Is it bad practice to use objects without an application attached?

[amsterguy]

Hello,

I have created objects (without application attached to Application Modeler) that are working for other objects that do have an application attached. 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.

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.

Thanks in advance!

Why would you think that you are doing anything wrong? 

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.

Blue Prism packages several VBOs themselves of same nature - like Utility Collecteions, etc.

Thank you for your feedback!

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!
