The article discusses 3 variants for transferring WEBCON BPS databases to a different SQL server. Each variant consists in transferring data bases by creating backups, transferring them to a new server, and their recreation on a new SQL instance.

From version 2021.1.3.163 onwards WEBCON BPS offers a variable returning information whether a form is opened in the mobile app. This information can be used within the created form rules to adapt its view to the mobile app specification. The variable’s name is “Is this a mobile device?” and it works only within the “WEBCON BPS” mobile app.

Why you should keep the Compatibility Level for WEBCON BPS databases at 120 – which corresponds to SQL Server 2014.

When using Google Identity and Microsoft Office desktop products, it is currently not possible to edit attachments directly from the form on WEBCON BPS Portal.

In WEBCON BPS, it is possible to personalize the appearance of the platform by changing the logo and color theme of the website. To be able to modify a color theme, a user must have appropriate privileges which are granted in WEBCON BPS Designer Studio. In the System configuration -> Global parameters -> Global privileges in the System administrators window, add the appropriate users.

From WEBCON BPS 2022.1.1, the lowest supported SQL Server is 2014. In the case of WEBCON BPS installations using the higher versions of SQL Server, WEBCON BPS databases work with the compatibility level set to SQL Server 2014 by default. Changing the compatibility level from SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2019 is possible, but you need to disable the TSQL_SCALAR_UDF_INLINING (Scalar UDF Inlining) option. This option is enabled by default when changing the compatibility level to SQL Server 2019.

The WEBCON BPS 2022 version introduces a new For each operator, which allows you to configure an action, operation, or automation for each element from the selected collection. The operator iterates over the collection elements, which can be an item list, any data source, attachments added to the workflow instance, and any collection defined as a business rule.

Setting the requiredness of form fields (or item list columns) depending on changes in values made in other fields is one of the most frequently used functionality of the WEBCON BPS system. In the previous version of the system, such a configuration required the developer to perform configuration activities in several system places. From version 2021.1.4.36, new built-in functions have been enhanced to WEBCON BPS. These functions are used to set the requiredness of fields on the form. They allow you to configure the form in terms of dynamic setting mandatory fields to be completed.
