Form fields

In WEBCON BPS 2020, it is now possible to display form field in groups horizontally. This option is available only in the MODERN form. To be able to horizontally display the form fields in groups, go to the group configuration and check the “Horizontal arrangement of form fields in group” option. After checking this option, the fields in groups will be displayed horizontally.

In the WEBCON BPS 2020 version, the application reports have been expanded with the ability to display data from an Item list form field. In the report configuration, you can add columns of the selected item list – data from only one item list can be presented at one time. f the item list will display multiple rows on the report, the values of the other normal form fields displayed in the same report will be replicated for each row. The ability to add columns of the item list is exclusive to Table reports.

This articlle presents the maximum number of various types of form fields (limit per process) and the maximum number of various types of item list columns (limit per item list).

WEBCON BPS platform allows you to manage business processes in multinational and multilingual environments. Particular parts of the form were designed in such a way, that you can provide translations to any language that is used by the users while creating the workflow.

From version 2019.1.2 on multilingual choice fields are complimentary to forms created with multilingual usage in mind. This functionality allows you to define choice dictionaries so that the text displayed in them is coherent with a language in which the form is presented to the user.

The Choice field” form field is used for selecting a value from a set list of choices (either predefined, or loaded from a data source). Until now, there were two ways of selecting these values: from a drop-down menu (default) and through a separate “SharePoint picker” pop-up window (this option allows multiple values to be selected). Version 8.3 adds a new option to the list of Choice field behaviors: Autocomplete.

The Google Map form field allows us to place a map on the form with point marked on it. There is a limit however, to 3 such form fields per process.

The Advanced configuration of the Google Map field contains 3 variants. The point on the map can be set based on:

Coordinates – Enter the latitude and longitude divided by a “#” sign.
Address – Enter the address of where you want the mark to be placed.
Address (dynamic) – Use an SQL query, which will return an address, which will be marked on the map.
