Forms

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.

One of the many novelties introduced in WEBCON BPS 2019 is a refreshed look and an alternative form display mode – Modern mode. Form display method can be set independently for each process. It makes migration of processes implemented in previous WEBCON BPS versions much easier and helps to manage which content should be presented in the new way. WEBCON BPS 2019 provides a refined (but familiar!) experience in visual, ergonomic, and performance departments. Forms that were implemented in previous versions of WEBCON BPS can be presented in the ‘Classic’ SharePoint mode, as well as embedded in WEBCON BPS Portal in Modern mode.

One of the most important development changes in WEBCON BPS platform in version 2019 is the introduction of a new presentation layer for the user – WEBCON BPS Portal. To complement this functionality, in environments working on the MS SharePoint platform, you can display WEBCON BPS Portal presentation elements directly on SharePoint websites using dedicated Web Parts: WEBCON Modern Web Parts. WEBCON Modern Web Parts is one of the platform’s installation components, it is in the default package for every installation type.

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.
