Hi, I have a date & time field. I want the timeout to execute one hour from the date and time set in that field. How can I achieve this? From my testing, it seems to only consider the date and not the time. Thanks, Raluca

Hi guys, got element with over 17k versions in history - it has been updated every 30 mins with a cyclical action. I would like to remove it completely, but am not able to. Got timeout using [Delete] button on element, as in the attachment. Also tried the archive action in button (removing completely from the database) with no luck as well. Do not want to remove it manually from DB. Any ideas how to do that? Version 2023.1.2.68

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.

After making modifications to the Word document, I aim to generate a PDF from the updated file. I am using the 'Finish editing a f (...)

Hello Experts We 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 (...)

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 (...)

I was following: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/copy-attachment-to-other-workflow and https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3240 [quote="Daniel"] you using the function would be one option. Other are: - Set the local parameter using an SQL command - Use the for each function to iterate through the attachments - Use the for each function in combination with a data source - Use the for each function in combination with "any collection Since there are numerous ways where th (...)

In STEP C I have made a path called BACK where I've put as destination step "Back to previous step", but now I'm wondering if I can set up an automation with actions that will act differently depending on where it goes next, STEP A or B.
