Hi everyone, I tried to connect to one of our sharepoint online sites. For some reason, I get a message that the login or username is not correct. (see screenshot) If I use the same login data for our on-prem Sharepoint 2013, it works fine. (see screenshot) On the Sharepoint online site which I want to connect, I am logged in with my valid credentials and I am both in the member and the owner group. (see screenshots) Our on-prem AD is fully synchronised with MS Entra ID (formerly Azur (...)

Dear Community, I just discovered that when I select SearchIndex as a source for calendar type report, elements are in different timezone than server time. When I change source to SQL source everything is fine. Does anyone experience same issue? Best.

After upgrade to version 2022.1.4.174 I get errors on some querries that use <Current BPS Connection>. Error occurs when querying another database directly or using join, etc from SQL COMMAND or choose field querry. I found that this is related to change described in https://community.webcon.com/download/changelog/117?q=cf05b90, associated with using bps_user on SQL COMMANDS. Is there any way to deal with it at SQL server level by proper configuration or should I change <Current BPS Connecti (...)

Hello, is there a possibility to use existing SOLR as Data Source? I had an idea to show users SQL grid, which would show similar items found in database, based on text typed in regular TextInput field. That lead me to Levenshtein Distance algorithm, which might be slow in SQL, but i've found that such a thing is already implemented in SOLR (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1752301/how-to-configure-solr-to-use-levenshtein-approximate-string-matching). Also, any ideas how to implement i (...)

Hi there, ever since OAuth2 connection was implemented I was happy and thought it would make connecting to Dynamics BC (Saas / Cloud Version) a breeze. However, so far, it was / is not. setting up the OAuth2 app authentication in Azure and webcon is pretty straightforward. - it works like a charm in Postman ( I get my bearer token back) but I have no real way to test it in webcon, so I have to assume it´s working. then you still have to set up the REST Web Service connection, then the (...)

Hi, I have some problem with privilages. I have the choice field which is sourcing by BPS Internal view. One of user don't see the data in this field (she see field but data source is empty for her). I checked already if there is some space sign or any other which limited the search result. She has privilages to application, form, on choice field there is no limit. I've seen everything because I have an admin privilages but even if I revoke permission (to replicate the problem) I stil (...)

Hi, I add new connection (MSSQL database) - test it with success. Next I add new data source with some SQL query which returns some data when I test it. If I save that connection Webcon shows the error: "Failed to retrive column from data source XXX. No connection settings." If I want to test that data source in choice form field I've returned: Nieznany błąd: The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.. Does anyone have some idea what I should do to fix it? Than you (...)

Hello. Is there a way to use a stored procedure as datasource instead of a view or table or Select statement? I use at the moment a query on two tables (UNION) which has an inner join on another table. The speed is not really breathtaking, thus I wanted to use a stored procedure where I can perform all the timetaking steps already on the SQL server. Regards Klaus

Hello all, Does anyone set up an action to add items in a Sharepoint Calendar?

Have any of you implemented or are planning to implement in your company an interface for operating the KSeF (e-invoice) system via WEBCON? Similarly, has anyone successfully visualized an e-invoice according to ministry-defined template (xsd)? This would be a real GameChanger for WEBCON and natural for accounting document workflows. Maybe there are ready-made SDK libraries available or does anyone have an idea how to implement it at the lowest possible cost? https://www.podatki.gov.pl (...)

Hello, I created a few BPS users and I found out that they are saved in BPS_Config instead of BPS_Content. From the Administration tab I activated license for some users, but I have no idea in what table I can see this information. I want to make a calculated column in a dictionary report where I can see witch user has license. So in what table I can find if a BPS user has license or not? Thank you, Best regards!

Hi, how to set a filter in the data source for a data table so that search-filtering by date works. The usual filtering according to the scheme does not work: 1. "some date (iso or browser settings)" = "field in the data table with a date" (like attachment) 2. "some date (iso or browser settings)" like "field in the data table with a date"

Hello everyone, I need your help with a task that should actually be relatively simple. I'm trying to establish a connection to my Site Collection in SharePoint and have entered the relevant data (Server and Site Collection, User, ...). When I click on "test", it loads for several seconds, and I get the error: Unable to connect to the remote server. Regarding my rights in SharePoint: I am the owner of the Site Collection. What could be the cause of this? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, Does anyone knows or have configured something that can relate the country vs national holidays in the country? Like having the calendars for Portugal Holidays, Spain, etc I know that we have to manually insert the holidays in the System configuration for calendar's table but in this case, the idea is, if I'm abroad and inserting extra hours, by defining where I am, the system could check if it's an holiday or not. Thanks!
