We would like to have more granular control of access rights granted to business objects and processes, where a user can be allowed to execute a process or business object and be able to update the 'Current Value' while in DEBUG mode without the possibility to save Initial Values or the process itself. This is currently only allowed through the 'Edit' permission which would defeat the scope of granting execution permissions only to first line of support.

1. Upload documents not user friendly. Can it be changed so that the user bulk uploads the documents and then selects the document type. 2. The document that you upload disappear when you change the document type, this is confusing for the user and makes them question whether something has been uploaded. The user also cannot easily see what they have uploaded before submitting.

When the Time field format is selected on a field in UX Builder, the custom masking functionality does not allow the same level of functionality that Classic & Dynamic forms provide in conjunction with the data dictionary and masking. For example, in the two screenshots below, the user can simply add numbers (such as 0930) and the form will automatically add a colon (making it 09:30), while still providing validation that would be applicable on a time field. There is currently no way to enforce a colon on a time field in UX Builder using the current masking options available. The user either has to add one manually, or additional validation needs to be performed using underlying UX Services. Neither is ideal as it differs from existing behavior.

It is my understanding that the communications print server prints one document at a time. If for some reason the current print job is corrupted or slow performing a bottleneck is created for other released documents. We'd like to see an option to print up to x (configurable) documents concurrently.

I wanted to quickly submit this as a possible bug or future improvement. Please let me know if the below information is not clear enough for reproducing the issue. Today, we encountered an issue with negative priorities on queue items in a Production automation. We will be adjusting the automation probably to not use negative priorities anymore. I just wanted to be clear that this is not or at least soon will not be affecting us anymore, but it would be good to add this to the Blue Prism Dev backlog if it's not already there. Blue Prism versions tested: 6.10.1 & 7.3.1 -- Same behavior observed in both Description of the issue: Most people only use priorities of 0+, but there are times that you may want to increase the priority of a specific work queue item to be higher than the average queue item. The only way to do that above a priority of 0 is to go into the negative numbers (or redesign the automation so that the initial priority is something like 100 or 200 etc.). What we discovered is that you cannot use the Work Queues Internal Business Object's action "Set Priority" to set a priority of -1. The error you get is "No priority specified". This is the same error you get if you use this action without providing a number. However, you can supply any other (at least 32 bit) negative number such as -2 or -200, and it will set the Priority just fine. Along with this, you can use the action "Add To Queue" and provide any negative number INCLUDING -1. This is the only way I have found to be able to use negative one as the priority is if you set it when initially adding the item to the queue. Thoughts: I don't know what Blue Prism's opinion is on this. My suspicion is that negative numbers were not intended to be allowed. But if that were the case, I would think there'd be an input validation on Add To Queue and Set Priority to require that the number is at least 0, but neither of them have such a validation. So, my request is that these two be made to have the same functionality. Either make them both not support negative numbers, or make them both support all negative numbers including -1. The problem with the first option is that you could be breaking automations for customers that rely on negative numbers in some way. The second option is probably the better solution, and the only change required is to the Set Priority action so that it handles the priority in the same way that Add To Queue does, allowing for -1 to be a valid input. Steps to recreate: To recreate this issue, create a queue item using Add To Queue. There will be no issues at this point no matter what priority you use. 1, 0, -1, -2. All of these work. Next, in some way, get the Item ID of the item you just created. It will be in the output collection of Item IDs when adding to the queue. It could also be retrieved from the output of Get Next Item, etc. Next, using the Item ID of the pending item, use the action Set Priority and give it a Priority of -1. This will fail with the error "No priority specified". Next you could try -2. This should succeed. For BP personnel: Same content submitted in Ticket #299379

The output action/form in Blue Prism Desktop is limited in functionality. All output is single data item based and is displayed stacked where the Label sits above the value of the data item. We have use cases where we want to display a large list of data items (roughly 24 fields). Found that the display of these fields required a scroll bar on the right of the BP Desktop screen and the Label/values were aligned to the left of the screen. It would be useful to allow the use of collections in output actions, provided the number of columns is limited to the width of the output form. Expanding the output form width so that it fits more data to handle a table/collection would also help. Currently the output form can only expand height-wise, not width-wise.

Hi Everyone I'm Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), What do you think about the need for a built-in code scanner in Blue Prism to ensure security and compliance? Do you think it would make a significant difference in our projects? Regards Emmanuel Katto

Currently during the import process about non information is available, like target groups or what are the items causing conflict. It would be great to have some type of preview window showing the contained items and structure similar to what is available in Releases tab. Also nice would be the creation date of the package being part of the release file. Currently the 'create' date shown in Releases tab is the date assigned by the local client, either date of creation when creating a new package or the date of import. This means when moving a release to another environment the creation date of the package there will be different to the creation date of the originating environment. It would make more sense to have creation / modify date static as part of the release and maybe add another column (eg release date) for when the package was last imported/exported.

When importing an object or release and this asset already exists in BP repository, the import process shows a screen to decide on how to resolve the conflict, with options like: overwrite, new name new ID, ... It would be helpful to have folder/group information, ie the path of this asset in the repository. There are numerous reasons why a conflict may occur and currently only the name of the object is shown. If I would also see the path (eg 'Objects\tmp\' 'Processes\My Private Sandbox\') this may help to decide on the resolution. Although I am not sure how this works with 'linked' assets. Those assets those names are shown in different location in the folder structure but all pointing to the same asset. I didn't check but is it possible to have even different names for those linked objects?! That would make the conflict resolution quite confusing anyways. (Why is there the distinction between 'associated products' versions when submitting ideas? It doesn't make sense to submit an idea to just BPE v6 anyways. And how should I know if this idea will be relevant for BPE v7 only but not for BPE v8?!)

An enhancement request from the user to change sorting order of the attachments on the case. Current Behavior: On expanding the attachments list, the oldest items shows up first. Expected Behavior: User should be able to choose and select the sorting order, oldest or newest first.

The Chorus 'ROS' functionality currently requires that all Chorus users are given access to write and/or delete files from the template directory. PLRE considers this at minimum an operational risk, as there is no way to prevent users from deleting/altering the templates and/or adding further templates which are then available to other users. We would like the Chorus ROS process to remove the requirement for update access to the template folder so that all non-admin users can have only read access.

We have ~100 resources and it would be very helpful to be able to have filter on the current status of VCI in Schedule. eg to activate the filter to only see resources in status 'warning'. This is especially helpful since groups/folder as collapsed by default (which I think is an improvement over previous version). And there is no easy way to disable 'starting private resources when BP UI starts' for all workplaces. When activating this filter, all resources meeting this filter should be shown. If necessary, groups should be expanded to make resources visible.

Currently there is no possibility to use Microsoft Edge with Office 365 environment MS Teams. Although a separate application, behaves similarly to a web browser because its framework is built on the Chromium engine, which tightly integrates with Edge. Due to this integration, BP-D blocks interaction with Teams to prevent interference, as Teams uses several web-based functions. The ideas is to allow using the whole Microsoft environment during the Desktop process running.

How can we change the setting for encryption of Email username and password? Currently when our app is connecting to email exchange server for emails it is connecting in plain text(username, password), that is in the logs of email exchange server have the id and passwords for our email boxes in plain text. We are not sending them in encrypted manner. Our application sends the username and password to exchange server with plain-text, readable format. So, is this something that we can configure from AWD console? The solution last time vendor provide for tls1.2, adding runtime parameters does not seem to handle this case. We might need a different solution or guidance to fix this issue. The Support told us that Chorus development reviewed this issue and said there isn't a setting that drives encryption for email username and password. The functionality currently does not exist. To add the functionality is considered an enhancement.
