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 (...)
Hi, Is there a possibility to configure exchange integration actions - create/update calendar event so it creates Teams meeting? Or only option is Microsoft Graph? Or some powershell? Do you have any examples of that? Best Regards, Dominik
Hello, I would like to make a suggestion or find solution for branding case. We got customized White Template (as a copy) + we customized coloring of navigation sections by global CSS (setup in System settings in BPS Studio). Result is visible in the attached screenshots. Such coloring works fine for light templates, but not for dark one. And I thought that Additional CSS per template would be a nice feature in the product. And as workaround for now - could you please give me a hint how (...)
While I greatly appreciate the functionalities and flexibility provided by the WEBCON BPS mobile application, many of us find ourselves predominantly using WEBCON BPS on desktop computers due to the nature of our workflows and the complex tasks we perform. However, the mobile application's interface and functionalities do not always translate seamlessly to desktop usage, where the majority of our work occurs. The addition of PWA support would bridge this gap significantly by offering a number (...)
In the 2023 version, we have the ability to generate QR codes for each element. The mobile application has introduced a search by QR codes, which is very useful. I miss the ability to add QR codes to document prints from Webcon. It could look similar to adding barcodes in document templates. Thanks to this, a person who receives a printed document could easily find the right element in the Webcon system by scanning the QR code.
Hello everyone, I have a question. We are migrating Webcon to version 2023. I checked the table [dbo].[AdminAPILogs], and since the last version in 2022, there hasn't been a single log in this table. Has anything changed in the new versions, and do I need to turn on logging into this table somewhere? I have been looking for an answer on the Webcon website and Google, but I haven't found anything
Hi, I'm sorry, if this a duplicate, but I'm not sure if I added it already or maybe someone else. If selecting a value of a choose field from a data source throws and this causes an error, it's not easily possible to see the actual "request" which was used to get the data. There are ways around this: - In case of SQL and you have access to the server you could activate the SQL profiler - In case of rest/soap requests you could add an http interceptor which can be used as a proxy. I (...)
Hi, we have the option to create "child sources", by defining a superior source and a business entity. This way we can use different connections. https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/ConnectionsAndDataSource/DataSources/DataSource_RestWebService#3-superior-source This way we can use different connection for the "same" data source. This works fine for reading data. When we want to write data so, it's not so easy any more. For example the "invoke REST Web service" will allow se (...)
It would be useful to be able to group the data in the itemlist at the column level and on the main form. Currently, we can group at the level of each step, but sometimes when we have many steps, it would be more useful to be able to set it just on the main form. Thanks, Raluca
Hello Everyone, We have some challenges with Archiving in Webcon BPS, so we have some ideas to improve. 1. Issue: you cannot setup field availibility for archived instances Proposal: there could be a 3rd form editor like standard/mobile form have. Or/and additional field matrix setting controlling visibility on archive form. 2. Issue: Instance level privileges are not inherited to archived instances. It is a problem as we have readonly permissions granted based on instance attrib (...)
Hello everyone, I've got a use case, where users want to make a specific path always redirect them to a specific dashboard. Right now, the returnurl parameter is built dynamically, and we (developers) don't have almost any possibilities to change that behavior (we can create our custom links, so there is some). In most cases it will work like that IF user opened element from the dashboard, but that's not always the case. I'm thinking about 'override returnurl' option on specific path - som (...)
Would be nice to be able to have an action that creates a plain text file from a value programmed similarly to a business rule. This would be useful when creating input for bank transfers and possibly other applicatins that accept plain text file as an input.
One feature, useful especially during debugging would be the ability to disable lines in form rules (let's say by some toggle n the right of the line alowing to either disable or enable this line).
Hi, I'm finally taking the time to add this user voice. I think it was in BPS 2020 or 2021 where the option was added that a constant in a business rule would be displayed in the format Group:Constant (1). Right clicking on the name of the constant would show a context menu with all constants in this group (2). This was similar to the one which is displayed if you right click on the choose field to switch from ID to Name. Can we get it back please. :) Best regards, Daniel
Hi everyone, it would really be great if we could have the option to check in a business rule whether the edit mode is active. Currently we can check for: - Admin mode - Mobile device - Share mode At the moment I'm using a combination of business rule and form rule to hide /show an element which is confusing. An alternative or maybe an even better option would be to provide a rule /function with checks, whether a user has edit privileges. Best regards, Daniel
Hi everyone, I just received a response in a ticket and the rich text contained a link to an attachment. I've never thought about this, but I really like this. In this context it would be great, if the context menu auf an attachment would have a function to copy the link of the attachment. Another cool feature in the rich text editor would be to add a link using the existing attachments. Best regards, Daniel
1. child of child focus .... I don't know how you, but for me is extremely annoying fact that I can't move one widow of "configuration" next other one and change focus and then modify what I need ... I need close all windows jump to other attribute open window open window open windo and then change something .... I would like to have open 2 windows separately [now I open 2x Design Studio, where 1st is for editing, 2nd if for "to see more ... " So I would like to have option to: - simpl (...)
Hello everyone, I've encountered too many times situation, where i need to make really subtle change in application, to fix some kind of error/bug. Changes so small like: * Add column on a report * Update filter on picker field * Update filter on report * Check 'wizard mode' on path * Reorder paths * and other fixes requiring less than 5 minutes of work in designer studio... Going through whole DEV/TEST/PROD workflow is overkill for those, and waiting 2+ weeks for making that change (...)
Hello, in the 2023.1.3.29 version, we have apparently identified a reproducible bug. In our case we are using a text field to store a time value. The goal is for this to automatically replace a period ('.') with a colon (':') after input (Style and behavior). The error occurs when we attempt to replace every period ('.') with another character using STRING REPLACE, specifically in the case of "15.00" where we want to replace each period ('.'). Instead of just replacing the periods, ALL (...)
Now there are 3 circles showing new tasks, all taks and overdue tasks. In my environment there are tasks that should be marked as postponed - some tasks should be separated from the normal ones, as users intentionally know they will do some task in the future, but don't want to mix these tasks with the current ones. There could be an action that would mark a task as postponed and another one marking as normal. I know that this can be achieved with a variable and grouping, but users like the task (...)
