Allow management of WEBCON BPS Groups to other users than WEBCON Admins

2 2

The management of BPS groups is only possible for WEBCON Admins. Some customers wish, that they can do this on their own, but we don't wont to give the required rights. We solved this by means of a little helper workflow, that enabled us to configure the BPS group to manage, a responsible person and an itemlist with the assigned users. This works quite nice this way. However, it would be great, when this option would be built-in. Could be either in the same place as for the admin or a widget (...)

Dictionary: Changing type to multi line of field(attribute) Description

2 0

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but whenever I create a dictionary, I replace (hide) the default Description single line field with a new multi line field. Therefore I would suggest to either rename the field to "Short description" or change the default field type. I'm not sure where it's used internally so that it's disabled to change it's type. Best regards, Daniel

WEBCON 2021: Dashboard -> Compact Start Button [cuts off e.g. small 'g']

DONE 2 0

Hi there, this week i used "compact Start Buttons" for the first time. With our windows settings [FullHD, Text Scale 100%], e.g. the small 'g' is cut off a little bit at the buttom. It's no big issue, but a few more pixels in the next version should work perfect. Thanks, Bjoern Poller

SharePoint List style dynamic filtering on views

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

Currently, views do not allow dynamic filtering on views for datetime and people-picker fields. It can be done by extending the query in the datasource. The datasource can only be changed by administrators and designers. For end-users it would by great having the possibility to use placeholders for filtering datetime and people-picker fields. My idea is having placeholders like [now] / [today], which would take the current datetime/date and also [me] for the current user.

Extending the audit trail to views

2 1

We recently had a presentation of WEBCON BPS for a new customer. They came up with the question if not only changes of an element are being kept in history, but also views. So we need to define the definition, what as to be considered as a view. Sometimes you can tell a lot from what you see on a report already, but keeping track of this would be too much in my opinion. The easiest and most pragmatic way to keep track of views would be opening a preview or of course a form. Maybe also viewin (...)

"Usages" options for BPS groups

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

It would be great if there would be a "Usages" options for BPS groups like it exists for the most other objects like Rules, Fields, Action Template, Data sources and so on. I'm already using two workaround 1) I created a constant for each bps group so that I can use this constant wherever possible. Unfortunately there are some cases where this is not possible. For example in a "Person or group" field where the picker is limited to a group. 2) I added the "SearchAllTables" stored procedure to (...)

Add possibility to add step column in mass notification

IN BACKLOG 2 1

Adding possibility to add SQL row as a column could be also a workaround to achieve that. Right now (BPS 2020...434) is is only possible to add instance number from system fields to mass notifications.

Item list: Single row editing improvements

IN BACKLOG 2 1

I have a few suggestions for improving the single row editing experience: 1. Adding a next/previous button to the modal dialog so that you can easily go through the rows. 2. No fixed height for modal dialog. The max height of 400px makes it quite hard use the modal dialog. It would be better if the available space is used. I already added a style overwrite for this. 3. If single row editing is used it would be better to display the icon on the left instead of the right side. Depending on the w (...)

Delay HotHolder import of a file

UNDER REVIEW 2 0

Please add feature to define delay (i.e. 60 seconds) before file gets imported from HotFolder. I have a situation where scanner creates an empty file at beginning of scanning, and WEBCON gets this file before it's complete. I use script to copy files from "temp scan" folder to HotFolder, but such feature directly in WEBCON BPS could bypass this workaround. Any comments and feedback here is more than welcome :)

Changes to export of processes

DONE 2 0

Hi, we have the situation, that some globals and dictionaries are shared between applications. If I export an application all other applications, which use the same dictionaries, are exported too. At least I believe that the dictionaries are the case. This applies to the current version 2020.1.3.441. Of course, I can uncheck the unrelated applications, but this is error prone. In my opinion the applications are not related, if they only share elements defined in system settings, data sources (...)

Adding expression editor to new BPS Portal "coding options"

IN BACKLOG 2 0

Hi, with the introduction of BPS Portal we got a few additional options were we can add "code" and where variables from the expression editor would be useful if not even mandatory. 1. Report - SQL Filter, there are a few variables there already 2. Calculated field in Reports and BPS internal view, no option to use existing variables 3. Report - advanced formatting, no options to use existing variables Why do I think that this would be mandatory? The path example of advanced colouring will ju (...)

Designer: On new step creation a path is added

2 2

Whenever I create a new step in the designer studio, I need to add a path too. The only steps which don't need at least one path are the final paths, which may have already been created by the wizard. So it would save a little bit of time for everyone if there would already be a path. :) Daniel

Resurrection of "Replace logins"

1 1

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

Add/Remove privileges - availability in global cyclic action

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.

Configuration of control stryle / colors dependant on selected theme by user.

1 2

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 (...)

New "Business rule" like type to create table valued /scalar functions

1 0

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 (...)

Prefix and suffix for integer form fields

NOT NOW 1 2

Hi, it would be great if it would be possible to set prefix and suffix for integer form fields too like it is for floating-point form fields. The workaround to use a floating-point form field and to set decimal places is known but not the intuitive way. Kind Regards Sébastien

Direct jump from element in usages display to respective element in the app

IN BACKLOG 1 2

Hi, it would ne very nice if one could directly jump from an element in the tree in the "usages" tab to the respective element in the app. E.g. a double click on the form field to jump in the style and behavior form rule section. Same for all other combinations. Kind Regards Sébastien

CSS classes configuration for style and behavior of field

UNDER REVIEW 1 3

Hi, it would ne nice if one could enter a list of css class names in the "style" section of the tab "style and behaviour" of a field. Insted of multiple occurences of the same style code in different fields one could just enter one or more css classes. This keeps css style modifications simple. If there would be an internal css editor (similar to form rule editor) instead of a text input field for the css classes there could be a multiple select of the already defined css classes in the ap (...)

Path parameter for left or right alignment of buttons in button list

CLOSED 1 2

Hi, it would be nice having an option in the path parameter settings to tell the button if it shall be displayed on the left or the right of the button list. Adding eg a class .path-button-container-right to the div containers of all right aligned buttons and the following css would do the whole trick: .dynamic-form #pathPanel .path-button-container:not(.path-button-container-right) + .path-button-container-right { margin-left: auto; } This addresses always the 1st button with (...)
