Note from Michael Lowe @ BP: This I not really a problem with wait stages as Blue Prism naturally iterates through the DOM repeatedly looking for the element (for the allotted period of time). However with reads, writes and navigates it will only attempt it once (throwing the classic element not found error if the element doesn’t exist). Possibly having these stages try a couple of times automatically would resolve this issue, but that’s not the way the product works right now. I will raise it as a product suggestion which will get considered for a future development. This was in response to our continued problems with Invocation errors on Edge/V6.9

eMail Capture should support the option of creating an email content source with inline images included in the same source rather than separate sources attached to the same work such that the email body with the inline images will be stored and displayed as a single source in Content Viewer. Inline images are currently created as separate sources attached the same work. It is very hard for users to relate the email content to the inline images when there are multiple images and any incorrect reference may result in errors with financial risks. In the example below, one single source (as shown below) should be created instead of 2 sources (1 email body and 1 attachment source for "ABCCo Funds").

When closing Process Studio or Object Studio, you are prompted to add a change description and save your changes. Sometimes, it's hard to remember what you've changed - or whether you even want to save those changes at all. I would love you to add a "show changes" button to this dialog box, so I can see the differences between the saved version and the version I'm closing. This would not only help me to describe the changes I've made, but also allow me to avoid saving changes that were just made while experimenting.

Add the ability to use AND and OR operations in gateways, in the Chorus Process Designer.
This will help process designers reduce the number of connections and keep the process maps cleaner.

There is no option to view all the values of an item in the Queue Contents view.
Currently you can only see the item key.
To be able to analyse the contents of an item, I must start a process and call "Get Next Item".
It would be helpful to place a button next to or in the Item Key column that allows you to see the content of the respective item.
A list view would be good too, so that you have an overview of all items with the associated item values.
Viewing the item's values should be restricted by access rights, as items may contain information that should not be accessible to everyone.

Since the core utilities and objects no longer included when you install Blue Prism (BP), I think it would be very helpful if the DX tab in BP could display the core utilities for download and provide an option to import them directly, rather than redirecting you to the Dx platform. I'm aware that the Blue Prism team is constantly adding features and fixing bugs in the core objects. Therefore, showing the last update of the core object that the client has and providing the option to update to the latest version would be a significant improvement. I work in different environments using BP 7.1, but some core objects are from previous versions (e.g., 6.2) and have not been updated. When I requested the installation of a new Core object (such as the MS Word VBO), they complied. However, I then noticed there were approximately five different core objects with the same name. Which one was the latest? It's unclear until you examine each object individually, searching for the required action.

As a user of ROS I need the ability to save the document to chorus using a keyboard shortcut (hot key such as control + s). The document should remain open. The save to chorus button on the plug in closes the document. This means the user constantly must reopen the document to continue with the editing.

The Inbox allows users to sort / filter on various fields, however, as soon as the user navigates away from the Inbox then any applied filters etc. are reset. It would improve the user's experience if these settings could be saved / stored. For example, a user may change the number of rows displayed from the default 5 to 25, sort by oldest to newest and then filter for a certain form / key value but this is then reset as soon as they open a form.

Even though we have scheduler it would be nice if we can start a process trought a trigger in queues. Basically when a queue as items we should be able to automaticaly start a process. The only way we can do this right now is if we have a robot checking new queue items , this makes the machine and resourse always unavaliable but there are no cases being worked.

We would like the ability to automate the hopping of in-flight work to the latest deployed version of the process model associated to the Business Area / Work Type. In seeing how each user task within a process model is associated to a back-end identifier (GUID), there would be a match for the same GUID on any newly deployed version of that process model. All active work on the previously deployed version of the process model to be transferred to the corresponding GUID on the latest deployed version of that model. The Scenario: A business request is received to update/fix an existing process model with a change to routing attributes (for example). The process model is updated with changes to a particular gateway and deployed as the newest version to that BA/WT. Given Statements: All the work objects created prior to the deploying of the latest version remains on the previously deployed version. The changes to the gateway on the newest version do not apply to any active work objects created on the previous version. The only options at this time: inform the business that the latest changes to the process model will only apply to newly created work objects (date-specific) and that any in-flight work is to remain on the old process model. or the workflow administrator can manually hop (pause existing tasks on previously deployed process model version and resume on corresponding task on the latest deployed version) Some Limitations: There are some restrictions to manually hopping (pause/resuming via Monitor) work from old to new: Once a work object is "paused" by a workflow admin: any pending timer expiry attributes are lost any suspension activate attributes are lost any user assignments are lost For larger process models that have numerous user tasks, this task of manually hopping could be resource intensive (although it depends on the scenario as well). A monthly deployment cadence where process models could be deployed once a month is not as bad. For process models that have nested sub-processes (could be various levels deep), the manual process of hopping work objects from tasks within a nested sub-process out to the same user task that is nested in a different version of the process model is also labor intensive and requires a methodical approach (where to pause on parent process prior to resuming, etc.). The Ask: Provide functionality within the Monitoring tool (or elsewhere) to automate the hopping of active work objects to the latest deployed version of the process model associated to the BA/WT. Hop work from and to the same user task (as identified by the GUID) on the newest deployed process model version (if a GUID match is found). For each work object that is hopped, as applicable: retain and reapply the timer expiry attributes retain and reapply the suspension activate attributes retain and reapply user assignments For work objects on the old model that are in a user task that does not exist on the newly deployed model (no GUID match), these work objects are left as-is on the old model and is flagged to the workflow admin (via report or through the Monitor interface, identifying those that were not hopped, requiring manual review/action). Provide the ability for workflow admin to select which processes to apply the hopper automation as there may be situations where hopper automation would not be required, for example, the newly deployed process model is a complete overhaul (user tasks deleted, etc.). History: Prior to our upgrade to Chorus (previously on AWD SP8.8), we had an in-house SQL script that would fulfill the above functionality. With each month's release, we would include the execution of the process model hopper within our deployment runbook. For the past decade, this script executed without flaw and workflow administrators did not have to manually hop work from previous to newly deployed process model versions with each deployment. The "Active" tab within the workflow admin suite would have the list of all process models deployed, and all work would be always on the latest deployed version (providing ease of work object maintenance as well). However, with the move to Chorus, due to the changes to the back end database tables for work objects, our current scripts utilized with AWD is no longer compatible, and would require a re-write/mapping of GUID, process model version comparisons.

Our organization uses Word Templates to control the letter writing experience from a default spacing, font, etc. perspective. Our user base is distributed over internal and external groups to our network, making a centralized location that is secure more and more difficult to maintain.

Hi Team, We need another enhancement to add the existing Training Data from one DFD/Document Type to another DFD/Document Type.
Use Case: We have gone live with one process consisting of US Invoices which have around 15 fields in DFD and is stable (Currently getting 87% accuracy), now we are extending the process to Asia Pac & Europe region for which we will create a new DFD & Document type which will have existing 15 fields with additional 10 fields. We need to add the existing training data of 15fields to the new 25 fields, wherein system should automatically capture 15 fields and rest 10 new fields should be taught.

I would like to see an in-build feature in blueprism which will allow me to select 2 things while scheduling or triggering a process:
Retry limit
Defer time
Basically when I run a process on a particular resource or resource pool and none of the resources are available then the process fails. Instead of failing it should consider the retry limit and try to run the process again on the same resource or resource pool after the defer time limit. It will allow the process to wait for some time and let the resource be free.
