Regardless of the (...)

Hi everyone, does anyone has an idea, how to create a timeout for existing instances? The workflow waits in a system step until the date of the timeout execution is reached. Unfortunately the insert condition was wrong, so all instances will wait there forever. One option would be to define an invisible path, which leads to the same step to trigger the timeout again. I don't like this approach.

Hello, I'm trying to start a subworkflow from an item list. My item list will have the candidate for Positions and it will not be filled at the same time, each time there's a candidate for an offer, the user creates a row. To start my subworkflow I'm using as conditions having the candidate name as not null and a flag set to true and i'm using this as an execution condition with the following

Hello there, we are using a tablet pc at the reception counter for our digital 'guest check-in' process. It's just a seperate Dashboard with a report displaying the current check-in step. We are using the "Auto Refresher" for getting the latest check-in data. Our problem now is, that the smallest interval (1min) is still to long, the maximum value good enough would be 30 sec, otherwise the gues

Hi everyone, I'm currently creating quite a lot of "validate form" actions. For example: - Date one must be after date two - Date must be in the future - Integer value must be positive These are implemented as "validate form" action since I prefer validation on the server rather than on the client only. The draw back is, that it's a poor usability. So I "recreate" the same validations as form r

Hello, I personally like immediate validation – right after the user checks/selects/enters something on the form - much better than validation on an action. So usually I validate fields “on value change” and set the field error if necessary. Currently I use a js-function like this to showing/remove the error message (form display mode: Modern on BPS portal): function showError(columnName, hi

Hi everyone, I noticed on version 2022.1.2.31 that it can take a really long time to populate the target field of choice field, if the data source is a web service data source. In this case the data source is a REST data source and the picker field is of type popup search. Once I activated the diagnostic mode I noticed that after getting the picker results (1) the chosen value is validate

I have a scenario where i need to get a variable amount of CSV files as attachments into a running process instance. The problem is that these CSV files are created by an outside system and can only be identified by the path in which they are stored and the creation date of the file. I can find these files with a PowerShell action but i have no clue how to add them as attachments to my workflow.

Hi, I had a "task" workflow with a due date and this due date was used in a timeout in a start step. At a later point in time it was decided that a "save draft" path should be added which won't validate the form. Using this path failed with "unknown exception" and the diagnostic log did not contain any hint that this was related to the timeout. Everything was fine except that there was the bel

Hello, in the "Absences" application I have two processes: Employee file, Holiday request. I wanted to ask you, how do you organize data sources for such a process? 1. Should the source of data be an employee's file with a list of items that reflects holiday leave limits? In this case, each submitted application should update the parent workflow (Employee file), but I am afraid that over

There are two date fields in our workflow. To pass the process to the next workflow step, we use an action "on timeout". Checking for a date field works. However, we need a condition for the timeout that takes both date fields into account: If date field 2 is non-empty take this date for the timeout, otherwise take date 1 for the timeout. Can this be implemented with an "on timeout" action

Every WebCon BPS Applications needs permissions to work properly. Of course best practices is to use groups: WebCon BPS, Active Directory, SharePoint ones. It is worth to some have naming convention for them. It is also crucial to know which are used within the specific Application. We can dig into the BPS Studio and check Application, Process, Worfklow, Document Types permissions. We can chec

Hi everyone, I'm wondering what would be the best approach for the following use case. There may be between 300 and 500 active claim workflow instances. The costs for these claims are tracked in the ERP system. The total of the costs needs to be in the claim, so that it can be used in reports. Challenges: 1. I can only use REST for retrieving the costs 2. The ERP system supports webhooks

Hi, if a data row/ data table is based on a BPS internal view to configure, whether the names/translations of the columns should be used. The default value should be true. It's just a waste of time to not only provide the translations the first time but also to update these when the name/translation of the referenced column changes. Most of the time it's forgotten anyway. Best regards
