Hi, I'm writing this post to verify, that I didn't overlooked an option. Situation: I have a data table to get the data of subworkflows and the base 64 encoded values of their attached images. This data table is used to create a word document. The standard SQL connection uses the bps_user which neither can read data from a separate database nor is the user allowed to read the attachment file table: "The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'WFAttachmentFiles', database 'BPS_1f6af (...)

Hi, we are considering changing the domain for users in AD in our company, which will consequently result in changing logins in BPS and losing permissions. Are there any scripts available that would allow us to update the tables so that we can preserve the existing permissions and access rights for users? What about licenses? Will they be revoked for the old logins and assigned to the new ones, or is there a specific procedure in place for such a case?

Dear Community, In a process where parallel tasks are configured with the "Completion – All" setting, I would like to send a notification email to the task initiator as well as to all other parallel task assignees each time one of them completes their task. This should continue until all assigned users have completed their tasks. How can I achieve this behavior? Which action should I use, given that neither "on exit" nor "on path" seems to work in this scenario?

Is there an up-to-date list somewhere showing the limit of attributes that can be used in a single process? I'm asking because I used the Yes/No choice field 40 times, and the only page I found is from 2020, which says that such fields are limited to 20, not 40. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/limiting-the-number-of-form-fields/70/3

I don't have a "WEBCON BPS Software Development Kit" license. I'm wondering about the possibility of electronically signing attachments. Is the only option for using a qualified personal signature the "IT Hit Doc Opener 5" add-on? The "Sign an attachment" action only applies to the signature placed on the server, not the user's personal signature?

Hi, in this report, does a user need to have read privileges to view the data? Not to open the document itself, but just to view a specific item within the report. A couple of days ago, this worked without issue(without read rights), but now, without any changes, it no longer does — a user only see rows in the report for elements that have some assigned rights (such as read).

The application was initially developed in the dev-environment and later exported to the prod-environment. However, changes have since been made directly in the prod-environment that are not reflected in development—and unfortunately, these changes were not documented. Now the question is: Is it safe to overwrite the development version with the production version, considering potential issues such as differing IDs, configurations, or other environment-specific data? If it's not safe, what (...)

I’m missing the option to select multiple attachments (for example, to sign them or send them via email). I'm not referring to using any naming pattern or attachment group, but rather giving the user full flexibility to manually select the desired attachments. Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Perhaps it would be possible to use a Item List that would dynamically display all attachments and allow them to be selected?

I have some local groups. In the admin-view (via browser) I see a hour-glass on all local groups (waiting for sycn). This is only in our production stage. All ok in the development stage. 1) Business-Rule "CURRENT USER IS ONE OF" or "USER IS ONE OF" are not evaluated correctly (returning always false, even the user is member) => works perfect in dev-stage 2) "GROUP MEMBERS" is returning all members correctly 3) Task assignment including email (standard) seems to work ok => this is happenin (...)

Hi everyone, I have two questions regarding the description feature of Form Fields, which is typically shown via the small info icon (the little “i”) on mouse-over. 1. Form Field description visibility and placement In one of my forms, I’m using a large input field, and the info icon appears very small and all the way to the right. It’s barely visible and often overlooked by users. Ideally, I’d like to have the icon closer to the field label, or make it larger or more noticeable. Altern (...)

2 examples: 1. We have a BPS group "BPS WEBCON DEV ADMINS" (3 members). If I use these group as "Business Administrators", then this is not evaluated for the Analytics-Views (all analytics reports are hidden for them). If I add these members as user to "Business Administrators" it is working as expected. 2. I have reduced the privileges for a certain report. If I use a BPS Group, this is also not evaluated (Report not visible for group-members). However, if I add these users directly in th (...)

Hi, Is it true that the Business Administrator role is required to view the analysis (Overview, Heatmap, etc)? If that's the case, then I have a bigger problem. Since the metrics are relevant for our process managers, for example, or even for department or division heads, I would have to assign them the role of business administrator. This would also allow them to delete workflow instances from the productive system or work in administration mode.... => Big no-go Kind Regards Ernst

Hi! is there a way to sort the steps in the KPI report by their order in the workflow? The current alpha-sort makes no sense, imho. (in a different workflow wie use numbers in the steps... like 100 Start, 120 Approval,... but thats only a dirty workaround) Kind regards Ernst

We will soon be using the “Public Access” feature, which allows external users to be invited to a WEBCON application step (in our case) or steps without a BPS account. So far, I’ve only found the option to customize the invitation email (see PIC-1). However, most of the people we invite are unfamiliar with WEBCON or WEBCON BPS and don’t immediately connect it to JR Rädlinger. In the invitation, we’ve already added “powered by WEBCON” so that the logo might at least be recognizable. My questio (...)

Hi all! Maybe this question has already been answered before, but I am struggling with an automation and action 'Invoke REST webservice'. I want to start REST API endpoint within a cyclical action on a daily schedule. This is some kind of 'long running operation', at the moment it takes 10 minutes on PROD environment. I already set execution time limit to 6000 for automation and also in global configuration, this should be fair enough. But all I am getting is HttpClient error mess (...)

I used JS button to InvokeRule(Form rule). Form rule used FOR EACH ROW function on Item list to populate technical column with increment integer (1, 2, 3…). This integer was used for Item list sorting in Item list configuration. While in version 2022, the execution order of FOR EACH ROW was driven by sorting (even unsaved) Item list as seen on the screen (First sorted visible row first, Last sorted visible row last), it is not the case in version 2025. What is the driver for FOR EACH ROW executi (...)

Hi community, We are using in our company long URL (especially for SharePoints) with length over 256 characters. Using Item list Hyperlink column with format 'link:http://intranet.company.com;displayname:Link' ends up for long URL to appear as full URL (in Edit mode) instead of displayname. Any Idea how to solve it and show displayname for long URL?

In BPS 2023.1.3.202 version I started getting frequent warnings like the one below. What is the reason for this? FirebaseAdmin Category: Exception Role: MobilePushNotifications FirebaseAdmin.Messaging.FirebaseMessagingException: Unknown error while making a remote service call: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found). ---> System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found). ---> Google.GoogleApiException: <!DOCTYPE (...)

I am trying to use the inbuilt CR feature (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/change-requests/388/3) Very nice implementation. But without any notification (ie. email if new request is submitted or on a new comment) this feature does not help much... or I am missing something? best regards Ernst

Hello, I'm using WEBCON BPS version 2025.2.1.42. I have configured my environment based on this article: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/application-hub/544/3. I have only Windows Authentication enabled in WEBCON BPS, and I configured a support subdomain to share it with our clients. I set up IIS, and the support domain is available in the system. The URL works and opens correctly, but I can't log in — after logging in, I'm always redirected back to the login page. Is anyone usi (...)
