Column in 'Usage' eventho its not

3

There is a column (Co_Id) in an item list that states that it is used in an replace item list action. However the Action is not using this column. See the pictures in the attachments. For more information, as far as i know the replace item list used an action template in the template settings. The Template was changed so that it does not include the "Co_Id" column anymore. The actions that used the form template also reflect the change when opening the configuration, yet the column still s (...)

How can I display numbers in Word printouts with thousand separators in WEBCON BPS?

2 3

Hi everyone, I’m trying to display numeric values in WEBCON BPS Word printouts with thousand separators (for example, 1.000,00€ instead of 1000,00€). Interestingly, in Item Lists (tables) the formatting is shown correctly with thousand separators. However, in regular form fields (for example, floating-point numbers), the values are displayed without the separator. Is there a way to configure this for standard form fields as well? Any advice or best practices on how to achieve co (...)

Mail Drag and Drop from New Outlook

Hi together, could it be that it is no longer possible to drop a mail into an Webcon Element (Attachments) directly from the New Outlook (M365) ? Or is this a matter of settings? Version is 2025.1.1.152 Kind regards Klaus

Slow-loading form due to a large number of versions and extensive data in the item list

0 3

Hello, One of our workflows has been poorly designed and currently has over 700 versions. The form contains an item list with more than 1200 rows. Each time the form is opened, it loads very, very slowly. Is it possible to initialize only, for example, the last 100 rows, and load the remaining rows on demand via a button? Do you perhaps have an idea how to feed new rows at the step I marked in the diagram? Currently, the rows are loaded into a technical table at those steps, and then pulled i (...)

Subject: Partial notification Emails in Parallel Tasks with "Completion-All" Setting

0 3

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?

Datatable and datarow in an archived element

0 3

Hi, When instances are "live", datatables / datarows are just nice objects to use. However, when an element is archived, datatable shows "No data preview for an archived element", while datarow does not render at all. Scenario: a parent and 1+ children. You can have a datatable in the parent's form to show the list of children along with some relevant info, and each child may have a datarow to show the same about the parent. While parent & children are not archived, everything is just fine (...)

Cannot install Webcon App on Android Device

0 3

We are currently testing a Zebra Android handheld scanner (Model: MC333U-GJ3EG4EU) and would like to install the Webcon app on it. However, when attempting to install the app via the Google Play Store, we receive an error message. I’ve read that App developers can define which device models are supported in the Play Store, but I can’t understand why this particular scanner is not eligible. The Android version is up to date, and the Webcon app installs without issue on other Zebra models. H (...)

Error when using business rule in SQL query

1 3

Hi guys, I'm trying to cyclically start new elements in BPS based on data retrieved from another system. I already have an endpoint that returns the required data. To achieve this, I planned to use a global action (cyclical). First, I created a business rule that fetches the data using a REST API. Then, I wrote an SQL query that utilized this business rule to retrieve the data. However, when testing it, I keep encountering the following error: WebCon.WorkFlow.BusinessLogic.BusinessRu (...)

POST to move process to next step.

Hi, I have a process that use API to send data to another system. I have a patch in WebCon to check status, based on the feedback, process moves to the next step or waits another hour on the timer.

Dictionary Fields in embedded HTML on Dashboard

I have the following problem. I'd like to have a kind of popup field on the dashboard where I can display a field from my Dictionary. The field should be stored in a dictionary so that it's easy to maintain. I would then like to display these value in my popup. How can I access the value from my dictionary within my embedded HTML? Or is that even possible, and if not, is there a workaround to achieve this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Retrieving previous and comparing to new value

0 3

Hi, I'm having a dilemma about comparing two date objects. My thinking is when I do sql queries to retrieve data from objects it will give you already stored db results, but with webcon functions you actually get value before it is actually stored. It does not work this way, so i'm looking for a way to do it. In conclusion, it should compare date before change and after change (this is triggered on menu action SAVE).
