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. ... View more

Blue Prism does not specify a port on the request to the Active Directory server, so it utilizes the default port for the LDAP protocol (389). A recent security finding has identified that applications connecting to Windows Active Directory LDAP over a non-secure port 389 are vulnerable to attacks. To mitigate and completely resolve the security finding  prior to the  mandatory Microsoft Security  Patch  due  in March 2020. In E1/E2/E3 the requests to lDAP on port 389 will be nullified after Patch in March. Application teams will need to modify their connections to a secure LDAP using port 636 This is time-sensitive matter and would like to expedite a resolution, Please support this idea. Thanks, Nagarjuna Atukuri ... 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. 😃 ...

If I've understood correctly, data items and collections don't have properties such as length or number of rows. OK, BP isn't a fancy object oriented language offering full scale of tools, but... I'd like to propose that at least collections should have "Row number" as a property and strings "Length", for example. Those would be handy to use in calculations or decision without first creating an action counting the number of rows. Did some GUI mockuping as well 🙂 ... View more

The ability to see the dependency relationships for nested references in the Advanced Find search window. This search feature was available in earlier versions of Blue Prism, but has been removed in recent versions. The ability to search by nested references greatly decreases time spent trouble shooting for a Blue Prism Developer to find the actions that relate to a specific data item. The removal of this search feature means the developer is opening each action one by one to confirm what the input and output data items. The ability to search by explicit reference and nested reference provides more transparency to the developer. Examples are attached. ... View more

In Interact 4.2 there is not possible to define Form Rules which are dependent on fields which are defined on various pages. Only fields on a particular page can be used for Form Rules definition. This is quite limiting if we want to split long forms into multiple pages and define fields on page 2 (or 3 or 5) based on fields which values are entered on page 1. ... View more

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

Web API and Skills are offering an easy and fast way to use external Webservices. Unfortunately this is not possible if you need a proxy authentication and therefore you'll get message like Internal : Unexpected error Error during Web API HTTP Request HTTP Status Code: 407 HTTP Response Content: <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE> There is a workaround of using HTTP and REST VBOs instead of Web API, which will allow to set Proxy for a request, but this means that you can't use Web API and Skills here. This will a mean lot of more efforts in implementation of many use cases. So in our opinion it would be a very good feature to have such an option also für Web API and within Skills.   ​ ...

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.

When retiring a schedule, control room users sometimes accidentally click the delete button as the delete button is right below the retire button. It would be beneficial to add a warning when deleting schedules to prevent accidental deletion. It would be even more beneficial to separate the delete button from the retire button as well. If at all possible a recover function would be beneficial as well. If the schedule is deleted it will take resources, time and research to create the schedule again. If at all possible, the bare minimum would be to move the button further away from the retire button or simply add a warning. ... View more

In case a runtime resource is performing only background processes (eg. HTTP requests), it would be beneficial to have it run as a windows service. This would increase flexibility in deployment scenarios and allow BP to move further towards being used as an integration platform. In one specific usecase, we need this as the runtime resource is running on a server (which has the required ports open), but we cannot apply the GPO to prevent user logout, due to different policies applying to servers as opposed to virtual desktops. ...
