WEBCON BPS allows you to generate/update Word documents (e.g. invoices, contracts) based on a template with the application parameters inserted, and – if necessary, convert them to PDF format. To do this, you need a special Word add-in to be downloaded from WEBCON BPS Portal. The next step is to connect this add-in to the BPS server – go to the WEBCON BPS tab (in Word), click the “User settings” option, enter the server URL and click the “Connect” button. The actions of generating documents allows for wide parametrization and automatization of manual filling in documents. When you need only the PDF file, the good solution is to use the Delete attachment action (placed behind the action of PDF generating).

You can use the “Change form type” action, which allows you to change the type of the form you are currently working on. This action is available only for the Menu button trigger. An example workflow for registering contracts has been created. Access to individual contracts depends on the confidentiality level, which can be changed.

In WEBCON BPS, it is possible to limit the types of attachments that can be added to workflow instances due to their type and size. This option can be used to block the ability to add potentially dangerous attachments to the Portal such as scripts, executables, spreadsheets with macros. The restriction will be set globally for all applications/processes and all places where you can add an attachment – forms, HotFolders, HotMailBoxes, API. When specifying the attachment’s size – remember that the IIS server setting is the overriding limitation on the size of the added file.

Workflow control (Branch) allows to redirect a workflow instance along a selected path. With the help of the workflow control step, we can among other things: set the logic of skipping steps, assign a task to other people, (e.g. in the case of approval) or withhold instances in step until the conditions are met.
