When creating a new process or object, make the default behaviour be that the user selects a template. This will promote Best Practice, a 'house' style and discourage 'one of a kind' developments. Granted this is already possible via Save As but encouraging the use of templates will bring many benefits to the delivery sequence. (Thanks to DD for the idea) ... View more

White building a test suite that will be used for validation and for regression testing , it will be useful after running this test suite to have a kind of code coverage (or Process stages coverage)  informations. This code coverage can provide us with statistics like: ·         % of items in the process we didn’t path through. (it will be a good coverage indicator) ·         A list of these Items so we can enrich our test and enhance our test coverage. ·         Number of times we passed in the same path or sequence, so we can optimize our test suite by reducing test without compromising quality. ·         Object and objects ’actions called during these tests. ·         Credentials not used, Queues not used, … ·         …. This code coverage will also help identifying in production what objects are no more used and which paths in the processes we never go through in production. ... View more

​The first page of the discovery tool asks for the reason for automation, and one of the options is 'risk'. This then doesn't appear to be considered anywhere else within the tool or within the prioritisation matrix. Is there a way we can add these in somewhere to add weight to the prioritisation if the process is being automated on the basis of risk reduction rather than concentrating on FTE saving alone? Thanks ... View more

​Where a number of similar processes are raised for the same area, these all need to be keyed in individually - so we need to keep track of what prefix is being used and what answers were given to each question (so that they can be modified accordingly and in proportion to other processes). Would is be possible to add a 'Create copy' button to existing items? Thanks​ ... View more

If we get the name of the exe or process when we spy the element it will be useful for developers.  For Example, if i am working on SAP application and i have to save as a document into PDF, here save as dialogue should be attached with different business object, it is tough to find what is the process name of the save as dialogue. So if we have a attribute or information while spying that what is the process name blueprism is trying to spy it will be very useful for the developers. ... View more

Provide an automatic refactoring update to any renamed data item. Although renaming should not be done willy-nilly, it is a common task during development.  As your process grows it can become burdensome to manually have to find references and rename each occurrence of data item.  If a rename could be detected, prompt offered to confirm with list of potential updates, that would be very helpful. potentially useful and core capability for other renaming/adjustment tasks such as renaming components, page references, etc. ...

Although the code stage offers great ability to extend Blue Prism, the development experience is not good.   It would great to have some level of formal integration with Visual Studio, or other applicable IDEs, for a better development flow. Clicking on the the code tab in BP would launch Visual Studio and saving would bring code and libraries into BP.  Ability to fully test code in the IDE, even while debugging a VBO. stepping into a code stage would launch VS into active debug mode and then back out.  More transparency and visibility into missing libraries, global code issues, code validation errors would be great. ...

On the tool's INPUT: Human Worker Profile section it would be good if there was another of capturing the process costs. For example, for some of the processes we are automating we are charged per transaction as opposed to FTE based which is the only option on the tool.  It would also be good if you could export the process assessment results to Excel. We can extract some information but cannot see the further detail we have inputted in to the assessment (no of screens, no of paths etc) without clicking the edit icon to view the whole assessment again.

If I create a schedule in Blue Prism, it shows as the name of the schedule with the scheduled processes underneath. When I click on a process, it allows me to set the next process that will run on that schedule after the currently selected process finishes. The trouble is that the processes can be arranged in any order under the name of the schedule, even if that order isn't representative of their running order. For instance, if I have a schedule called Count, and under that schedule are processes 1, 2, and 3 in numerical order. At first glance, you'd think that they'd run in that order. However, if you click on each individual process, 3 could run first, and then 1, then 2, all based on the contents of the On Complete combo box. I'd like to see the processes reorder themselves under the schedule name based on the On Complete contents. One step further would be to allow drag and drop functionality of the processes in a particular schedule to change their order, and have the On Complete contents automatically change based on that position. I think that if the drag and drop functionality were added, and that the order of the processes under the schedule name was the actual running order of the processes, the On Complete contents wouldn't even be needed, potentially freeing some real estate for something else. I would assume this would eliminate the need for the Initial Task combo box that is displayed on the screen that appears when you select the schedule's name. ------------------------------ Tracy Lovett RPA Developer I Synovus Columbus, Georgia, USA ------------------------------ ...

Rather than have a process on a schedule set to periodically check a queue for data to work, add an optional work queue setting to automatically kick off a process on a designated resource/pool once there are items to be worked. This would remove the need for 24/7 monitoring processes which may quickly fill the various log tables, while lowering the traffic throughput to the controller/database. Work queues can be populated by new and/or existing feeder processes. ... View more

If a process has a high-volume of items to work, allow multiple processes to run the same process simultaneously. This would drastically drive up the savings-per-process, and may give some more meaning to Work Queue prioritization. ... View more

I think a Blue Prism license for academic/training purposes is a necessary evolution in Blue Prism's future. Currently, partners get an internal use license (5 sessions) that can be used by any of the partner's employees and that license is not intended for production use even though I am not aware of any actual limitation by the license file other than concurrent sessions. I'm suggesting a similar license but one with feature limitations instead of concurrent session limitations.​ For example, the license itself could contain instructions for which parts of Blue Prism should be available once the license is installed in a BP environment. Scheduler could be disabled or there could be a limit to how many users can be added to the BP environment. I assume this might take an update to Blue Prism itself along with an update to the licenses, but I think it's worth it. I have more to share as always, but I'm trying to limit the words here. 😃 ...
