For example, I have an Excel Functions Object that do specific tasks. And I use this Excel object in 2-3 different pages of other objects. My object is basically working like a class being instantiated.<BR /><BR />My question would be, is what am doing wrong? Or is it ok? Are there any other ways to do this? I don't want to repeat the code I already have created in one object multiple times.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance!<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Oscar Lopez<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Wed, 26 Oct 2022 19:58:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Is-it-bad-practice-to-use-objects-without-an-application/m-p/56162#M1250 amsterguy 2022-10-26T19:58:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Is-it-bad-practice-to-use-objects-without-an-application/m-p/56163#M1251 Why would you think that you are doing anything wrong?&nbsp;<BR /><BR />It is perfectly normal to have VBO file that has no Application to be modelled - general purpose function, or APIS that can be used across several processes.<BR /><BR />Blue Prism packages several VBOs themselves of same nature - like Utility Collecteions, etc.<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Arkady Dudko<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Wed, 26 Oct 2022 20:04:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Is-it-bad-practice-to-use-objects-without-an-application/m-p/56163#M1251 adudko 2022-10-26T20:04:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Is-it-bad-practice-to-use-objects-without-an-application/m-p/56164#M1252 Thank you for your feedback! <BR /><BR />Someone reviewed my bot and made that remark about not using the application modeler, so I was unsure. But thank you for that clarification, I appreciated it!<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Oscar Lopez<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Wed, 26 Oct 2022 20:14:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Is-it-bad-practice-to-use-objects-without-an-application/m-p/56164#M1252 amsterguy 2022-10-26T20:14:00Z
