THE LATEST VERSION

WEBCON BPS 2022

Release date: 13/01/2022

We’re thrilled to introduce a brand new platform release, WEBCON BPS 2022.

Each year we release a new version of our enterprise low-code platform, WEBCON BPS. Throughout 2021 we have listened especially closely to our clients’ and partners’ feedback to make the platform even more user-friendly and powerful than ever before. We’ve been hard at work for the past twelve months improving existing features and adding significant new functionality. They’ll immediately enhance the applications that already built, as well as offer even more when building brand new solutions.

Here’s an overview of the changes introduced in WEBCON BPS 2022:

1. Automations

This one is big, and it’s probably the most dramatic new feature for 2022. We turned series of actions into – what we call – automations, that look like flowcharts that can branch based on conditions and execute actions. They’re easy to visualize, and even easier to create and maintain. We’ve also made it possible to reuse automations, pass parameters between them without needing to use technical form fields as temporary storage, and configure advanced error handling.

2. WEBCON Designer Desk

• usability improvements,
• video tutorials and walk-through to accelerate adoption,
• undo/redo support,
• configuring task information within transition paths,
• improvements to the auto-generated documentation.

3. WEBCON BPS Portal

• introduction of two new standard supported color themes – Light and Dark.
• introduction of the user profile feature that allows users to manage their language, topic, and notification settings, as well as verify where their permissions have been granted to external applications.

4. Mass notifications

A completely rebuilt mechanism for handling mass notifications, generated by the system automatically and aggregating information about a user’s tasks into a tabular form or a tile view.

5. Substitutions management

The 2022 version introduces the functionality of substitutions on behalf, i.e. the ability to act on behalf of another user. A substitute, after switching to the work on behalf mode, will see exactly what the replaced user would see with the same privilege level.

6. Reports

• new report view – Calendar
• new colors added to the theme configuration
• ability to clone public and private report views
• extending the configuration of start buttons from the report level
• new filters in reports

7. Forms

Forms became a bit more attractive and a lot more functional. The improvements include:

• a new scale rating control,
• improved ergonomics of the business rules editor,
• extension of the HTML form field configuration,
• ability to place Microsoft Graph Toolkit components on the form,
• rebuilding the file transfer mechanism to allow working with large file attachments,
• new text editor in the “Multiple lines of text” from field,
• changing the choice fields appearance,
• navigating the form using the keyboard.

8. Integration

Significant expansion of the support for REST-type web services and introduced support for the OAuth2 standard.

9. Maintenance

Expanded functionality of the diagnostic mode of event viewer with the ability to import and export entire diagnostic session records to and from files.

10. Compatibility

• ended support for the following Microsoft technologies: Internet Explorer, Exchange Server 2013, SQL Server 2012, and SharePoint Server 2013.
• version 2022 can no longer be installed in a mode that is tightly integrated with SharePoint (full trust code running on the SharePoint server), and therefore, support for classic SharePoint forms and web parts has ended.
