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 (...)

sorting attachment

0 1

Hi, I have a question from users at my company. We use WEBCON BPS PORTAL Version: 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

0 1

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 it’s stored in the element’s 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 th (...)

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

0 4

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.
