(...) ystem using dedicated actions.   The “Start a subworkflow” action The action allows you to start a workflow within the same application. By using them you can start only one workflow instance – in this case it will be creating an additional task in the Design process.   The action configuration consists of three tabs: Basic: In the configuration you must fill in: (...)

For some actions, executing them again once the workflow instance s passes through the trigger one more time will make perfect sense – for others, it will not (e.g. an action that is meant to be triggered once per workflow, regardless of what steps it goes thr (...)

Applies to version 2017.1   WEBCON BPS gives a wide range of possibilities when it comes to assigning tasks. Tasks for users can be created based on the value of a form field, SQL/CAML query, directly indicating the users/groups or by selecting one of the predefined options. This article describes the predefined options of task assignment, which does a lot of workflo

Applies to version: 2020.1.x and above; author: Marcin Pisarek   Introduction In WEBCON BPS the individual steps require tasks to be performed by a specific user or group of users. The appropriate design of a process and the correct assignment of tasks can improve the performance of daily duties, document processing and company management. The article describes the idea of assig

Applies to version: 2020.1.x and above; author: Paweł Drab   When creating large and complex processes, problems with workflows becoming too complicated can often appear, which can be problematic especially for end-users. To check if our process requires reconstruction and simplification, we recommend making an audit of such workflow.   Why should we do a workflow audit?

Applies to version: 2020.1.x and above; author: Urszula Słupik   Introduction Each WEBCON BPS workflow is a sequence of steps. On intermediate steps, there are usually tasks that must be completed by a user (or a group of users) before the instance may progress to the next step.   The tasks can be assigned in different ways: Based on the logic of the busine

A random sample of data is selected for the process, based on current and historical instance values (for each workflow instance , form type and step), and then rules are created which encompass the most common (covering over 75% of cases) values or ranges of values for all numerical and categorical fields. Moreover, depende (...)

Some time may pass between entering a value into the system by the user (via saving some data on the form) and creating a new index in the SOLR database for the updated workflow instance . It depends on: server load and the number of instances in the queue – the more instances must be processed, the more time it will take to update the last instance in the queue. In practice, if (...)

The speed of creating/updating sub-workflows depends on many factors such as the type of the form, the amount of data/actions/rules, the speed of response from external sources, se (...)
