Hi, In my opinion, the biggest advantage of BPS data sources is the ability to link to a selected element. However, the disadvantage is much lower performance in advanced conditions, inability to join data, use union, and combine data from different content databases. By changing the source from BPS to SQL, users lose the functionality of the link. Of course, we can achieve this in a different way, but it is not consistent, for example, with other pickers using a BPS source. Would it (...)
In the 2023 version, we have the ability to generate QR codes for each element. The mobile application has introduced a search by QR codes, which is very useful. I miss the ability to add QR codes to document prints from Webcon. It could look similar to adding barcodes in document templates. Thanks to this, a person who receives a printed document could easily find the right element in the Webcon system by scanning the QR code.
Hi, I'm sorry, if this a duplicate, but I'm not sure if I added it already or maybe someone else. If selecting a value of a choose field from a data source throws and this causes an error, it's not easily possible to see the actual "request" which was used to get the data. There are ways around this: - In case of SQL and you have access to the server you could activate the SQL profiler - In case of rest/soap requests you could add an http interceptor which can be used as a proxy. I (...)
Hi, we have the option to create "child sources", by defining a superior source and a business entity. This way we can use different connections. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/ConnectionsAndDataSource/DataSources/DataSource_RestWebService#3-superior-source This way we can use different connection for the "same" data source. This works fine for reading data. When we want to write data so, it's not so easy any more. For example the "invoke REST Web service" will allow se (...)
Hi everyone, it would really be great if we could have the option to check in a business rule whether the edit mode is active. Currently we can check for: - Admin mode - Mobile device - Share mode At the moment I'm using a combination of business rule and form rule to hide /show an element which is confusing. An alternative or maybe an even better option would be to provide a rule /function with checks, whether a user has edit privileges. Best regards, Daniel
HI everyone, Since I've started using Date Time picker in applications I'm always confused when using that Time control part. Most of the time I'm pressing Today instead of Close (and i can see same happens for other users), and it's frustrating that i can't type in the hour/minutes with keyboard. 'Today' could be changed to 'Now' - as we are in context of time, and 'Close' would be more readable as 'Confirm'. Pressing arrows with increment of 1 is not great :) I know it is possible (...)
Hi, OpenID connect is missing custom additional url parameters management functionality. This is required for some auth providers processing definition (e.g. Auth0 - flow automatization, login customization). More information https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-basic-1_0.html#RequestParameters.
It would make sense if newly added form fields to a group of fields would inherit form types assignment from the group. Now, if you assign a group to let's say one of 3 available form types, when you add a form field to this group, it is automatically assigned to all 3 form fields, with no inheritance.
Hi A useful option would be to add the ability to set the horizontal layout of attributes directly in the tab. The same as now it is possible in the group of form fields. Regards.
It would be very useful from the users' point of view to add the ability to change the order/position rows of the item list by dragging. Regards
Hi It would be useful in the form rule to have the ability to make a comment mandatory. We have cases where, depending on certain selected values, we need a mandatory comment. Thanks, Raluca
Hi, if a data row/ data table is based on a BPS internal view to configure, whether the names/translations of the columns should be used. The default value should be true. It's just a waste of time to not only provide the translations the first time but also to update these when the name/translation of the referenced column changes. Most of the time it's forgotten anyway. Best regards, Daniel
Hello, We recently started to take better care of translating our applications in our native language as well as English. This way our clients will have a more professional experience. Even if we have everything translated, the preview that we see is in the language used for naming the steps/paths initially. It would be a nice touch if the language of the preview would be the same as the language selected in the users settings. Obviously, if a path/step has missing translations, the defau (...)
Hi, It would be nice if we also had fields of the time type. Some clients need to record, for example, the time of arrival and the time of departure, and this is not possible through standard fields. Thanks, Raluca
Hi, it would be great if the "Download all attachments" would always be visible. At the moment it is only visible if: - There are at least two attachments - "Add and edit" is allowed It would be even better if the "Download all attachments" would reflect the currently displayed attachments. Current, Email or All Attachments. Best regards, Daniel
Hi There are some knowledge base articles where figures are not correctly displayed e.g. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-picture-form-field/32 https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/wfelementdetails-table-description/34 and more. Could you please correct it? I tried various browsers, the results have been the same.
Hello, Right now when selecting the date for date&time picker system by default setup the time for 00:00. If we want to change the time e.g. to 7:00 and double click the "00", enter "7" system says that format date is inpropper. We have to add 0 prefix to hour "7", so it is "07". It is one more click + one more typing. Allowing format h:mm or even h:m would be ergonomy enhancement for faster entering the date & time data :) Best Regards, Dominik
Hello! I think it would be a really good idea to be able to copy projects within Designer Desk. Currently, after exporting a project to Designer Studio, we lose all the work that could be used in the future.
Hi, In Webcon, it is possible to make modifications to the form at the step level. When the "break settings inheritance" option is activated, these modifications apply only to that specific step. For a more visual experience, it would be nice to highlight these steps in the flow, similar to how steps containing "on entry" or "on exit" actions are highlighted. Thanks, Raluca
Hello, it would be nice to have in donut and pie charts "category" label in popup that matches the legend (beside series name). With a large number of categories, it is difficult to distinguish colors on chart and popup contains only series name. The label was displayed in the 2021 versions and is still displayed in bar chart. Please consider adding it.
