Hi, in global actions a cyclical timer has a checkbox „Active“ and timer’s automations have no „Active“ checkbox here. In the step‘s actions settings timers have no „Active“ checkbox and automations have an „Active“ checkbox - inside and outside of timers. In the Process Configuration > Automations there is no „Active“ checkbox. I suggest to add „Active“ checkboxes consistently in all occurrences of timers and automations. Kind regards, Sébastien
Hi, if a field group has a description text the text only gets displayed on mouse hover in a tooltip. There is no (i) icon as for e.g. a single value form field. I suggest to display the description text of a field group inline under its name - the same way as it is with data table field or as it can be handled for item lists. There are two checkboxes for "Show form field name" and "Show form field description". This would be great to have in the advanced configuration of a field group. (...)
Hi, I suggest to add a new selection for workflows in "Administration tools > Delete workflow instances from process". Right now only a process can be selected and all its workflow instances get deleted. An additional workflow picker would make possible to delete only the instances of this specific workflow. Kind regards, Sébastien
Currently, when opening the "Data" tab within the "Update related workflow item" action, all field sections are collapsed by default. To review or edit existing mappings, developers must manually expand every single section or rely on memory to recall where mappings were configured. Suggestion: Automatically expand sections that contain active field mappings upon entering the "Data" tab, while keeping unmapped sections collapsed. Key Benefits: - Faster Maintenance & Debugging: Devel (...)
Hi, currently, when a process is reimported into an environment, Delegation Mode is reset to its default value under Configuration > Notifications. This can easily be overlooked during deployments. If administrators forget to manually re-enable Delegation Mode after every import, unintended notification emails may be sent to real users. I suggest handling Delegation Mode the same way as User Privileges: * Preserve the existing environment-specific value by default. * Add an explicit (...)
In a process containing multiple form types, attachment categories may be required only for selected form types. Currently, the optional attachment attribute used for categorization is configured at the process level. Its data source can return different values depending on the current form type. However, when the data source returns no categories, WEBCON still displays the “Select attachment category” dialog with “[None]” as the only available option. This introduces an unnecessary step in th (...)
Hi, We currently rely on export/import mechanisms for bulk updates, and they work well. However, a customer recently asked for a SharePoint-like Quick Edit experience, and I realized I would have benefited from the same feature myself just last week. Even for experienced users, being able to update multiple records directly in a report would be faster and more convenient than switching to an export/import process. A report-based Grid View with inline editing, copy & paste, and bulk updates wo (...)
Hi, it would be very helpful if the "Availability Restriction on Reports" setting in the "General" path configuration could support Business Rules in addition to the existing user picker. A practical use case is a Save Draft" path where the workflow instance is assigned to the current user = author without validation. In this scenario, the instance should only be visible in reports to the author or a WEBCON administrator until it is moved to a next step. With Business Rules, this logic (...)
Hi, it would really if we could create inline "data sources" for the running mode `Get data from data source` if the source is a SQL database. Reasons: - It would be similar to data tables, where you can write your own SQL, so the user experience will be similar - We don't bloat the SQL data sources, if this source is only used in a single case. - While SQL server does a great job on improving queries, there will be times, where the `predicate push down` which moves the filters from th (...)
Hi, the default data source `<Users and Groups>` currently appears to have a direct impact on the `CacheOrganizationStructure`. This behavior is unexpected and can lead to severe administrative issues. The **User List Synchronization Configuration** already provides an **Advanced** tab where synchronization filters can be defined. Because of this, it is not obvious why additional filters configured on the default `<Users and Groups>` data source also affect the synchronized user and group (...)
Would it be possible to add a simplified view option via a button on the top bar that would display a different view of the form? This could work similarly to the OCR preview, where I could select which modules to hide—for example, attachments and comments. An example from my own experience is the invoice verification process. Users suggested that it would be helpful to be able to collapse the view using a button on the top bar, just as they can do during the OCR verification step, where the p (...)
Hi, it would be very helpful to have a centralized path name picker in WEBCON BPS. Instead of naming each workflow path manually and independently, devs could select predefined path names from a central configuration, for example: * Close * Cancel * Save * Approve * Reject * Send back * Forward * Archive Each predefined path name should also allow translations and assigning a default path color. For example: * Cancel → red * Save → green * Close → grey * Approve → gre (...)
Hi, I suggest to provide Concierge as Microsoft Copilot agent and a Concierge interface to be embeddable via an iFrame, so that it can be seamlessly integrated into corporate intranets, portals. This would enable organizations to provide a unified user experience, make Concierge more accessible within existing digital workplaces, and support a wider range of use cases without requiring users to switch between applications. Benefits: * Easy integration into intranet portals and dashboar (...)
Hi, it would be nice, if I could omit the element id in the "GET" request of a 'Action on a workflow instance' running mode. This would be more similar to other APIs and it wouldn't make it necessary to create a separate 'Get data from data source' endpoint. If OData support / paging would be added to this running mode, it would be even better. UDA: OData support https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8661/15 UDA: Add paging to 'Get data from data source' https://community.webc (...)
Hi, it would be nice to move API definitions of the running modes 'Get data from data source' and 'Execution mode'. These are running outside the context of a workflow/process anyway and while you are going through multiple iterations you may want to consolidate these. Ok, there may be references to business rules / automations which may prevent these, but that would be something which could be checked and the user could be informed that this isn't supported in the current version. Best (...)
Hi, I tried various approaches to return an actual NULL value via Execute Automation, this wasn't possible. Instead these are default values: Text: "" Decimal: 0 Boolean: false DateTime: 0001-01-01T00:00:00 https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-defined-api-part-4-execute-automation#no-null-values If I would ask an AI, whether I could use WEBCON for a specific use case, and it uses the Exceute Automation endpoint, it will get "false" even if the use case hasn't been defined. B (...)
Hi, in my version (2026.1.6.198) there are a few limitations: - There are no time zone information. This applies to all running modes and even if I just use a Execute Automation and return an incoming date time value, the information is lost. https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-defined-api-part-4-execute-automation#time-zones-are-lost If I would have a unit test, this would fail. If a travel agency send me the departure time of a flight, the user will see a completely diff (...)
Hi, it would really be helpful if OData support could be added to the 'Get data from data source' running mode. This would allow to add custom filtering on addition to the one configured in WEBCON. Best regards, Daniel
Hi, the result of a 'Get data from data source' UDA is limited to a 1000 records. I can understand the reasoning but implementing a custom paging option for each endpoint is cumbersome. It would be great, if this would be handled by WEBCON. I'm currently using one of these approaches: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-defined-api-part-2-get-data-from-data-sources#simple-paging-for-99-of-cases https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-defined-api-part-2-get-data-from-data-sources#c (...)
Hi, while I can image that there are currently higher priority tasks than improving the change control (change history) it could be a low hanging fruit to offer a small dialog in which we can store two/three fields which will then be saved in the database with all changes. For example, this would allow us to store a. Azure DevOps User story id and task id and maybe define it or change or bug. I would be fine with having simple text fields other may put there Confluence Epics or whatever. (...)
