In Blue Prism Interact V4.3, we do not have option to tag the queue item in Interact form.
If this option is available in interact form, it will help us for better tracking work queue items

Hi, can you improve Interact so that it supports logical AND/OR conditions for multiple field values? Let me give you an example: 1. the form has got three elements - Combo box, Field1, Field2 2. if combo box value is Yes, Field1 and Field2 are hidden 3. if combo box has a value No and Field1 value is NOT EMPTY, SHOW Field2 This is not possible to achieve with the current features. Regards, Zdenek

In BPv6.10 we have setup a multi-team-environment and access to certain folders is restricted; Sometimes users are getting an error message when trying to run a process in Control Room: "Failed to create session on [...] Cannot create session as user does not have execute permission on one or more of the processes dependencies". It would be very helpful to include in this error message which dependencies the user does not have permission for so that it can be fixed quickly.

Currently (BP 6.9) when DB file size reaches its limit (or disk size or whatever might prevent writing new records) the BP environment might sill be up and running but new session logs are not created. We had the case when one of our DB was with size quota and when reaching the max size following happend:
release imports failed (with DB error message, which is fine and expected)
Scheduler kept running and executing processes
Sessions logs were not created
Audit logs were written (but probably because they still fit in existing free space)
In order to comply with IT security, internal audit and industry regulations, it is obligatory to have logs created in any case. Not being able to write logs should not be ignored by Blue Prism but users has to be notified. Possible options:
write the error to session log (in hope a single record would still fit in free space but as well very likely run into the same problem as the execution logs)
write an error in audit logs (might also run into no space issue but in our case it was still working. Bigger issue is the audit logs have to be actively monitored otherwise it will go unnoticed)
terminate the process and show it as terminated in Control (currently processes might still run or fail according to their logic and not because of DB issues)
...
Probably terminating the execution is the most viable option before processes could run for days (in our case) without creating any logs.

The font readability is currently bad in some of the Process/Object Studio UI elements, for example due to kerning issues. The changed zoom functionality in 6.8 has also made it more difficult to develop. Now that the font scales with zoom, everything below 75% zoom makes the elements unreadable, so development has to be done with 100% zoom, which makes it harder to get an overview of the process. Allowing for better customization of the fonts on user/system level and disabling font scaling below 100 % zoom would enable smoother development.

The current "overnighter" BIPURGE job only currently hits the BI schema in the reporting database, not the OA star schema. This means that any clients using the OA schema instead of/in addition to the BI schema can't take advantage of this job to regularly purge old BI data for completed work as a regular BAU activity. Suggestion would be to enhance BIPURGE, or (better?) add a new "DIMENSIONALPURGE" batch job, in the same way we have two BI mapper jobs. N.B: Using DID can/will get rid of OA data - but that's not a BAU utility, due to the need to identify/stage purge candidates in advance of execution.

Refreshing the control room runtimes is one of my most common UI actions within the control room. Its tedious to constantly navigate to the very top right of the screen to click a dropdown with a single item (making it a 2 step process). At least make it a single click refresh button. But PLEASE add a keyboard shortcut to refresh. Something like CTRL+R

Blueprism Interact Forms only supports the upload of one file per field. This will function most of the time if the user is required to only attach one or two files. However, if many supporting documents are required to be uploaded, current workaround is to request user to perform an extra step of archiving the files. As such, it will be good to have forms to be able to upload multiple files at one time, as what other form based solution can do.

It will be great to add a feature for Browsers to read the "Item Value"(DOM Value) of the selected item in an HTML combo box?
Please find the example below:
I want to read the Item value(DOM Value) which is "/m/02gsvk". This will help in many scenarios where value remains same and the selected text changes according to the local language setting of the site.

Ability to code get work based on LOB values such as specific dealers. Another workflow system has a user coding screen that basically has a drop down that has the ability to add parameters to define their work selects and one of the parameters is the Dealer value, as an example.

When cloning an item from a transaction, we currently have the option to link the newly cloned transaction to the case and bring over LOB’s but there is no option to also bring over the sources from that transaction.
You may argue that the source is already in the case however we may not be linking this item to the case. It may go to a different department or business unit for further processing, sending out correspondence, etc. and we don’t want to confuse the processor or spend time having to figure out what needs to be looked at. We often link the sources directly to the transaction in this case even if it’s already link to other transactions.
Furthermore, we have instances where many sources need to be attached which is time consuming. The case that prompted this enhancement was that 22 statements needed to be sent to a client and the processor needed to find and link all 22 manually. I will admit that the processor didn’t know they could drag and drop the sources which is less time consuming than manually linking them so they did learn something new in the process. In either case, it’s still time spent doing something that could be automated and more streamlined. It’s not going to a huge time saving or money saving enhancement, but it is a nice to have from an associate standpoint.
Therefore, it would be nice to have a checkbox in that same area on the cloning screen to be able to include the attached sources of the transaction you are cloning to the new transaction you are creating.

When using an action stage currently all individual objects and processes are in an unfolded treeview. I'd like to request 2 new features / changes; - Collapsed items in the treeview in stead of expanded. - Search function which will only show objects that match the search term.

When opening a CSD, launch a process, run a search, create a relationship, or create work in the modern processor workspace, it always opens to the same default window size, with is generally too small.
A good example of a process that is impacted is the Caller Authentication guided process, which is run by the GIDS phone team for every single phone call. Currently, the associate would have to resize the window for every single phone call.
There appears to be a couple needs here:
Windows for work objects should open to the size of the CSD or workflow form, or maximum window size.
When we resize a work type, it should retain that size for all instances of the same work type. Currently, Chorus only retains it for the specific instance that was resized.
Search results and relationship windows should retain their preferred size for new searches/relationships. Also, the default size should be at least large enough to display 3 or 4 items.

We are working on automating a few use cases through Decipher. For some of them, we don't require any manual intervention and therefore we need the Batch to bypass Data verification tab, whereas for others we need the manual intervention to be performed by the business users, and therefore the data verification tab needs to be turned on. However with the way the current configuration settings work, once we turn on the automatically skip data verify tab, the setting becomes applicable for all the batches. We would like the ability to enable/disable this setting based on the exact use case/batch as per the business requirements.

When you are running several resources I find that I would want to add a comment in resource management that can show up in control room. Great way to comment on which resources are installed with which software, for example. Grouping can provide some of this, but sometimes you would need further information on which resource is meant to do what. If having < resources and this can be a small issue, but with 10+, especially if your IT sets up machines with random names that can not be altered, this can start off being an issue.

Blue Prism should include recommended Process/object templates when we do fresh installation of blue prism. So that Users/Entry level developers will understand how a process should be designed. Other Vendors has already these type of templates eg. Background process Template, Robotic Enterprise Framework. It would be great, if blue prism provides these similar templates as per their standards.

Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it. When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool: Page: ABC Stage: XYZ Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff Repairable: No The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties. Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history. Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows: - When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one - When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one This has been tested on the following versions: 6.4.2 6.4.4 6.8.0

The utility task in the Chorus BPM design studio currently only has operations for work/source/folder creation. It is a regular design pattern in Chorus process design to want to update another work item (or less commonly, source or folder) within the same Chorus instance, given its object key. To do this currently requires use of the "updateObjects" operation on the AWD Processing Service SOAP web service, so:
The call goes out of the container and back in through the web server, creating a new execution thread in the process, rather than being a simple inline call from the Service Engine
As a separate execution thread, that update is in a separate database transaction, so won't roll back if an error down the line in the current process triggers a transaction rollback
