Dear All, sorry if this is an extremely easy question, but how do I select printer in action Print barcode label? I have an option to select primary printer and accounting printer. But how do I select "Document entry points" with assigned printers there? What if we have more than two barcode printers in company? How can we point that for specific process we will use this printer, and for other process we will use different printer? Anyone found a solution for that? Anyone faced same issue? T (...)

Hello community! Maybe this is a very basic question, but I am asking it anyway ;-) I tried out OnTimeOut action, but after some experiments it is very unclear to me, how this is expected to work. I added one time out action with Type: Minute, Interval (minutes): 1, Repetition count: Infinite and 1 action below which basically changes the value of a single field. My expectation was, that this field change should happen on every workflow element every minute, but this didn't happen. What di (...)

Hi All, I have a workflow where I use “Start a subworkflow (SQL)” action. I also have a “Wait for sub-workflows(system step)” step where I wait until all the subworkflows will end. I configured the “Wait for sub-workflows” to go back to “register step” when one of the subworkflows finished negative. See picture And here are my problems: Let say I started 3 sub-workflows and one of them went negative path. Although my main workflow went to the “register step” the rest sub-workflows are sti (...)

We have a form that needs to stay open for a length of time before auto moving the flow into a cancelled step. This length of time is user selectable when creating a new record. Talent Req is created and posting is set to stay up for 30/60/90 days. Is there a way to get the Timeout interval value set to the value of a form field? (If the user chooses 30 days, that will be the timeout value, 60, etc...)

Hello everyone, I have an action where I upload one or multiple attachements (PDF) to a SharePoint list in SharePoint Online. Currently all attachement uploaded to the SP list are checked out.

Hi, I use process level constants when I need to generate MS Word attachments. This gives me consistency when transferring processes between DEV / TEST / PROD. I don't have to think about replacing the name /DOCTEMP/f8e86bc...e967af9b62 with another guid in appropriate action. The same I wanted to do for generating MS Excel attachments. Unfortunately I get the error: WebCon.WorkFlow.Common.Exceptions.WorkFlowException: An (name) action execution error on a menu button occurred. ---> System.Net. (...)

Ok, now that my PS script is running, in this particular instance I need to grab a variable result and assign that value to a form field. Simply assigning the Form Field = $psvar isn't working. Is this possible?

Awhile back I was able to run PS scripts via an action without any issues. I don't use them much, primarily when playing around with what is possible. However I have a need for them now, but they will not run from webcon. I am running the powershell with an account that has the correct permissions. I have verified by running powershell on the webcon server with the account and testing the script. I see the following error in event viewer. PowerShell Error Message=WCF Service can be executed o (...)

Hi everyone! I'm facing a problem and hoping to hear that you might have a clue on what to do. I've a process that creates users in AD. However the user creating action expects a parameter of username in format DOMAIN\USERNAME. My domain users have changed UPN logins to their e-mail adresses (e-mail domain is different than my local domain name) in order to have one login in every system. Is there a way to create AD users providing their e-mail (UPN) as login? Has anyone came across such issue? (...)

Hi Community, After the deployment of version 2021.1.3.178 the subworkflows that start after a flow control step are no longer working. I have multiple cases in my company where I need to use a flow control step to evaluate if the subworkflow should start or not and it stopped working after I got the update. I don't know how to fix it or come up with an workaround and I'm awaiting on the support. This happening for all control fields, even if there is no subworklow starting. Anyon (...)

I have the scenario, where i keep e-mail address and other informations in an itemlist. Now i need to send e-mails for each recipient in the itemlist. The e-mail contains informations from other columns in this list. By having three entries in the itemlist, there would be three e-mails with different content to be sent. Currently i'm thinking about creating a simple workflow to send an e-mail. The workflows would be started with the "Start a subworkflow (SQL)" action based on the itemlist con (...)

Hi everyone, maybe I'm missing something, but is there an option to create multilingual custom emails? Example: A task is assigned to three users, one of them has set the portal language to English the other ones are using German. If we are using the "standard mail action" or activate the corresponding checkbox two mails will be send. One in English for the first one and another one in German for the remaining two. If we want to send a custom mail though, I don't have an option for defining mul (...)

Hello, I've just come accross a slight problem with updating an item list. I have a list of items (emplayee, year, number of days available). The list is being initialized at the registraton step with all the employee names (70 rows). I've also created seperate attribute fields for year and number of days and would like to type let's say "2022" in the year field (the separate one outside the list) and clone it to all the items on the list. The "update item list action" requires a unique ID of ro (...)
