WEBCON BPS SDK Tools

Hi all, I was following the instructions for Form field extensions: https://developer.webcon.com/docs/your-first-form-field-extension-js I got stuck at the first build step in WEBCON BPS SDK Tools, specifically here: "In order to build your Form Field Extension JS you have to select it in the appropriate dropdown in the tool and click the build button. It results in creating the BPSPKG file which contains all necessary files for the control. Please keep in mind that the first time you (...)

Menu buttons for a specific workflow instance

0 2

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. (...)

Hi everyone, I'm searching but can't seem to find anything about it - does Webcon allow connecting to GraphQL API? One of major accountancy platforms can be connected via GraphQL and I need to access data there. How can this be achieved?

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

0 5

Hi all, I have several questions regarding WEBCON BPS capabilities and best practices: 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? Does WEBCON BPS have a built-in task scheduler / job scheduler (harmonogram zadań)? What are plugin packages mainly used for, considering that many business rules and logic can already be config (...)

AddDate() function for DateTime fields

I have: Date from – DateTime field Time (h) – Choice field (values like: 1, 1.5, 2, etc.) Date to – DateTime field I want Date to to be automatically calculated as: Date to = Date from + Time (h) hours I tried to use a form rule, but I keep getting an error in the Date to field.

Adding new customers to WFELEMENTS using no package plugins

0 2

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 cus (...)

Cannot change the Background Color of itemlist

0 2

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?

Issue with generating an Excel with Translated Column names.

0 0

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 da (...)

WEBCON test upgrade to 2026 – separate environment on local machine

0 6

Hi, I currently have two WEBCON environments (DEV and PROD) running on separate machines. Due to the fact that we’re still on an older version (2023 R3), I’d 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 Wind (...)

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

Hello, we want to integrate a WEBCON application with a banking / core-banking REST API protected by OAuth 2.0 (WSO2). The API is fully standard-conformant (RFC 6749) and supports the following grant types: client_credentials authorization_code password (Resource Owner Password Credentials – intended for trusted internal TSS clients) For the required backend endpoints, the core-banking API supports only user-based tokens obtained via grant_type=password. Application tokens (client_cr (...)

Send Email while "Working on behalf of"

Hi guys, sometimes our management defines a substitution and joins the "working in behalf of" mode. In this case, the guy who is the substitute does not get an email with the information that he/she has to check his work. The mail is only send to the origin task assignee. If the mode "Task delegation substitution" is joined, an email is send to the substitute. In our email actions we set the Checkbox that the mail hs to be "Send to substitue". Do i have to change a configuration or se (...)

swimming lane validation

Hi, I need to validate a workflow instance against other instances of the same workflow. Use case: - users reserve a resource (swimming lane) - each instance has StartDate and EndDate - the same lane cannot be reserved by two instances for overlapping time ranges Question: What is the recommended approach in WEBCON BPS to implement cross-instance validation? I tried Custom Action SDK, but it works only on the current instance. Thanks.

Selecting addresses by SQL

Hello, Can anyone help me with this SQL filter. The problem is that the SQL filter returns all rows, instead of filtering only those that meet the warehouse condition. No matter how I change it, it returns all records from the data source I am attaching a screenshot of the configuration: - WFD_AttChoose2 is a field of type Person in the "warehouse" dictionary In the advance configuration, the field ID = Cos_BpsID -WFD_DTYPEID = 3 (form type of the warehouse dictionary) -WFD_AttTex (...)

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

0 4

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 w (...)

Working with Email attachments and AI

Dear Forum, We are trying to process email attachment (msg file - which according to the documentation is supported). I tried both AI agent and prompt functions. Both work well when I'm attaching PDF (on path and as action) but nothing happens for emails. I Even disabled email conversation tab. I was thinking of extracting email body into form field for processing - but cant find a way to get email body into multi line field (through button/path or other).

Design error on mobile phone when adding attachment

0 4

Hello everyone, When testing applications with attachments on mobile phones (both Android and iPhone), the form is cut off on the left side. The current assumption is that this is due to the size of the attachment box. If the attachment is empty, only the paperclip icon is displayed. However, if there is a file in the attachment, the word “Attachment” is written out and the design error occurs. Has anyone else had the same problem? Or does anyone know a solution for it?
