Problem
The Data menu in an action running mode is showing a blank pop up dialog when clicked from an IE browser.
Explanation
If your IIS web server has the HTTP compression setting turned ON and users attempts to open the data list from the running action header menu in IE, a blank windows dialog will be displayed.
The data list uses client-side dynamic HTML functionality to download and display compressed information from the IIS web server which appears to have compatibility issues as indicated by Microsoft.
Workaround
The solution is to turn off compression on IIS for maximum compatibility. This applies to IIS version 6.0 and higher. Prior versions do not support HTTP Compression.

Why are my web forms getting a Time Out Expired error when I submit the form.
Web forms are session based and these sessions are automatically recycled by IIS every 20 minutes by default. To eliminate losing your data, you should add the following code to your web forms code-behind's page consctructor method.
C#
Example
public partial class _Default : WorkflowPage
{
public _Default() : base()
{
IsSimpleMode = true;
IsSessionLess = true;
}
}
VB.NET
Example
Public Class _Default
Inherits WorkflowPage
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New
IsSimpleMode = true
IsSessionLess = true
End Sub
End Class
How do I change the Portal Banner Height?

You can change the Banner on the Home Page of the Portal by modifying the web.config parameter of WorkflowGen called PortalFrameSetHeight.
Changing the Banner Height in the User Portal
To change the height of the banner you must modify the 1st value (of 4) in the following parameter (replace xxx):
<add key="PortalFrameSetHeight" value="xxx,53,*,15" />
Disable the Home Page counters to increase performance
Disabling the Counters on the Portal Home Page can increase its load time performance. To disable the counters you must modify the web.config parameter PortalHomePageDisplayMode as follows:
Setting the counter visibility on the Portal Home Page for each section.
(Note: By adding up several of the values together you can impact several sections.)
0 : Display all section counters according to their results
1 : Display a link only for the section "My current requests"
2 : Display a link only for the section "My actions to do"
4 : Display a link only for the section "Team to-do list"
8 : Display a link only for the section "Actions to assign to a person"
16 : Display a link only for the section "My requests closed since my last visit"
32 : Display a link only for the section "Follow-up of the current requests"
64 : Display a link only for the section "Follow-up of the current actions"
127 : Display a link for all sections (disables all counters)
Example
PortalHomePageDisplayMode="127" (Sum of all numbers above (0+1+2+4+8+16+32+64=127).
Can you use delegations if the Participant type is "A person"?
Yes; regardless of the type of participant (i.e.: A person, A list of persons, A list of persons with coordinator), you may use delegations.
You may delegate a user’s role to any other user that has been added to WorkflowGen even if the delegatee is not part of the same process participant list as the delegator.
In fact, the delegatee does not need to be part of the process in question to be selected as the delegatee by the delegator.
