For a customer we need ISO week numbers integrated into the date picker feature. Sales managers schedule promotions with forecasts, which they need to transfer to demand planners. This process relies heavily on identifying the correct week number. Currently, they have to open Outlook to cross-reference week numbers with corresponding dates, which is time-consuming and disrupts their workflow. Feature Request: ISO Week Number Display: Include ISO week numbers (ISO-8601) in the date picker i (...)
I already posted my idea in 2022 (26.09.2022: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2230), but i have a new project in August, where such a feature would be nice. I have some ideas for a plugin (as far as I remeber, a problem is the DPI from the Signature field being higher than of picture fields) -> Wouldn't that be a nice new feature? 26.09.2022: ======== Hello WEBCON, we are working on a prototype to document defects. Therefore, we would like to use a new kind of form field: (...)
Version 2023.1.3.29 A few weeks ago, I encountered a problem with a GLOBAL ACTION (on start cyclic) in an older process. It stopped working (unfortunately, I do not have a screenshot of the error message). Restarting did not resolve the issue. I noticed that the execution count had reached 65,536. Even after stopping and restarting (which reset the count to 0), it still didn't work. I had to create a new GLOBAL ACTION, deactivate the old one, and then everything worked fine again. Sinc (...)
Dear WEBCON Team, I would like to propose a new feature to enhance social interactions within WEBCON BPS: the ability to tag other users in the comments field. This would function similarly to tagging features on popular social media platforms, allowing users to directly mention and engage with colleagues within the platform. Additionally, it would be highly beneficial to receive alerts when someone tags you in a comment. This notification system would ensure that important mentions are no (...)
Hi, in my latest post I wanted to link to a header of an knowledge base post. Unfortunately, there's no option to create a link pointing to a header like this one: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/translations#bps-portal Therefore I had to write: Search for the term "Using the application and Edit mode" in the linked post, to see how it is done. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/from-prototype-to-production-deployed-application-edit-mode-in-webcon-bps-portal/381/3 It would b (...)
Hi, could we please get an option to define whether we want to set a choose field or only the id of the choose field? See the attachment as one example. I have an item list with a drop down and a fixed sql statement with multilingual values. Assigning the id to the column in a for each loop does not resolve the display name and the "id" value is treated as the display name. The "solution" aka workaround is to set the id and display name. That's *beep beep beep beep*. Could we pl (...)
Hi, it would really be great, to always see the menu bar, so that you don't have to scroll all the way up to save a dashboard. Ok, maybe it's just us who have long dashboards, as we added some CSS/JS so that report tiles float left. This way, we can have more tiles in one row while they take up less space. Best regards, Daniel
Generating a Word document, converting to a Pdf and deleting the Word afterwards, so the result is a Pdf only, are often used document generation steps. Unfortunately, it is not possible to overwrite an existing Pdf when converting a Word document to Pdf. So we usually have to delete the original, but I would prefer having an updated than a new Pdf. I would wish there was an option like the Mode in the "Generate/Update a Word file" to select whether to update an existing file or to create (...)
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, It would be useful if we could configure the SDK with values from local parameters. Sometimes we need to send a specific value, for example: a value from an item list or a calculated value, and it is easier and more efficient to save the value in local parameters from an automation rather than saving the value in a physical field. (Usually, these values are needed temporarily and it is not necessary to save them in a field). Another example : When we create a sdk type business rule an (...)
Hi, It would be useful if we could collapse the attachments in the 'All attachments' tab by categories. When we use the 'related attachments' feature, there are many attachments, and it would be helpful if we could collapse all the attachments by categories or just the 'Current' category." Thanks, Raluca
Hi, From an administrator's point of view, it would be very helpful to add the ability to add global automation error handling. By this I mean the ability to enable such an option in the global configuration and, for example, add an email notification action about automation errors in the context of the whole system. In the email it would be possible to use process/step variables and specify the recipients. Such a configuration would work in addition to, and independently of, other err (...)
Hi, Currently we have 'Error occured' in the header of the validation message. This often results in unnecessary logging of error reports from users who do not read the content, but only suggest that there is an error. Perhaps it would be a good idea to change the content of the header to something else that does not suggest an error, or allow it to be defined per action or globally? Regards.
Hi, in my opinion it would be great, if the Archive view /explore/all could be configured on a global level in Designer Studio. Maybe as a BPS internal view. This would allow us to define the system and global fields which are available for every process. For example I really would like to have the option to see/sort/filter the modified date and business entity which is currently not possible. I'm writing this post right now because I just received again a "bug" description without a (...)
Hi, The change consists of changing the default configuration that is created when the timeout action is added to a step. Default settings are interval 1 minute, number of repetitions: infinite number. If we forget to change this setting, it causes unnecessary and large number of versions, calls to action, etc. to be generated. It will be safer if the default option is : number of repetitions: 1 Regards
Dear Webcon, are you planning to give us a new Report model (in the data presentation) that allows us to use our own/independent SQL?
I have Actions on path ... Generate Word Convert Word to PDF Delete attachment (docx) or more ... demands Appears during process ... I would like to select 1.2.3 Actions (right click save as automation) .. not like now i can do 1 to 1 .... or ... I could do Automation with 1 operation then pick it in "path" and then edit it and add more actions ... Maybe I'm wrong, but I do first actions, then merge them into one [automation] not revers [do Automation then maybe or not add mo (...)
I don't know how is in Webcon 2023 or next 2024 but in 2022 I miss groups in Automation and then add groups in picking ...

Hi, The idea is to always default to connections to the current database. Now if we have defined others, some others are often substituted by default, which is irritating :) Regards.
