Hi, unfortunatelly global "objects" (business rules, form rules, constants, automations) have no app binding functionality as data sources have. Some global constants, business or form rules and automations may contain critical data (e.g. api tokens) that should not be useable by all devs with studio access. An option to set an object as protected and enabling an app binding to allow the usage would solve this matter. Default would be same behavior as it is now. If a dev wants to protect t (...)
Hi, I would like to suggest adding a line jump (or bridge) feature for crossing paths in Workflow Designer (at least for the Web versions). Currently, when two lines intersect without a jump, it often creates ambiguity. Users cannot easily distinguish whether the lines are simply crossing or if there is a logical junction or which path goes to which step without hovering over the path. Incorporating line jumps would significantly enhance visual clarity and prevent misinterpretation of proc (...)
Hi, it would be nice if todos would be improved. Right now it’s just a simple textfield and a structure needs to be done by the devs. Suggestions: - Thread style - Automatic timestamp and author for each message - Cascading replies to message - Notifications when a reply to an own message has been created - Same for notes in WF Designer. If notes are seen as todos it would be better to switch to todos and incorporate those notes in the todo list too These improvements would be real (...)
Hi, it would be an improvement, if we would have additional column to put a documentation why a specific field was mapped to an ExtensionAttribute. It would be even better, if we would have some kind of "Usages" tab, to locate where a specific extension attribute is used but this would be way more complicated than an additional documentation field: It should be possible to set this documentation even for extension attributes which are not mapped. This is especially useful for partners. (...)
Hi, it would be great, if the comment (WFD_Description) would be extended with step name in which the comment has been added. Maybe the information could be stored in the format: STPID#DefaultLabel$$DE$$Translated Label" This would allow us to select the correct label if we are parsing the comment ourself. Best regards, Daniel
Hi, if there's only a single view, the view selection can be hidden. It hints that there are more views, while there are none. This is confusing. In addition, you don't need to provide a name /translation for the view which, in these cases, are the same as the title of the report. Best regards, Daniel
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'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
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
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 (...)
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 (...)
💡 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. (...)
Dear Community, It would be genuinely helpful if we could configure Hotmailbox to work with Google Workspace mailboxes. At the moment, only Exchange (Microsoft 365) mailboxes are supported. Given that WEBCON already supports login via Google accounts, extending this compatibility to mailbox integration would be a natural and valuable next step.
Hi, audit topic regarding reading the form and downloading the attachment 1. Save information about who read the form after reading it - this is not about displaying the task because it is available 2. Who downloaded the attachment from the form The ability to enable, for example, specific processes that are subject to the audit process.
Could you please extend the BPS group with an optional email field? Reason: By having an email field for the BPS group, it would be possible to send the email to a group mail box, rather than to every user.
Hi everyone! What do you think about adding a customization option on the home page, e.g., to support, so that every user would immediately know where to report information related to a problem? Additionally, if it were possible to add “Useful links” on the left side of the navigation bar, I think it would be very helpful for system users.
Please verify the possibility of adding calculated columns to the dictionary data source. Regards,
Hi, it would be great if in the section Data sources of the Designer Studio all entries (authentications, connections and all types of data sources) could also have group containers as they exist e.g. for form/business rules. Flat lists miss structure and having more and more entries lead a bit to confusion. The only way to get structure is having a really good naming convention right now - what is always a good idea to have. ;) Kind Regards
Adding the option to describe BPS groups when creating them from the administrator panel and editing the description would certainly facilitate knowledge about the use and purpose of the group.
Hi, when entering a workflow -> Main form -> Attachments section there is an option called 'Related attachments'. This is really useful since it allows displaying attachments from sub-workflows/parent workflows or via SQL and it can save a lot of disk space. The issue is that the related attachments don't appear in the same tab as standard attachments. Users, unless they are aware of the second tab, usually don't even check it and may miss some files. This issue, besides related attachments, a (...)
