FORMAT(123321123321.22, 'N2', 'en-US') AS Test -- Comma separatedSELECT FORMAT(123321123321.22, 'N2', 'de-DE') AS Test -- Dot separatedSELECT 123321123321.22 AS Test -- No separationThis although will be rendered with align to left most certainly - as webcon will treat it as text.Also, are you sure that we are talking about integers? Integer numbers don't have fractional part, so i assumed, that we are talking about decimals ;)

Appearance of INT in a data table

2024-03-05T10:53:53+01:00

Hello,I know if we have a field type Integer you can set its appearance like a) 123456,00 or b) 123 456,00 or c) 123,456.00I'm wondering if we can change, by any chance, the way an INT looks like inside a data table field as well. Because at the moment, into the data table is looking like d) 123.456,00.. and I don't have the option to choose this format for other fields as well.Thank you!

Saving sub-worflow ID to item list column

2024-03-04T12:30:10+01:00

HI, Here's another option, in the path were you're lauching the Subworkflow, you can add a Change Item list action and use the query to enter the ID:select {WFCONCOL:1774} as DET_ID, WFD_ID as {DCNCOL:121}from wfelements where wfd_wfdid = {WFD_ID} and WFD_Dtypeid = {DT:72}and isnull({WFCONCOL:1774}, '') ''

All uses of connections and data sources via SQL query

2024-03-01T11:51:37+01:00

I tried to do some more digging, and the hardest ones to do present will be probably actions, as SQL queries for actions, are stored as XML.In WFActions there is ACT_Configuration column, which contains xml like this: select det_id,0 as {DCNCOL:134}from wfelementdetails where det_wfdid = {WFD_ID} and det_wfconid = {WFCON:101} and ({DCNCOL:126} + {DCNCOL:127}+ {DCNCOL:128} <> {DCNCOL:51}) For Business rules in WFBusinessRuleDefinitions there is BRD_Value column, and you should be able to filter it out with BRD_Name = 'SQL COMMAND'Another place where SQL Queries show up is WFConfigurations in WFCON_SelectOrCaml column.It seems like in the end both ways you'll have to check it manually for the first time, but doing it in SQL will help you in case you'll have to do it again.

Hotmailbox value on change

2024-02-29T21:37:32+01:00

Hi Maria,when you read the following keep in mind, that I have no real experience with Hot mail box.Form rules and style and behavior actions are only executed in the browser. Since the instance is updated through the hot mailbox feature, there's no browser involved. Instead the service user is updating it. I'm assuming that this is done via a "saving". Therefore I would test adding actions to the "Upon instance saving" trigger to execute an additional action. If it works you need to find a solution, so that the actions still only get executed when the instance is updated via the service user with an email. Maybe by checking the current user and if an email attachment was added in the last 2 seconds.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/#types-of-actionsBest regards,Daniel

Viewing a value from a choice field in a report

2024-02-29T21:26:15+01:00

Hi Raluca,as far as I can tell the display name is not always resolved and in the DB only the ID is stored. I don't know when it happens but there are some cases.When the workflow instance is then displayed in the form, the fields are "recalculated" and if you hit save, the data may be updated. This doesn't happen in the report. The reason why you see the id in the report at all is, that starting with BPS 2023 the rules/logic was changed so that any value in a choice field without a # is interpreted as the displayname. At least this is my assumptions based on my experience in a similar case. I had a lengthy discussions about this whole change to how the rules and the calculated_id field works to no avail.Best regards,Daniel

Maybe I wasn't very clear - I don't want to use "sql command" to call this query. I am using SSMS.I meant to find all the places in the system where the functions visible in Studio as "Integration -> SQL COMMAND" are used, and the rest where pure SQL is used.

I'm almost sure that it will be more accurate and faster, but it will require a lot of thinking on where SQL could be used, to make sure that you get all the places.But you have to find them either way, manually, or with query.Why is there a SQL COMMAND needed though? It will be much easier to create that query using some external tools like Azure Data Studio, DBeaver, or SQL Server Management Studio.If you can query database with webcon, there should be no problem to get permissions to query database directly. It's basically the same access.

Needs to list from all processes all SQL queries along with what connection/data source they relate to, process, workflow, attribute/path, etc.The whole system consists of many complex processes that may use data pulled directly from SQL databases.I am hoping that this approach will be more accurate than manually reviewing each process.

You could easily retrieve SQL Queries from Data Sources, they are stored in WFS_SelectCommand column (WFDataSources table).I'm not sure what you want to do with those queries later, you should be able to execute them using sp_executesql function, and there is no need to nest SQL Command - you use just one.Although I'm not sure if i'd recommend it, as i don't know the use case - could you share an idea why you want to do it?Also, it works well for SQL Sources, for Internal Sources, there is no query, but some XML structure with filter values, so this might be harder.

Viewing a value from a choice field in a report

2024-02-29T11:17:10+01:00

Hi,I encountered the following error. I have an action that sets a value in a choice field. I set the choice field through the value of the ID. When I enter the form, the value is correctly set, and it displays the name corresponding to the set ID. However, when I enter the report, in that column, I see the value of the ID instead of the name. I tested by setting the value in the choice field as follows: id#name, and I no longer encountered the problem. Why does it behave differently in the report when filling out the choice field through the value of the ID?Thanks,Raluca

Thank you Maksymilian for the hint. Do you think this idea is also good for retrieving the sql queries themselves from the data sources?Or is this rather unrealistic due to the possibility of nested "SQL COMMAND" action calls?

CAML to Edit a list element in a sub-folder of a SharePoint document library

2024-02-28T22:01:47+01:00

Hi, Does anyone know how to use the 'Edit a list element' action to update a document element in a SharePoint document library that is in a sub folder in the SharePoint document library? I am trying to use a CAML query and while I can find documents in the root document library, I can't get the CAML to find documents in a sub folder in the document library. I should mention that this appears to be WEBCON specific since the CAML query does return subfolder contents if I use a regular CAML query editor (like SmartCAML)So for example in my test SharePoint 2016 site I have a library called 'testlibrary' where I can see all files with no problems. But when I point the CAML query to any sub-folder in the document library then I can't see the documents in the sub folder. Here is an example of my CAML to query the documents in a sub folder called 'abc'. It works when I run this in a CAML editor, but does not return results in Webcon/webcon/subsite/testlibrary/abc

All uses of connections and data sources via SQL query

2024-02-28T13:49:45+01:00

Hi Marcin, yes it is possible to get that information with SQL Query, here some simple examples, which should help you start:Data Sources Applications:SELECT WFS_Name, APP_Name FROM AppDataSourceAssocs JOIN WFDataSources ON WFS_ID = ADSA_WFSID JOIN WFApplications ON APP_ID = ADSA_APPIDData Connnections Applications:SELECT WFC_Name, APP_Name FROM AppDataConnectionAssocs JOIN WFDataConnections ON WFC_ID = ADCA_WFCID JOIN WFApplications ON APP_ID = ADCA_APPIDTo list it based on process, you will need WFDefinitions, WFConfigurations. It looks like you should be also able to query for specific places where a data connection/source is used - WFConfigurations, and WFBusinessRuleDefinitions will help with that.In attachment a quick diagram (with missing AppDataConnectionAssocs though) of those tables in schema, that should help. I'd recommend creating your own diagram to see specific FK to join on :)@Edit, it happend that i needed this type of query today, and here is query to get application, process and field name for chosen data sources: SELECT APP_Name, DEF_Name, WFCON_Prompt, WFS_Name, WFCON_ID, WFS_ID FROM WFConfigurations JOIN WFDataSources ON WFS_ID = WFCON_WFSID JOIN WFDefinitions ON DEF_ID = WFCON_DEFID JOIN WFApplications ON APP_ID = DEF_APPID WHERE WFS_ID IN (325, 108, 262, 261) -- Could be WFS_Name too.

Hotmailbox value on change

2024-02-28T11:35:40+01:00

Hello,I have set up a hotmailbox - Add to elements based on e-mail content.I am saving the BodyContent to a multiple lines of text form field called BodyContent - set always.I have created a global Menu buton which must be triggered when the value of BodyContent changes.So, on the form field - Style and behavior - Form rule to be exeuted on value change - I set "Invoke menu action - my button".If i send another e-mail and i mention that Instance ID, the value of BodyContent is modified, but the form rule is not executed.Do you have any tips on how i can achieve something like this?The idea is that i would like to run some actions when an user is replying.thank you.

2 timeouts, only first runs, why?

2024-02-23T15:36:12+01:00

Hi Joanna,Timeout insert conditions are checked when an instance enters the step. If condition is not met when entering the step, the timeout will never be executed, even if the condition is eventually met while the instance stays in that step.If that's not the case, you should share screenshots of your timeouts' configuration.

2 timeouts, only first runs, why?

2024-02-23T15:23:50+01:00

Hello. I have a process where, on a certain step, I've made 2 timeouts. First one, will happen when this condition will be true: SELECT CASE WHEN Count < '4' AND Urgent = 'true' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS ResultFROM wfelementsWHERE wfd_id = {WFD_ID}Inside this timeout, there is an automation that will increase by 1 the value of the Count. And there is the second timeout configured, that will happen when the next condition is true: SELECT CASE WHEN Count = '4' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS ResultFROM wfelementsWHERE wfd_id = {WFD_ID}that will move the instance to a certain path. The problem is that, second timeout never runs, even if Count will actually become 4 at a certain time.. Can you help in any way? Thank youu!

WEBCON is going to provide support for KSeF. You can find more information here: https://webcon.com/pl/ksef-connector/ or simply contact your account manager to get more details.

On start (cyclical) - question

2024-02-20T15:31:28+01:00

It's impossible to answer that question without knowing the use case/business scenario.For example, if you're making an integration with external system and want to update a workflow element when corresponding document in external system is updated, a common mistake is to cyclically check status of external document using timeout/recurrent actions on workflow elements. That would create multiple versions of workflow element + log a lot of data. A better idea would be to do integration other way around - once a document in external system is updated, it could invoke WEBCON BPS internal API to update workflow element. Generally it is not bad to execute timeouts every minute, as long as they're not infinite or you don't update thousands of elements at once. Ask yourself how long you'll need to wait until the timeout stops being executed, how many element versions it will create and how many elements you're updating at once. Sometimes you could get better results simply by executing timeouts with less frequency.

On start (cyclical) - question

2024-02-20T13:07:00+01:00

Hi, If we are forced to use a timeout every minute, could you recommend a more optimal alternative?

On start (cyclical) - question

2024-02-20T12:37:21+01:00

Hi AndreeLl,I would strongly advice against using cyclical action every minute, even if executed actions won't affect workflow elements directly (ie. creating historical versions).On each recurrent action execution, new entries would be added to WFActionExecutions table (action logs) and AutomationSessionExecutions table (automation logs), making database size grow quickly and slowing down the system.Not mentioning the fact, that it would burden the Workflow Service, as it'd have constant work to do (alongside other tasks).Because the discussed topic is syncing users, I'd suggest configuring such automation to run, for example, every 3 hours, which is the same as default incremental synchronization of BPS Users List.Sincerely

2024-02-19T18:14:46+01:00

Hi Mihail,maybe there are other means, but the only way I know of is to use a "Create a task" action. There is a little information here about how it can be used:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/TaskAssign/Action_TaskCreationIf you use this, then you don't necessarily need to use the default functionality to assign task to a person.

Hi Radek,there is no way to display historical information on regular reports (as far as i know, I've been looking for something like this too).You could create form, with Data Table attribute, using SQL query as source. It's not the same, but in some cases might be enough.Add some filter attributes on form to create possibility to filter the table etc.

Deleted element in admin mode

2024-02-14T11:50:08+01:00

Hi Micha, You should be able to find that information in WFHistoryElements.Check column WFH_IsVersionOfDeletedElement for true values (1), WFH_OrgId specifies WFD_ID from WFElements.From what i've learned so far it seems like there is just one row in HistoryElements, after deleting element.There was also similar topic few days ago:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/4326

Reports / SQL question to compare 3 items 2 types

2024-02-14T09:30:18+01:00

Hi Pawe,as you noticed, a report can only display process fields, if a single process is selected. One exception to this are global fields.You have the option to add a calculated column to retrieve other information.Depending on the number of calculated columns and the complexity of the SQL command it may have a negative impact on the performance.If you play around with calculated columns, you can activate the diagnostic mode to view the executed SQL.Best regards,Daniel

BPS groups extraction by sql command?

I wonder if this business rule maybe gets data from SQL table Calendars ?If so, then you might need to generate new data into the calendar (+ icon next to year dropdown): https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/WorkingDaysCalendarAre you able to show us some screenshots of business rule, and email config? It would be much easier to help ;)

Update on the current case:I can now trigger the info mail again, unfortunately it still has the wrong content. But that is currently secondary. Strangely enough, the infomail is only triggered if the execution condition is deleted. These were originally specified that the infomail should only be created on working days.I definitely didn't change anything about these conditions because they were created by a predecessor and worked great! Never touch a running system.If I delete the condition, the info email will be sent. If I add these again, then no more. The conditions are defined as a business rule, therefore I can easily install and remove them as they were.So the cause is somewhere there, even if, as I said, I haven't changed anything there...

Hi Maksymilian,I actually get NO error message. So basically the workflow seems to be going through. The only thing is that I don't receive any information emails. In the global actions, the value in the number of correct executions field is also incremented.The workflow was last executed correctly yesterday at 3:45 p.m. CET.Therefore, I want to try to find the specific adjustments that I made afterwards that might now mean that it no longer works. Originally I tried to find out why the content of the infomail was no longer correct. There were more complaints listed here than there should have been.I therefore compared across two screens where the difference in the workflow version is between Test and Dev. So I didn't actually consciously change anything, but went through all the steps. The info email from 3:45 p.m. was still functional, with incorrect content.Since I couldn't find any errors, I finished the work at some point and wanted to start looking again the next day with a fresh head. Now, as I said, it no longer triggers any emails.Attached are the screenshots of the history and the ID number, which I would like to find exactly in order to be able to understand the history.where I missed something.

Replace item list values

2024-02-13T10:28:11+01:00

Hi, I don't think the "Replace Item List Values" action is working properly. When I provide a BPS source in the configuration and use a filter to select data, the filter does not work on the form. The filter in Designer Studio works during testing. This problem does not occur in the "Update Item List Values" action, so I used a workaround: "Clear Item List" + "Update Item List Values" / Add new rows from the data source. Do you also have such a problem?However, using the SQL query instead of the BPS source and filter works fine.My BPS version: 2023.1.3.76RegardsD.

Importing elements into a process that is not a dictionary process

2024-02-12T17:46:52+01:00

Hi Darek,When I need to do that, I prepare a small workflow with 2 steps, field for Business Entity (+ maybe other parameter that will stay the same for 1 batch), and an item list with the colums you need on the target workflow. Make The fieldtypes in the item list the same as in the targetworkflow/-form.Map the item list colums according to your source file for import.Then put an "Create subworkflow (SQL)" action on the path between the 2 steps, that creates 1 workflow for every line in the target process/workflow/form. Make sure you set it to "...unrelated to current workflow instance" to avoid creating subworkflows depending on the import.The Query you need is used to map the values from wfelementdetails table to the target fields. This is done by using the Fieldobjects, so in my statement each field is as follows: Select [columnobject1 from item list] as [FieldobjectX in target workflow]... The system translates this to e.g.: Select DETAtt1 as WFDAttText1... DET_WFCON in the where clause is the itemList object, and of course the DET_WFDID needs to match current workflow ID. The hard join through where clause with DET_WFDID = WFD_ID is used to get the values that are in the import workflow header, in my case the company is not in the item list, so its a field in wfelements. (you can see in query preview)I usually run a small batch for testing to prevent you from having to delete too much if things go wrong. Testing in DEV or TEST is not a bad idea either ;)Works like a charm for me. I have imported 700 colleagues, more than 9000 suppliers for several companies, and some other stuff.BRChris

Hi AndreeLi,I see that all the fields are configured as Single Line of Text (AttText) - on database level it means, they can not exceed 255 characters.I'd check if Content of the email doesn't exceed it, maybe try using Multiple Lines of Text attribute?There is also mode for more than 1 attachment -> Error configured. Sometimes some images inserted into email are treated as attachments, so i'd check that too.

How to compare process conficuration between production and test environments ?

2024-02-09T09:27:09+01:00

I'm not checking changes in the database directly - probably I'll start, when something won't work :)For now i trust that Webcon have this covered, and i don't really want to check it - it should just work out of the box.Due to creating an issue for each change (functionality, bug fix), I know all the changes that were made in specific release.It takes time to write them down, but i feel more comfortable when i know what I'm deploying.Looking at many open source projects on github - there are no changes in the code (functionality, bug fix) without creating an issue first, and that's what I'm taking from regular programming.I know that view you've created is more technical one, but i recalled that i have some views too, and might share how i'm handling it as well.If you are creating views for specific applications, my route for now is creating schema per application, for which i can assign privileges.Those schemas are managed with Flyway (https://flywaydb.org/) so specific application version is connected with specific schema version, both are being kept in the same gitlab repository.

Importing elements into a process that is not a dictionary process

2024-02-07T08:14:34+01:00

Hi Darek,there is no ready functionality, which could do that, but there are few ways how you could achieve it.1. Using global cyclic action with start a subworkflow action -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartManyWorkFlows/This way you need to have source data in an SQL table, and store some kind of identifier, to check if specific row already have been created in Webcon.List items are populated using actions on register paths.2. Using REST API and powershell -> https://developer.webcon.com/docs/rest-api/This way there is no need to create additional actions on Webcon side, you can specify all the data in request, but it still might require some additional paths.No need to have origin data in sql, it could be an excel, csv, or even another rest api.I wrote some time ago a series on that topic, you could read more here -> https://blog.lumenn.pl/importing-data-to-webcon-1/

"" or '' in field name and StartElementInNewWindow [solved]

2024-02-06T09:06:23+01:00

Hi Pawe,WEBCON uses variables to replace fields/elements as you have seen / may know. In business rules they are marked masked {} and in form rules #{}# is used as the {} is a reserved character/will be used also in other cases. The prefix of the variables return a different result. You can read up on it here:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Variables/{I:ID} {I:name} {I:WFD_name} {I:DTYPE_name} {I:DEF_name} value of the form field. If the field is a choice field containing "#" it is the value before "#".{N:ID} {N:name} {N:WFD_name} {N:DTYPE_name} {N:DEF_name} value of the form field. If the field is a choice field containing "#" it is the value after "#".If you don't know what something is, the easiest way is to put it into the expression editor and hit "show". You can also activate the advanced edit mode, which will show you the variable names.Off topic:If you would use a PowerShell action you will have to take care of the variable too, because in PowerShell also uses {}. At least it was an issue in the past.Best regards,Daniel

Calendar DateTime - activate date selection in current month, deactivate date selection before and after current month

2024-02-05T22:13:43+01:00

Hi Sandra,I went down the rabbit hole how we could customize it. I would have been interested in a solution too.First approach: Create a form field extensionI didn't come very far with this because I wasn't able to create the basic setup for a generic form field extension due various errors.Copying over a FormFieldExtension folder from another project didn't work either.While doing so I tried to figure out which library is used by WEBCON. It seems that it's a fork of an outdated version of the react-date-picker component.But as I mentioned in the end I wasn't able to build even the default extension.Second approach: HTML fieldThe source code of the date picker clearly shows that it's not setup for min/max dates.One alternative would be to use the field as a technical field and display a custom HTML input field of type date. The picker would have a different layout, but at least it supports min/max dates.The problem with this is, that the date format cannot be defined. It defaults to the browser language, which can differ from the profile language. It will also validate the format of the value. If the WEBCON date field doesn't support min/max dates, and the standard doesn't have a solution for languages, you could either look for an alternative date picker, or mix the date fields the other way around. The date picker of the custom field could trigger the date picker of the hidden standard input field. Even if you make it work with all the logic, like new date, no changed date, empty date and so on. You would still be left with validating a manually entered value in the field which should match the profile language. We are back where we started.For the moment I have no interested in investigating this further. Maybe someone else gleaned an idea from these thoughts.Best regads,Daniel

How to compare process conficuration between production and test environments ?

2024-02-05T16:58:51+01:00

Hi Micha,I don't think I have any good news in this topic.TLDR; There is not a great way to do this, and at te end i'm sharing my gitlab flow :)Before importing app to environment, there is no good way to see what will be changed. After, you can always check History of Changes, and it's also not super useful: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Process/module_2_4_6_5, but you are able to see which configs were changed.The .bpe package which is created on export of application is a file you can unzip, and inside there is file without extension, but it's XML with all the configs.This is rather big XML, and not really human friendly. Maybe it is possible to parse it, but creating such a thing will be very dependant on any structure changes from WEBCON side.If i recall correctly, on latest WEBCON DAY there was some insight, that there will be functionality, which will generate documentation of changes - similar to how regular documentation is created, but don't quote me on this, unless someone else will confirm it :)When it comes to the GitHub part. I'm using GitLab personally, but it's nothing like using git with regular code. I'm not resolving merge conflicts, I'm not even doing any branches. It's just main branch, with commits corresponding to new versions.My flow looks like this:* Change request -> Create new issue* When there are few requests -> Collect issues into new milestone (I'm naming those using https://semver.org/).* After closing all issues in a milestone -> Close milestone* Manually create a write up of changes -> Export BPS Package, and put changes in the description field* Commit package, and push it to main* Create tag for latest commit* Create release from selected tag, and also use that changelog created earlierIn case of any hotfixes* Create issue* Fix manually on dev, then on prod (without import/export, and also i'm skipping test here)* Assign issue to the Next milestone, so it will be connected to next bigger releaseImport/export is unfortunatelly painfull when you have to do things like 'Add column X on report Y', or 'Display column Y on a picker field'.I hope that Webcon will someday make us surprise with some CI/CD stuff, at this moment adding small changes frequently is rather not pleasant experience, but looking at high performing developer teams this seems like a good practice.

Start editing a file using OneDrive

2024-02-05T15:52:26+01:00

Hello dear community!I have a question regarding OneDrive. I've set up a path that loops back to the same step. On this path, I have the action 'Start editing a file using OneDrive'. Additionally, I have established a data connection to my OneDrive in 'Data Sources', which works when tested. However, when I execute everything, it loads for a bit, and then I receive the error message: 'Error transferring the file test.docx', even though the document is in my OneDrive folder as configured. Regarding permissions, I should have set everything correctly as I've already checked that. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

Calendar DateTime - activate date selection in current month, deactivate date selection before and after current month

2024-02-05T13:28:10+01:00

Hi,I haven't tried it, but I believe it's possible through JavaScript if you manage to retrieve the field's ID from the HTML. I would opt for creating an HTML type field with a data type field and make the modifications there. It would be simpler to set an alert action at the field level and alert users that they have not selected the correct value.Thanks,Raluca

How to use abstract plugin / plugin config from another project?

2024-02-04T18:46:33+01:00

Hello,I am in the process of standardizing our plugin packages. I would like to put all plugins on a common basis in order to be able to reuse functions such as custom logging methods in each plugin package without copying source code.I have often used nested plugin and configuration classes within a plugin package project. This works without any problems.Example:*** shared project / solution ***Base plugin class:public abstract class MyCustomActionBase : CustomAction where TConfig: MyCustomActionConfigBase, new(){public override Task RunAsync(RunCustomActionParams args){/* initialize own logger object... *//* run action */return MyRunAsync(args);}public abstract Task MyRunAsync(RunCustomActionParams args);}Base config class:public abstract class MyCustomActionConfigBase : PluginConfiguration{[ConfigEditableText(DisplayName = "BaseConfigValue")]public string BaseConfigValue { get; set; }}*** extending / 'productive' project / solution ***Custom plugin class:public class MyCustomAction : MyCustomActionBase{public override Task MyRunAsync(RunCustomActionParams args){/* do something... */return Task.CompletedTask;}}Custom config class:public class MyCustomActionConfig : MyCustomActionConfigBase{[ConfigEditableText(DisplayName = "ConfigValue")]public string ConfigValue { get; set; }}Result:The plugin itself is executed correctly, but the Designer Studio seems to have a problem loading the configuration class correctly. Only the configuration field from the 'MyCustomActionConfig' class is displayed, but not the configuration field from the 'MyCustomActionConfigBase' class. If the plugin/config classes and the base classes are in the same project, the problem does not occur.Can anyone give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong? Or is this a problem with WEBCON itself?Tank you!Marco

Cos we have tested it via the postman but we were not able to retrive the data. Are there any other way?

Update form field - finish state

2024-01-31T20:28:02+01:00

@MaksThat reminds me of something I read in the latest 2022 release, which I read to get an idea what will be in the next 2023 release:Change Log:Increased the maximum value of a workflow instance version when assigning a task to users. Previously, a task could be assigned for instances whose version was a maximum 16-bit integer (int16); after the changes, this value can reach a maximum of 32 bits (int32)Maxing out 16 bit or 65536 version.....And it seems, that this wasn't by accident either, as this was related to tasks.I think everyone misconfigured a Timeout which cause the creation of a lot of versions, but this. :)

Update form field - finish state

2024-01-31T12:54:41+01:00

Running update every 15 minutes, will create 96 versions of the document daily. If there will be many documents like that, then it might eat disk space.As Daniel said, I'd rather keep a data row on the form, an if you need it on report - use calculated column with subquery like this:(SELECT SUM(WFD_ATT2) AS Sum -- Sum of all the rowsFROM WFElementDetails JOINWFConfigurations ON DET_WFCONID = WFCON_IDWHEREDET_WFDID = wfelems.WFD_ID AND --wfelems is a name available in calculated columns, it refers to the id of the document displayed in specific rowWFCON_GUID = '{GUID of the item list}' -- guid is environment safe, no need to worry about changing list id between environments)It might cause some speed issues though, but i think that's a better option than 96 updates daily.

MailApproval and Form field validation on path

Rest API 409 Conflict Error

2024-01-31T11:40:38+01:00

Hi Joanna,There should be more details in the action logs in the response from the API. Looking at the configuration screenshots, I suspect that the reason for the error is that you are performing a rest action on an instance that tries to modify the same instance. You will most likely get an instance checkout error in the details, but underneath the instance waits to save until the action is completed, and the rest action is waiting for the instance to finish saving and be free.

MailApproval and Form field validation on path

2024-01-30T09:24:52+01:00

Hi Guys,I use MailApproval on some paths in our application. Now I have the somewhat unusual behavior that an acceptance via MailApproval is rejected with a validation error. If I carry out the acceptance in the same process (same instance) in the application, it works.The option Form field validation is checked on the paths. If i deselect, it works.This is what MailApproval returns:#################Path transition operation failed: Operation on element: DEV/WAVE/2024/556 failed. Error: The following path was selected: Freigabe erteilt, weiterleiten an BL. {Name of the path in german}Status: Document not moved to next step.Details: Validation error #################Does anyone have a spontaneous idea why this runs into an error via MailApproval and not in the application?Thanks in advance!

How to enable the field that is multiple line of text?

2024-01-30T08:12:35+01:00

You can achieve this by ticking the checkbox "Invoke callback rules on value change" of the answer field.Combined with your "column edit restriction" on the description field, it should work the way you intended.

How to enable the field that is multiple line of text?

2024-01-30T07:42:43+01:00

In a form, I initialize an item list. In this list i have columns : question, response and description. In some questions I have only response called '(n/a). While the n/a answer is applicable I want to enable the description column. However, I cannot use the enable on choice field. I have tried to put condtions in a 'column edit restricion' but this does not work as it would require add another response and that is not what buisness would like.

Premature termination of workflow - how to do it?

2024-01-26T14:57:48+01:00

As Daniel already said, there is no such thing in Webcon.There is one Exception - you can configure single path on a step, which returns to a previous step, so it's not connected to a specific one.In this place, you can choose 'Previous step', as a destination: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Step/Path/Step_Paths#5-destination-stepI'm currently creating 'Terminate' paths from basically all steps, to 'Terminated' step, for all workflows.Even when users says there is no need, there soon will be, and It's good to have them hidden under Admin button ;)A tip to make it less tedious - configure single path, and then just copy it, no need to configure it from ground up on each step.

Premature termination of workflow - how to do it?

2024-01-26T13:04:56+01:00

Hi Rafa,you are right, you need to have a path that leads from one step to another. You can not simply "jump" between steps.If you need to do /execute actions you can either execute them in the OnEntry of the final step or create an automation and use this automation in the steps.If you don't want to the path in the diagram, you can hide them. That being said, I don't know PercussionPowerFlow, in WEBCON there is no actual "termination". You can always move the workflow back /forward to another step.Best regards,Daniel

Premature termination of workflow - how to do it?

2024-01-26T11:20:33+01:00

Hello everyone,Many years ago I was using PercussionPowerFlow for Lotus Notes.There were nice features in the workflow to "jump out/jump back" from/to current state to ah hoc state. This was very useful for prematurely terminating or suspending workflows.As far as I've dug into the Werbcon, I haven't found anything like that.Everything has to be done strictly according to the workflow definition.So if I have one start, 3 ends and 10 statuses in the middle, do I need to add a special termination path to all 10 statuses in the middle?Is there any other method with only one instance of something that could prematurely terminate the process?Rafa

I would use a data row column instead.Volatile values are often a problem.Regarding updating the value you could use the "update related workflow" action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Workflow/UpdateParentWorkflow/Best regards,Daniel

Hi,From what I know, an instance does not update itself, however you can add an action for each instance from different processes that updates this instance where you want to see the total.For example:instance 1 - holds the total valueinstance 2 and 3 holds value used for the total in instance 1.Each time you do any change to instance 2 or 3, you have an action that will trigger an update to instance 1.Hope it helpsRegards

Update form field - finish state

2024-01-25T11:16:16+01:00

Hello,I have a process (start - finish) that creates an instance and remains in the "Finish" state. Here, I have the following form fields: "Quantity TOTAL" (Floating-point number) and "Quantity" (Data table). In that data table, I have other instances from a different process, and in one column (Quantity Requested), I calculate the sum. How could I save that sum in Quantity TOTAL and have it consistently updated? (i mean - transferring the Aggregation type Sum value in my form field).Currently, I have an issue where it's not updated unless I enter the instance in edit mode and save it after.That instance is set to read-only.Can you help, please?Thank you!

List of items - two different values in one column of a table

2024-01-25T09:22:57+01:00

Hello Sandra,I think you need to use the UNPIVOT. Something along these lines should do:SELECT AttributeName, AttributeValueFROM ( SELECT WFD_AttText1, WFD_AttText2 FROM WFElements) AS SourceUNPIVOT ( AttributeValue FOR AttributeName IN (WFD_AttText1, WFD_AttText2)) AS UnpivotedData;I haven't tested it but it should at least give you the direction.

List of items - two different values in one column of a table

2024-01-24T22:06:04+01:00

Hello Community, I've got a problem. I've got two workflows, a parent and one subworkflow. I'm trying to transfer data from the parent workflow (single line of text attributes - 'email' and 'phone') to a table in the subworkflow with the item list update action. The table has columns ('value' - single line of text and 'contact type'(selection list: 1#Mail, 2#Phone)). How to write an SQL query to put different WFD_AttText attributes into one DET_Att column and different Att_Choose values into one DET_Value column into the 'value' column, so that the 'email' and 'phone' attributes get good contact types.

Used and available days in vacation chart stopped working

2024-01-24T11:15:09+01:00

Yes Dariusz, I have the source defined. The problem seemed to occur when in the vacation history data source were rows that had no date from or/and date to (the values were empty or null). The chart was then displayed but only when the available/used days elements were not shown. If they were to be visible, then the chart would crush. Problem solved :)

Hi Marco, which WEBCON BPS Version are you running? Is it using .NetCore 6 or older?If stumbled across this one:https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/898 Fix the issue by matching the System.Data.Odbc package version relative to the dotnet version you are on. Example, if you are on .net 5, go to System.Data.Odbc package and make sure you are also on one of the versions starting with 5.Regarding screenshots.You can add more, when you edit the post. :)Best regards,Daniel

Trouble with different runtime environments of service (.NET Framework) and portal (.NET Core) and System.Data.ODBC

2024-01-22T11:43:17+01:00

I carried out a series of tests and documented them:My Visual Studio solution / project structure:- see attached Image "Project Structure - NuGet Packages.png- there are three projects: 'ClassLibrary', 'ConsoleApp' and 'MoB.ODBCNetStandardTest'- the target runtime of 'ClassLibrary' is '.NET Standard 2.0' and includes 'System.Data.ODBC' as a required NuGet package- the target runtime of 'ConsoleApp' is 'NET 6.0' and includes 'ClassLibrary' as a project dependency- 'MoB.ODBCNetStandardTest' is the plugin package project, targets to '.NET Standard 2.0', includes 'System.Data.ODBC' as a required NuGet package and has no link/dependency to the two other projectsThe 'ClassLibrary' / 'ConsoleApp' construct was a hint from WEBCON support in an older support ticket for the 'System.Data.ODBC is not supported on this platform.' error (see below) occurred after changing the portal runtime in 2022.1 by WEBCON.The trick is to take the 'System.Data.ODBC.dll' file from 'ConsoleApp'\bin\Debug\net6.0\runtimes\win\lib\net6.0 folder and add it to the plugin package zip file.I ran each test in three variations of how the System.Data.ODBC.dll is published, with three System.Data.ODBC NuGet package versions and on both my Win11 and a Win2k22 system.Each test followed these steps:- adjust included System.Data.ODBC NuGet Package version- clean solution- build each solution project (order: 'ClassLibrary', 'ConsoleApp', 'MoB.ODBCNetStandardTest')- publish WEBCON plugin package- (optional) add System.Data.ODBC.dll to the plugin package zip file- upload plugin package in WEBCON Designer Studio- stop IIS app pool- restart WEBCON Workflow Service- start IIS app pool- refresh WEBCON Portal site on the browser- execute form action (global action / 'Menu button') on the browser to execute the plugin at portal (.NET runtime)- execute form action (global action / 'On start (cyclical)') on the designer studio to execute the plugin at service (.NET Framework runtime)The rusults in short:Only on my local Win11 developer client System.Data.ODBC only works in version 6.0.0.0 within the service. I will post the results next (only one image allowed per post at this forum?)

Used and available days in vacation chart stopped working

2024-01-20T10:52:34+01:00

I've noticed after installing 2023.1.3.29 that vacation charts stopped working and investigated what is the problem. After some tests it seems that the values of used and avalilable days that were previously automatically calculated based on the items already in the workflow are the problem and probably an error occurs when the engine tries to calculate them. When I turn off the visibility of both fields and leave only the "from previous year" and "from current year" ones visible, tha chart works. It stops working as soon as I try to make "Used" visible.The problem occurs only when there is a vacaton entry which has no dates specified.

Form rules on load of main page?

2024-01-19T22:19:08+01:00

Hi Micha,I'm not aware of any option. I found one "option", but I don't really like it. https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/global-jsI've an idea for an external tool approach:You could deploy to a PowerShell script to each PC. This script could use the API to get the report /view of todays "being at work" confirmations. If there's none for the current user, you could open the browser with the URL to create a new entry.The script could be executed via the task schedule and trigger "user logged on". But this would only work, if there's internet connection and how to store the password of the Application, so that the users can't vie the information of other users.Btw, you could also modify my "Punch clock" project slightly:https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2020/yet-another-simple-punch-clockInstead of logging to a local file you could use the API to start the workflow. I've read the other post, but I don't have a vacation request and currently no time for creating one. Best regards, Daniel

He all,I was searching, but can't find information anywhere. Is there a possibility to run some javascript or form rules on load of the main website page of local webcon instance? I'm preparing a process where users manually confirm their being at work. It would be very appeciated, that when tey load any page of local webcon instance, there would be some code testing if they already confirmed their being at work. If they didn't, they would be redirected to the appropriate element. If they did, nothing would happen. Is there a way to do this in webcon, or do I need to do it with external tools?

Leave of absence and entries with future dates

2024-01-19T10:47:47+01:00

Hi everyone,For a couple of days I've been trying to resolve this issue with no luck, so maybe you will come up with some solution. The case:I 've created an application and a process with the use of absence process wizard (the one in the main menu of designer studio). However it is not to be used for absences only, but in a similar way - for presence confirmation. The idea is simple - there is one workflow in this new application in which users confirm they worked in a given date - either in the office (with working hours) or at home or were delegated to some place. There is another, more technical workflow in this app, which gathers the entries from 2 workflows: the one I just mentioned and another one from different application, which is responsible for processing the absences (holiday absences and sick leaves). When the entries are created in this different application (employee adds an absence or HR adds the sick leave) an action creates entries in this presence confirmation technical workflow. So this technical workflow stores the entries providing information when employees were absent and when they were working. So this is really something similar to attendance list (see the attached picture for the example).My goal is to be able to view all this information on one "vacation chart". All seems to be configured correctly (see the attached picture), but on the chart I only see the entries that have past dates (the ones with future dates and the one from today are not shown). I need the ones from today and the future too! Or at least today, but then the graph should be cofigured so that the last date shown would be today - and this is not possible as then minimum future period you can select in the config is 1 month ahead. This really confused me, because I have 2 other applications that use the absence process template and there is no such problem (however they were created 3 or 4 years ago, so the process template version could be different back then). All the entries are shown - both the past ones and the future ones, and the workflow template cofiguration uses vacation history and no vacation plans. Can you please take a look at this and suggest what I'm doing wrong?EDIT: When I add in the workflow config "vacation plans" data source (with exactly the same elements, but column names according to the requirements of this data source) I see the future elements, but as expected they have no type and thus all are of the same color. Not a solution for me unfortunately.EDIT 2:It is possible in this case to display on one vacation chart both past elements (with colors and legend, but no link to the elements) and future elements (just one unchangable color with no legend but with a link to the element). Still I can't understand why "today" is regarded as the future event and why plans do link to the elements and history events can't. Am I the only one thinking that this is inconsistent and illogical? Why can't I decide what elements should be displayed in both groups simply by filtering the data sources values?? And why does my old vacation process allow me to display future elements listed in "vacation history" data source on the vacation chart?

Generating Excel without headings

2024-01-19T10:34:37+01:00

Hi Micha,I only know a part of your use case but I want to let you know of two options I'm aware of:There's a PowerShell library for working with Excel file which doesn't require excel to be installed. Maybe a PowerShell action could help you in this case. At least, if the App has an API to which you can upload the document from PowerShell. While it would be possible to read / get the Excel file, it will get tricky to write it back, as the workflow will be checked out during the action execution.https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcelThe PowerShell uses an old version of a now commercial solution. There's still this .dll around which could be used in an SDK to remove the headers.https://www.nuget.org/packages/EPPlusFree/Best regards,Daniel

Generating Excel without headings

2024-01-19T10:16:08+01:00

Exactly, I need an Excel file with no headers because this is only accepted by the app I want my users to import this file to. If I only hide them thay will still be there, as you said. Too bad, as this would be easy to program in the designer studio.

Trouble with different runtime environments of service (.NET Framework) and portal (.NET Core) and System.Data.ODBC

2024-01-18T16:55:14+01:00

Hello Community,We have problems with the different runtime environments of the WBCON Workflow Service (under .NET Framework) and the WEBCON BPS Portal (under .NET Core) and System.Data.ODBC.I have developed an SDK plugin that integrates the NuGet package System.Data.ODBC to access ODBC data sources.The target runtime environment of the plugin package is .NET Standard 2.0, so that the plugins can be executed both in the service and portal. Without the integration of System.Data.ODBC this works without any problems.As soon as the NuGet package System.Data.ODBC is integrated and used, the plugin only works in the portal (.NET), but no longer in the service (.NET Framework).I have tested different System.Data.ODBC versions (6.0.0.0, 7.0.0.0, 8.0.0.0), but I always get the following error message (the version number in the error message is always identical to the System.Data.ODBC version used):System.IO.FileNotFoundException: the file or assembly "System.Data.Common, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" or a dependency of it was not found. The system cannot find the specified file.File name: "System.Data.Common, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"Only exception: on my local Windows 11 machine, on which I develop the plugin, the plugin also works in service when I use System.Data.ODBC version 6.0.0.0.I've already spent hours trying to find the unresolved dependency and looking for differences between my local Windows 11 development environment. Unfortunately without success so far.I think it might be a similar problem to the following forum post, but I'm not 100% sure.https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2707?messageid=2707Is there anyone here who can help me with any tips? The case is quite urgent, as the plugin has not worked for a customer since the WEBCON update last Friday and it is used intensively in applications for this customer.Thank you!Marco Bienlein, VSB

Hi Maria,the problem here is, that SharePoint Online doesn't allow to be hosted /embedded on all websites (domains). These need to be whitelisted. It won't make a difference how the iFrame would be added.By the way, the same applies to WEBCON BPS too.While I know that you can set these using the Content-Security-Policy in WEBCON I have no idea how to set them in SharePoint Online.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/SystemSettings_Security#2-custom-response-headersMaybe you find something online if you search for Content-Security-Policy.

Dynamically hide / show form fields based on field GUID (Javascript)

2024-01-17T21:38:15+01:00

Hi Nik,I don't know the use case, but it sounds strange. The only reason I can imagine you are using GUIDs is, that you are displaying the form in an iFrame and are passing the GUIDs via a message to the form. :)Nevertheless, I would use an HTML field in which a business rule returns a mapping of field GUIDs to ids in JSON format. This mapping can then be used to get the integer id based on your GUIDs.I'm doing something similar here, you need read until the end / until "2 Breadcrumb". https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/ux-form-rules-revised#1-common-functionsBest regards,Daniel

Hi Maria,SharePoint only If these documents can be displayed in SharePoint for example Word documents, I would check the URL and see whether you could use this URL as the source of an iFrame. If this is possible, there may be security restrictions and I have no idea, whether you can change them, you could modify dynamic parts of the URL to display the document. This would be my first approach. SDK approach The SDK contains the CustomFilesManager. This allows you to upload a document to the database with an expiration date.https://developer.webcon.com/2023/resources/sdk-reference/html/649e50c9-cc91-c965-fe85-5f53acd6fce3.htmAfterwards you can call GetUrl with FileViewMode previewhttps://developer.webcon.com/2023/resources/sdk-reference/html/685edde9-a355-439d-853a-bde039972231.htmI have used this for testing purposes ones in the past. I suspect that all file types are supported, which can currently displayed in preview. This approach could work for SharePoint and SQL. But it's an overhead and for SharePoint I would test the previous one first. Best regards,Daniel

Get the "old" value of a changed field

2024-01-17T21:20:09+01:00

Hi Klaus,my first ideas have been to always update the old value with the current one. This doesn't work if the field doesn't change but the workflow instance is saved. At the moment I have two idea:1. Requires JavaScriptThe "Change" rule will execute a JavaScript rule, which retrieves the data of the workflow instance from the database. Then the JavaScript would set the field to the value.2. The form rule set's another cell "Cell was changed". During the save/path transition you can check which rows contain this information, get the value from the history table and reset the "Field was changed" value back to false.I have here an example on retrieving the field value. You could use this as a starting point and amend this for the history of the item list.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/has-field-value-changedBest regards,Daniel

Hi Simon,I'm not sure whether you actually need the date diff function. Are you aware of the Timeout concept?https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Timeout/One use case of these is to send "reminders" after x minutes/days/weeks.The only caveat is, that it uses the step entry date. If you have any paths on this step, which lead to the same step, the step entry date is updated. I've described it here in more detail and I noticed I used the reminder as an example.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/unified-save-experience#differences-between-the-save-button-and-a-save-pathBest regards,Daniel

Hi Micha,I don't think there is a built in way to do it. The only thing that comes into my mind is using Generate an Excel file Action, with a template, where row with headers will be hidden. (Have not tested it though)It's still not what you are asking, because header will be there, just not visible.

The only quick option is to deactivate the license service in bps studio and activate it again (you must have authorization data for activation).Then assign a new user to the license when starting the studio, or wait a few months for the old one to become inactive and the license becomes available.Regards

Hi,could you share a little bit more which parts of Stirling-PDF do you want to use?I'm not sure which functionalities of FineReader are used by Webcon (didn't had a chance to use it), although from what i've read it for sure provides OCR (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/finereader-11-installation/93).Stirling-PDF underneath uses OCR-my-pdf, which you should be able to use to generate OCR layer too - no need to host whole GUI etc.https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDFUsing it's command line interface with Powershell Actions (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Integration/Action_PSExecutor) You should be able to create OCR layers.Inside powershell script:1. Use API/SQL to get attachment.2. Pass it to OCRmyPDF.3. Upload OCR'ed version of attachment back to Webcon - with API.

Hi, even so Maks already answered the question and I agree with him, that it should be done on the security level I have on other comment regarding filtering.If you want to have a fixed filter you can add this as an SQL filter.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Application/Presentation/AppReportsOverview/module_2_4_5_2_2_1_1#8-sqlsolr-filterIn this case it would be:and WFD_CreatedBy like trim('##currentloginname## ')+'#%'Edit:The placeholder/variable currentloginname (still) adds a space character in between the '' therefore we need the trim.Best regards,Daniel

Report restricition

2024-01-08T12:59:43+01:00

I'd say you shouldn't focus on restricting view on reports then, because hiding it on report is just security by obscurity. https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Insecure_Direct_Object_Reference_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.htmlHiding the url is not restricting access. They still will be able to display that form just by changing ID of element in the url, or if someone accidentally forwards email with link.What you want to achieve is the default behaviour of WEBCON I'd say.When user have only privileges to `Launch new workflow instances`, then they will see only those elements, which were created by them, and nothing more, unless they will have a task assigned (assigning a task gives privileges for modification).Did you set any higher privileges in the process or form/workflow for those managers? If not, then they shouldn't have access to everything.You might look at those:https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/webcon-bps-designer-studio-privileges/44https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Application/Application_Security

Yes exactly I am talking about forms, however your solution won't work, because the forms that are stored in the reports are sensitive date and from my test I can see users can clear filters and see other forms.For you better understanding of my application:- the application is for new employees hiring process- managers send requests for potential new positions, which is forwarded to appropriate board members- I want managers to have access to their forms, for example to see on what step is their request. But I don't want managers to see requests from other managers.Is it possible to block filtering in reports. Your solution would be usable.Thank you for help, much appreciated

Report restricition

2024-01-08T12:08:13+01:00

Hi Jan,I'm assuming that requests you mention, are some kind of form/element/document in WEBCON.If you want to create a report, which shows Requests Created By User - you could use Additional Filter for system field Created By set to .This filter although will be possible to remove by end users, but if it should only restrict the view on reports (not access to the documents), then this shouldn't be a problem i guess?

Sorry for late response,In case of generating word document - it somehow modifies the document - adds attachments, so for me it looks reasonable to require edit permissions.Could be some bugfix.I'd check if wrapping that action with add / remove permissions before and after inside one automation would work though.So 3 actions:1. Add edit permissions for current user.2. Generate document.3. Remove permissions.Not sure though if buttons with add/remove permissions will be visible without edit mode.If no automations, then just try actions one after another in this order.

Hello,I tried to recreate your error, but I could not do it. In my case all the table headers are correctly displayed as you can see in the picture.I won't say that the templates are working 100% all the time, so my suggestion is to edit the template again, delete the item list and any other spaces you might have and try again.I often encounter errors with templates that were functional at the beginning and after adding simple changes, some fields wont display correctly.Best Regards

Item list rows limit

2024-01-05T08:29:30+01:00

I don't know a solution that would block the item list under those conditions.For both cases, you can use confirmation messages, and in case the user ignores them, he can be blocked when moving to the next step. Utilizing two Validate Form actions along the path to the subsequent step will hinder the user from progressing unless the specified conditions are fulfilled.

Can't send e-mail notification

2024-01-04T12:13:24+01:00

Hello,I've upgraded my Webcon only yesterday and today it seems that there is a problem when sending configurable e-mail through action. The action is simple and it worked until now (previous version 2023.1.1.89). When the action runs it returns an error "Can't send e-mail: Column 'mail' does not belong to table Results.". The field used in the action is named "Procedujacy" and is the type "User or group" with the data source . I am sure it worked before, what can be the problem here?EDIT:Seems that when I opened the action config and changed the used field to another one and then back, I was allowed to save the process. And now the action runs with no error... If I have to do the same in every action in every process, this would be a big inconvenience :(

Item list rows limit

2024-01-03T09:51:39+01:00

Hi,To restrict the number of rows in an item list, start by establishing a form rule (refer to image -> 1-Form rule). In this process, I've employed a global constant to set the limit, comparing the item list count with this defined threshold. If a user attempts to add an 11th row, a confirm message will be triggered. Next, implement this rule in your item list through Advanced Configuration -> General -> Form rule invoked after callback (refer to image -> 2-Item list).).To lock rows in an item list based on a checkbox value being true, specify the condition (not(checkbox value) or checkbox value = empty) in Column Edit Restrictions (navigate to your column in the item list -> Permissions -> Column Edit Restrictions).Paste the same condition in the Column Edit Restrictions section for each respective column requiring this constraint.Best regards,Cristina

Two attachment databases, problem with importing test->prod.

2023-12-18T20:37:23+01:00

Hi Maciej,when you import the process the first time, than you can select which attachment database should be used. The default database, is suggested. If you haven't created any instance yet you can change the attachment database in the process. Maybe it's also possible to change it while there are no attachments.I'm not to sure about it. Afterwards you are stuck. Best regards,Daniel

Calculated column report

2023-12-18T20:34:07+01:00

Hi,whenever I have a problem with a calculated column, I activate the diagnostic mode, refresh the report and save the session. Afterwards I search vor wfelems. This is the query which is executed for the report. Then I would copy the query to management studio and look for the problem.The potential problem I see in your case is, that you have wfelems and wfelements in your query and therefore WF_AttChoose2 and the like are ambiguous. Add an alias for your table and then reference the columns with the alias.I see one other issue, at least if this report is not created on the production environment. The dtypeid will be different on each environment. It may be necessary to join the WFDocTypes table, so that you can use the GUID of the form type.Best regards,Daniel

Two attachment databases, problem with importing test->prod.

2023-12-18T14:51:15+01:00

We have two attachment databases, one for testing and one for production: BPS_Content_Att_testBPS_Content_Att_test2BPS_Content_AttBPS_Content_Att2 In this application we use BPS_Content_Att_test2 for testing and BPS_Content_Att2 for production. Unfortunately we dont have a database with identical name, so when we import from test to production, the default attachment database specified in the global settings is used (BPS_Content_Att). Is there any solution in this situation, that during the import we can use the BPS_Content_Att2 database?

Calculated column report

2023-12-18T14:45:02+01:00

Hello, I have an equipment initialization process (1) , followed by another process of allocating this equipment to a user (2). I have created a Report - "Equipment allocation" and I want to add a calculated column to this report that brings in the "Series" of the equipment from the Initialization process. I have this query: (select dbo.ClearWFElemAdv(WFD_AttChoose2)[which is the "Series" column in process (1)] from wfelements where wfd_dtypeid=102[which is the form id of process (1)] and wfd_id=3557) In my second (2) process I saved the equipment Instance ID from the 1st process in WFD_AttText1. I want to replace "3557" with the Instance ID from Initialization process which I have in second process (WFD_AttText1) and it is not working.

Publishing WEBCON BPS Standalone with Azure AD Application Proxy

2023-12-17T00:22:54+01:00

Ensure that your Azure AD Application Proxy is correctly configured. Check the settings and make sure that it is set up to handle the expected load and idle times.Review the timeout settings in Azure AD Application Proxy. There might be session timeout or idle timeout configurations that are impacting your application. Check the WEBCON BPS configuration for any session timeout settings. Adjust them if necessary to accommodate your usage patterns. Also always check everything before you https://advanced.name/ buy proxies because it's easy to make mistakes here. Verify the authentication settings and make sure they align with Azure AD configurations. Ensure that your Azure SQL Database has appropriate configuration settings, and it's not set to idle or sleep after a period of inactivity. Check if there are any database-level settings causing timeouts.

Active BPS Users

2023-12-15T15:30:20+01:00

Hi Marza,you can take a look at these table in the BPS Config databasedbo.[UsersCals]dbo.[SingleSolutionCals]The last one is only relevant, if you have "Single solution access".Depending on your environment you may not be able to execute the sql query with the "Current BPS Database" data source option. If the query is working find in management studio but doesn't execute in WEBCON, create a custom data connection and use this one. The "new" environments use the "application user" "bps_user" which can not read data from another database.You can read up on this here:https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3448?page=1#m3464Best regards,Daniel

Hello,I created a few BPS users and I found out that they are saved in BPS_Config instead of BPS_Content.From the Administration tab I activated license for some users, but I have no idea in what table I can see this information.I want to make a calculated column in a dictionary report where I can see witch user has license.So in what table I can find if a BPS user has license or not?Thank you,Best regards!

Hi,I tried using the button - adding the entered comment to the comment field, but then it duplicated my entries. I could also consider a function to move to the next step, but then I would have to create such a path at each step separately. It would be best to activate the save button somehow via JavaScript, but unfortunately I can't do it.RegardsD.

Issues with Word template?

2023-12-15T09:12:14+01:00

Hi Daniel,I did print a Word document in admin mode and it's showing me the correct values everywhere (pic 2). Still, when the process is generating the word, it's giving me the same wrong values (pic 1).I also checked the properties of the word generated by the process, and for the field in discussion and the value is empty there.. (pic 3)Hope I've put the pictures numbers in correct way. :)

Issues with Word template?

2023-12-14T20:37:38+01:00

Hi,this is really a strange issue.Could you check what happens, if you generate a word print out via the admin mode?Another thing you can verify is whether there are really no values in the word document.The "placeholders" are fields in word which references document properties. You could check the properties (1) in the custom (2) tab. Select the BPS_* property (3) representing the missing value and check the value (4). If it's empty than the value wasn't updated past to the word document at all. If you have here a value which is not displayed in the actual document, you have another problem.Best regards,Daniel

Issues with Word template?

2023-12-14T15:34:14+01:00

I have built a Word template and placed all fields I need in there. But when a process is using this template, I have noticed that some of the information are not taken correctly and I don't understand why. Maybe is helpful to say that some of the info here should be taken from a Data Row field type, but still, I can't exactly see the problem here as some of the returned rows are working fine, some not.. This never happened to me before.To put this straight forward, the problems I notice are:1. "Name" is returning equipment value, instead of name value2. "Date of purchase" is returning nothing NULL, even if the date is filled in3. "Signature" sometimes is returning the signature, sometimes not. Attaching some maybe relevant pictures. Thank you!

Recovery Pending and HTTP error 502.5

2023-12-14T14:41:01+01:00

Hi,there are many reasons that might cause error like that.It might be lack of storage space, forced shutdown (loss of power) which might break some transactions and probably more.You should try to locate what caused it exactly - check windows logs (Event Viewer), maybe SQL Server Error Log (SELECT on table sys.messages), try DBCC CHECKDB command with SQL.Could you give us some more information about your environment? Is it dedicated dev server, local virtual machine etc.? Is it one server install, or services are split between servers?

Hi GerdLooking at the docs: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/MailApproval/It seems like there is no way to pass comment using MailApproval. The only thing you can pass is a delegate if you are delegating task.You could create seprate path, for MailApproval which won't require commenting, don't think there is a solution which will do it with only one path.

Hi guys,i use the mailapproval function to "accept" or "decline" a step. The "accept" path works fine with mailapproval.The "decline" path actually has the comment set to required and therefore the path transition operation failed with an "validation error".What can i do to set the comment not required in case of mailapproval or even better to add a comment in the mail which is then used for the decline-Path.Hope it is understandable what's my problem ;-)Thanks, Gerd

Error importing an application if it was cloned

2023-12-13T11:27:47+01:00

Hi everyone!I'll start with the app package import error message, then some details: System.Exception: Exception occurred while importing table WFDetailConfigs ---> System.InvalidOperationException: No item type: WFBusinessRuleDefinitions, id: 2752 at WebCon.WorkFlow.Base.ImportExport.Mapping.MappingList.GetBySourceId(Int32 id, DbNodeType dbNodeType) at WebCon.WorkFlow.Base.ImportExport.Import.ForeignKeyFinder.c__DisplayClass7_0.b__1(ForeignKeyReplacePair pair) ...I have an app which was created as a clone of an existing one - just because the original app had most of the needed fields. No issues exporting the new app into package.From the error message I presume that the original app had some [at least one] business rules I didn't need for the new app, therefore I deleted them, thus the import error.Now, the new app does not point towards that id, 2752, with any object, either field/business rule/form rule etc. Also, the original app does not have any objects with id 2752.However, WFDetailConfigs contains an id of 2752 whose configuration points to ... the original app id.There are "Verify process" and "Verify entire configuration" options in the Tasks menu, none of them helpful here.No matter the source of this issue, is there a way to delete the remaining links of original app into the new app, so that the export from this Dev goes clean to import on the Test/Prod env?Thank you,Mihail

HTML field - StartElement

2023-12-07T20:44:54+01:00

Hi,if you aren't familiar with javascript the easiest way would be to:1. Create a menu action using with the "start new hyperlink" function and define the parameters2. Create the html field and use the InvokeMenuAction function.Start workflow 3. Hide the menu action in the behavior tab during load. This will hide it from the user interface but the function will be available. Hiding it with an execution condition will also prevent the option to use it via javascript.Best regards,Daniel

Can I set 'StartElement' function on this HTML field so it can define other parameters that should auto-fill in the instance? For example: I choose a project, then press a 'Category' button (one HTML field) that will start an instance, and in that instance, the project and category should be auto-filled.I have already checked these links: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-hyperlink-action/65https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/html-form-type/152Is that possible? Or do you have any suggestions?Thank you.

Item list column label

2023-12-06T21:38:42+01:00

Hi Dariusz,if you want to apply this styling only to a single item list or even one column in this, I would add an html field using this css:#SubElems_#{WFCON:384}# th{text-align:center;} #SubElems_#{WFCON:384}# th[data-key="#{SFLD:36}#_#{DCN:36}#"]{text-align:left;}Adding the id of the item list will restrict the styling to all children of this item list. Adding the attribute selector with data-key, will restrict the style of a table header to a single column.This was tested in 2023.1.2.99. Depending on your version the html may look different.Best regards,Daniel

Multiplying rows in the report even when no columns from the item list chosen

2023-12-06T11:10:26+01:00

Hi Patryk,I think underneath adding that column to the data source it creates SQL join with list items on the whole data source.If the join happens first, then you can hide the columns, but rows are already multiplied. The solution would be to have two different reports.I can confirm that behavior on 2023.1.2.123.

Multiplying rows in the report even when no columns from the item list chosen

2023-12-06T10:17:32+01:00

Hi guys, got case here where in Webcon's report there is a row from item list. This row is added as a column to the [Columns available in report] as on the screenshot, but remains unticked, therefore not visible in the default view on the report. Nonetheless, report still shows multiple lines with same data/instance ID, if there is > 1 item list row with data on the form. This should be the case if the column is used in the report - ticked either in the default view or in one of the custom views. Whenever it is unticked, I believe report should not multiply rows. Do you experience same behavior in older versions?Webcon ver. 2023.1.2.68

Item list column label

2023-12-06T09:32:35+01:00

Hi Dariusz,As far as i know - there is no built in functionality to change it, but you could use two custom approaches:1. Create custom Form Rule with javascript below, and run it on opening the form:document.querySelectorAll('.header-cell__name-value').forEach(h => { h.style.textAlign='center' })This selects all table headers on the page, and centers the text, you could edit querySelector, to get specific table only.2. Add custom global CSS:.header-cell__name-value { text-align: center;}https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/SystemSettings_AppearanceSettingsModeBoth have some disadvantages, none is perfect, but it's possible :)

Item list column label

2023-12-06T08:53:02+01:00

Hello,Is it possible to center the item list column label? I see that the form rule allows you to center the value in the column -> SET CELL STYLE. Applying CSS to the entire list of items centers labels, but not all column types (works for picklist column type).RegardsD.

Add Attachment - Copy existing category

2023-12-05T16:26:20+01:00

Okay I've been trying out some things, and finally came up with solution.I'm not checking `Copy attachments to subworkflow`, instead on the Path used to Start element I've placed an Automation.It's easier to just copy the documents more manually with automation, than correcting categories.On new document I'm keeping ID of original one, which is used to select attachments from old document.This is used as input for `For Each` operator, inside which I'm doing two steps:* Change local parameter value - `SQL Command` select returning Category, based on current ID in the loop.* Add attachment, based on current ID in the loop, and there - set the Category to dynamic and use local parameter.Seems like it works, but I'm still open for any other solutions, maybe there will be something cleaner :)

Query SharePoint list in business rule

2023-12-05T16:11:36+01:00

Hi Oliver,as far as I can guess, you are using a form rule which doesn't support this. Only business rules can access the data source.If necessary you could also call a business rule from a form rule.I hope you don't get confused with the terms. I have never used the German interface, so I don't now them. :)Edit:I may have confused something, to many different topics at the moment. You can find the data source value under the functions.Best regards,Daniel

Add Attachment - Copy existing category

2023-12-05T15:51:28+01:00

Hello,I'm configuring a clone feature for nested workflows, and i need to copy attachments from parent workflow to new parent, and from child elements to new children.Something like this:-Parent--Child--Child-NewParent--NewChild1--NewChild2It's easy to copy Parent attachments - I'm starting parent with `Start a subworkflow` action, which has `Copy attachments to subworkflow` option - this works great.This is the first step I have in my automation.Unfortunately Category of the attachment is missing.I've been thinking about creating another automation, which will use `Modify attachment` action, and another `For Each` operator to make it happen.However it is possible to have few attachments with same name, and there is no way to get correct category for them - at least I couldn't think of one.Even without the nesting of the workflows I can't find any way to get the Categories - any ideas? :)

Query SharePoint list in business rule

2023-12-04T18:12:35+01:00

Hi Oliver,yes, you can access a data source in a business rule. For this you can select the data source from the Objects tab and then filter it / compare the result.I had a similar case:I needed to upload a new version of the document but it was necessary to delete the old document to prevent access to old versions.After uploading the document, I stored the item id in a technical field. When a new version was uploaded, it's checked via REST, whether the item still exists.If this is the case, the item get's deleted.Since the REST action throws an error, when the item id doesn't exist, I stored the response in a local parameter of the automation. It's necessary to switch "Continue execution if http.."Afterwards I checked the ResponseCode in an if operator.Best regards,Daniel

Hello,I have a simple workflow that is translated from fields to steps and paths.When I change the language from the portal the preview picture of the workflow does not change.Should the language of the workflow preview change based on the language of the logged user?Regards

report cannot combine columns from various item lists

Hello Maksymilian, thank you for your answer!

report cannot combine columns from various item lists

Hello Markus, thank you very much. Ich will try your idea!

report cannot combine columns from various item lists

2023-12-04T11:23:59+01:00

Hi Lina,Adding item list column onto a report creates additional rows - instead of 1 per document there are x per document, where x is amount of rows inside item list.If we could add more than one item list, then the combination would grow:- 1 per document- x per 1st item list- y per 2nd item listIn total 1*x*y - this just won't be readable therefore there is no built in way to do it.You could try to aggregate, or concatenate all of the values using calculated column, but that might lead to very slow loading report.@EditSeems that Markus was faster, really good idea with that technical item list :)

report cannot combine columns from various item lists

2023-12-04T11:17:08+01:00

Hi LinaYou may have noticed, that by using Itemlist columns and columns of the main element, the main element rows are being repeated in every row. For some users this might result in reports with confusing data. E.g. when calculating the sum of an itemlist column and save in a form field. If this total field used in the report together with itemlist columns, this total would then be shown on every row. When you then calculate the sum of the field and the column, there would be a difference because of the 1:n relationship.By using more than one Itemlist there would be even a 1:n:m multiplication, so you better stop the users for doing this.If you need a report that combines values from various lists, you could create a technical itemlist and populate the list by using an SQL query and/or business logic. Then you can create your report based on your technical itemlist.

2023-12-04T10:36:52+01:00

Hello everyone, it seems that in a report, you can only drag columns from one items list. If I try to add a column from another items list to the report, I receive an error message " Error adding items list column - There are already selected columns from items list ...."We need a report that combines columns from various items lists. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thanks Lina

The matter was partially clarified, it turned out that it was about cloning and not import, fortunately. Unfortunately, this is a known problem that has already been mentioned on the forum. So the 2022 version hasn't fixed it yet :(

Hi Oliver,Answering directly your question in 1, and 2 might come in handy later ;)1. After selecting value, automatically set values of another fields -> You might want to use different type of choice field: * Picker -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ChoiceColumns/VarcharPicker * Autocomplete -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ChoiceColumns/AutocompleteThere is column Target Field in config, which will do that job.2. Access other than ID/Name column for some calculation inside Buisness Rule: * Data Source Value, or SQL Command: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/BusinessRules_General/#integrationFilter out row by ID, and return specified column only.

Disappearing functionalities when cloning processes

2023-11-30T14:40:34+01:00

I fully understand what you wrote and agree 100%. My question stems from the fact that something like this happened to people from an external company in my environment and now I don't know if they are lying to me that it's not their fault or if the problem actually occurred during import. Personally, something like this hasn't happened to me for several years.

Disappearing functionalities when cloning processes

2023-11-30T12:15:57+01:00

Hi Micha,If test = prod, than no functionalities should be lost, although if there are differences, then this might happen.Some examples (I'm assuming here full export import - all processes, presentation etc. in application):2023-11-01 - we make our first deploy TEST -> PROD2023-11-07 - there is a bug, which is fixed on PROD only2023-11-08 - we move PROD -> TEST, and TEST -> PRODNo functionalities should be lost.2023-11-01 - we make our first deploy TEST -> PROD2023-11-05 - we started creating new functionalities on TEST2023-11-07 - there is a bug, which is fixed on PROD only2023-11-08 - we move PROD -> TEST, and TEST -> PRODFunctionalities/changes introduced on 2023-11-05 will be lost.Basically any quick/hot fixes, should be done manually on each environment, or if it's possible - do them with import/export, but in most cases you can't because there is already some new unfinished feature on DEV/TEST and you want to apply only that one specific hotfix, and not those unfinished features.Beneath import/export mechanism there are GUID's - each item you configure inside Designer Studio gets GUID - that's like ID, but it's equal on all environments.What import does is that it drops (or marks as deleted) all the configurations which GUID's are not in the app package, updates those, which changed, and appends new ones.Above is based on my experience, I can't guarantee that's exact implementation though - if anyone have different experiences, I'll be glad to update my knowledge :)

uxContext missed in version 2022

uxContext missed in version 2022

2023-11-29T20:57:31+01:00

Hi Michal,In my opinion you can just pass an own uxContext object as a parameter.1) I created a form rule2) Which executes a business rule3) I invoked the form rule via a button in an html field. The debugger; statement allowed me to break the code execution when the developer tools are open.4) The form rule generates or "updates" the uxContext which is passed to the business rule. The uxContext object in this case is nothing more than:{parameter: []}You may encounter a lot more situations like this when updating to BPS 2023+. Even so this feels like advertisement you should check out this post.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/updating-to-bps-2023You could already prepare your processes for BPS 2023+.Best regards,Daniel

how to keep the description in the changes

2023-11-29T08:43:37+01:00

Hi,Tracking changes is a challenge in all software development related projects.In the latest versions of Webcon you could use the user voice feature, but it won't solve everything.I'm currently using GitLab for that task.Each introduced change -> New issueEach package -> MilestoneIssues are changes, milestones group them in packages which are released. Basically there is no new package created without a milestone.After each release I'm creating markdown write up about functional changes, bug fixes etc. based on the closed milestone.That write up is inserted inside description of the package.I'm also using git for storing all the packages in one place, but if you don't need that part, then any project management might be a good choice.Jira, Asana, Trello, Planner in teams - depends on your needs.It requires scrupulousness to create issues for each change, even those quick fixes on prod, and applying them to all environments but in the end I'm feeling safe when deploying.

Add privileges action and filtering existing datasource

2023-11-28T19:43:47+01:00

Hi Nik,I did some test and as far as I can tell the following applies.- If you use a SQL data source, than only the connection is used. The SQL query of the data source is ignored.- If you use a BPS internal view, the SQL query in the action is ignored.So your only approach would be to replicate the sql query in each action. If you have global automations you could place the action in global automation and use this in the different places.Best regards,Daniel

HI,There is probably no great solution to this. For example, I try to add all reports in the documentation section, whether on attributes, shares, etc. Of course, not all, only those that are important in the context of changes. This is very helpful when searching. But you also need to remember about it and add it, and use a reporting system that will generate numbers for us under which we can then search.Regards.

No access to AD-User when syncroniced to Azure-AD

2023-11-28T10:59:58+01:00

We are building an on-boarding Workflow whitch is adding a new AD-User and granted him with the needed User-Groups.But when the User is needed to syncroniced with the Azure-AD because of using O365, i have no access to alter the User anny more.To adding and alter the User we use the SAM-account name and it works very well.But this doesnt work on the Azure Users.By the way our AD is generated with an xxx.home and our Azure AD changed it to the Mail extension xxx.comSo when i try to get the user with his Mail-Adress, i get the info that "there is no xxx.com AD" and when i try to get him over the xxx.home AD i get the info "User not found".How can i get to manage the syncroniced Azure Users?ThanksAndreas

New font 'Aptos' from Microsoft in WEBCON BPS

2023-11-27T22:52:54+01:00

Dear Community, Microsoft recently announced that the new default font for Microsoft 365 applications is changing from Calibri to Aptos:https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/new-office-theme-e7bbfe02-d1fb-4c4d-b3b7-6a47f0cefd3fIf you already have this font on your device, give it a try in WEBCON BPS. In my opinion, it looks really good in WEBCON BPS Portal.If you want to test it, just set global CSS style in your configuration:body {font-family: Aptos}This may not be the best CSS solution, but it worked. As always, do it on your dev / test environment first.With warm regards.

Remove all individual permissions on workflow element level

2023-11-24T13:40:35+01:00

Hi,If you want to actually remove all permissions for users, it doesn't matter how they got them (SEC_REASON)But remember that if the user has a task in the elements for which you will delete the user's permissions, he will lose the ability to execute it, because the task assignment action gives him permissions to modify the element at a given stage (reason 9), and after execution it leaves read-only permissions. (reason 8).Reason 7 is read permissions for the authorReason 5 means that someone has been given permissions to a given document in admin mode directly on the form.If you are not sure of the operation you want to perform,For safety reasons, it is best to make a copy of this table or dump it into Excel to have data for possible reconstruction.Regards

Check if you really have the column set as required in the matrix, because the rule acts as a requirement limit.Or check with the console running (F12) whether any errors are generated by other scripts when opening the formRegards

Hi,There is no ready-made solution, but you can build a simple application and use automation to achieve what you want. As you noticed, in the WFSecurities table you have login information. You can join the dbo.CacheOrganizationStructure table and filter by the COS_AccountType = 1 column, these are users (not ad groups or bps grups). Then, in automation, use a for each loop, return unique logins as the source of the collection, and add a remove permissions action that will be executed for each element of the collection.Regards.

You could use:* 2 Decimal fields with 0 decimal places, and suffix 'h'. + Validation on exit which will check if first number is smaller than second, and if both are smaller than 25.* 1 or 2 Text fields with regex, that will validate input format. + Similar validation on exit.I would rather go with Decimal fields, as it will be easier to make some math, an validation on it.Second option will give faster feedback about the input, thanks to regex though.

Is it possible to send the text messages(sms) to the user from webcon?

2023-11-20T11:29:41+01:00

Hi,Webcon does not provide SMS functionality, although you could leverage REST/SOAP actions.There are many SMS API providers, maybe even your company have a contract with some telecomunication company which could provide such API.

Is it possible to send the text messages(sms) to the user from webcon?

2023-11-20T11:11:22+01:00

In our team we have came across an issue as above and I am wondering is it possible in version 21 or version 23 to send the text messages on the phone to the users?

Log4j 2.21.1 for WebCon BPS 2023 R2

2023-11-19T18:22:38+01:00

Darek, have you tried manually replace log4j files in dev / test environment first? I did it on my dev/test environment running version 2023.1.2.68. After replacing appropriate .jar files (3 files) both WEBCON services are working.I didn't notice errors after the change.I used the same method as it was described in mentioned article.Best.

Information who finished a task

2023-11-17T08:55:11+01:00

Hi Pasquale,As far as i know - that's the best we can do right now if you want to extract it directly. Although as an alternative - you could have technical field on the form, and set On Exit with Change value of single field - this one is sometimes easier.For example, when you want to store who finished task in each step, to assign the person already involved if workflow is going to same step.

Issue - Start a subworkflow

2023-11-16T16:24:16+01:00

I have checked on multiple environments, and I have discovered the following: 1. That checkbox does not exist on the 2022 version2. That checkbox does not exist on a freshly installed 2023 version3. That checkbox only exists on an upgraded version from 2022 to 2023Probably, that is the case with your environment, too.I am not sure if that is on purpose or not. Someone from WEBCON might help us with that.

Docusign SDK - checking envelopes not working ?

2023-11-16T14:37:18+01:00

Docusign SDK - checking envelopes not working ?

2023-11-16T06:31:15+01:00

sure thing. as stated: actually sending and signing in docusign works perfectly. what is not working is the automation "checkalldocumentstatus"attached is the actual function-config as a screenshot. I have all revelant parameters stored as process constants. since other docusign-functions work, its definitely not those. it has to be the workflow part thats not working for whatever reason. its configured as stated in the sdk config (at least thats what I think)thank you in advance

Strange hotmailbox behavior

Hi,Recently our hotmailbox started to behave strangely. When an email is received, it is simply moved to archive and the workflow is not started.If however we move the email back into inbox from archive manually, the workflow starts normally.Do you have any suggestions how we might try to troubleshoot this?Thanks!

Hi Roman,Cycle Actions are good direction, so it's really close tho what you need.If i understood you correctly, you want to execute an action on each document, after they exceed some date.This might be achieved in two/three ways:First - Document Context:1. Create Cycle in the end step you've mentioned, and use Start date configuration (11) -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Workflow/Step/Actions/Action_Timeout/2. Set the Interval to 1, and repetition count to 1. Then, action defined on the interval will happen.Second - Global Context (pre automations):1. Create Global Action, as you did already.2. Create Path on the end step, which will point to itself - so step won't change, and add Send Mail Action there.3. Use Move Workflow Action - select which elements are in the end step and past the date -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Workflow/MoveManyWorkFlows/ Third - Global Context (with automations):1. Create Global Action, as you did already.2. Wrap the action you want to run in For Each Operator, and inside the operator run Send Mail Action -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/module_2_4_9#3-automation-definition-areaBe careful with 2nd approach, as if documents are in different steps, then you will have to create path in each possible step, and find them by name rather than by id.

Hi everyone,I would like to ask for your expertise.I think I generally understand how Webcon works, but there are a few areas where I still fail, or have no idea how to go about it.Currently I have a process that has a field "Reminder Date" with a date in an end step of each instance.Now I would like to check the "Reminder Date" in all instances at regular intervals (e.g. daily) to see whether it is today or in the past and then send an email to the author of the instance.However, I don't really know how to do this.I assume that I can do this with a Global Action - Cycle Action. But I don't know which Webcon action I can use for this.(What I already have is a "BPS internal view" of all instances from the process. With this I could filter on the reminder date, but I don't know how to execute an action for each entry in the BPS internal view or element so that the mail is sent [Send a custom email]).Can anyone help me with this?Thanks.

Docusign SDK - checking envelopes not working ?

Hi,I used the sdk for signing the documents with AdobeSign. I didn't encounter any errors. Could you please send a screenshot of the SDK configuration? The error is very generic, and I can't determine the cause from this error message. I recommend adding a try-catch block to each function in the SDK and using specific error messages.Thanks,Raluca

Prevent redirection to dashboard upon form completion

2023-11-15T07:22:34+01:00

You could just have a hyperlink action on the path which redirects to the portal base url for example.You even could go as far as only triggering it when the user triggering the path transition is a member of a specific group.

Hi MaksymilianThank you for your answer. Unfortunately, my question was actually a completely different one.But nvm, I have solved the issue differently in the meantime anyway.

Waiting steps , automatically move workflows (or do any other kind of action)

2023-11-14T13:30:20+01:00

You have 2 options:1. as You do now - checking for answer. (if answer came in finite time, and you don't have many elements checking) it's good idea. (for exaple we can use it, because it cause some elements to have 80 000 versions in history, because every check is new version.)2. Outer source can triger an action. So no Webcon, but other softwer decides when step is changed. You propably need some API for it but it's posible

Waiting steps , automatically move workflows (or do any other kind of action)

2023-11-14T09:36:45+01:00

Hi,It is necessary to use timeout actions.My question is: When the instance enters the system step, does the document status already exist?If the status can appear later, after the instance has entered the step, you will need 2 timeout actions.Thanks,Raluca

Waiting steps , automatically move workflows (or do any other kind of action)

2023-11-14T08:26:10+01:00

Hi thereI am working with webcon for several years now , yet I still have some basic problems I cannot seem to wrap my head around: scenario: I added the docusign sdk and have docs sent for signature. works perfectly. now during this waiting period, I want to "park" the workflows (in a system step) and have them automatically check if the corresponding docs are signed. the status check works. what I am having problems with is cycling the check action and - if docusign docs status = completed - move the corresponsing workflow to the next step. the "wating, then do something if status is xyz" really frustrates me as the logic is super simple, yet I cannot seem to accomplish this.could someone help me out and explain it to me ?

2023-11-13T17:14:08+01:00

Hi,If I understand you correctly, you want to have a custom export from a dictionary.If this is the case then I have to say, as far as I know, there is no build in option to create a custom excel export from a dictionary.But you can obvious do some workarounds.I dont know exactly how and when you want to use this export, but one option is to use a data table field.You can check the export button and also make ur own custom select form the dictionary, this way you can make it more custom then just excluding columns.If you have multiple cases where you need custom exports, you can even make a dedicated workflow.

Prevent redirection to dashboard upon form completion

2023-11-13T09:55:44+01:00

Hi Flo,The simplest way to avoid redirection would be to check the Wizard mode checkbox -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Workflow/Step/Path/Action_StepEditPathsParameters#7-confirmation.The where to redirect part is contained in the url -> returnurl=%2Fdb%2F1%2Fapp%2F22%2Fdashboards%2F13. If there is no returnurl query parameter, then it will redirect straight to application page instead of dashboard/report.

SET FOCUS for item list row

2023-11-08T16:59:20+01:00

Hi! I need your help regarding setting focus on the last row of the item list. Business wants to perform the following scenario. Batch of barcode lables from paper documents are to be scanned with hendheld scanner. Each scanned id is to be inserted into ID column of item list table. Based on the ID some additiona data are to displayed in other columns.What I have already done is the form rule that ADDs NEW ROW every time the value of ID item list column is changed. It works ok. The problem is that I need the focus to be moved to the newly added row so the next document can be scanned. Unfortunately the focus stays at the first row all the time so the scanned value will go there. There is a SET FOCUS function but it is not working with item lists. Therefore I think I need something similar in order to set the focus on last row of the item list.Any help much apperciated!Thank in advance.Wojtek

Start dictionary process and update a field in (another) standard process (depending on each other)

2023-11-08T15:56:15+01:00

Hi Roman,I think it might be as simple as creating 2 actions (in one automation if applies):* Create new element in the dictionary - that's the part you have* Update the value on the form with Change value of single field action: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Form/Action_ChangeValueOr a simpler way If you are using Start a subworkflow action to create the document: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartWorkFlow/ i think you could just tick the checkbox #3 in docs (also attached).Second approach looks easier, but requires specific action to start subworkflow.

Start dictionary process and update a field in (another) standard process (depending on each other)

2023-11-08T15:04:26+01:00

Hi allI got a process that uses values from a dictionary process in a field [picker field] (the user can select an element from the dictionary process in the form).Sometimes an element that the user wants to select does not yet exist.I have now given the user the possibility to select with a checkbox that the element does not yet exist.After completing the input (form), i.e. when the user passes on the process, a dictionary process should now be started "automatically" for the user so that he can add the missing element. After the user has entered the element, the "new" value should be automatically inserted into the original standard process without the user having to do this again.I know that I can start a "new" process (dictionary) after the form is completed and assign it to the user, but unfortunately I don't know how to update the standard process from the dictionary process.Do any of you have an idea how I could do this? Or would that simply be an SQL update command that I would then have to make on the field of the standard process?Thanks for your kind help in advance.

Custom report and calculated columns

2023-11-08T14:04:20+01:00

Hi,I'm working on preparing a report based on my process. It's something similar to task manager. I can create a task with field responsible person nad some dates (deadline and end of task).I;m makieng report, where I want to show all responsible people who have tasks divided on Active task, Active task after deadline, Finished task in time and Finished task after deadline. I've made calculated column:casewhen WFD_AttDateTime5 < WFD_AttDateTime6 then 'YELLOW'when WFD_AttDateTime5 > WFD_AttDateTime6 then 'GREY'when WFD_IsFinish = 0 and WFD_AttDateTime5 < GetDate() then 'RED'when WFD_IsFinish = 0 and WFD_AttDateTime5 > GetDate() then 'GREEN'endAnd in report I made grouping by this calculated column. The issue is that I have one series and all of it is in one color. I wanted to add next series with different colors, but it will calculate the same numbers. Addidiontal qeustion:I can choose type of draw horizontal, but instead of people responsible by names I have numbers form 0 to number of all people.Regards,Adam

Update Item list in parent instance

2023-11-08T10:01:00+01:00

Hi,Step 1. From the parent process, you need to send the det_id (row_id) when starting children.Step 2. In the parent process, you should create a path to the same step with a 'change itemlist' action.Step 3. In the child process, when you press the 'finish' button, you should have a 'move to workflow' action, through which you send the parent path_id (where the update should take place), parent wfd_id, and in a technical field, the child wfd_id (wfd_id of the current instance).Step 4. In the parent process, configure the 'change itemlist' action.Updating through API or SDK may be simpler.Thanks,Raluca

How to move/attach workflow as a sub-workflow.

2023-11-07T16:57:33+01:00

Hi Adam,for me it is working as expected.I've used a choose field and an integer field to test both scenarios and bot worked fine.When I execute the action the parent workflow of the current workflow is changed. Respectively the current workflow is listed as a sub workflow in the parent workflow.At least this is what I understand you want to achieve.Best regards,Daniel

2023-11-07T14:49:11+01:00

Hi,I'm trying to understand what you have written :)I understand about passing ids of item list from parent instance to child instance (workflow). Now, I can pass item list of the parrent (using bps source) to child and display it. But in Child process I have ability to edit the item list (delete, update, add) and when I'm done, I click finish button, child instance is closing and the parent item list shoud be excatly like it is in child instance.

HTML field type with links appends Portal url

2023-11-07T11:29:29+01:00

Hi Flo,It's the quote character you've used in the configuration it seems. I've copied the a tag from your message as is, and got the same behaviour - I'm assuming that you've copied it from the advaced configuration box.There is this sign (0x94) used as quote instead of this: " (0x22).It's a subtle difference, but they have different ASCII codes - hex values in parenthesis.If you will modify it as below, then the link will work :)Message SupportThe 0x94 character is not recognised as HTML parser as correct quote, so it's propably treated like a regular text, trying to mimic the behaviour of #name (id) inserted in the a tag.

2023-11-06T22:17:18+01:00

It took me a while, but I've found the right place. You'll need access to server, where BPS Portal is installed though.If the install has been made with default values, then there is this path: C:\Program Files\WEBCON\WEBCON BPS Portal\wwwroot\Assets\PortalTranslates - it contains translations used on the Website.You should be also able to get there with IIS Explore button.If you want to modify Business Entity (Spka) to Branch (Oddzia) in Polish language, then edit this file: JsTranslations.pl.resx.jsonSearch for "company" (with quotes) - it is the key, then edit the value part to your translation.I've checked it for persistance between server restarts, and it stays there.I'm not sure if the translations aren't overwritten when installing update - make sure to check it if you would like to change it.From my perspective I'd rather stick with the default naming, it's possible to achieve what you want, but it requires some digging, and maintenance might require some work.In attachment you can find screenshot of example modification - .json file, and screenshots after.And on the BPS Translation tool - it's usefull for translating configuration elements, but I don't think it could change translation of Business Entity.

Hi Radek,Make sure you will take a look at install instruction, which is always in the zip with installer - there is information about any requirements - and in this case, there is note about Hosting Bundle.Version Specified in 2023 install is Hosting Bundle 6.0 (i think it will be the same in 2022). You can download it from this website: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0 (see attachment).I'm usually downloading version which matches major and minor part of the version, but is latest on patch (in terms of semver), but to be strict with the documentation I'd go with 6.0.0https://semver.org/lang/pl/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/versions/

Update Item list in parent instance

2023-10-31T14:52:32+01:00

Hi,My apologies, there was a misunderstanding. By 'Sql update action,' I was referring to the 'change itemlist values' action that uses SQL.I think there might be a misunderstanding. I didn't specify to perform the update directly in the database, but rather through the 'change itemlist values -> update values' action. If we have the parent's wfd_id and the id of the row in the item list that we want to update, or a way to extract the row's id from the item list using unique values, we can use the action.Thnaks,Raluca

Update Item list in parent instance

Direct update on BPS databases is not good practice. It can cause unexpected behaviour, and cause inconsistent data in history tables.

Update Item list in parent instance

2023-10-31T13:35:13+01:00

Hi,If I understood correctly, you want to update the corresponding line in the parent item list from the child process. To update a line from the child in the item list of the parent process, you need to have a unique key to identify the line in the item list (you can either send the line's ID from the parent process to the child process or identify a unique value per line). From the child process, update the parent process using the 'change itemlist values -> update values' action. IT's necessary using the sql script. I added a image with example sql.Thanks,Raluca

Update Item list in parent instance

Hello,I have a parent process with Item list. This item list is list of tasks. I can add positions to this list and I have a button to initialize this list as a tasks. In this list I have a title, responsible person, status of the task and section (it should be item list with attributes in the form?). When I add the position and put in all data (title, person responsible and section) I hit the button, and I make new process Task to responsible person - new workflow. I have 2 problems: 1. When a task will be done, the status column in parent workflow will update to DONE. 2. When I open the task workflow, there is a section column which should have a name of the attribute. And based on it this attribute will be seen in Task Workflow to edit. To the first point, I've tried to add action on ending path in Task Workflow to update related workflow instances, but I don't see Item list. Maybe SQL?? But I don't know how to write it...Thanks for help.

You can create a technical path and add actions to it and then perform a mass shift along this path from the report level. Pay attention to protect yourself against possible unnecessary sending of notifications and make sure not to change the assignment of tasks if they are.You can also create an action that will move elements along selected paths if they are in different stepsRegards

Delegate task to another group of people after some time

2023-10-26T11:01:32+02:00

Hello, I'm trying to find a solution to my problem. Let's say I have a workflow with a START step, INTERMEDIATE and a FINAL step. Intermediate step is assigned to Group B by default, but I need that after 5 days, if no person from this group took any action, to automatically assign the task to Group C. Is there such a way to do this? Thank you.

Copy Attachments of an item list into another item list

2023-10-25T21:04:36+02:00

Hi Klaus,as Karol pointed out, you need to update the value of the "related attachment" field after the attachments have been copied to the new workflow.If you take a look at the field in the database you will see, that it contains the attachment ids in a comma separated list. At least if you allow multiple attachments. Since the attachments would have all a unique name for a workflow instance, you could use this to map the attachments of both workflow instances to get the 'old' and 'new' attachment id and update the values later. It will get a little tricky but I did something similar in the past.If you wouldn't need the attachments in the parent workflow any longer, and there references in the item list, you could test to "move" the attachments to the sub workflow and even back at some point in time. I would guess, that the attachment id won't change in this case. But the help says something different:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_AddAttachment#6-source-files-settingsMove attachments to the current instance attachments will be added to the current workflow instance. After being added, they are removed from the source instance.Best regards,Daniel

Copy Attachments of an item list into another item list

2023-10-25T18:37:47+02:00

HiThe data in the list does not include the attachment itself. Attachments need to be added with the appropriate action, copying attachments. Additionally, the relations in the list of attachments will correspond to the 'original element', so this will need to be updated after adding attachments.Regards

I've noticed that when I import from the development environment to the test or in production environment, custom visibility configurations for reports or start buttons don't get imported.

The groups were created in the development environment and imported into the other environments.Thanks,Raluca

Start a subworkflow (SQL) with automatically filled Item List

Hi,You cannot populate an itemlist from the "start subworkflow sql" action. It's necessary to use the "change itemlist" action. On the workflow level, on the path where the instance starts, you should create the action for populating the itemlist. There might be other ideas as well.Thanks,Raluca

Repeating table within repeating table

Hi,I believe you are referring to accordion-style tables. It's possible to create such a table using HTML fields. You need a technical field of the 'multiple lines of text' type to store the information in a JSON format, and in the HTML field, you can create the accordion-style table.I've made a blog post with a similar table; I hope you find it helpful.https://raluca.encorsa.ro/?p=114Thanks,Raluca

Custom dashboard, show view of element

2023-10-24T09:43:45+02:00

Hi Adam,Ad 1.You shold be able to mimic that behavior, but i don't know any way how to hook up to react running in background.I've created some PoC (for user voice here: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3772/15), which might point you in some direction. It's displaying content of the form using iframe - you will need to add the slide in/out element yourself though. Changing the resolution should switch it automatically to mobile view.Also - that's really nice idea to use rest to query and create custom report, never thought about it ;)Ad 2.Unfortunatelly I don't think there is any other way, creating custom way to sort/filter will require fetching whole report, so it doesn't seem like a proper solution.

Custom dashboard, show view of element

2023-10-24T09:07:06+02:00

Hi everyone,I have a questiion about dashboards:1. I have a custom dashboard, where I have only HTML element. In this element I'm using REST API to get report (made earlier) and thanks to that I can customize it with js, css. The question is, is it possible to have functionality of view the element like in report? Explaining, when I have a report and I click element I have a compact view or something of element from right side of the page. More details about element. 2. When I have report got in html element in dashboard with rest api, I can change sorting or filtering in report (Reports section in Webcon) and when I go to the dasboard i can see changes that were made in Webcon Report. Is is possible that I will make changes in report with Rest API or in another way, but directyl in dashboard not by enetering report?Thanks a lot :)RegardsAdam

Populating Dropdown List from REST

2023-10-23T18:04:47+02:00

Hi Dominik,the picker filter (1) in the expression editor will help you in the context of a popup search/autocomplete field. In case of a data table you could probably access the (2) "All form fields". This will retrieve the value of the field for the current instance. I actually noted this option only a few month ago and I don't know since when it is available. :)Best regards,Daniel

Hi,The only idea I have right now is: I think you can use the main form at the workflow level by placing an 'if' condition to check if the current step is in the required steps (if there are multiple steps, you can use the negation to ensure it's not in the undesired steps)You can create this as a business rule and use it on fields where it's necessary.Method 2: Implement the main form conditions at the level of each step.Thanks,Raluca

Hi,if you only need to hide/show fields based in steps and there's nothing more involved, than there's a simpler option.It's called field matrix and you can read up on it here:https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Workflow/Forms/Field matrix the tab provides options to define the level of form fields and system areas interactivity and visibility. The matrix is displayed as a table with its columns corresponding to workflow steps and rows assigned to individual form fields. By checking or unchecking respective coloured boxes, a user can manage form field visibility. There are four display modes available: Visible, Read-only, Read-only (cannot be modified except by JavaScript), and Required. When a box is left unchecked, a given form field is not displayed,Best regards,Daniel

The new server is checked as the one with the license service.We however can't configure licenses, since it says there is no connection to the license service.I checked the ServiceActivityInfos table and there is a NULL under SAI_LicenceServiceLocation, where I presume the new server name should be.Please see screenshots attached.Any ideas?Thanks

Hi Mark,you can only activate/deactivate a license using the designer studio.I don't remember since when it is possible but at some point in time an option was added to download the Designer Studio from the portal. I don't know when the option was added to use it remotely and I have to admin that it wasn't really useable in the beginning. This has changed and for deactivating the License it should be fine.If you are intending to move the server you could also make a backup of the databases, install a new version and deactivate the server license afterwards.Best regards,Daniel

Removing old host from Config DB

2023-10-17T13:06:35+02:00

Hi,Thanks for your answer. The dbo.ContentDatabases table doesn't have a reference to the old host. I found a reference to the old host in the following tables:dbo.AdminWFEventLogs, WEL_Detailsdbo.ActiveFrontendServers, AFS_CreatedBydbo.ActiveFrontendServers, AFS_UpdatedBydbo.ActiveFrontendServers, AFS_Addressdbo.Services, S_Namedbo.Services, S_WcfLocationdbo.ServiceActivityInfos, SAI_LicenceServiceLocationdbo.ServiceActivityInfos, SAI_WCFServiceLocationdbo.AdminDBMigrationLogs, DML_ScriptMessageThe most relevant to this issue seems to be the dbo.Services table, since it has references to the old and the new host, which is what we also saw during the farm services configuration part of the installation. But I would assume it isn't a good idea to just delete rows from these tables because of references who knows where. So is it possible to clean up these references in a safe way?Thanks!

How to handle a big content database?

2023-10-16T21:01:23+02:00

Hi Daniel.Transferring attachments to another or a new database is a straightforward process. Here are the steps to achieve this:1. Create a new database specifically for storing attachments associated with the process.2. Update the DEF_AttachmentsDatabase entry in the WFDefinitions table for the desired process. Enter the name of the newly created attachment database.3. Restart the ISS/Pool app and service.4. Transfer the data from the old database containing process attachments to the newly created database. Exclude the columns [ATF_ID] and [ATF_RowVersion].5. Verify if everything is OK.6. Delete the attachments from the table in the old database.Ensure you have performed appropriate backups before proceeding with these steps.If your process uses multiple attachment databases, adjust the values in DEF_AttachmentsDatabaseColName and DEF_AttachmentsDatabaseWFCONID from WFDefinitions accordingly (in this scenario, DEF_AttachmentsDatabase , will be null). Update them based on the value specified in the attribute of the element defining the attachment database for your process.Regards.

2023-10-16T19:44:02+02:00

Hi Rafal,I'm assuming that the small workflow uses either the "move workflow" action or the "big workflow" is waiting for completing the workflow. In either case you should be able to identify which workflow triggered the movement.If you are moving the big workflow, you could also store the element id of the small one in a technical field. In case of a "wait for sub workflow" step and you have only one small workflow you have the element id directly. Otherwise you could get the id of the element which was last modified.With the element id of the small workflow you could use an "add attachment" action in the big workflow to fetch the attachment from the small workflow.That's easier than using the REST API to copy an attachment to another workflow. Especially if you are moving the workflow anyway.https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/copy-attachment-to-other-workflowBest regards,Daniel

How to handle a big content database?

2023-10-16T19:31:56+02:00

I'm not aware of the changes in the "older" versions, as we need to keep up. Even so I should have remembered, that these versions also receive updates.Database sizes are not my area of expertise. So I can offer only general tips. Some of which no longer are an option.1. Separate attachment databasesYou can create multiple attachment databases. A process can be mapped to one attachment database. After the first attachment has been added it's no longer possible to change this setting using the Designer Studio. I have no idea how this can be achieved afterwards. I would need this as I have forgotten to change it during an import of a new application.2. Helper processes ?Do you have any "helper" processes which only run in the background to achieve some things? You could triggere a deletion of them either immediately or after some time.3. Timeouts / VersionsTimeouts may create new versions indefinitely. You could check for a high version number and see if a timeout is the cause. It may be an option to switch to a cyclical action.https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Workflow/Workflow_GlobalAction3/module_2_4_7_4_2It's great that there's now an online documentation. :)4. SolrIIndexerQueue tableDo you have any issues with SOLR? You have about 450k elements but 3.300k queued items. In my opinion this table should contain a low number of items at most.5. Archive DatabaseIt could be an option to move no longer actively accessed elements to the archive. I'm not sure whether this applies in your case as you have been in production for about two years.6. Split the databaseI've no idea whether this is a good approach but you could "move" the processes which create a lot of data to a "new" database. The "movement" would be copying the database, removing the privileges on the applications so that the users don't see them twice and delete the data and applications in one of them. Afterwards you would need trigger the index of the databases for SOLR.If you have any external systems referencing the data this can cause a problem. As the DB id in the URL would change this may also break links. During this you could move the databases to different hard drive volumes if this is an issue.That's all I can think of at the moment. Best regards,Daniel

From the change log:Resolved the issue of the AutomationSessionExecutions table growing more than expected.Introduced a series of improvements which aim to limit the size of this table, e.g.:- deleting/archiving elements will remove all connected records in AutomationSessionExecutions,- reduced the number of data stored in JSON by over half,- replaced two indexes in AutomationSessionExecutions with one.Best regards,Daniel

Hi,We have a project in Webcon that has many processes and dictionaries (more than 150). The application has been in production for, let's say, two years. In the first year, the database size was manageable, but now it's getting out of hand.Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or suggestions for dealing with large amounts of data?Are there optimization techniques we can employ?Any opinions are welcome!

Calendar report with Dynamic conditios

2023-10-13T16:36:20+02:00

Hi AndreiaI'm sorry, one should try before ;)It looks as the capabilities of the calendar are quite limited :(I can't understand, why WEBCON BPS does not allow calculated columns to be used in views.However, I've seen that you can use calculated columns to filter the views. Did you already try this approach?

2023-10-13T13:58:05+02:00

Hi AndreiaYou can use a calculated column and the DATEDIFF function. E.g. DATEDIFF(Day, WFD_AttDateTime3, GETDATE())A positive value would tell you the days before and a negative value the days after the cut-off date. 0 is when cut-off date is same as current date.Then apply the rules as you intended to do.

Hi,If the user has rights only for "launch new workflow instances" and for the application "Metadata access", they will only be able to delete the instances they created. If the user has administrator rights, they will be able to delete all instances. You can hide the button from the matrix or conceal it using JavaScript or a form rule based on certain conditions.I'm not sure I understood the requirement. If the answer is not helpful, could you provide more detailed explanations?Thanks,Raluca

Companies are added every time process is imported

2023-10-13T12:07:47+02:00

OK. Took a risk and updated GUIDs on TEST env DB with the ones from PROD. IDs were the same. Then I have exported one application from test env to prod env and during the import in prod it was OK. No information about creating new companies during import. I didn't finished / confirmed the import process to prod env assuming that information displayed in import wizard is valid :) Personally I do also prefer to avoid any changes in DBs, but it's still easier than changing IDs of companies used.Thanks for your support.

I've never tried it, so can't tell - i'm avoiding any updates on the database i'd rather not miss something that will cause more troubles :)I'm using API if i need to do some digging - this way i know all the logic of database is handled by the WEBCON, but in that case API is no help.Although if other places are using ID's (i've not checked it), not GUID's it might work.

The user has the right to delete the created process. I created the option to display the delete and save buttons at the process level in the workflow designer. The save button is displayed under the user, but the delete button is not displayed (I am still working with the user who created the process). If I set the user to Business administrator permissions, he sees the delete button.thanks for help,best regards,MV

2023-10-13T09:17:48+02:00

Hi Adam,Is there any chance that companies were created by hand on each environment, and not with import/export?You could check it by running query below on each environment - if Guids are different, thats the reason why new companies are created.SELECT COM_Name, COM_Guid, COM_ID FROM CompaniesYou should import companies from production env to dev/test, this will create new ones with same guid, and then correct any rules, which used the wrong ones.

Any ideas?Thanks in advance for any reply.

Using BPS 2023 and bulk/excel translation? Save your reports afterwards

2023-10-11T21:36:11+02:00

Hi everyone,if you are using BPS 2023 and the option to translate labels via Excel, make sure to save all reports again.The following numbers are referring to the second attachment.After importing the translation the report configuration will look like (1) in the database. There's nothing wrong with it and it works just fine in the current environment.When you export the application and import it to another environment, you may be in for a surprise (2).Comparing the configuration shows some difference. In my case the field 569 was an AttText4 field in the source and a WFD_Tab field in the target environment (3). Which caused the problem .By changing the columns of the report in the source database, for example clicking the "default view" checkbox twice, (4), the variable definitions had been restored (5).You can execute this SQL statement to verify if there's something for you to do. It should not return any rows.SELECT TOP (1000) [ARP_ID],[ARP_APPID] ,[ARP_Name],[ARP_Configuration] FROM [dbo].[AppReports] where ARP_Configuration not like '%SelectedApplicationId>#%'Best regards,Daniel

Hi Adam,there is/was not much documentation available. Im not sure about the current situation, but since I have gathered enough experience I don't look for it any more.Here are some information which may help you:https://developer.webcon.com/docs/external-form-field/At the bottom there's a link to JS API documentation.https://bpsportal.com/api/index.htmlProvides you with a swagger documentation about the public APIs.How to access them is explained in the developer documentation.There's no documentation about the internal API endpoints. Since they are internal, they are subject to change without any information.If you want to use some function which is available as a Form rule, you can create the form rule and click on show. This will provide you with the actual JS. See the screenshot for an example.I hope you find some useful information on my blog or Github.Best regards,Daniel

Hyperlink from one dictionary A report row to dictionary B instance.

Hi Roman,do you need the functionality to export/import the dictionary entries?If this is not necessary, you can do the following:1. Create a BPS Internal view for the Country dictionary.2. Use the view for the Country field in the City dictionary3. Make sure to use the workflow instance id and not the GUID as ID4. Activate "Show link to selected workflow instance"5. Add the field to the view and tick "Link"6. Change the Display option to "Form field value link7. The field in the view will provide a link to the source element (country). Best regards,Daniel

Hyperlink from one dictionary A report row to dictionary B instance.

2023-10-11T15:55:11+02:00

Data Row attributes are SQL queries, so they are not possible to be displayed on a report by design (probably due to possible performance issues it could bring - nesting SQL statements).You could change it to a regular attribute, and set it's value using form rules, or default value to the link.Then it would be possible to display it on report, but it requires more thinking to make sure that the values will be always up to date.Basics would be to create Form rule On change of Country attribute - calculate new url.It seems like in this specific use case it should be enough, but there might be things i'm missing from whole picture, just like the fact that you might need to use it on report ;)

Hyperlink from one dictionary A report row to dictionary B instance.

2023-10-11T13:43:37+02:00

Hi Roman,When you are using Dictionary process - they use GUID next to (but more like instead of) ID - to allow export/import between environments.So the dropdown field instead of storing ID#CommonName it's storing GUID#CommonName.In version 2023 it's not possible to check 'Hyperlink' in the config, if the source is Dictionary. I've tried to create custom source with elements in the dictionary process, but it ends up with creating url using GUID instead of ID.https://webcon-instance/db/1/app/71/element/ba84040d-5466-47ee-8ba5-22d6ab6104fa/instead of https://webcon-instance/db/1/app/71/element/38523/You could create Data Row attribute, with SQL query that returns this one element - it's ID to be precise, and configure it to act as link (see attached screenshot).In my case S1 would be the field on City dictionary, linking to Country dictionary.

Hyperlink from one dictionary A report row to dictionary B instance.

Hi,I have 2 dictionaries: Countries and Cities. In the Cities dictionary, the form field 'country' is a picker field from the Countries dictionary.I would like this field to become a hyperlink which would take me to the Country dictionary instance for that country. I was expecting this to work at least in the Dictionary report Cities but it doesn't.For example when creating the Barcelona city instance in the Cities dictionary I selected Spain as a country. After saving I want to be able to click Spain and to be redirected to the instance Spain in the Country dictionary, just like that would happen with a normal process.PS Checking the Hyperlink tickbox in the columns tab of the report does not work. I am always directed to the City instance.

Hi Adam, based on your ideas I'm guessing you know how to work with JS and CSS.You can use WEBCON internal endpoints to access the data.While the endpoint for a form /single workflow instance is quite simple the one for reports seem to require some more complex body, which I won't copy here.It's easier if bring up the developer tools and take a look at the network tab.Fetching the data is quite easy within async functions.const options = { method: "GET", //headers: ccls.utils.getFetchHeaders(), }; // Fetch the JSON resource const desktopResult = await fetch(url, options);Single workflow instance endpoint: /api/nav/db/x/element/xx/desktopReport endpoint: /api/db/1/app/8/report/2/dataBest regards,Daniel

Upgrading from ShatrePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 and Webcon 2021

2023-10-09T14:44:21+02:00

Hi MarkFor the standalone installation, we were happy to use an Always-On cluster and we did not have to migrate the database. During the installation process you have to name the database server to connect to. Choose the existing one and also make sure you are using the same AD-accounts. There is a step that asks to create the configuration database -> Skip this step and a pop-up dialog will be shown, press Reload (1), select the config DB (2) and press OK (3). Skip all other database creation dialogs. The new server will be connected to the existing environment.When we moved from integrated to standalone, we followed WEBCON's article to go Sharepointless. It is very well described and there is not a lot that can go wrong. Migration of the database is a simple backup/restore.

Upgrading from ShatrePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 and Webcon 2021

2023-10-09T13:20:44+02:00

Hi MarkWe upgraded to new servers twice up, once on a standalone environment and once from SharePoint integrated to standalone.You are right, you have to deactivate the licence on the old server and activate on the new one. Ideally, you have an online connection to Webcon's licence server. If you have to use the offline way (as it happened to us in one case), coordinate with WEBCON support beforehand, so that they return the new activation file as soon as possible.As a personal opinion, I would take the chance to move from SharePoint to standalone rather than continue in integrated mode and new SharePoint version. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/going-sharepointless-how-to-transform-your-environment-into-standalone/168It takes some preparation beforehand, but this can be done gradually. In our case, the move to standalone went quite smoothly and we also upgraded to a newer WEBCON Version. Good to have Prod and Test environments...

Start Subworkflow (SQL) from a SQL Data Source

2023-10-09T12:43:00+02:00

Ok, I've got it now although it's not very intuitive!Setting the data source in the dropdown, it seems to effectively ignore the actual data source (the query I've already defined as part of that data source) and uses the connection for that data source instead.Then when I write the SQL, I am writing a new query against that connection instead so just use the table name as normal.Thank you for nudging me in the right direction.

Hi,We are in the process of setting up new servers for Webcon with SharePoint. Regarding licences:-If I understand correctly, when we want to move the new servers into production, we must first deactivate the license on the existing servers and move it to the new servers?-What about the time between installation and production? How can we see that Webcon is functioning properly on the new servers? How can we migrate applications to new servers and test them?What about the installation process in general, is there a good guide for installing Webcon with SharePoint? We also plan to upgrade Webcon after migrating to new SharePoint.Thanks!

Hi,I think Karol refers to the "OnEntry" trigger of a step. These actions/automations are always when any path leads to this step. Either from another step or from the same step. It doesn't matter.I have no idea how the Polish term is, but maybe it translates to "input". It could be a "false friend" like the English translated term "fields" is something along "attributes".The "Action preview" of a path will give you an overview of all the actions.Best regards,Daniel

Start Subworkflow (SQL) from a SQL Data Source

2023-10-09T10:37:13+02:00

I am trying to write a SQL statement to start a workflow but the data source needs to be a SQL data source rather than the Webcon database.I have defined the SQL data source (ConnectWise Companies) and it is working OK.I think the problem is what do I use in the "From" part of my SQL statement. If I omit the From part, when I test my query it does not recognise the column names and says "Invalid column name Company ID, Invalid Column name GroupID"I have tried using the Objects tab in the Variables editor to select the "ConnectWise Companies" data source but Webcon just resolves that as a number so the SQL staement fails again.How can I write as SQL statement here to get data from a SQL data source?Thank you.

Same Action, many Paths

2023-10-09T10:31:45+02:00

You can also make a automatic step between, where all paths merge and then automaticly move to final stpe with action in it. This way you won't triger this action when you enter first step.You can us conditions, or just operation on timeout.

Hi all,I am currently building a process in which it is possible to go back to the 'start' step from almost any step. (There are 10 steps that can go back to the 'start')Now I have an (1x) action (action template) that should be performed when someone selects the path to 'start'. Is there a better way than adding this action to every path? (Adding the same action to all paths that lead to the same step again and again is simply inconvenient and contradicts the "Don't repeat yourself" principle).Thanks for your input.

Problem with the report (list) after importing a large amount of data

I have a problem with a report (simple display of a table with objects) for a process into which about 150,000 objects have been imported using the API.After opening the report, a long loading bar appears and then the message "Failed with unknown exception" and to check the calculated columns. There are no calculated columns in the report. There are no such problems for the previous case of 20,000 loaded objects.What could be the reason? Is there any optimization of the WEBCON platform after such a large import?Or maybe you need database optimization? Repair (reorganization) of indexes or database file operations? What do you recommend?

Data Source REST Web Service Connection (Basic / Token Authentication)

Data Source REST Web Service Connection (Basic / Token Authentication)

2023-10-04T14:54:59+02:00

Hi Marc,Based on the docs it seems, that you could just use Basic Auth, to do so:1. Configure Connection with credentials under which Webcon will have access to jitbit. -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/ConnectionsAndDataSource/Connections/DataConnection_RestWebService* Authentication Type - should be set to Basic* Username, password - according to your credentials* Base service instance url - seems like it should be https://helpdesk-url/apiThis though requires some probably technical user in jitbit, as it shouldn't act under a specific person account - if it should, then default way of handling it might not be enough.2. After configuring connection, you should be able to choose it in REST Data Source configuration - for example if you would like to show in a dropdown list of articles published on the helpdesk (https://www.jitbit.com/helpdesk/helpdesk-api/#/?id=articles), or in an Invoke REST action, to use it for creating a new article (https://www.jitbit.com/helpdesk/helpdesk-api/#/?id=article-post)

Defining EMPTY or NULL in report's filters

Tooltips on html buttons

2023-10-03T20:24:41+02:00

Hi Martin,I've been looking at it for a while, and what i've learned is:* WEBCON uses this React package/library to render tooltips: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-popper-tooltip* It basically creates/deletes new DOM element, on mouseover/mouseenter/mouseleave, which is appended to the bottom of the DOMI don't know any way how to hook up into compiled/minified react javascript code though - i consider this would be the best way (probably possible with SDK).What you could try to do is to mimic the look, and behaviour in rather clunky way, but it might work.In attachment you can see how i've configured example HTML Control, which behaves almost like an webcon default tooltip..You can find code here: https://pastebin.com/iBD5xyww (most of it is basically copied rendered DOM element, with edited inset style).And you can see it in action here: https://gifyu.com/image/S6pvSIt requires some tweaks to work on list item (and also to avoid error on refresh), but maybe it will be some starting point to a solution, or at least discussion :)

Advanced css form styling

2023-10-03T13:52:44+02:00

Hello MonikaUnfortunately there is no full pledged control customisation (as a feature) in WEBCON, although there are some places you might want to look at:* Themes: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/webcon-bps-portal-website-look-customization/118 - they allow to modify colors, not borders* Global Parameters: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/SystemSettings/GlobalParams/SystemSettings_AppearanceSettingsMode - here you can set default control, attribute and button styles, and add custom global css. Those although require knowledge of the CSS, and might break between updates - if there will be changes in the UI.* Attribute configuration: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_StyleAndBehavior - here you can again use CSS but per attribute instead of globally.* Path configuration: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Workflow/Step/Path/Action_StepEditPathsParameters - here you can define style of specific path with CSS.There are some really custom creations like those:https://raluca.encorsa.ro/?p=114https://raluca.encorsa.ro/?p=42https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/breadcrumbBut they require more programming skills.

Path Job assigment error, after employee stop working in company

2023-10-02T14:44:47+02:00

It is possible, but not as something global. You would have to configure the assign task actions appropriately. e.g. using SQL to check whether the person to whom we want to assign the task is active/exists in ad, if so, return this person, if not, select another one. And this is probably the biggest problem, because again you would have to know who the task should be assigned to? if it is one user, it's ok, but if the inactive person is different depending on the person who is inactive, you must have this knowledge when configuring. Assuming that the deputy will also be active :). You can also build something like a matrix, a separate workflow and define substitutes there, etc., but all this also needs to be maintained.
