The existing design control covers quite a lot in terms of usable syntax and logic errors but it is limited with best practice checking. There should be a base set of configurable best practice controls set up based on peer review documents. Example controls: Overcomplicated pages - Check for X number of stages. Stages that could be sub-pages - Check for duplicate named sequences of stages. Possible infinite loops - Check to ensure a decision stage exists between a set of links that go backwards. Attach stages at the beginning of actions - Check for an attach after a Start stage These are just some possible controls. Rules should be developed based on the existing peer review checklists on the portal. Organisations should have some flexibility in modifying the controls and increasing/decreasing thresholds based on their own needs. ... View more

Blue Prism 6.6 should throw an error at the point where the Process cannot interact with the element spied using Region mode. It instead just hangs and the session goes in to a warning state. We could see more than RTR is running in same VM. We did a global settings in application modeler but got the same error (Warning and No Exception). In the above case, Blue Prism should handle this type of situation by throwing an error and terminating the Session would be more informative and quicker at alerting the problem than not notifying at all and losing valuable running time. ...

Hi, I would like to seperate how a System Exception (SE) and how a Business Exception (BE) is shown in control room. Today a BE have the same icon as a SE (a purple flag), I usually like to see a BE as that the automaton have "completed" it from a robotic point of view. I understand that the concept is that its an exception is needed to be handled manually. And i also understand that there can be several different types of exceptions (Internal, Login Failed ect), So my suggestion is that on the Exception Types configuration (System Tab), we should be able to set the icons that is shown in the work queue in control room depending on the Exception types. As an example, set an green flag instead of an purple one for BE? ... View more

Dear Blue Prism developers, I am working with Blue Prism since 2015 and literally each of our customers is asking about the same thing which is still not implemented in Blue Prism. It is some kind of view where you can see how robots are occupied with current processes in production. There is recent activity view and Timetable currently in Blue Prism but they do not show you name of the resource PC and it is a very crucial bit of information when planning robots in reality having some processes live in place. Please provide this functionality as soon as you can please! ... View more

In the current Blue Prism architecture, each resource PC will try to establish a connection to every other resource PC. This communication is not needed for standard Blue Prism functionality (scheduling, ad-hoc process runs) and is used only for some feature (eg. resource pools).  However, this communication creates spurious network traffic and most importantly raises flags with security teams monitoring network chatter. As the communication is not strictly necessary, it would be useful to be able to disable it completely. I assume there would also be a small, but measurable performance increase across the platform. Note: I do not wish to disable interactive client -> resource PC connections, as these are useful in case the RPA controller needs to "drag 'n' drop" processess. ... View more

It should be possible to define processes that are automatically executed whenever a process / VBO is executed. This allows central management of verifications (eg environment, infrastructure, ...), preparation (setting user context, clean-up caches, creating config/files, ..). This should be possible to define per runtime resource. ... View more

Hi,  currently there is the only option for warning when robot gets stuck at an action for longer time than is certain number of minutes - it is displayed in Control Room. It would be very useful to have more options here. I can think of: sending an email or sms Restarting the process Terminating the current process It would be particularly useful when running overnight processes so that in the morning the robot is not blocked by hanging process. ...

It would be really useful if the date/time since when the resource is idle, is shown next to the name. Maybe something like the image attached  Recently we came to know that a bot is idle for a long time but the controller didnt get to know about it. Regards, ... View more

When object name is changed then in all processes where this object was used it no longer exists in the actions and it should be again added for all the missing actions. It could be the same as for process - when the name is changed it still exists in other processes where it is used as it is referenced by ID I guess. ... View more

In order to be compliant with GDPR we need to delete personal data in the Blue Prism database after a given time. But, we want to keep the queue item itself for statistical use in our benefit realization model.  As of now, my understanding is that you can't change the data in an item without locking the item. And you can't lock items that are marked as completed/exception.  It would be nice if there was a built in function that let us update/delete the data field in a completed/exception work queue item so that we don't need to use SQL on the database or delete the queue item completely using the internal work queue object. ...

Dears We recolect some suggestions that we think are nice to have: Include a screenshot of the screen in VBO to be able to identify easier which screen is the one being robotized   Add the possibility to indicate the proxy address within the REST API and its credentials  Execution of exhibited processes / objects by invoking the machine pool or using a balancer (currently it is necessary to know the specific resource to use it) •Report of the VBOs and the screens automated with it •Modification of environment variables through REST interface •Improved search times for elements in applications whose tree is very large, mainly detected in applications built in java. The deeper in the element tree and more inside, the more the performance deteriorates, taking about 2 minutes to find the element.  ‘Concatenate’ processes that at the scheduled time cannot be executed if the machine is not available, so that those executions are not lost  Improved management of interactive client logs to avoid system out of memory, especially when archiving Alerting: notification via email or other channels KR ...

Create and manage Blue Prism users through command line options. Currently it is impossible to handle Blue Prism users in non-domain joined environment other than logging into the GUI and manually doing necessary modifications per every user. Environment were domain join is not possbie e.g. due to Blue Prism does not support trusts, handling users becomes very complicated and slow process very quickly. ... View more

I would suggest Blue prism to have one common Spy mode or default Spy mode for all the browser with all enhanced feature. So that it is easy to switch between browser. As of now HTML mode has more feature as compare to Browser mode. But we are mostly using Browser mode. I have written it multiple time. ... View more

When user tries to do a save as operation then created object/process goes to default location, we should have an option to save the process/object to a desired folder in the folder hierarchy of blue-prism. Currently over COE does not allow to move object here and there but we can create them, second step is to raise a service ticket to move this object/process to desired folder. This is a very basic functionality and we should have this. ... View more
