Self-updating API website

[TylerGlenn]

​The BP API dialog box builds html pages for each object selected from the dropdown.  This is based on object contents.  I suggest BP builds an API website (perhaps hosted on the local server) with foldering to match the Object studio folder structure, and have it automatically update documentation upon save/import of objects.
Including referenced components in API (or allowing further customization) would be a plus, but a self-updating API website would be very useful especially for larger/federated teams.

Hello @TylerGlenn,

Thanks for taking the time to raise an idea.

I'm going to presume that you're putting a considerable amount of descriptions into your processes, objects and stages in order to make the automatically generated API website that you describe useful to the development team as a whole - can I ask whether you're using Blue Prism as the source of truth for all this information, or are you putting this information somewhere else as well? I ask as I've seen a lot of customers building their own version of what you describe through tools like Confluence, so I'm wondering if it makes more sense for Blue Prism to build this directly or to link to other tools in which this information may also exist as an enhancement.

Let me know your thoughts - I'm going to mark this as Needs More Info awaiting your reply.

Regards,

Rob
