Adding mail address for local windows user

Hi everyone, does someone has an idea, how I can add a mail address to a local user account?

The VM has no access to a domain so the installation has been executed using local user accounts. The customer will access BPS Portal using AAD. I'm not part of the AAD so I can only use the l (...)

Signing PDF Attachments

Hi. I was very optimistic that I could sign PDF files with locally installed certificates (Adobe reader functionality) using the "IT hit Edit Doc Opener" Addin as mentioned in the Webcon Knowledge Base (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/new-way-to-use-a-digital-signature/253).

Item list - target field option gives value to wrong row

Hello everyone! :) It's great to work on Webcon, really useful staff. Unfortunately I think i found a bug, since I can't find any issue in my configuration. I have an Item List field type with some fields in it: type, subtype, value, start-date, finish-date. My configuration is set to automaticly take value from database and place it on 'value' when I pick 'subtype' from dropdown. I am using the target field option, because 'subtype' is a picker. Everything works fine until I delete some elem (...)

Adding Attachments to the form not working anymore before Instance is saved

Hi, we just updated on Friday to Version 2021.1.4.36. Just now a user called and showed me that she is getting an unknown exception error when trying to add an attachment to a manually created new instance. She has the rights to do so, and can add attachments as soon as the instance is manifested in the DB through save button that directs to the same step. So there is a known workaround, but it would be nice if this got fixed. I as an administrator can still add attachments before saving th (...)

Using WebDav

0 7

Hi, I am trying to use WebDav in order to edit other types of documents (Others than office apps). I have installed the server side plugin and the client side plugins, but I have no idea how to enable any sort of edit button in WEBCON that would trigger the WebDav App. I have tried the demo in this website: https://www.webdavserver.com/ and works, but that only confirms that I have the client side plugins installed correctly. Thanks!

The SDK connects to a SOAP endpoint. The client responsible for establishing the connection is located in a separate library(net standard 2.0).

Task is assigned via business rule. Later in the same workflow, after a conditional gateway, there is another task step with an identical configuration. However, this task proce (...)
