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
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 diff
Hi community! I have to implement a choice field (Autocomplete or Popup), whose results should be dependent of the following: 1. Current step 2. If second choice field is selected, it should narrow down the results from a subquery (Item list) First of all Webcon doesn't accept a DECLARE statement in the first line of a custom datasource based on 'Current BPS connection'. A workaround her
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 possi
I searched the site and found the latest post on AAD from 2021, and only one request for help with EntraID... Nobody seems to have a problem with this? Or maybe no one uses WebCon without local domains? Impossible! So... How to build WebCon BPS with EntraID as the only source of identity? I have some ideas for preparing some business processes in a cloud environment (Azure) that will neve
Hi all! Maybe I didn't read the manual carefully and maybe this question has been asked many times before, but I am asking it anyway ;-) Is there a way in Webcon BPS Portal to start a workflow with anonymous access (without authentication)? What we need here is some kind of public form for new registration of users. This form also should have path authorization, to verify a new registered
Hi everyone, maybe someone of you has a guess what we can do. - We have an environment with 6 content databases - We have a process which manages the members of a BPS group. - We use the Add/Remove single user to BPS groups to add a single user in synchronous mode (1) - Even so the action times out after 50 seconds it's marked as completed successfully in the history (2) - The duration o
Hi, I'm currently upgrading processes from 2022 to WEBCON BPS 2024 and encountered another unexpected change. Both "Start a subworkflow" actions "now" verify whether a field is visible. While in one case I didn't declare two fields as visible in the start step I have a visibility restriction in another. Since the visibility restriction of uses the 'Source' field value (1), which is set by
(...) Unfortunately I can't use as source "bps user s" and I need to change source to "AD Users". The bps user s have 100 users but AD Users have 300 users In both sources I need name of Manager. I use item list with dropdown list with Autocomplete when source id bps user is fine but if I switch to AD Users then I would like to column "manager" but it give me: CN=John Doe,OU=Users,OU=Employ (...)
Dear Community, I’ve come up with an idea to enhance how we schedule maintenance service windows in WEBCON BPS. What if we introduced the ability to set maintenance periods (either ad-hoc or recurring) directly within the system (in Studio or on website in Admin area)? This would allow users to see a notification on their WEBCON BPS homepage, informing them of upcoming scheduled maintenance.
(...) Hi Everyone! In the WEBCON environment we use, it is not possible to synchronize users with local AD. However, we want and can use AD to authenticate users. So we added our WEBCON users as bps user s. In the bps user synchronization configuration we have set: Synchronization source = None and in the system configuration Authentication Providers = Windows Active Directory. Once completed, all bps user (...)
(...) I have Item list [slave]with column where I can pick people (from other item list [master] which contain 1. bps user s, 2. AD users (some of them are in bps user s - not all) and others - people out of AD and BPS. 1. I would like to run sub flow for each row of item list (done) 2. fill proper data (done) 3. assign to people from item list [slave] : a) assign to all bps user s and skip non bps user s and (...)
Hello Community, I’m reaching out for help with an issue we encountered while integrating WEBCON BPS with AAD. In this instance of WEBCON BPS, we’re using Azure Active Directory for both authentication and user list synchronization. Our goal is to manage AAD directly from WEBCON BPS. According to the documentation, we need to enable Active Directory Actions Configuration. However, regardles
(...) Please let me know if the application supports the SCIM protocol for "synchronizing the bps user list with Azure"? I'm asking because I want to introduce SSO login, but in the Azure organization I can't enter permissions: Microsoft Graph Application Group.Read.All Microsoft Graph Application User.Export.All Microsoft Graph Application Directory.Read.All I understand that NOT granting such permi (...)
Good morning, After updating BPS to version 2023.1.3.240, we encountered an issue in our production environment. The problem concerns an SDK add-in that enables sending XML data to MSMQ queues. We needed to update this add-in because, starting with version 2023, the methods were changed to asynchronous. The add-in relies on an external DLL file, Experimental.System.Messaging. To include t
Hi, I think it would be great if we could switch from the BPS Portal to the user's account and check what he sees on the form and reports. The system and business (global) administrator would have such privileges. From the BPS Portal level, he could use the icon to switch to any user's account (administrative mode). Sometimes data source values are filtered and there is no way to see what the
Hi everyone, I'm working on a project using Webcon BPS and I'm trying to track specific user activities within the platform in order to comply with GDPR. Specifically, I need to log every time a user: 1. Opens an instance or document in order to access data, regardless if they've seen it before or not 2. Prints a document Has anyone tackled a similar requirement before? If so, I would re
Hi, I'd like to build SQL query that uses 'current BPS database' and at the same time uses linked server that exists on that server. So I want to do sth like that: Select * from BPS_Content.dbo.WFElements t1 left join [my_linked_server].[database].[schema].[my_table] t2 on t1.id = t2.id Unfortunately it doesnt work. I got an error in Webcon Studio "Access to the remote server is denied b
Dear Webcon Team, I would like to kindly request the addition of a feature that would allow centralized management of the Webcon Mobile App configuration across multiple iOS and Android devices using a configuration file distributed through MDM Intune. This functionality would apply specifically to the WEBCON BPS 2022 mobile application. This feature would greatly enhance the deployment and m
