When configuring an automated document in the communications cog the designer is forced to use drop-downs to define the document. The designer can not use a variable.
The automated configuration requires a task for each automated letter. BPO has a thousand or more automated letters and forcing this causes the service layer to become extremely complex and difficult to support.
When new letters are added for Automation use we will no longer have to update the service with a new Communication Cog. We would want to require the use of a variable to pass the document name. The service could require some modifications and the current Communication Cog may the ability to be “Refreshed” to pull in any new Data Sources that may be added for use within the letter.

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.

It would be nice to have a search bar for system settings. Similar to what we have in the studio area to search for any process/object.

Blue Prism should include a Save Draft feature to all forms. I used the Raise Submission action to submit a form to a user. The user found this request in their inbox, but they noticed they did not have an option to save draft. (The Save Draft feature only exists when creating a new submission from a blank form on the Home screen).

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 😉 )

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.

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.

Instead of creating separate schedules, when a schedule is completed ,it should trigger another schedule.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Dears,
Currently Blue Prism does not have the option to schedule a process on Nth working day in a month/Week. As a result, one has to look for work arounds to schedule in that way. It will be great to have that option by default under the schedules. Thanks.
