Dictionary export: Same column sorting across environments

0 0

Hi, it would really help to compare the export of two dictionaries in different environments, if the columns would be sorted the the same way. I haven't checked it, but I assume, that it is based on the integer id of the fields. I would prefer that the columns would be sorted either by the not translated field name (WFCON_prompt) or it's GUID. this would ensure that the export will have the same column sorting across all environments which use the same application. In theory we could h (...)

Visual Indicator for Broken Inheritance on Step List and Workflow Diagram

0 0

I would like to propose a UX enhancement for the WEBCON platform: displaying the step name in red whenever inheritance is broken on the step list and also directly on the graphical Workflow diagram, in the same way this visual indicator is already used for step names in the Attribute Matrix. The goal is to improve clarity, consistency, and error prevention during process design and maintenance. 1. UI/UX consistency Red highlighting is already used to indicate broken inheritance in the Attrib (...)

Dynamic filtering possibilities for reports and dashboard datasources

0 0

Quite often we have the use case, that we need to provide a personalized dataset. With SQL data sources we do have the possibility to use calculated fields with a subquery. Which could end up with performance issues when using large datasets. As an example this calculated column returns 1 if the first letter of the COS_ExtensionAttribute05 field in the COS table matches the value of the dataset. The result can then be used to filter by <my> data. (SELECT IIF(LEFT(COS_ExtensionAttribute05, 1) (...)

Option to include inactive users in “Person or group” data source results

0 1

Hello, Currently, data sources used by this field return only active user accounts. In some business scenarios, it is necessary to allow selection of users who are no longer active (e.g., for historical reference, archival workflows, former approvers, or when completing data in legacy processes). Please consider adding a new option (checkbox) in the Advanced configuration of the “Person or group” form field [Include inactive accounts]. When selected, the field's data source should also re (...)

The Need to Extend the Webcon Designer Studio Privilege Model

0 1

The privilege-granting capabilities for application creation (within Webcon Designer Studio) should be more extensive and flexible. Let's assume two business units (departments) are using the same Webcon instance. How can proper privileges be granted within Webcon Designer Studio in this scenario? The current model of access rights appears too binary: you can either be a System Administrator with complete access to all resources, or an Application Administrator with control strictly limited t (...)

Add attachment action

Hi, is it possible to add a Data Source selection in the Add attachment action configuration?

Mark application / process as read-only

0 0

Hi, I had a case where a customer wanted to "freeze" the current state of the processes in an application. "Freeze" in this context means, that it should not be possible, to trigger any path transitions, save the instance or add new attachments. While this isn't a common situation, it may come in handy to have a support way to reach this , which doesn't require modifying the process: - Migrating from WEBCON / Carve outs - Moving a processes to an own database - High impact bugs where y (...)

Encription

0 2

I greatly appreciate the Access authorization to form fields in WEBCON BPS – it’s a much-needed and well-designed solution that all most meets our needs. Like many other organizations, we handle sensitive data that should not be stored in plain text in the SQL database. To address this, we've developed a simple SDK-based customization of a form field that displays the field value on the form, but stores it in an encrypted format in the database. Unfortunately – and to our disappointment – (...)

Task assigned to groups – preview who is in the group

5 3

Hi! It would be helpful to have the ability to preview the members of a group to which a task is assigned. Currently, when the "Assign tasks for groups directly to group members" function is enabled in the process and a task is assigned to a group, a regular user has no way of knowing who is in that group. Would it be possible to add a hint highlighting who belongs to the group or provide a redirect to such a preview?

Data sources shared between reports and dashboards

8 2

Before migration to 2025 with the new UI and 'Presentation' layer rehaul, on dashborads we could put multiple reports, and by changing the report - dashboards were automatically updated. Reports on the dashboards were just referencing regular reports. This had one major benefit - if i had a report containing 5-10 calculated columns, they were defined once, and then that report could be reused in multiple places (it required multiple views, but the data behind was declared once). After 202 (...)

Add an option to disable or selectively include company entities during application package generation

3 4

Please add a configurable option to disable the export of company entities during application package generation, as well as the ability to selectively choose which company entities should be included in the export. Currently, when moving the application between environments, the system exports and overwrites all company entities by default, which then requires manual restoration or cleanup. Providing an option to exclude company entities entirely, or to select only specific ones for export, w (...)

HTML Elements have the same CSS Id

0 1

Is there a reason why Group form fields that have the "Horizontal arrangement of form fields in group" and "Wrap fields in horizontal arrangement" fields ticked create two seperate HTML elements with the same CSS Id? This makes it more difficult to select the 2nd element due to it never being fetched with getElementbyId.

Visibility of the system button ‘save comment’, also in edit mode

3 0

Hi, It seems that the visibility of the save comment button also in the form editing mode would be more useful and understandable for users. Please consider adding this option. Regards

New Designer Desk Permission "Access to all projects"

0 0

Hi, it would be great if there would be a 4th permission column in the Designer Desk Permissions in system settings named "Access to all projects". Right now only system admins have implicit access to all projects. We would like to give access to all projects to a small group of modelling experts without giving them the role system admins that gives also access e.g. to all applications. This would solve the matter that without this permission all project creators have to share their projec (...)

Add Readonly/Readonly(js)/Required for Attachments and Comments

0 0

Attachments: Currently its only possible to "lock" Attachments in certain steps while breaking the form-inheritence. It would be great if we could have a "readonly" for Attachments in the Field-Matrix. Comments: In some cases its necessary to "lock" also Comments (but existing comments should be visible). Kind regards Ernst

SDK Extension: "Form field validation" property

1 0

Hi we have a form FormFieldExtension which overrides the method VerifySaveRestrictions. In this function we are checking whether the field is required. If the field is marked as required in the form field matrix and the users uses a path without form field validation, the IsRequired attribute returns true. While this is technically true, the deactivated form field validation would ignore the requirdness for the other fields. The current workaround is - The field is not marked as requi (...)

Add a native “Freeze instance” / “Set On Hold” function

1 1

💡 Summary Add a native “Freeze instance” / “Set On Hold” function that allows administrators (or authorized users) to pause a workflow instance — including all active sub-workflows — so that no tasks can be completed until the instance is released. 🧭 Current situation In WEBCON BPS today, there is no built-in way to temporarily freeze an instance. When a user mistakenly enters incorrect data or triggers sub-workflows, the process can move forward quickly before the error is discovered. (...)

Enhance Browser title bar naming logic for improved context awareness

2 0

Dear Community, Currently, when accessing the homepage of WEBCON BPS, the browser title bar displays the name defined in: System Settings → Global Parameters → Appearance → Portal name However, when navigating to a specific application, the title bar only shows the Application name, which can lead to ambiguity - especially when multiple portals or environments are in use. Suggested Improvement: Include the Portal name alongside the Application name in the browser title bar for better cla (...)

Action / API for deleting specific attachment versions

3 0

Hi, this user voice is related to this one: Storing deltas of attachment versions instead of full file size https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7909/15 Even so I mentioned that customers want to have all 177 versions or more, I think that we can define cases, when we could delete old versions of an attachment. As far as I know, this is not possible at the moment, we can either : Remove attachment and leave attachment’s history – the attachment is deleted from the workflow instan (...)

Storing deltas of attachment versions instead of full file size

2 0

Hi, a lot of our customers are using the WebDAV integration to modify office documents. Unfortunately, some employees don't just save the file when they are done but hit the save button quite frequently. This results in in a lot of versions and, depending on the file size, the database explodes. At the same time our customers are against deleting old versions. While I'm still waiting for the answer how they wanted to find the one version out of 170 versions, that the situation. It wo (...)
