Quite often I need to copy something from the BP UI to use in an errand, a document, an email, ... The things I need to copy on a regular basis are:
Process name
Environment variable values
...
The easy way would be to mark the text to be copied in the UI, do a right-click and chose Copy (or a Ctrl+C). Unfortunately, the UI does not allow these, and other, texts to be marked and subsequently copied. This leaves only the 'visual copy and manual paste' option open. Note that I can copy at least the values of Environment variables in the Development environment, but the Production environment in View mode does not allow for this. The contents of most Environment variables do not really lend themselves for a manual copy and paste, as it is quite easy to make mistakes in things like long values for file-paths. Long ago I got fed up with the UI's inability to copy the process names, so I put these in an XL for more easy reuse. Now for my proposal: Could you make more elements in the BP UI available for marking and copying? Happy coding! --------------- Paul Sweden

We currently have to ask for a report of the log entries for where Blue Prism has accessed our environment on a ADHOC basis. We would like to be able to set up a monthly report which we receive without the request.

As we're iterating through a collection, there are a number of cases where we want to make updates to the input data. When these data sets are in the thousands of rows, it's typically better on memory usage to use the same Collection in the input and output tabs.
One of the .NET quirks of this dataset, is that making these sorts of changes will set the current row to 1 each time. So if you use a Collection within a Loop stage and make changes to the Collection within that same Loop, you'll end up creating an infinite loop because it will never reach the last row. It would be useful to have an action in the Internal Object for Collections to set DataGrid.CurrentRowIndex or something equivalent in order to prevent these infinite loop scenarios.

I have a business case where business wants to use Interact for stocking purposes. In this case, they want to be able to update availability of an item and would like to do it through a Interact form. The issue is, they do not want the update to be applied the same day it is submitted nor any date in the past. Currently, the date field will block previous dates and block future dates. However, in no configuration I've been able to configures does Interact allow you to block the current days date from being select. I'm currently having to add this logic into the process layer which works but seems to have been an extra step that didn't need to be developed in this manner.
I would like to see the ability to block the current days date from being select similar to the "past dates" and "future dates" option on the form.

Testing Blue Prism Decision it showed an error message. Something like "Something went wrong" was too vague. If I were a customer, I wouldn't know what to do. It would be nice to have Error Message and Diagnosis manual, which helps save troubleshooting time.

Hi, I would like Interact users to resize columns in form tables based on their requirements. Currently the columns are fixed size and the user has no option to resize the columns where some can contain only few characters whereas others can contain longer data. Regards Zdenek

Currently scripting is intended to enable automated unattended installation and configuration of BP services. With BP 7.x the default sign-on configuration is native user/password and there is no way on changing this configuration without accessing GUI. Please add CLI commands and switches to change the sign-on configuration for BP service via automate / automateC.

Currently the available options are: <name> <encryptionmethod> Please also add <encryptionkey> so existing keys can be reused for already existing environments (with already encrypted data) Please also add a new command to export existing encryption key: /exportencryptionkey <name> <destinationfilename> This comes in very handy to create a backup when running a scripted BP configuration (configure BP & service + create backup of essential data).

When running a Click stage in Edge Browser mode using an element with JavaScript in the "href" attribute, MV3 extension throws error but MV2 extension executes the stage correctly. A workaround flow for MV3 is:
1. Read the "href" value of the element and if it includes JavaScript:
2. Use "Set Attribute" to set the "href" value in the "onclick" attribute
3. Use "Set Attribute" to set empty value in the "href" attribute
4. Run Click Element via browser mode Since this code will be required for every browser click to be able to handle this scenario (JavaScript in "href"), I would suggest to incorporate this flow in BluePrism code in order to ensure the backwards compatibility of Click for the MV3 extension.

Currently (v7.1) if any of the objects and/or processes are locked by another user wile importing the release, the import terminates, throwing an internal error: Giving the option to unlock the given object(s) or process(es), would save a lot of wasted effort... as if more than one item of the import list is locked, this will pop up repeatedly, terminating the import after each single resolution.

I'm in the process of re-building forms and migrating from thoughtonomy to interact. Through the design and build stage, i can't find a way to stop submissions. For example in the Thoughtonomy platform, we would have a radio button with 4 options, 2 of which we would continue with the form/journey and 2 of which would indicate that not enough information is available. If these 2 options were selected a 'text paragraph' would be presented with some help text guiding the agent in the right direction. We would also have a 'mandatory' field with its role set to hidden and another rule basically saying that if the 2 incorrect options are selected the mandatory field becomes mandatory (although still hidden). This would stop the agent submitting the case however i'm unable to replicate this in interact, as any time a field is made mandatory it becomes visible. Can a status be introduced where the rules do not override the initial state allowing us to stop submission and reduce exceptions?

I've seen an issue within interact where a radio button or select drop down with multiple choice selections and has different rules associated to each selection, the rules are not dynamic if an incorrect selection is chosen but then corrected. For examples What are of the country do you live? South East South West North East North West If South East was selected incorrectly and South West was then selected both the rules associated to each selection would appear. This means agents are having to refresh forms to avoid mistakes leading to higher handling times and issues with engagement.

When a front end user is completing a form, they have to tab/click out of a field they are completing to enable rules to kick in. For example a lot of my forms have their fields 'initial state' set to hidden, so only 1 filed is present at a time, but to have the next field appear an agent would need to click out of it or Tab to allow the rule to 'kick-in'. We've come across examples of agents pressing enter which allows the submission of the form, even with subsequent filed to complete which will ultimately lead to a high level of exceptions if this can not be rectified.

Using 7.0.0 - Unlock All Processes currently loses all unsaved code changes for all other developers. Providing a Warning message would greatly reduce the chances of lost code changes. Restricting the Unlock All Processes functionality to Administrators would also be an effective solution to this problem.

Sometimes we need to search a lot of items in a queue to set as an exception or to change the deferral date and is quite sweaty to do only one search at a time. There could be a way to search for more than one, for example, searching item keys between semicolons (;) or quotes(").

In our shop, when we are ready with a process adjustment, we do the 4i check and the 'Process Comparison' window helps us with that. After the approved 4i check we can deploy the changes to production. This time, I got a change count exceeding 300 and spread all over the place. At that point the 'Process Comparison' window becomes less useful, if not useless. This has happened before when doing major overhaul on a process stretched over longer time. In these cases, instead of the compare window, it would be much more helpful to present the differences in a report, say XL or CSV. I can then filter and highlight the relevant changes and present only these in the 4i meeting. Happy coding! ---------------- Paul Sweden

This would help reduce the number of Environment Variables and help collapse / consolidate numerous environment variables into one single Environment Variable name which makes management / use of these a lot easier/efficient.

Secure Active Directory queries using gMSAs instead of password-secured service accounts
Since 7.1 the only option for querying active directory domains that require authentication other than the account running BP Server is to provide the details of a service account in the Active Directory Domains configuration section in Sign-on settings
Our security policy requires that password-secured accounts have passwords that expire daily. This is unmanageable in 7.1 as it would require us to update the stored passwords in Blue Prism immediately after the passwords have changed
Ideally, we would be able to secure the Active Directory queries with a gMSA
Also, add an option to create gMSA user. Currently when we try to add AD user it only list/search the AD accounts, it is not searching the Managed Service account (MSA/gMSA). -- Get-ADSServiceAccount This will help to run the runtime as gMSA account.

With resource pools, it is not possible to execute all tasks of a scheduler on the same resource. Example: We have 3 resources in a resource pool (VM1, VM2, VM3). When I create a scheduler, I always have 3 tasks (I am sure this is the case for many customers):
- Windows login - process - Windows logout
If I now run a scheduler on the resource pool, the following happens: The login process logs into VM1. The actual process is trying to run on VM2. The logout process tries to log out on VM3.
We want all tasks from a scheduler to run on the same resource in the resource pool. This is important because of security reasons. We have set it up in such a way that each process has its own Windows user, which has limited access rights to directories etc.

There are no data visualization tools to help process all the values in the table.
In our tables, we normally have hundreds of rows of data and it is tedious to look through all of it without a general idea of the data we have.
Hence, we would like to suggest a starting point which is to introduce simple charts and graphs into Interact.
