The management of BPS groups is only possible for WEBCON Admins. Some customers wish, that they can do this on their own, but we don't wont to give the required rights. We solved this by means of a little helper workflow, that enabled us to configure the BPS group to manage, a responsible person and an itemlist with the assigned users. This works quite nice this way. However, it would be great, when this option would be built-in. Could be either in the same place as for the admin or a widget (...)
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but whenever I create a dictionary, I replace (hide) the default Description single line field with a new multi line field. Therefore I would suggest to either rename the field to "Short description" or change the default field type. I'm not sure where it's used internally so that it's disabled to change it's type. Best regards, Daniel
Hi there, this week i used "compact Start Buttons" for the first time. With our windows settings [FullHD, Text Scale 100%], e.g. the small 'g' is cut off a little bit at the buttom. It's no big issue, but a few more pixels in the next version should work perfect. Thanks, Bjoern Poller
Currently, views do not allow dynamic filtering on views for datetime and people-picker fields. It can be done by extending the query in the datasource. The datasource can only be changed by administrators and designers. For end-users it would by great having the possibility to use placeholders for filtering datetime and people-picker fields. My idea is having placeholders like [now] / [today], which would take the current datetime/date and also [me] for the current user.
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 (...)
It would be great if there would be a "Usages" options for BPS groups like it exists for the most other objects like Rules, Fields, Action Template, Data sources and so on. I'm already using two workaround 1) I created a constant for each bps group so that I can use this constant wherever possible. Unfortunately there are some cases where this is not possible. For example in a "Person or group" field where the picker is limited to a group. 2) I added the "SearchAllTables" stored procedure to (...)
Adding possibility to add SQL row as a column could be also a workaround to achieve that. Right now (BPS 2020...434) is is only possible to add instance number from system fields to mass notifications.
I have a few suggestions for improving the single row editing experience: 1. Adding a next/previous button to the modal dialog so that you can easily go through the rows. 2. No fixed height for modal dialog. The max height of 400px makes it quite hard use the modal dialog. It would be better if the available space is used. I already added a style overwrite for this. 3. If single row editing is used it would be better to display the icon on the left instead of the right side. Depending on the w (...)
Please add feature to define delay (i.e. 60 seconds) before file gets imported from HotFolder. I have a situation where scanner creates an empty file at beginning of scanning, and WEBCON gets this file before it's complete. I use script to copy files from "temp scan" folder to HotFolder, but such feature directly in WEBCON BPS could bypass this workaround. Any comments and feedback here is more than welcome :)
Hi, we have the situation, that some globals and dictionaries are shared between applications. If I export an application all other applications, which use the same dictionaries, are exported too. At least I believe that the dictionaries are the case. This applies to the current version 2020.1.3.441. Of course, I can uncheck the unrelated applications, but this is error prone. In my opinion the applications are not related, if they only share elements defined in system settings, data sources (...)
Hi, with the introduction of BPS Portal we got a few additional options were we can add "code" and where variables from the expression editor would be useful if not even mandatory. 1. Report - SQL Filter, there are a few variables there already 2. Calculated field in Reports and BPS internal view, no option to use existing variables 3. Report - advanced formatting, no options to use existing variables Why do I think that this would be mandatory? The path example of advanced colouring will ju (...)
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
Currently MS Powerpoint presentations are not searchable. I'm sure, our client would not be the only one who would appreciate if WEBCON would make PowerPoint presetations searchable like the other Office documents.
Hi, when using global constants in the global email template the reference is done with the IDs instead of the GUID. By this it‘s not possible to just copy & paste the HTML code to other environments without having to replace all occurrences of those references. Therefore I suggest to use GUIDs instead of IDs. Having global business rules for the email template would be great too. Kind regards Sébastien
Currently, when an email is sent to users with different profile languages, WEBCON splits it and sends separate emails per language group. This works fine, but inside the email template there is no variable that tells what language is used for that specific group of recipients. Why it would be useful: Allows dynamic content in emails based on recipient language Makes it easier to build multilingual templates (no need for hardcoding or workarounds) Expected behavior: Add a context variab (...)
Hi, form fields in the Objects tab of the form rule editor don’t get displayed in standard mode. Only when switching to JS mode the form fields appear. In the form rule editor of a Validate form action the form fields appear in the Objects tab. More details here in the conversation with Jacek: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8410 It would be more consistent and convenient if form fields would always appear in the Objects tab of a form rule editor and the workaround by usin (...)
Hi, it would be great having some more operator functions in a mandatory standard filter of a report and BPS internal view. There are eg EQUAL and NOT EQUAL (with the options ID and name) but this functions would be really helpfull: (NOT) CONTAINS (NOT) STARTS WITH (NOT) ENDS WITH (NOT) IN (for check of value collection) Kind regards Sébastien
Hi, the AD/Entra ID attribute personalTitle (containing Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr., Prof., …) is not part of the default user synchronisation configuration. Same for employeeId, employeeNumber, ... It would be great to add those as default attributes instead of having to map them to extension attributes. Kind regards Sébastien
Hi, if we have a process relation the mail for such a workflow will be the "primary" application. If we want to change this "primary" application, we currently need to: - Remove all presentation elements in the target application - Delete the relation in the target application - Move the process - Recreate all presentation elements This takes a lot of time. It's quicker to fiddle around in the database. But this is neither supported nor even an option in the multi-tenant SaaS. If (...)
Hi, if a path leads to an intermediate step the path must have a selected task assignment in the „Task creation“ tab. If it‘s missing there is a warning in the Portal and the task assignment has to be defined. This commonly occurs e.g. when a new intermediate step is added and connected with an entry path or when deleting a flow control after connecting the existing path leading to the flow control to an intermediate step. To minimize this kind of error and turn development even more effi (...)
