RESOLVED - Report coloring compare two fields

1 1

Hello everyone, I’m trying to set the color of the cell in a report based on a comparison between the current field (AttDateTime1) and another column (AttDateTe4). It works if I compare the CurrentField to a fixed value. As soon as I try with the other field name, it doesn’t work anymore. Is it even possible to have such comparison? Thank you, Martin

Merging PDFs as an action in process

Hi, I downloaded the Teams add-in installer from our Webcon portal and uploaded the custom app as per instructions here https://howto.webcon.com/installation-of-webcon-bps-add-in-form-ms-teams/ However, when I attempt to open the app or add it as a tab to a channel, everything is blank (see screenshot). Any ideas? Best regards

Hyperlinks in Item lists

1 1

While trying to cope with problematic hyperlinks to different items in one item list row, I came up with a solution that might come in handy. Explanation: The item list contains one key choice field ("Symbol") which is configured to populate several other fields in the list. Among the populated fields are "Przypisane komórki (BPS)", "Przypisane garaże (BPS)", "Przypisane miejsca postojowe (BPS)" - these are choice fields in read only control mode (technical fields actually). There are rules (...)

Using Designer Studio 2022 in SQL mode

1 2

Hi community! Since the new version (2022) of Designer Studio has obviously changed its default behaviour to using REST mode, I am wondering if there is any command line parameter (or something else) to start Designer Studio in good old SQL mode. I did not find any documentation on how to do that. Any inputs? Thanks a lot in advance & best regards, Nik

Start a process from a dictionary

1 2

I have a dictionary process containing some appartments, and another process where you make reservations. I would like to do one thing - let's say you are browsing the appartments list and when you find the right one, you want to make the reservation right from the appartment form. At the moment to do this I first need to click "edit", then a menu button with the relevant action appears which I can click and all works as planned. I also made a javascript button which invokes the action from the (...)

Get link of generated attachment in form

We would like to show the link of a generated attachment (from Word-AddIn) instead of showing the whole attachment element. Implementing the link into a HTML element is no problem, but is there a option to "grab" the link to the attachment file? Thanks in advance :)

Executing a form rule via JavaScript in all environments

1 0

Hi everyone, experienced BPS Designers will remember a time when form rules didn't have an 'Edit mode', where you could select JavaScript or Form rule. You only had JavaScript. :) In the meantime the 'Form rule' option has been added an the JavaScript mode gets little attention, if at all. But how can you do some of the 'Form rule' actions with pure JavaScript? If you click on the "Show" button in the expression preview you will the JavaScript representing the graphic rules. In my case I want (...)

Timeout during deleting instances

1 6

Hello everyone! I have a trouble during deleting instances - i always get timeout after 30 seconds. Is there any way to make the system button faster or to increase timeout time? I didnt find anything in webcon configurations unfortunately. I dont think it is a version problem since deleting on test environment works just fine. Edit: I just managed to get the same problem on test environment. Best Regars Kamil Górski

Now we have 2 machines: 1. One machine that has a freshly installed Webcon connected to the restored database machine 2. One machine that has the restored database The issue (...)

On Time Out Action & REST call

1 4

Hello community! Maybe this is a very basic question, but I am asking it anyway ;-) I tried out OnTimeOut action, but after some experiments it is very unclear to me, how this is expected to work. I added one time out action with Type: Minute, Interval (minutes): 1, Repetition count: Infinite and 1 action below which basically changes the value of a single field. My expectation was, that this field change should happen on every workflow element every minute, but this didn't happen. What di (...)

Standard Function "Attachments count" does not work any longer in 2021.1.4.55 on Start - Step

1 4

Dear WebCon Team, we just updated to 2021.1.4.55 and recognized, that the so long working function "Attachments Count" does not work properly any longer on the intital step of a workflow as long there is no Instance ID. For Example I would like to validate if there is an attachment uploaded or not (see picture). If I do a path on the step itself --> Instance ID --> the rule works fine!!! I think it is a bug. Thanks a lot

SQL statement to verify that all actions are logged

1 0

Hi everyone, I just stumbled about an action which executions hasn't been logged. The reason is simple, the according checkbox wasn't ticked. If you want to verify that all you actions are logged you can run this SQL statement. It displays all actions which aren't logged. Maybe for a reason or due to some misconfiguration: SELECT AGR_Name, APP_Name, DEF_Name, WF_Name, STP_Name, ACT_Name FROM [dbo].[WFActions] actions join WFSteps on ACT_STPID = STP_ID join WorkFlows on STP_WFID = WF_ (...)

replicating an absence process with more vac types and absence chart

1 0

Hi there the absence-wizard seems to be the only way to generate an absence-process in webcon. the datasource for vact-types is seemingly hardcoded. I cannot change the dropdown, delete it, nor change the system connection to add more types. if I add a new dropdown and simply hide the provided one, the data does not go where it´s supposed to go because it is not transparent where the data is written or how the absence-process figures out at what data to look. if someone has replicated / self (...)
