General

The Public Forms mechanism is an interesting solution that allows you to create external forms whose main advantage is anonymity. The site built in this way communicates with WEBCON BPS via the REST standard, creating new instances in specific processes. It is important to note that the mechanism is available for free on GitHub under the MIT license.
This article focuses on the installation of Public Forms in IIS. The described scenario assumes the preparation of an external site that will allow potential clients to request contact for more detailed information. The functionality prepared in this way will be able to be embedded into the site as an IFrame.

In the standard platform configuration, the name of the machine on which the WEBCON BPS components are installed is stored in several places in the system. Among other things, it serves as the address of the license service, the Solr server, and also plays a role in the license activation process. Therefore, changing the name of the WEBCON BPS server will prevent the components from working correctly and will require configuration changes to the environment.
This article lists the steps that must be taken to ensure that the system works correctly when the application server needs to be renamed.

A documentation for setting up the App registration and an example on how to use it.

SMS notifications in WEBCON BPS are one of the methods for additional authentication of user operations, e.g. when authorizing path transition or access to confidential form data. This article provides instructions on how to configure an SMS gateway that allows sending short text messages with authorization codes from the system.

In order to facilitate the management of tasks, WEBCON BPS provides the functionality of marking tasks, also called flagging. Users can change the flags of the tasks to which they are assigned, both from the document and from a properly configured report.

Timers are elements that allow you to define the frequency with which the associated actions are performed. Thanks to them, it is possible to define the start time and the possible repetition cycle of such actions.
In WEBCON BPS 2025 R1, numerous changes and improvements have been made to the operation of Timers (previously known as Timeouts). This article describes these changes to the timer configuration and gives examples of how to calculate their start dates.

A business rule to ensure the uniqueness of a field value

Implementing a Dynamics CRM style tab layout in WEBCON. For example, one group group on the left another one on the right and an third group beneath those two across the whole form.

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) enables secure identity management and control of access to cloud resources and on-premises applications. With the integration of WEBCON BPS with Entra ID, an effective and advanced identity and access management is possible in hybrid and cloud environments.
This article covers the installation of WEBCON BPS Standalone without a local Active Directory domain. Authentication and user list retrieval are implemented using Microsoft Entra ID.

The OAuth2 authentication standard is becoming increasingly popular, as it enables integration between different systems. In many cases, the connection takes place in the API → Application model, which makes authentication much easier. In this case, a predefined set of data is used – Client ID, Client Secret, and our subsequent actions are authorized by the token received in return.
But what if it is crucial to determine the user's context? This need is answered by the OAuth2 Authentication form field, which allows the user to be authenticated before connecting to the API and performing operations. The scenario described herein presents this feature using communication between MS Graph and Microsoft Azure.
