With the start of Blue Prism, it is automatically trying to connect to any server set as default in the ComboBox of connections. This behavior is really annoying when working with multiple environments, as the user needs to wait or cancel a connection attempt if it's set to the wrong server. Also, the preemptive authentication of users is not acceptable at all. Preemptive connections should be avoided as the application should only try to connect to a server after the user confirms it Preemptive connections can decrease the performance if the user wants to connect to a different environment Preemptive connections will result in throwing the error "An active connection has been closed forcible by the server" if the same host runs multiple BP Servers, but BP tried to connect preemptively an a wrong port Authenticating users before they even entered their password is also something that should be changed: Authenticating users after they just entered their username is a violation to IT security standards. I wonder how this passed your audits. Preemptive authentication can tell an unauthorized person details about a user's account (like if the user/password expired) even if the user was not authenticated.

Embed within BP functionality for end business users to trigger bots, load queue items, make decisions all during the bot execution. As of now everything is scheduled and has very little human interaction. Ability for end user to trigger bots, send queue items to bot, and review exception items should be embedded in the tool. Many of the other RPA tools are building out or have released this feature. NO automation tool is complete without enabling smooth human to bot interaction.

currently a detailed guide is not available which will provide information on different attributes that exists in Application Modeler, a detailed guide would surely help in selecting attributes for e.g. what do we mean by Match Index or Class Name attribute etc

It would be really helpful to have extract feature for Environment variables within Blue Prism. Right now the only way we can do is from SQL Server and playing with raw database is not safe. So built-in functionality to extract env variable table would be great!

Request to have CSS and XPath support added to all browser spying mode, so that element identification (or highlighting) can be achieved using any complex CSS or XPath selector. CSS is widely used in web development and is often the way how modern websites use to implement many UI features via JavaScript. Often a web element can be identified uniquely by the use of a single expression without the use of any other attributes. It can be a much faster way in narrowing down to an element on a very large web page with thousands of elements. It may also bring benefits to pages that are dynamic in nature, e.g. an element may not always appear in the same PATH hierarchy. I am aware that a user may specify XPath expressions against "Web Path" attribute when using Google Chrome and Firefox plugins. XPath however is not being supported by the IE mode.

When dealing with complex and dynamic HTML pages, it's not always possible to use the Path attribute to identify elements on the page because the path structure can change based on other elements displayed before the field we want to use. Often those HTML elements don't have an ID property (which would allow to spy them quickly) and the use of other attributes combination doesn't always perform well. This could be solved (not always but in many cases) if we could modify the HTML source adding an ID property to that specific element. My suggestion is to provide an action that executes a search&replace on the HTML source in order to give the developer a way to add an ID property to an element and then retrieves the PATH of that element (i.e. “/HTML/BODY(1)/DIV(4)/DIV(2)/DIV(6)/DIV(3)/DIV(1)/DIV(1)/H2(1) ) that can be used afterward with Read and Write stages. I uploaded a screenshot with a possible example of the action parameters. In that example the action would retrieve the PATH string of the element before the label "Popular Broadway Shows".

I think that "Set next stage" command should get a hotkey, so that a developer could click at an Action and press the hotkey (instead of the right-click menu) to set next stage to it. It is just a tiny 1-2 seconds saving, but given the frequency "Set next stage" is used, the benefit to the users would be huge...

When a developer opens a locked process in the studio, they have the option of unlocking it or every locked process in the environment. It's common sense to not unlock all processes but it's an unnecessary risk to have this option uncontrolled. It would be ideal if there was notification sent to the developer who has the object locked so that they can accept or deny the unlock request. Similar to how remote desktop connections work when a user connects to a machine someone else is already connected to.

We are attempting to filter queue tags ("close;cancel") Items in the queue are tagged either close or cancel. When we step over the get next item and there are tagged items in the queue, nothing is locked. Doing some research, it appears that BP considers the semicolon as an "AND" when filter. The workaround for your current situation would be to search once using the first tag, then search again using the other. This would return the results set(s) containing "X" OR "Y". I would like to see BP add a way to filter a work queue using an "OR" operator

As a developer we need ease of creating web service connection and action based on endpoints available . we are looking for step by step wizard which can help to automatically load all the methods or endpoints in a given web service, be it REST or SOAP, as long as the provided link includes the services' definition - Swagger or WSDL. Once loaded select from which endpoints or methods to automatically create actions under Web service window instead of creating them one by one. Something similar already exists in UiPath and other platforms.
