It will be great to add a feature for Browsers to read the "Item Value"(DOM Value) of the selected item in an HTML combo box?
Please find the example below:
I want to read the Item value(DOM Value) which is "/m/02gsvk". This will help in many scenarios where value remains same and the selected text changes according to the local language setting of the site.

When you are running several resources I find that I would want to add a comment in resource management that can show up in control room. Great way to comment on which resources are installed with which software, for example. Grouping can provide some of this, but sometimes you would need further information on which resource is meant to do what. If having < resources and this can be a small issue, but with 10+, especially if your IT sets up machines with random names that can not be altered, this can start off being an issue.

Blue Prism should include recommended Process/object templates when we do fresh installation of blue prism. So that Users/Entry level developers will understand how a process should be designed. Other Vendors has already these type of templates eg. Background process Template, Robotic Enterprise Framework. It would be great, if blue prism provides these similar templates as per their standards.

Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it. When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool: Page: ABC Stage: XYZ Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff Repairable: No The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties. Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history. Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows: - When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one - When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one This has been tested on the following versions: 6.4.2 6.4.4 6.8.0

Instead of creating separate schedules, when a schedule is completed ,it should trigger another schedule.

Many times we use nested loops in our processes. It would be easier to analyze the flow if the Loop End is also highlighted when we click on Loop Start stage

The idea is to have a list of weekdays (Mon-Sun) to select from when specifying the time plan for a Schedule. This way it is easy to let a Schedule run eg every Mon, Wed of a week. This is an enhanced version of the current 'weekly' time plan, where only one day can be selected. Currently (BP v6.9 for us) there are two options to achieve several runs on different weekdays: - create weekly schedule and duplicate for each weekday - create a new calendar and select the wanted weekdays only Both ways are not very intuitive and more difficult to maintain

One of our client, who is a dedicated user of Blue Prism Interact for multiple processes, has voiced a valuable suggestion for an enhancement.
They express the need to include URLs as a column type in the Table Field directly, allowing for seamless navigation without the need to copy and paste into a separate browser.
Currently, URLs can only be added as text, requiring additional steps to access them.
Implementing this feature would greatly enhance the automation experience for our client and add substantial value to the platform.
I kindly request the consideration of this enhancement for inclusion in upcoming versions of Blue Prism Interact.

It would really help to simplify complex schedules if Blue Prism could allow for schedules to be defined by CRON expressions.

We noticed the following SQL query runs which causes a block on the Blue prims database and causes performance issues: SELECT count(*) as TotalItems FROM BPVWorkQueueItem i LEFT JOIN BPVSessionInfo s ON i.sessionid = s.sessionid WHERE i.queueid=@queueid AND (i.keyvalue is null OR i.keyvalue like @itemkey) AND i.state in (1,3) Our suggestion: Consider using SELECT COUNT(1) to just count the number of records. This will give you the same results much faster without the unnecessary reads

Its pretty common that we save our work as we build automations. Also once we get to a point we deploy the automation to Production for example we dont really need to retain very old versions. For example lets say this is now the 4th release of a process to production I will not need to retain the work done for version 1 and version 2 but would like to keep version 3. At the same time I would not want to keep all the work in between version 3 and version 4 once all testing has been completed and confirmed it works. What I would recommend is giving a function in Blue Prism, with role permissions to keep this limited, to be able to delete old saves of objects and Processes. As each one of these saves keeps the xml data of the entire object / process larger ones can become a problem with loading and impact overall performance of the Blue Prism system use for developers. For example imagine if we could delete everything in development for this process that was not highlighted:

I observed that the Click Action in Navigate stage doesn't works after spying any element(Like Button) in Browser mode in Blue Prism V6.9.0. The Spying works perfectly all the time, Even the verify action in Navigate stage also highlights the element perfectly at Run time but when executing the click action, it seems like clicking at the top left corner of the screen in that particular application. Please check for this possibility in current and upcoming versions.

As a Chorus user, I'd like to be able to specify (independent of locale, browser settings, or system configuration) how dates appear in Chorus. This should include both entry fields and other places (such as history) where dates are presented.
While it is possible for Chorus process developers to control input fields in form design, the options are limited, and this does not change other areas such as history, which results in further user confusion. This also does not address a single process used in different regions with differing standard date formats, where the only current solution is the creation of multiple otherwise identical forms.
One suggestion is to enable an additional user preference, as this would cater for Chorus implementations where a single solution (set of processes) is used across multiple geographies.

Hello, Time to time VM resources and servers needs time for maintenance breaks. This can happen in scheduled (like once a month) or ad-hoc manner. It would be time-saving feature that you can schedule a maintenance breaks by resource / by pool.
Why?
- Currently every schedule needs to be expired manually and they need to put back when the maintenance break is over. - Normally these SQL server/ App-server maintenance breaks happens in night-time and they last from 1h up to 4h. - At environments, where are dozens or hundreds of schedules, this is taunting task to do on monthly basis. - By marking "maintenance break" for certain time slot -> Schedules do not try to start on that time interval. It will save manual work + night time runs will start after the marked maintenance breaks time slot is passed. - Process controller does not need to remember put the schedules back on next day.

Raising this enhancement to get option to export Decipher Audit Logs into any file format. from Web Portal
We are using Decipher v2.3 for BP 7.1.1 Environment.
We require to save the Audit logs into our security system for auditing purpose. Decipher v2.3 does not have option to export the logs and we are only able to view the logs on the Decipher Web Portal.

It would be absolutely great if we could have dynamic references in inputs and outputs for actions and functions. Basically if we can use a calculation to create a dynamic reference for a collection field for example. That way we could automatize dynamic collections. Example: instead of having the input as a static reference eg. [Collection.Field1] we can use a calculation to change that dynamically, for example increase it and loop eg. [Collection.Field]

Hi Team , As documentation is a important part of every process journey . Documents like Technical Design , Solution design or Object design mostly contains information which we we are filling in our Blue prism database or is already a part of our .bprelease file(which is indirectly a xaml file). We can make this automated VBO which which can create a skeleton for us containing information like -
Release Details
All Process
All Objects
Credentials
Work Queue
Environment Variable
System Exception
Business Exception
Description of Processes and Object
Published Process
and many others like this , which can be again looked and corrected by developers if needed . This skeleton(draft) of files using this VBO will save a hell lot of time for any developer.

No Doubt that Blueprism has the best-unattended automation capabilities, but it would be better if we can make running the attended bots easier- a simple console from where one can run their bots seamlessly. I believe this would be helpful and add more fun for process SMEs (Non-technical) running their bots.

There is a checkbox to have skill panel on right hand side. When unchecked it is hidden but when you reopen the studio BP does not remember the setting and it is always visible. This needs a fix.

Good morning, guys, I hope you're all right. So... Recently I've been talking to some colleagues and we discussed how Golive is done today from automationin productions, we exchanged some ideas and arrived in CICD, So we had the idea why the blueprism doesn't have a native, configurable CICD? This would certainly help in the day-to-day operation and would give more robustness to the tool
