Hi everyone, we received again the request to add an outgoing mail as an attachment. I know that we are not alone with it and the current workaround is, that the mail is also send to a mailbox which is watched by the HotMailBoxes functionality. Having a configuration option on the "Send custom notification" to define, whether the mail should be added as an attachment to the current workflow instance would simplify this greatly. It would even be better, if this isn't a simple check box (...)

Hi, it would be nice to see the following improvements, when using groups in item lists: - Option to define the default value whether they should be collapsed or expanded. Similar to groups. Rendering the groups only would improve performance. - If totals are rendered, it would be great to define whether they should be rendered below the group or in the header. The later one would reduce the used space greatly. - Define whether we need an overall total. In case of groups, they may not be h (...)

Hi, it's currently not possible to define translations for the selected columns. While the default translations are used for process fields, there's no way to define a translation for a calculated or a system column. It would be great to define those on BPS Internal view level, so that there's only one source. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, I'm currently upgrading from 2023 to 2026 and noticed/remembered, that I can select a hidden report in a report tile (1) but these are not available in case of a navigation grid element (2). Current version 2026.1.2.91 Btw. what did you do with the version numbers. The second part is now the hot refresh version and what is the meaning of the third one? Best regards, Daniel

Add support for shorthand date entry in date fields. For example, allow users to type 030626 and have the system automatically interpret it as 03/06/2026 (or the appropriate date format based on locale settings).

Hello, it would be great if there was an option that shows where WEBCON user groups are used similar to what we have for form fields and business/for rules. Also, an option to add description similar to office 365 groups. Thank you

It would be great to have some more actions to be used for additional attachment menu actions. What i'm missing most, is the usage of the hyperlink action, which would give the possibility to start a new workflow. Of course, the attachment-id must be available for the configuration of the hyperlink action.

Currently, when clicking an attachment either the preview is displayed or the document is being downloaded, which is fine if the element is in view mode. However, in edit mode, it would be great to have the possibility to configure the whether the document should be opened to be edited or as preview/download. Idealy, this would be a business rule, which returns the default action. By having this possibility, we could open a word document in edit mode and and other documents as preview/dow (...)

It would be very helpful and useful to give users the ability to sort attachments at the individual user level (not the entire process) and save these settings so that after exiting a case, attachments remain according to the user's individual preferences. Currently, attachments are sorted by date added throughout the system, but some users need alphabetical sorting with the option to change the attachment name. We use in the company WEBCON BPS PORTAL Version2025.2.1.259. Please consider impleme (...)

It would be great to be able to create or use a custom source on report. The problem arises every time we want to visualize data from different processes on a single chart. In such cases, the default sources are limited to system data only. It is not possible to physically connect logically related data. Our case is a little more complex. We have long-term tasks, connected hierarchically, whose progress is recorded in lists of items within the tasks themselves. We want to show a chart (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

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) (...)

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 (...)

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

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 (...)

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

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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)
