Hi, it when the "Incorrect rule configuration" name is thrown, it would really help, if the name object would include the parent object. I currently get this error: Incorrect rule configuration for object "Site". This got me really confused because there wasn't any rule on the field. In the end I found another "Site" which is a column in an item list. Incorrect rule configuration for object "Target sites: Site". Best regards, Daniel

We love the inbuilt analytics features. The give us the opportunity to take a quick look whats going on. Especially for smaller Applications the Advanced Analytics Framework is very useful. Currently a user needs at least the role "Business Administrator". But we do not want to give this high-level access rights (change / delete workflows) to our analysts (department manager, process manager, ....) So a dedicated Role "Analytics" (in combination with read all instances) would be very helpf (...)

Hi, it would be great if an option is added to exclude processes from the analytics overview. I tried to "remove" those by entering a date far in the future for this flag: Limit the scope of analytics data – parameter is used to limit the scope of processed data available in the Analytics reports. If this option is activated, all measures of analytical reports will not be calculated for workflow instances created before the given date. It didn't have any effect. This new flag would ha (...)

It would be nice, if the default sorting would be "as it is configured in the workflow" instead of alpha-sort. See also here: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7461 Thanks & kind regards Ernst

Hi, it would be great if one could use nested application groups instead of a flat list. This way one could create e.g. a group for HR division and 2 child groups for apps for internal (only HR employees) or external (all employees) usage. A hierarchy with three levels should be sufficient. This concept could also be applied for all other objects where groups exist as global form/business rules, data sources, connections, … Kind Regards, Sébastien

Hi, we use the app vsb.actions from vsb/smoodi and would like to give the name another name for internal use because we don't like to use names of vendors for products/services. We now could change the app name in the Designer Studio and with each update of vsb.actions that we import in Studio we would have to rename the app name. It would be nice if there could be an option to set a configurable display name for apps that get displayed in the portal. This way one could use the app vsb.con (...)

Currently, such data sources do not return the system company information, which limits their usability. The lack of this functionality forces users to manually retrieve data using SQL queries, which contradicts the Low-Code platform's principles.

Hi, when using e.g. Invoke REST web service action and using optional form fields as input parameters in the body there is a problem if a form field is empty. The REST call returns BadRequest (400) because of a syntax error. That’s because WEBCON doesn’t set anything in the body. Depending of the chosen body type it would be great if WEBCON would automatically set the correct string. E.g. null if JSON is chosen. Right now one has to set all attribute values in quotes to prevent this and (...)

Hi everyone, We have a workflow, where a lot of attachments are being passed around departments, in this case it's over 10 files, but there are some outliers with even 30. With this workflow we've also implemented a 'copy form' functionality, which creates new instance with filled in data and copied attachments. The thing is, sometimes in the copy of the document we only need 20 from those 30 files, and manually removing 10 of them takes some time. Could we maybe get some checkboxes near (...)

Hi, could we please get a user friendly error message like: No licenses are assigned to you (someone@example.com) please inform your system administrators (List of the users who can assign licenses). Best regards, Daniel

Hi, in BPS 2024 an option was added to the license that customers can use SDKs provided by partners without an SDK license. This is made possible by providing the public key which is then somehow integrated to the license. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to also integrate the WEBCON and partner Microsoft Entra Id domain names. During the license check for the current user, it could be checked whether the current user is a guest account _and_ belongs to such a domain. If this is (...)

Hi, I just noticed, that the "Uniform view of all item list cells" check box has been removed. It's not the case that I wanted to activate it, but I wanted to deactivate it. The reason for this is, that the uniform can take up way more space than a mixed one. Especially if there's a multi line column. According to the documentation it should be there but it does neither exist in the UI nor in the XML configuration in version 2025.1.1.105. I assume that in this case the documentation was (...)

Hi, once upon a time (version) there had been an option to migrate user accounts. This had been build in to the Designer Studio and there was also a stored procedure. It would really be great if the this functionality could be restored. While we have access to old database where the stored procedure still exists, new customers don't have this option. When they rename their domain for various reasons, they are stuck. Best regards, Daniel

At the moment default serch mode for Value filter in reports is set as "Starts". It would be very handy to let decide Admin what defaul search mode is set for a specyfic atribute (Starts or Contains).

For performance reasons, it would be very useful to allow the configuration of the search mode per source data column in pickers. This would enable more efficient searching by letting users explicitly define the most appropriate search mode for each column, leading to faster data retrieval and an overall better experience. Backward compatibility example: The current setting in the Picker tab would still define the default search mode. After migrating to a newer version of WEBCON BPS that sup (...)

Currently, “Add privileges ” and “Remove privileges ” actions cannot be used in cyclic actions Adding the ability to use this action could help cyclic action to check item permissions and remove them.

Hi. we've implemented some global form rules e.g. a developer on screen mode that displays meta data of fields (instead of turning on dev tools) - a knowledge base article will follow later. Small work in progress preview teaser in the attached screenshot. ;) Right now it is necessary to add this global form rule to all main form behavior sections manually to get this loaded. It would be great if one would have a global function in system settings like it is for global CSS for form rule (...)

Hello, since the new UI we've got much more users on the dark theme of webcon, it brought however a few new challenges with custom colors on controls / lists. At this moment we are able to set custom css styles - background/text using attribute configuration: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_StyleAndBehavior It however lacks the possibility to make the color dependant on the theme, which causes in many cases unreadable text - see attached exa (...)

Hi, while we can create business rules which act similar to table valued / scalar functions, we can't pass the columns/data to them. The inner business rules are executed before the outer SQL command is executed. This comes in really handy in a lot of cases but also has it's limitation and will require creating repetitive code. I would suggest the following: Create a new "type" "SQL function" Properties would be similar to a business rule: Name : GetFirstTextPart Description: Wil (...)

Hello, I propose a change in DEsigner Studio, in action templates. If the ability to create action groups in templates were added, it would make it easier to manage actions in the case where there are more than 10 in the process. It would then be possible to group and arrange actions thematically. Regards,
