Two common reasons for this are:

1. That the user has created a Shortcut, Bookmark, or Favorites link that is pointing to an incorrect URL or to a part of the WorkflowGen application that is within an IFrame. To correctly create a bookmark (with Internet Explorer):
1. Navigate to the WorkflowGen Portal by typing the URL into the address bar
2. Select the icon “Add to Favorites” or press “Alt + Z” keys
3. Select a location within your Favorites to save the bookmark
2. The IIS website contains a redirection page or is pointing to the incorrect location
1. You will have to remove the redirection page and verify that the website is pointing to the correct location

Yes, HTTPS is supported by WorkflowGen. Follow the steps below to use HTTPS.

Register the certificate:

Purchase a certificate (e.g.: Verisign, etc) and make sure that all the IIS servers have the certificates registered correctly.

• You can Google how to do this or visit Microsoft.com for articles on this

Change WorkflowGen URL’s:

From WorkflowGen:

1. Launch the Administration Module
2. Open the Configuration Panel à General à Web application URL
   a.  Change the “Http://” to “Https://” as the URL
   b.  Save and close the Configuration Panel
3. For each WorkflowGen Application
   a.  Change the “Http://” to “Https://” as the URL
4. For each process that refers to the old URL
   a.  Change the “Http://” to “Https://” as the URL

Note: Any relative paths (e.g. /wfgen/….) do not need to be changed.

To support a new language locale, you must create the corresponding resource files (.resx) by copying an existing language resource file and translating the terms as required, using a resource file editor such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Express. 

The naming convention for each file should follow the convention of existing language file names and have the language code added to them (e.g. en-GB, es-MX, fr-CA, etc..).

The resource files are located in the following folders:

Core Modules
These are located in the "[DRIVE]:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wfgen\App_GlobalResources\" folder. 

Workflow Applications
There are additional resource files, by WorkflowGen application, in the folders "[DRIVE]:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wfgen\WfApps\WebApps\[ApplicationName]\App_GlobalResources\".

There is one resource files for each language code, by module or application. 

Example to create a Spanish (Mexico) resource file

1. Go to the folder \wwwroot\wfgen\App_GlobalResources\
2. Copy the file Advantys.Workflow.Web.UI.Portal.resx (the default English US resource file of the portal module)
3. Rename your copy with the Spanish country code Advantys.Workflow.Web.UI.Portal.es-MX.resx
4. Open the file in a text editor and translate US labels into Spanish
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all resource files in the core module folder and the workflow applications folders.

Note: do not remove, or alter the content of the "Name" column in the resource file while translating, as these names are bound to the WorkflowGen application controls.  Only alter the "Value" column during the translation.

List of language codes

Language codes should be specified in the format "language-COUNTRY" (COUNTRY is optional is some cases).  You can find a complete list of language codes at the following Microsoft reference site:  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533052(VS.85).aspx

Important Notes when creating or modifying Resource files

1. The resource files for the languages fr-FR, fr-CA, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, and de-DE are provided in each update pack, which will overwrite any changes you may have applied to the existing files. 
2. Upgrading WorkflowGen will bring about new resource file versions that may include changes to label identifiers ("Name") which could be altered, removed, or added. If you make changes to these files or have copied these files to create a language, you will need to make a backup copy of the files prior to any upgrades, study the changes to the resource files from the prior version, and manually re-apply changes.
3. Root resource files (those without the language-code suffix) should not be deleted.

From the Administration Module:

1. Open the Configuration panel à Portal à Customized banner URL.
2. Enter the URL to an html file (or image file).
3. Validate the URL by selecting the 'TEST' link.

You can create your own HTML page displaying your home screen logs, messages, announcements, web links etc and apply it as the WorkflowGen Application Banner.

(Please refer to section 2.3 of the Administration Documentation)

1. The process(es) in question may be "In test" mode. If so, then only a users who are assigned as "process manager" or have their profiles set as "admin" can launch a request of that(those) process(es).
2. The user may not be a requester of the process in question
1. I.E.: Even if you are an administrator or process manager you MUST be part of the Requester participant to launch a request.
2. Note: This applies to folder managers and administrators
