Browsers and Blue Prism is always at the forefront of many of our developers minds; both RPA developers and our product developers internally. In regards to rolling out backwards compatible support, that's one for our Product Managers who will be made aware of your questions.
My immediate question back would be though - why are you using the UI? We have an extensive suite of connectors for SalesForce on the DX - find them here. Internally, we use SalesForces and with the API and their query language we are yet to find something we couldn't automate utilizing it.
Let me know,
James

Thank you for your question.
In the analytics space within Blue Prism you can customize your dashboard tiles and add new ones. You can also create customize tiles by creating SQL stored procedures that provides the data used by the tile. Please see below for useful links that explains how to navigate the Analytics space, use SQL Stored Procedures and how to set the right permissions to be able to do it.
- Editing the dashboard tiles and creating custom data sources: Dashboard tiles (blueprism.com)
- Dashboard permissions: Analytics (blueprism.com)

- Video explaining dashboard and tiles: (Blue Prism) Part 43 : Working Session with Blue Prism DashBoards and Tiles (Detailed) - YouTube
I hope that helps!

Nice question, HTML and Blue Prism often don't play as expected.
Now, I can't see an issue with Luis Lopez work in the replied thread. I would ask as to why you can't just attach the excel or possibly convert to a standard HTML table as a workaround? The former seems logical, the latter annoying but a workaround none the less. If none of those work, then let me know.
As for inserting images, I've always found success with png's personally: attach the file as you've done and then reference with some HTML like the following "<br><img src="blueprism.png"/><br>".
Do you have a copy of the exact HTML you are using?
Best,
James

Blue Prism has several options available to help you produce reports and visualize the impact that Blue Prism processes are having on your organisation.
- Analytics Dashboards: An information dashboard is presented to each user within the analytics section of the platform (these can be personal or global). These dashboards are configurable with pre-built or customisable data sources which enables users to define and present graphical reports (information link:

As this is a roadmap-related question, we're unable to answer this live during this session. I've sent your question over to Product Management, and hope to have an answer to your question soon! Once I receive a response, I will post it here.
Thank you,
Melanie
