Hi, What would be the best way to generate pdfs that would contain different images (for example logos), based on a form field? I was thinking of two ways: -Create a couple of different document templates with pictures already inserted and dynamically select template based on the other field value(s). -Insert picture into a image form field during the workflow and then insert the picture into the document with the generate word document action (this would not be a good solution, since (...)

Hi, are any of you using the AD action that allows you to add/remove users from a group? Maybe I`m missing something, but I can't get the action to remove a user from a group to work. The add user to group action works fine, but when deleting, the log says that user is not a member of selected group. I tried with different groups, making sure that users are synchronized, and even for testing purposes used domain admin account in the AD actions configuration, but without success. Does this (...)

Hi, How to set up multiple sender email addresses? In the configuration of sending emails you can settup only one account and our custommer would like to send emails from different inboxes depending on the application. They use Graph for the email configuration. Graph is capable of sending emails from multiple accounts, but can we settup this somehow in webcon? I find it strange not to be able to as it is quite an important functionality especialy when webcon allows multiple applications to (...)

Hi, In my "Leave of absence" process I allow users to select more than one person who will be the substitute during the leave. Action "Add substitution" (not sure it's name is exactly like this, I have Polish version) in current version, provided with the form field containing more than one person, adds the substitution only for the first one. It seems to have been working some versions ago. Is it normal now, does anyone have a workaround?

Hi all, I have a process where the user fills in information in a datasource form field. When a value is picked, one of the columns in that datasource is copied into another field (status). This field-status is used in a control step to move the process accordingly. But I need to have that information refreshed, when the process is moved to a system step, it will be there for 15 days which means that it the status is changed, I need that to be reflected on my side. I've tried two approac (...)

Hi, I'm creating the workflow for registering agreements with some typical fields: counterparty, agreement no., value, signature date - let's call it Agreement Register (AR). To avoid manually register all necessary data I've also created another workflow (Import Agreements Data) with item list, which is populated using excel file and on entry of default path a subworkflow AR should start using action "for each" collection from the item list populate the fields in AR instance . But even if fiel (...)

Hello all, I know this as been asked in the forum, but I have an issue with the action Move workflow. I've read the answers for another user, but I think I can't use the example on the https://alterpaths.com/massive-update-of-sub-workflows-in-webcon-bps/ because for my case I have 5 different chains in the Child workflow and each of them as their own Complete and Cancel step. This was working prior for the cancelled but I'm wondering if this only works if you have one final step (either (...)

Hello, In 2020 version of Webcon when using "Generate/Update a Word File" action, there was a checkbox "Show on screen" on the Output tab. We were using this option in one aplication to show generated file to a user in a preview mode. After upgrading to version 2021, the option was changed to "Download after file generation" which causes automatic file download without option to quickly preview the document and print it. Is there a possibility to get that previous functionality in version (...)

HI all, I have a process that will be opened for tax payment. By law, the payments need to be handled until each 20th day for each month. So, the idea is to create a reminder taking that date, so the user does not forget to make the payment. I have a Date of Request from where I pick up the month and year, and I want to set the reminder date as 20th/Month of Request Date/Year of Request Date. I would like to have this automatically calculated instead of relying on the user to select somet (...)
