Hello everyone, My Tasks is pretty popular view among users at my company, but i'm getting more and more often questions if i could change the way it works. I really like the default feature, and wouldn't change it, but I've an idea that we could have an 'Selected Element Viewer' control in the Dashboard. I even prepared some PoC - you can check it out here: https://portal.webconbps.com/db/1/app/479/dashboards/75 Selecting item from the report on left, will update the view on the right. (...)
Hi everyone, the current option to generate word documents with the Word AddIn is great for a lot of use cases. We did a little PoC and we noticed that we could cover even more if there would be a "power user" option. The generation used the Aspose library which supports a template syntax. This allows to write code inside the word document to generate more sophisticated documents. Examples: - Instead of rendering item list/ data tables as tables in word we could generate "chapters" (...)
Functionalities like import/export applications, update plugin-packages and the generation of process documentations are only available within Designer Studio. Doing things manually tend to end up in inconsistencies. E.g. when packaging a new release, we might forget to update the documentation. Not sure what's best / easier, extending the rest api or making the functions available in a cmd line tool. Functions to nice to be automated: - Import/export of applications - Import/export o (...)
This would be a great option if the attachment could be moved to the indicated item id on the action. Currently, there is an option only to move an attachment from the indicated element to the current one (the one on which the action is) i.e. "copy from", but if it were possible to move an attachment from the current one (the one on which the action is) to the indicated one "copy to" this would solve problems in situations where we need to use a timeout to copy something. An example would be (...)
Hi, from time to time we have the use case that an item list row may not be delete under specific circumstances by the user. Currently there's no easy way to prevent this. One option could be to display "virtual" columns for these actions in the item list, so that one could make use of the existing functionality "column edit restriction". With this we could define whether the action should be displayed for this row like it is possible to define whether a cell is editable or not. Best re (...)
Hi, As for now you have 3 options in Item List: add rows, update rows, and replace rows. But there is no option to delete row. It would be really handy especially if there are some flaws in process and some rows on item list that shouldn't be there. Now if you want to delete them by action you have to use Replace Values option with SQL Query that returns only rows, that you want to leave in the form, so other rows are going to be deleted. The problem is that every row is deleted and than rows f (...)
Hi everyone, with the advent of BPS 2022 during the save/path transition of an workflow instance it will be checked, whether the latest version of a process matches the version whit which the instance has been retrieved. If you save the process in Designer Studio it will get a new version and you have to reload the page. You can no longer execute paths or even save the workflow instance. While I can understand the intention, it just annoys me because it slows down the development/testing: (...)
Hi everyone, it would be great if we would have an additional option to the "wizard mode". The implementation of the wizard mode always displays the current workflow upon path transition. At least I have quite often the situation, that I need a "conditional wizard mode". This means, that the wizard mode depends on the new assigned person. If it's the same person as the current one, the workflow needs to be executed in a wizard mode. In all other cases it's not executed in a wizard mode. O (...)
Hi everyone, maybe I have a wrong idea how a multi value picker field is used in filters/groups in reports. Current situation: The picker field will store the selected values in the order they have been chosen. If you use this field as a group, every unique "string" will be used as a group. Example: Workflow instance 1: IT: Research & Development Workflow instance 2: IT: Research & Development;Quality Management Workflow instance 3: IT: Research & Development;Quality Managem (...)
It would be great having an additional field "Description" for local groups.
It would be nice if there were the following changes to the form rule alerts/confirmation functions: a) Modal dialog They could reuse the modal dialog from the "single row edit" instead of using the browser integrated alert/confirmation window. This would result in a more consistent user experience. Of course it would be nice to set title, body and button texts but I would be fine with setting the body at least. :) b) Allowing html for the body. Currently adding line breaks is cluttering the fo (...)
Is it possible that the window in Designer Studio for adding/edit user group has a flexible [Users] field and a locked [Group owners] field size. The opposite of now. There are usually more users than owners ;) Additionally it would be good if the users were also sorted alphabetically. Regards,
options: 1. Few words in 1 word [new] and then use word to pdf [done] 2. Few graphics files in pdf [new] 3. few PDFs in 1 PDF [new]
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 (...)
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, 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
I believe it would be useful to allow "tagging" people (example - @jaroslaw) in comments section. After such a mention, the person would get a notification with a link to the workflow. What do you think?
The last "under review" entry is from Mai 2022, so i post this request just another time. It would be such a great advantage, if you would at a "delete row(s)" function to WEBCON Action templates. Thanks, Bjoern
It would be nice to have the ability to delete (or hide) the System Dashboard from the left menu.
Hi, I really like the new option that an user can authenticate himself against an arbitrary authentication provider. Like in most cases this is true for this feature, if you provide a new one there will be immediately questions asking for more. :) For those who don't know what I'm talking about you an search the change log for 2021 R3 for 'Authentication request endpoints'. In my case it's the following: When I click on the sign in button (1) the server will read the configured endpoint (2) a (...)
