I suggest, that this dialog action should also be available for path transitions. Reason: for better user experience it would make sense, showing a pop-up Dialog in order to change some values rather than showing a step in wizard mode to change these values.

Working with databases for a very long time, there is an alert being triggered when i hear subquery. Using subqueries in reports usually ends up in poor performance. So strongly advise against the usage of them.

They are visible, permissions added via "Add Privileges" action are marked as "Changed by action". Check the log in the history to make sure, the action had been executed the way you intended to do.

After posting i came up with the thought of creating a custom http-module. Api requests for elements / reports would be sent to a queue and then asynchronously processed and written to the audit database by an audit app. So the impact on performance would be minimized. Maybe this is something

We are coming across scenarios, where it is required to audit the views and not only changes on an element. Ideally we would be able to configure the audit level: - View element - View attachment - Download attachment - View in report (elements retrieved and displayed on reports) - Edit ele

You can query the tables WFConfigurations and DicWFFieldTypes, e.g. SELECT Count(*) AS Count ,DicWFFieldTypes.EnglishName FROM [WFConfigurations] INNER JOIN DicWFFieldTypes ON WFCON_FieldTypeID = DicWFFieldTypes.TypeID WHERE WFCON_DEFID = 4 -- your Process id Group by DicWFFieldTy

We actually did exactly what you did and for our case it works. We are also calling the menu action from a button on a html field, which starts a new workflow and after finishing the steps (we even use wizard mode), we end up back on the form the action started. On the hyperlink action there is a

We are using a Hot-Mailbox to process incoming e-mails with a pdf attachment. The attachment is added to the instance corresponding to the barcode applied on the pdf. This works fine so far. There is now the need, that the users has to send at least one other attachment which does not have a ba

Last year the "Me"-filter for person/group fields have been introduced on reports. I would suggest, that you use a person/group field and start the workflows by setting this field with the user in your dictionary rather than trying to change the author. As long as there are no global read perm

At the moment i can't see the purpose/benefits of your approach for having different authors for each subworkflow. Assigning the first step to different users for e.g. is easier to achieve by setting a people field on workflow start and use the dynamic task assignment. Maybe you better explain w

There is no need to write an sql statement. Simply check "Overwrite instance author" and set the value from the form field and workflows are started with this users as author :)

The reporting and filter options of WEBCON BPS are already great. However we have customers who would like to have a filter "all but..." or "not" like we already have "Begins" and "Contains".

Currently Webcon BPS does not offer an action to convert pdf to pdf/a. As there is a rising request for documents in pdf/a format, it would be great having a built-in pdf to pdf/a conversion action.

Stumbled up on a similar requirement for a new bid we are working on. The requirement is, that a user can select existing attachments (pdf and office documents) and merge them all to a single pdf. Was thinking about creating a mini-workflow that can be executed in a modal dialog. Does not chan

I agree, this is somehow annoying and slows down testing/development. Suggestion: use the verification only when "Process modified by export-import mechanism" is checked

For the absence chart, i'm missing to the option to define the range of the chart. When using the absence chart in a leave request, i would like to see the range around my planned leave. Currently the user has to scroll, to see the right data. Thats why it would be great to be able to define a dyn

We will face the same challenge. We already thought about how to migrate. In 2021 BPS groups had been introduced also in integrated mode. I would do it the following way: 1. Update to the latest 2021 Version 2. Move from Sharepoint Groups to BPS Groups and stop synchronizing from Sharepoint site c

One of our customers would like to print the pdf attachment when moving to the next step. As there is no action to send a document to a printer (apart from print a barcode label), i'm wondering if anybody implemented this.

We've set up an environment without integrated authentication to the sql server. The customer's IT does not allow integrated authentication for SQL server. As long as you connect via Rest API version of the Designer Studio (the one you start via WEBCON BPS Portal), there should be no issue, because

It would be great having an additional field "Description" for local groups.
