Hi, We have problem after update to ver. 2023.1.2.99. We have implemented menu buttons for Help Desk and Printing. In 2022, every user who have acces to instance can push button and print form or start help desk (button in menu was accesable in every step or last steps etc). After the update buttons apear on the form but after clicking there is error... and users cant use it. Is it new feature or is it a bug. It looks like some save restrictions - but it was not the case in 2022 ver. (...)

Hi Guys, knowing i am a newbie, i just have a maybe quite simple question. Can i get the ID of the 'calling' action on the entry path of an action? Would like to check which ist the caller and depending on the result send an email or not. Thats it ;-) Thanks for some hints, Gerd

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? (...)

Hello, The workflow I am designing requires an email to be sent after a certain time spent in a step. Is this possible using the Date Diff function?

Hello, I have a Global Action that allows users to Generate a copy of the form. This action worked with Read only access before we upgraded to version 2023.1.2.124. Now it is giving an error message to users and when I looked up the error it states users need elevated access.("User has not sufficient permission to edit WorkFlow instance"). Is there any work around to this or maybe a different action that would allow people to be able to print even if the task is not with them and don't have edi (...)

Hi Guys I need your help. I start tasks based on a workflow but attachments do not transfer. If I do it manually as a action on path then the attachments move to subworkflow and its ok. But if I use a cyclical action to call the same action -> "create SQL subworkflow", tasks are created but without attachments :/ Example in the attachment, I trigger the same action: Uruchom zadanie TEST (en: Run the TEST task) I use version 2022.1.4.223

Hello everyone! I have an item list with a dropdown field where user chooses a WFD_ID value. I would like to execute an action (Update related workflow instance or Invoke REST web service) passing the WFD_ID chosen in the mentioned field to the action. Is something like that even possible? I can't find a solution myself. Thank you, M.

Use case: We are using an offer process/workflow, where we fill in the costs in a table - e.g. columns "descripition, quantity, price per unit, total price." In case the offer is accepted and we'll need a change request of the costs we need a two separate process steps. The first step will start the change request, opening two additional columns in the table - "quantity for change request, total price for change request". This can be done for every existing row in the table. In the next wor (...)

There are two date fields in our workflow. To pass the process to the next workflow step, we use an action "on timeout". Checking for a date field works. However, we need a condition for the timeout that takes both date fields into account: If date field 2 is non-empty take this date for the timeout, otherwise take date 1 for the timeout. Can this be implemented with an "on timeout" action and if so, how?

Hi, I want to use the action - Send a custom email and get email addresses from a Dictionary. I checked "Selecting addresses by SQL/CAML query" and as Data source: i chose my Dictionary When i write a SQL query it doesn't filter. It shows all columns and rows. In my workflow i have a choice field Vendor name (from a Dictionary - it contains Vendor Name, Vendor Email). When i pick that vendor, i want to send an email to that vendor. Can you help? Thanks.

Hi all! We are using the action 'Invoke REST Web service' a lot, but there are some limitations I am struggling with. I want to download an Excel file using this action, using an external REST service. My first approach was to store the response body into a multi-line content field. I am also using a HTML field with a download button, to save this file from content field to disk. This method is working very good with plain/text. After saving file from Content field to disk, Excel (...)

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 (...)

Hi, this question may be silly, but I found no sufficient solution yet: Task: After generating sub workflows from item list entries get the item list entries removed. Approach: Use the action to change item list values with "Replace" Effect: One item list entry is created, all the others are removed Question: How do I get an item list blanked, all entries removed from the database *without* one entry being inserted? If anybody has a hint for me, it will be very helpful. Thank you f (...)

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing great! I need some help here! I want to change a selection of fields with empty value on path transition. The idea is that I have a cyclical process and I need to clean some fields in order to be available on the next step. I'm trying to use the Multiple Change Values to make them as empty, but I'm being unsuccessful here! Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you all!
