Hi everyone, I've been working on a "to do" app and I thought that a calendar report view showing the tasks to be dane with their date would be perfect. In the calculated columns of my standard table report I have a calculated column with a red square for an overdue task and green for all the "to be done n the future" ones. Works great. I created the same for the calendar report and there is a problem - the calculated column is not visible to choose from in the dynamic coloring module (only sys (...)
Introduction I have heared that basically planning is always about three questions (three columns in Excel, three attributes on the form) - WHAT? WHO? WHEN? :) Sometimes we need an extra information/column - we can call it "Remarks", "Others" or .... COMMENT... WebCon BPS has extraordinary feature available out-of-the box without even single line of code...VERSIONING and detailed HISTORY. Such feature is really needed for admins/troubleshooting and for business analysis for single "cases" of (...)
Dear all, I am wondering if there is no option for a case-insensitive search for fieldtypes like "Autocomplete" or "Choice field". At the moment I am struggling to search for values with search mode "Contains". Unfortunately the search results differs based on beginning the search phrase with an upper or lower case. In my opinion it would be a great benefit, if there are two addtional options (as checkboxes) to fine tune the search mode. 1) Ignore Upper and lower case --> case-insensitiv (...)
Hi, it would be great if the error message : It is not possible to test a source or business rule that contains columns of an item list. Would only be displayed for the test button of the expression editor. Currently it's also displayed for the "Show" buttons which forces me to replace the variable in the SQL management studio myself. Best regards, Daniel
Let's start with a use case. I'll be working soon on a process for ordering buisness cards, which will include graphic, who is responsilbe for preparing files which are sent to printing company. On the buisness cards there should be QR code with vCard data. We want to avoid manual process of copy/pasting data between webcon and other qr generation system. Action which adds code to attachment already exists, so i can always have empty pdf file to which i'll add generated QR code, but i'm (...)
Hello! I'd like to propose new functions for item lists: 1) freezing view of the selected (first 'n') columns -> following the thread: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2603?page=1#m2610; 2) enabling (showing) / disabling (hiding) rows in the previously initialized item list -> business case: in the step after initialization we disable (or hide) all the rows except for the selected ones (preferably); after the data was entered to the required columns of a current row, that row is (...)
Hi, Is it possible to add an annual view to the calendar report? The max currently is the month view but an annual view would be beneficial. kind regards, Dean
Hello, I have a suggestion to add functionality in Webcon. While I run update process a portal not working and is no any warnings or communicates about the update process. I suggest add a simple banner for example: Update is processing / system upgrade. Anything what may tell users something more than empty site.
I think it would be appreciated by many developers, if you would add "activate"/"deactivate" on every element in the business rule / form rule / other similar places. It would make debugging much easier in many cases. Just as it is in the actions now.
Hi, I don't know when the character limit for the field multiple lines of text in item lists was added, but is it possible to change this limit? Or adding the ability to change it? The DET_LongTextX column in the database is ntext type, so is there any reason to limit the number of characters to 1000? This thread may be related - https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2366/30, and users are complaining about this limit :)
Hi, after a few years I noticed that the "Business entity" field is missing from the available columns of a dictionary. Of course, one can create a BPS Internal view to work around it, but it would be great if more "default" (system fields) could be added: - Author - Date created - Last person modifying - Date modified (not listed in the system fields) - Business Entity - Form subtype I highlighted those in the attached image. Best regards, Daniel
Dear All, In BPS 2021 with modern layout we miss functionality to copy an attached file to clipboard. There is feature for preview, download, but no copy. Earlier - with sharepoint - we used activex component, copy to clipboard worked fine. It would be really nice to get a copy feature. Or do you have any idea how to make it work? Thank you! Peter
There all always questions whether we can change the menu of an application or not. It would be great having a Customnavigtion node under the presentation node. We should be able to create two level menus with an icon and whether the link should open in same tab or a new one.
Can you add path button style options (in Global parameters - appearance) for every path color available in a workflow diagram (8 colors) ? So, changing a path color should apply corresponding button style in the path. This would greatly improve development time, in a big workflow entering path button style for every path is time consuming. Also, this will keep colors consistent between workflow diagram and the form.
Hi everyone, I noticed on version 2022.1.2.31 that it can take a really long time to populate the target field of choice field, if the data source is a web service data source. In this case the data source is a REST data source and the picker field is of type popup search. Once I activated the diagnostic mode I noticed that after getting the picker results (1) the chosen value is validated again before the target field is set. In the attached image, to which the numbers refer, this val (...)
Dear All, We have a widely used Incoming Invoice process, which manage validation and approval of digitized invoices. We use valueable feature of Attachment Preview on form to show invoice image during some validation/approval steps. (We use other feature for OCR verification) We register invoices as "Invoice" category attachment, but there can be other connecting documents. On Classis form in Sharepoint it worked perfectly, Preview showed first document (min att_id) which was always the in (...)
Hi, the „new” feature automations is very helpful, but i´ve missed the very often used option „create template”. Are you planning to reimplement this old feature to the actions and automations? Thanks and best regards Daniel
At this pointthe only way to generate multiple word documents is to create multiple actions, or if you have a dynamic number of documents, you should use subworkflows. The second solution works alright when we are talking about 2-20 documents, but (I'm not sure if all of you are aware) creating an new instance, ore moving it one step is a verry slow action and if you need to move or create 1000 instances using the default actions you will have to wait sometimes hours. Another problem is that (...)
Hi, Why is only one task created, and everything executes in it, when I execute the following code in a loop: args.TransitionInfo.TasksToAdd.Add(new WebCon.WorkFlow.SDK.Common.Model.NewTaskData(new WebCon.WorkFlow.SDK.Common.Model.UserInfo("webcon", "webcon"))); Best regards.
Hi, I have this situation: - one main workflow - 4 different subworkflows that must start in parallel and wait until all subworkflows are done. I tried with Start a subworkflow action, but works for a single subworkflow. I don't want to use hyperlink. I must enter on the subworkflow in the start step. Is possible to start different subworkflows from a main workflow with SQL? I don't have an item list. I need to define an SQL action for each subworkflow? Can I have an example? Thank (...)
