(...) d the ability to zoom in on details for damage assessments. To prevent these images from unnecessarily taking up space in the workflow history, we came up with the idea of transferring them to the attachment s section instead. Since no further processing was required - the images were purely for documentation - this was a suitable solution. The file names of the images could be derived from the values sto (...)
(...) f multiple child workflow instances gathering those documents can be annoying. Especially if you need to do this for all cases in a specific time frame. But there's an easy solution to get all attachment s in one .zip file. I've covered the implementation here. While WEBCON BPS 2025 R2 has a new report field, this isn't used. I've came up with the idea in a 2022 R1 environme (...)

(...) 4, 2025 ; Unfortunately, there are no built-in features to convert images to PDF, but an action to convert HTML files to PDF. So I built an automation where I passed in the ID of the attachment I wanted to convert to a PDF. I used the following steps for the conversion.

External content by Daniel Krüger; May 16, 2026; The original post has appeared on daniels-notes.de Deleting an attachment in WEBCON BPS through the portal or an automation only flags the record as deleted.

(...) Good morning, How to disable showing attachment s from a specific workflow in search results?
(...) By having a copy of a external file as attachment instead of only having a link to it, we can take advantage of the great preview functionality. How ever, having copies of a file increase the risk of having multiple versions and loosing track of the relevant document. In my case, we have customers who wants to link to files in SharePoint and other dms. So I'm wondering, how you guys solve this challenge. (...)
(...) Hi, When we use reports with SOLR we have easy access to attachment 's, but not always is good to see them all.

(...) I try to read/load in an xml-file in the Webcon application about the attachment section. Then I build myself a choice picker, where I can chose the selected file. After that I want to run an SDK action, where I get the data from my xml-file. In my code I implemented something but the file path is static at the moment and compares the file names. Normally every read in file gets an ID in the databa (...)
(...) Hello, I hope you can help with this! I need to guarantee that a file in the attachment s is checked-in (so the version will be different than 1) before moving the workflow to the next step. In the validation form, I don't have the attachment s system so that I can construct a query to verify this. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you!
(...) Hi, a user just tried to search for a word through all documents in a report via the report's search panel, using the "Search in attachment s" option. As the hitlist was way too small I got called. I found out that the result only includes instances that have the searched term somewhere in the metadata. If i do a global search I get hundreds of hits - so the documents are properly indexed, and can be foun (...)
(...) It would be great to be able to pass any attachment id to the 'show first attachment on page load', e.g. via sql query editor.
(...) Hi, I have a project where I can't save attachment in a webcon database storage(becouse of company policies). I am looking for a solution to store attachment s on network drive. Is there possibility to change localization of attachment ? May be some workaround? Some action, rule, ect? I thought about action which will create a folder on shared drive and webcon form will show information to user where t (...)
We have a supporting workflow which is being started via hot-folder. The name of the attached file is then being analysed (we have a naming convention) and based on the attributes we want to move the file to a target workflow elements. Is there a way to do this via standard actions? I've struggled to find one and we might be required to create a sdk action to copy the file.
(...) Is there a way to do a little more modification to the attachment s portion of a form? We'd like all attachment s, email msgs included to be shown on the first tab. Failing that, hiding the first 2 tabs and only showing the "all attachment s" tab.
(...) Hi, I have a problem with using the function "Edit file" for Word attachment (see picture). I work as an administrator, and I have all rights. Best regards, Grzegorz
(...) Dear all is possible to set that the attachment s area will be default collapsed when opening the form?
(...) One of the flows I've built for NPI has alot of attachment s and some are rather large. Users have asked if there is any status indicator for ongoing attachment uploads so they can know when it is complete. Does this functionality exist? If not, is there an enhancements list I could add it to or upvote? Thanks!
(...) Several of our workflows have multiple attachment s that are usually quite large, some can range up to 100MB for a single file. I would be nice to have a progress indicator of attachment uploads so our users could be sure that the file actually finishes uploading and doesn't leave the site prematurely.
