After upgrading to most recent version 2021.1.3.205, a simple form rule definded at path parameters stopped working (the rule on the attached screen). If I change the rule just to CONFIRM['Something'] (without the IF), then it works, but with the IF it does not. It used to work in 2021.1.1.53. Anyone experiencing such an issue?

Hi everyone, I'm currently facing the following situation: A workflow has a 'wait for sub-workflows' step. A new request came in, to assign a task during this step, so that the workflow still get's listed in the tasks overview. So far so good, I used the 'Create a task' action to manually add a task. Unfortunately, this task isn't completed when the workflow moves to the next step. As a result there are two task in the next step. The one which is created by the path transition and the one creat (...)

Does anyone came across an error like this? Not sure how to solve it. I attached the list of actions that occurs in the path but I don't understand what is the problem. Thank you for your help!

Hello Webcon community! We are wondering if there exist any common approaches / tools / patterns for transferring workflow data between different environments. We have an on-premise environment for DEV (with internal AD) and an environment for PROD (which resides in Azure VM and connects to Azure AD). What are your experiences to sync data, e.g. from PROD to DEV or TEST between different environments (different ADs) and is there even an easy way of how to do it? Thanks a lot in advance for (...)

Hello Webcon community! We have the next issue during Webcon BPS installation on customers server. This is a normal on-premise installation, no Azure AD involved here, only local domain. Customer had an invalid certificate, IIS website creation failed with error 0x80070520, so we skipped the IIS site creation for the moment. I have 2 questions on this: 1.) What kind of IIS certificate does the customer need and how to create it (self-signed, private key, encryption method, password, ...)? Do (...)

Hi, On the form, I am using the Chart data field. I am wondering whether it is possible to use the chart field in the Word printout report. Is there an alternative way to draw a chart based on the form data in the report? Maybe in HTML report. I was also thinking to put chart into the Picture field that is supported in Word templates. Any insight on how to approach this would be appreciated. Best regards Aleš

I have a structure where a meeting (parent workflow) has many Agenda Points (Subworkflows). On each Agenda point, I have (inter alia) two fields that I would like to include in Meeting Minutes (an item list on Meeting), where each line item corresponds to one Agenda Point. When I finish an agenda point I would like to create a line item in the items list (meeting minutes). SELECT '{1805}' AS {DCNCOL:253} , '{1891}' AS {DCNCOL:254} , '1' AS {DETCOL:1910} FROM WFElements WHERE WFD_ID = {WFD_W (...)

I try to implement a ConfigEditableItemList in a custom action in C#-code. When I go over the ConfigEditableItemList I get the message: "The class with the item list configuration must implement: IConfigEditableItemList". I implemented an example but when I upload the SDK into Webcon I get an error that there is the implementations missing and I can see nothing from the SDK. Has someone experience with the ConfigEditableItemList and can give me a better example? Photos from the case are (...)

I haven't found any documentation how to access the current form data. What I know is, that all the formdata is kept in a json property called liteDate.liteModel as a json-object as you can see when calling /api/nav/db/{dbId}/app/{appId}/element/{wfdid}/desktop I guess that this liteModel must be available via javascript. I'm wondering, because there is this form from the offical 2021 release paper (see below) with the nicely presented workflow steps on top of it. And I believe that this a (...)

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

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

Hi everyone, I am experiencing an issue with the "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action. When I use this action to merge multiple Word documents (.docx) into a single file, the page numbering in the resulting document is generated incorrectly. As a result, the final document does not have a continuous page sequence (for example, the page numbering restarts from 1 at the beginning of each merged section). I need the final, merged document to have consecutive, continuous page (...)

Hey everyone, I've got a request from my business to automatically split the tasks between people in the department. Did anyone here had a chance to implement something like round robin / load balance of tasks assigned to people from a group? The idea would be one person get's the task assigned, but the remaining part of the team will just get edit rights to the document. I don't recall any built-in solutions, but before creating one, maybe somebody already faced this challenge :)

As Microsoft is removing support for legacy authentication, and webcon is still using base login/password for SharePoint. Is Webcon planning to implement connecting through application? There is SharePoint via REST, but I'm saying about SharePoint Site Collection connections - these will stop working very soon.

Hi all, I have several questions regarding WEBCON BPS capabilities and best practices: Is it possible to create printouts (printable documents / reports) that use values from form fields (e.g., Date from, Date to, Choice fields, Text fields) and generate a printable confirmation for the user? Does WEBCON BPS have a built-in task scheduler / job scheduler (harmonogram zadań)? What are plugin packages mainly used for, considering that many business rules and logic can already be config (...)

Can I query SQL (WFDElements) to get a value for calculated column in the report from another workflow? Alternatively is there any way to present an SQL query as a report? Or on dashboard? I have a few cases where I need to pivot certain information. The only way until now that I found is to create a data source and a technical workflow that will load it into a table but it's far from perfect

Hello community, We previously worked with Webcon BPS version 2022 and has upgraded to 2025.1.1. In the older version, I remember there was an option in Designer Studio (can’t recall exactly where) to view a workflow diagram—similar to the Workflow Designer view—that showed how many times each path was used. I used this feature during testing to verify that all paths were covered and to check the number of executions. Does anyone know where this functionality can be found in version 2025.1.1, o (...)

Has anyone experienced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this issue with Front-end module licensing in Freemium? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions! Thank you i (...)

Hi there. I'm wondering if (and how) it is possible to open an attachment directly from a report (e.g. via a link column) without the need to enter the form? Kind regards, Klaus
