We recently had a presentation of WEBCON BPS for a new customer. They came up with the question if not only changes of an element are being kept in history, but also views. So we need to define the definition, what as to be considered as a view. Sometimes you can tell a lot from what you see on a report already, but keeping track of this would be too much in my opinion. The easiest and most pragmatic way to keep track of views would be opening a preview or of course a form. Maybe also viewin (...)
When adding or updating elements via Rest Api, for picker fields it is required to provide Id and name. Quite often the name is known, but not the id. As picker fields are usually based on datasources, it would by great, when the api would be extended with methods to query datasources. There should be at least two methods: 1) getting a list of all available datasources (overall / by application) 2) query a datasource with a filter. To make it easier, the filter should be passed in as query s (...)
WEBCON BPS reporting offers great functionality for sorting, filtering. It would great having the option to implement and configure a SDK extension for reports, which would allow to execute an action based on the current selection. In my case the SDK extension would receive the selected rows with all fields and generate an advanced Pdf report. Like configuring the mass action, there should be an option to configure the SDK action. Like picking the right extension, title and maybe an icon. Som (...)
Quick Manual should be entry point, to see quick manual right now user must enter form to start process first. The order shall be the other way: first read manual, later start process.
Hi, no idea about the future plans for the portal, but you should definitely consider adding some more functions, like: - user defined left menu - pages, not just dashboards - option to turn off the default dashboard - dashboard HTML element should have some kind of HTML editor, not just a narrow window for code pasting. It's hard to make any changes without copy/paste to external editor - dashboard text element is too narrow, it should be resizable ! Almost impossible to edit large amount of (...)
Can you please add an option to encrypt fields, and user configure who can decrypt ? Why ? Becouse, in some business appliactions, administrators not always should be able to see some confidential information send in BPS forms. Senders should decide.
In new versions o WebCon BPS using Word templates are now using GUID identifier witch enables using it's in all environments. But the functionality o Word templates are very simple. It's now enough flexible for control conditions for hide, show etc. information's. For example: You can not show header of table, but empty row is always. In HTML you can control this. Adding using GUID in HTML templates give the more flexible possibility to build templates witch information
Hi guys, I've I some suggestions for the task management process : 1. Add reminders configuration for tasks * possibility to define reminder templates:list of reminders: WHO, WHEN, MESSAGE, channel (email, sms, other ?) * you can attach reminder templates to each type of tasks (workflow steps) 2. Add escalation configuration for tasks * possibility to define escalation actions. Good to define escalation templates, list of: WHEN, WHO (roles, managers), MESSAGE, CHANNEL you can attach escalatio (...)
Whenever I create a new step in the designer studio, I need to add a path too. The only steps which don't need at least one path are the final paths, which may have already been created by the wizard. So it would save a little bit of time for everyone if there would already be a path. :) Daniel
Hi, please make the flow control icon smaller (or resizable). Its huge - compared to the rest of the step-icons (see picture) Thanks!
Hi, I suggest a new feature that supports to duplicate an existing dashboard with all its content, data sources, configurations ... Sometimes dashboards get bigger and bigger and it can be necessary to have a new more abstract dashboard that contains less widgets e.g. With a duplicate it would be much more efficient to just delete the unnecessary widgets instead of creating all stuff from scratch. Kind regards Sébastien
It will we useful to have the possibility to mark a task as flagged, programmatically based on a business rule, at the moment of task creation. (For example If n a process a user marks a contract as Urgent, in a Helpdesk Application a user marks a ticket as Critical, etc. when sending in next step/assigning to other user that user task should appear as flagged) Reason for this request: As higher in hierarchy a manager is, as more probable that he will have tasks from many applications / process (...)
Hi, is it possible to change dynamically every year the date in a constant, so that I won't have to change it manually? Thanks in advance for your informations. Monica
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 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 (...)
Hi, is it possible to add a Data Source selection in the Add attachment action configuration?
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.
💡 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. (...)
It would be great to have the possibility to move the Attachments and Comments sections inside a tab. This would make the forms much cleaner and better organized, especially in more complex workflows.
Hi, Is there a chance to add alternative way of filtering data on reports based on text fields rather than filtering specific values? It's quicker for user to enter directly search phrase rather than choosing from list, even filtered values (sometimes user have to check multiple options that meet search phrase). Additionally it skips one sql query used for generating list of values in filter. It could be defined on report parameters or available to switch by the user.
