Hello Community! I have a simple question (at least I think so). Is there a way to make a report that does only show certain columns and DOES NOT link to the details? I have a business delegation process and would like to allow everyone to check who's delegated and when. I do not want everyone to be able to check details of delegation, costs, etc. And clicking on a report row allows me to go to the details - which is what I do not want. Only basic info that I set up in the report should be avai (...)
Hello everyone! I've come across a problem today. One user has some tasks in one of the processes, some are a bit overdue, but that's planned (they keep some tasks active until they will be able to complete them). After setting up a substitution I found out that new tasks are assigned the way I expect - assignment for the user and his substitute. But the substitute has no access to the tasks that have been assigned to the user before setting up the substitution (I mean the active tasks). I had (...)
Hello, I am using an itemlist to show some data to the user. In some cases, the list contains over 50 elements. Because it also has a lot of columns, it is very hard to follow sometimes. I would like to at least make the table header sticky. How can I do that? Thank you in advance! Best regards, George
Hello Webcon community! I'm not sure about Webcon BPS and setting the right timezone, I hope you can shed a light on this topic for me. We have a server with Webcon BPS installed in an Azure VM (Region North Europe), which has (according to Powershell) the right timezone for us (see attached picture). We didn't find any timezone settings in Azure Portal for the VM, so we think this should be correct. In Webcon Portal every time shown is 2 hours ahead (including DST), so something is obviousl (...)
Hello, I am trying to synchronize BPS users with AD, and everything seems to be properly configured - the data is read, but the synchronization fails and each entry shows error as below (of course there is valid data under these xxxxx) Record (distinguishedName: CN=xxxxxxxx,OU=Users,OU=xxx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx, displayName: Lastame, Firstname, adsPath: LDAP://CN=xxxxxx,OU=Users,OU=xxx,DC=de,DC=xx,DC=xx) doesn't contain property useraccountcontrol Our AD does not populate this property for users (...)
Maybe this is simple and I'm just overthinking it. I'm creating new proposals, each new proposal has an automatically generated # associated with it (PFY2021-xxxx). I have the form rule built to create the string, but I need the number portion to append. The xxxx number needs to increment for each new record entered. I can't seem to create an "application wide" variable that I can reference, create a new proposal # and then increment by 1. Now that I think about it like that, can I SQL que (...)
Hi everyone, I learned today that you can close threads, which prevents adding additional answers. This is fine but I believe that we that an additional hint in the thread title would help, too. There are two reasons: 1) it's easier to notice 2) It's a better user experience. If you hide an option the user will wonder why something isn't available also it should be. If you "disable" it instead and provide an explanation everything is clear. Therefore I would suggest to add [Closed] as a prefi (...)
Hi, a user just tried to search for a word through all documents in a report via the report's search panel, using the "Search in Attachments" option. As the hitlist was way too small I got called. I found out that the result only includes instances that have the searched term somewhere in the metadata. If i do a global search I get hundreds of hits - so the documents are properly indexed, and can be found when searched. The report is SQL based. Portal Version is 2020.1.3.411, but I couldn't (...)
Hi all, I have a process for the RH where for the different subsidiaries there are different documents and salary benefits for the new admission. The point is when the subsidiary is selected, the form should be updated with the list of documents needed and send them in a notification for the new candidate. There are some issues with this, I'm not able to initialize the item list with the dictionary details (only DB or Sharepoint is available), I don't want to do this by SQL query beca (...)
Hello everyone, thank you very much so far for all your questions/comments which helped me a lot or inspired me at least. Today, i have my own problem/question and maybe someone of you were struggling with it before. I am working on a "BPS groups Managing Tool" and therefore wanted to use the WEBCON tables BpsUsers & BpsUsersGroupRelations. But actually both tables are returning nothing, when using "SELECT * ...". Does anyone have an idea, what i am doing wrong ? It's irritating, because t (...)
We are about migrating content to WEBCON BPS. I would like to have at least the last modifying users migrated as well. How could i achieve this? Was thinking about setting a technical field to the last modifying user and then doing an SQL Update on the element after migration. Sure this is not the way that is officially supported. But is there another way?
Hello everyone! I have two questions. 1. Did anyone use the absence process template as the time schedule for the employees? My client has many different shifts for employees and I was thinking of presenting the data with the mentioned process. Any ideas would be appreciated. 2. At this point my main problem are the colors presenting the vacation type (which in my case would be the shift). The Vacation Type data source has only 6 available colors. I need more than that. Does anyone know if w (...)
During the latest webinar Mike mentioned the GitHub Tool for bulk data loading. Does anyone know where I can get it? I didn't find it on the WEBCON-BPS page on GitHub. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Good morning, How to disable showing attachments from a specific workflow in search results?
Hi all! I am new to WebCon BPS. I wonder if it is possible to get all items of a process or a datasource/dictionary defined in BPS from client side via REST API. In SharePoint I did something like this: _api/web/lists/getbytitle('MyList')/items?select=Title... This does not seem to be possible with BPS REST API or at least I did not find it ;-) I am thankful for every hint pushing me into the right direction. Thanks in advance, best regards, Nik
Hi everyone! I read the article about ADFS Customization: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/adfs-customization/208 My issue is that my Windows server is not configured correctly and I lack knowledge to configure it. I started reading the MS documentation and it's huge. There are a lot of settings to configure and I'm not sure what's needed and what not. I was wondering if there is anyone who would be willing to point me in the right direction... Thanks, Martin
Hello all, again its me =) Do you have any idea if I can change the lable of the attachment? Somehow its always in English, but customer wants it in German. I added a screenshot, that you understand what I mean. Greets and have a nice day, Georg
Hey all, again I need your help. Do you know any possibilities to create a new user when you register with the new openID feature? For example, a new user register over openID. After redirect the user has no access to the application, because he only exists in, for example, azure ad but not as a bps user on the plattform. I hope my question is clear enough =) Greets Georg
Hello Everyone, I am looking for solution to exchange files between WebCon and SharePoint Online. I was thinking about built-in actions in WebCon ("add an attachment to a list") as described in this article: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/creating-a-sharepoint-site-with-a-webcon-bps-action/203/3 Unfortunately probably because of MFA I am not able to establish connection with SPO (I get error "The sign-in name or password does not match one in the Microsoft account system"). I don't h (...)
Does anyone know if it's possible to show data not present in an application on the report? I have read the article about calculated columns (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/using-calculated-columns/196/3) but that's not my case. What I would like to do is join the items from the report to a table in a different database (on the same server) or to an existing MSSQL data source. In many processes I have a global field with the unique identifier. I would like to use this key for a 1:1 jo (...)
