I've been working in a project that has 4 big processes, each one of them with his own Environment Variables (lots of them) would be nice if there's any way to group them by folders or something like that, Would help in the organization of the project itself and will be faster to look for a varaible that just one process need. ...

When we went through the initial process of being sold Blue Prism we were told that we could slow down our processes so that our customers didn't necessarily need to know that we were using RPA to work their websites. It was only once we went through the initial training that we were told the only way to do this was to build in wait stages throughout our process. Could we not have a speed slider against the process, like we do in debug mode? For external processes we can then slow it down, but without having to factor in wait stages. ... View more

Would it be nice to have a bar of some sorts, when debugging (pressing play) that a tool bar is made available in order to pause during the debugging. Especially in Surface Automation, when each time i'm trying to pause, the process brings the the target application forward and you struggle to pause. I even end up closing the entire BP, just so that the process can stop. ... View more

Context: Mechanism to store encryption key (DB and App server File System) and protecting it from system administrator against misuse. Use case: 1 Currently, encryption key and encrypted data both are stored in db, By virtual of Blue Prism design, encryption key can be stored in database or File System (FS) on App Server. No other option is available. 1. DBA access: We can move encryption key to App server and restrict dba access to app server. 2. Wintel / Blue Prism administrator access: They would have access to App server FS, wherein they also have access to Blue prism database (limited access though) for maintenance activity. This is causing issue. Requirement:The requirement is to store encryption key in any other tool (like IBM PIM - Product Information Management), where administrator should not have access to. Use case 2: When user navigates to encryption key using Blue Prism user interface, the log is also not recorded. Requirement: I believe this is essential for any audit compliance. ... View more

​In the system settings of the Blue Prism interactive client there is an option "start a personal Runtime Resource on this machine when users log in to Blue Prism" It would be great if we could just right click on a process in control tab and would have an option like "Run on current Resource". Right now, if a user wants to start a process on his personal Resource he has to lookup his machine in the Resources section. This can be really time consuming. ... View more

​Right now the version history of an object / process only shows us the date and time of a saved change including a small portion of the text provided on saving. There is no column for storing a process-/ object-version. I think it is nessecary - especially if you have multiple Blue Prism environments - that you can store a version info for processes/objects. This info should be shown in the version history and transfered to other environments by importing releases and XML-files. Let's say you have an Environment for developing, one for testing and one for production. You could end up with three different versions in those environments at a given time. The date and time of the change is not enough to my opinion, because - this info is lost when importing a release - you could roll back to an older version by exporting and importing. This old version would then be on the top of the list with a new timestamp. What do you think about the possibility to set a version inside the process-/object-Studio? ... View more

Right now, only Session Logs/Published Dashboards/Custom Object Data can be sent to the output by Data Gateways. It would be great if Windows Event Logs of Runtime Resources could be sent to the output because we can obtain and analyze the event logs at nearly real time by, say, Splunk. When the Runtime Resources are Physical Desktops, it would be great helpful. ... View more

We have a pretty big RPA developer community for which our central operations team needs to manage the credentials as we cannot grant everyone the "Manage Credentials" permissions. This is because with "Manage Credentials" permission everyone would be able to change the Password and/or update the "Access Rights" settings for any credential even without knowing the current Password - which is pretty bad. So we are trying to automate the credential management but here again, it's apparently not possible without UI automation of Blue Prism itself as there is no other way to set the "Access Rights" for a given credential than via the UI. It would be great if there would be either  a) a simple API which would allow creation of credentials (including Access Rights settings) in an automated fashion b) [preferred option] a better access management / authorization check for credential management, so that we could just grant everyone the "manage credentials" permission and if they have the current password they can update/delete the credential if they want to; if not, they will not be able to edit the credential. Only System Admins should probably still be able to edit any credential without having to provide the current password. ... View more

Suppose there is a web page we're interested in modelling for an RPA process. we access it via Chrome (because other browsers do not render the page appropriately or consistently) to the naked eye, it contains one or more tables having real-time data. As a result, the tables are rendered dynamically (i.e. the underlying HTML source does not contain the Old School <table><tr><td> tags... but various layers of <DIV> and <SPAN> tags). depending upon various filters used in the business process, the table presentations are not always consistent (the tables won't always have the same number of rows or columns; the columns won't always be in the same order; etc.) the most stable and consistent feature of these dynamic tables (regardless of the current visible manifestation of these tables) is that one or more Attributes of an HTML tag for a cell in these tables describes the nature of data in that particular cell. For example -- if, in a particular table cell, web text is contained by the tag '<DIV column-name="employee-last">' we know the web text corresponds to the last name of an employee AND any other web text in that table whose DIV tag contains the 'column-name="employee-last"' attribute ALSO will be the either the last name of an employee OR the heading of the Employee Last Name column. It would be valuable to be able to include HTML Tag Attribute information in Attributes that define Elements in the Chrome Application Modeller. Currently, we cannot. The next best thing we can do is read data from the dynamic table that we "guess" to be from an appropriate cell in the table, have Blue Prism read the key HTML Tag Attribute and return its value, if the Attribute value corresponds to the value we expect, we accept the associated data... if NOT, we take another guess until we find a cell containing the right HTML Tag Attribute. I had intended to attach a release of a self-contained BluePrism Chrome Object, but the ideas portal considers that to be unsupported for the purposes of uploading to the portal. The object would have contained two actions, "Read From AG Grid Web_ Element" and "Read From AG Grid Expressions and Context." Each action, Launches a different public-facing web page in Chrome... each web page contains dynamic tables built by the owner of the website (each web page has the same owner)... the owner of the website is a commercial enterprise that sells bundles of Javascript Web controls to web developers so those developers can build pages that connect to data sources and display real-time dynamic tables. Reads one of two headings (based on the True or False setting of the Data Stage in brown text above the Start stage of each object) of one of the dynamic tables for its HTML Path, its Bounds, and the value an HTML Attribute of the heading... its "col-id" Attribute, to be specific. Calculates from the Web Path of the heading, a Regex expression which, when used as a Dynamic attribute for a Web Path, SOMETIMES finds data from the rows below the heading that relate to the heading in question. Conducts a search for data presumed to be in the column corresponding to the Heading we read. Confirms whether the data has the same "col-id" Attribute value as the Heading... if so, it returns the value of the Web Text... if NOT, an Index is incremented and another search is executed. Typically, this workaround is such a drag on RPA process performance, it is not viable.   In short... the workaround utilizes the HTML Tag Attribute "After The Fact." Incorporating it into the definition of an Element in the Application Model would utilize the Tag Attribute "Before The Fact" -- and much more efficiently.  The desired enhancement: In the Attributes section of the Element Details of the Application Modeller for a Blue Prism Chrome Object, add the following Attribute Names: Web Attribute 1: Attribute Name  Web Attribute 1: Attribute Value Web Attribute 2: Attribute Name Web Attribute 2: Attribute Value IF Both the Name and Value of Attribute 1 are set to Match: True in the Application Model, then Blue Prism should consider these settings to be related. Similarly for Name/Value of Attribute 2. Examples: Setting {Web Attribute 1: Attribute Name -- Match: True; Match Type: = (Equal); Value: "column-id"...  Web Attribute 1: Attribute Value -- Match: True; Match Type: = (Equal); Value: "employee-last"} means "only consider web elements where one of the Attributes of the HTML Tag is named 'column-id' and the value of the 'column-id' Tag is 'employee-last'" Setting {Web Attribute 1: Attribute Name -- Match: True; Match Type: = (Equal); Value: "column-id"...  Web Attribute 1: Attribute Value -- Match: False} means "only consider web elements where one of the Attributes of the HTML Tag is named 'column-id' regardless of that Tag's value" Setting {Web Attribute 1: Attribute Name -- Match: False... Web Attribute 1: Attribute Value -- Match: True; Match Type: = (Equal); Value: "employee-last"}  means "only consider web elements where at least one of HTML Tag's Attributes has the value of 'employee-last' regardless of that Tag's name" ...

Access rights management for credentials should be presented in tree view with the structure based on group definition in Studio tab and Resource Management in System tab. Additional group view for security roles would be appreciated in System tab \ Security \ User Roles as well as the Access rights window (both for Access rights management and for group Access rights in Studio tab).  Currently, user roles in Access rights management are not even ordered, neither for Credentials, nor for groups in Studio tab. This should enable to grant credential usage to single processes and whole groups of processes (eg all processes of department Accounting when defined as group in Studio). ... View more
