Currently using BP v6.9 in a multi-language environment in which Windows display language is either English or German. Blue Prism client is always in English (to achieve this we had to delete the localization folder). Our session logs are always in English (except for OS messages those are of course passed through by BP). Our audit logs have mixed languages. eg login/logout are always in English. Changes to schedules are based on Windows language settings, so either in English or German.   Date and number formats in logs differ depending on local regional settings in Windows and BP client / resource. This affects all types of analysis, querying of log data. Language in logs should be consistent in all types of logs and for all types of events.  This could be achieved by either always be in English (except OS messages) or according to server language setting. Even better would be a own BP system language & region settings that are applied to all logs. This way the text and formats may differ to local BP client settings but at least they would be consistent. (And our colleagues don't need Google translate for messages generated by BP client running on German Windows 😉 ) ... View more

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. ... View more

As of now, we can set up auto force retry on exception items by increasing the retry count on queue settings. But this will force retry all exception items. I see a possibility to add some intelligence in the tool to only force retry specific exception items and not all of them. The user should have 2 options to enter keywords for Exception Type & Exception Details. So users need to configure keywords. So if BP encounters an exception item and it has a keyword match present in Exception Details then only it will force retry automatically. If there is no match in a keyword from what user set and what BP throw then there will be no auto force retry. ... View more

Currently, In Blue Prism, Users can edit the Status for Queue items which are loaded already into the Queue. Similarly, Blue Prism has to allow users to edit the Priority of the Work Queue Pending status items. This will help us to meet if urgent work has to be done for the Queue items. basically, Priority can be modified even after loaded into the Queue. Similarly, We need Edit Priority option as well ...

The idea is to have a list of weekdays (Mon-Sun) to select from when specifying the time plan for a Schedule. This way it is easy to let a Schedule run eg every Mon, Wed of a week.  This is an enhanced version of the current 'weekly' time plan, where only one day can be selected.  Currently (BP v6.9 for us) there are two options to achieve several runs on different weekdays:  - create weekly schedule and duplicate for each weekday - create a new calendar and select the wanted weekdays only Both ways are not very intuitive and more difficult to maintain ...

Hi there, I'd like to suggest an idea to improve BP Studio. It is just about the visibility of texts in the BP Process/Object Studio. If you see the attached screenshot, the selected row’s values’ fonts don’t have enough visibility. Especially, when we’re providing training sessions to our partners/customers, people who sit down further from the screen are hard/unable to see the texts. I attached a ppt file to show more cases. Please check the attachment. Thank you. Seungjei. seungjei.jang@blueprism.kr from Blue Prism Korea ... View more

There are dozens of Excel functions that are not included in BP out-of-the-box but can be added with the use of a simple enumerator in the code.  For example 'Save as CSV' changes wb.SaveAs(filename) to wb.SaveAs(filename,6) Explode the number of actions available to users by including these enumerators as variables in the interface or passing the variable to the action OOTB - rather than forcing users to re-code the VBO statements individually. ...

Many VBOs appear to be unnecessarily set to a run mode of "exclusive". If any of these VBOs are used in a process or object that is exposed as an API, we will be limited to a single instance at any given time on that resource. In order for us to advance our callable process/object capabilities, we need the flexibility to run multiple instances on a single machine.  The following is a list of VBOs that have an "Exclusive" run mode: Email - POP3/SMTP MS Excel VBO MS Excel VBO - Extended MS Outlook Email VBO MS Outlook Email VBO 6.10.4 MS Word VBO System - Active Directory Utility - Encryption Utility - HTTP Utility - JSON Utility - Numeric Operations Utility - Network Utility - Screen Capture Webservices - OAuth2.0 Webservices - REST I think the MS VBOs could at least be reduced to "Foreground" run mode(as they might temporarily require exclusive use of those applications), but all of the others should be changed to "Background" as there is no discernable reason that multiple instances couldn't be running at the same time. If we need to make them more exclusive, that should be our choice in our local environments, but there's no need to be so restrictive as a platform default setting. ... View more

Right now in Blue Prism 7.0, you can filter for sessions in the Control tab, but you can't view all the results. There is no 'next page' button or way to see results that do not fit on the first page of results. The best you can do is change your sorting between ascending and descending, but if the result you want is in a middle page (not the first or last page of results), you can't access it. Others have suggested more custom filtering on the Control tab, which would also solve this issue. At the very least, I am asking for the ability to click through multiple pages of results when I filter for sessions in the Control tab. ... View more

some findings on how task order is defined by BP can be found in my comment below In BP client Control tab, Schedules are ordered by their names and tasks according to their creation. Schedules can be arranged by structured names. The order of Tasks is defined by when they have been created that makes organizing Schedules unnecessary difficult over time. eg: Schedule: (numbers show the logical order) - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (3.) Now when adding a second process to be executed after the existing one it would look like: Schedule: - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (4.) - Process2 (3.) It would be better to order the Tasks by their names so order can be easily amended as needed by prefixes in their names. ... View more

Capture Creates a lot of value for creation of new PDDs and Digital workers, but how about the already delivered solution? Running a large-scale (now 5 Y old) CoE come with some documentational challenges. What if there was a "plugin" which was activated to create a PDD. Using a combination of the BP process logic and screenshots and magically created "PDD" like output. Which could be used to actually see what the robot is doing - all to avoid the problem of outdated PDD.  ... View more

I'd like an option to populate Interact dropdowns with information from the Active Directory (like employee name and ID). I have a use case where form users need to pick an employee from a list of all employees in a dropdown field, then my process would update a field in another application using the selected employee ID.  Due to the large volume of employees and the fact there's already an Active Directory integration planned, I would like to see these dropdown values available without going one by one add each employee as  dropdown option  (It also looks like there's an idea planned to add more dynamic options for dropdowns, which is related. It would be great to be able to calculate how these values are shown as a dropdown option and received as an output when getting queue data from a response. ie. using BP calculations like [Active Directory.Employee Name]&" ( "&[Active Directory.Employee ID]&" ) " to show John Smith ( 12345 ) and output the same, but not as critical since the output can be calculated as shown here in the process. Currently, when getting queue data, it would pull the selected information out with hyphens ie. john-smith-12345)  ... View more
