Reports

WEBCON BPS Portal is a platform that is the central point of the system for end users and contains all information about available applications. One of the advantages of the Portal is the standardization and consistency of the interface between multiple applications. It serves as an application platform for the users, giving them easy access to business applications they need. Also, it helps the people who configure processes, significantly reducing the time of their preparation. This article describes one of the standard elements of the Portal – the “Suggested dashboards and reports” widget.

In the latest version of WEBCON BPS, the report coloring has been enhanced for additional functionalities (a description of the basic report coloring modes can be found here). There is the ability to go through a path without having to view the specific instance – just click on a properly configured cell. This configuration also allows you to set the cell style, as well as special display functions. An example that presents the advanced functionality of reports coloring is the process of listing stored products (e.g. bicycle models). Each workflow instance represents a warehouse with the serial numbers of its products.

In WEBCON BPS 2020 a new functionality of reporting archived instances has been added. In the report configuration of WEBCON BPS Portal and BPS internal view type source, the option to indicate an archived database as a source for the report has been added. The above functionality gives the opportunity to view the report itself. However, if a user does not have the privilege to any of the archived instances, an empty report will be displayed.

The report coloring functionality allows users to enhance the visual presentation of data by adding colors, icons, and shading to cells, as well as creating advanced configurations using conditional instructions. When editing a report, a “Style” column appears in the “Views” tab. Clicking the pencil icon next to a column opens a window where one of four coloring modes can be selected: Data Bar, Color Scale, Conditions, and Advanced.
