Have the ability to capture, track and transfer end user and/or terminal details for traceability • I.e... Requirement via Interact for example to capture; end user details (Human Agent Application User ID who triggered or submitted the process), IP address, date and time of submit requests, browser details etc etc and also have the ability to transfer these details or make these available within Blue Prism through the life of the automated process This is required for Audit & Internal Fraud purposes

The fact that only the latest screenshot is shared per VM, not linked to which process / queue item that was processing, is not very convenient. The following features would make this functionality more powerful in terms of debugging & troubleshooting;
store a (browsable) history of screenshots, not just the latest
create a link between screenshots and their triggering exceptions example usage: open screenshot, click 'go to exception' and immediately have the process/VBO open with the screenshot next to it, ready to debug.
link queue exceptions to their respective screenshots example usage: when looking at a certain failed queue item, click 'view screenshot' (if available) and see what went wrong for this specific queue item.

Hi, I would like to see, that we can right-click on an object/a process in studio tab and get an export-Option instead of the export-function in the menu bar. That would save some clicks. Thanks Christian

Hi Team, It would be great if we can able to create Parent and Child relationship between two elements spied using Application Modeller. For Example we have Username Field and Label then if we can able to make Username Field as Parent and Field as respective child. Then we do not have to use Match index or some other technique. Blue Prism already have this feature for Surface automation. It would be great if we can get it for web based and Other application too. Many times we are facing issue for these scenarios. Note:- In Chrome I can achieve this using Real Xpath but if Blue Prism Has this feature explicitly then It would be great. So that we can use it across all the application. Most of the tools now a days these features are available. Thanks!

Hi to everyone ! I have the following idea. When you are developing a process and you do a test, if an object was a wait to big, for any reason, it would be nice if Blue Prism let you to break the WAITING state from the object and try it again without any kind of refresh buttton (to avoid lossing your current data in variables).

My team and I have mentioned several times amongst ourselves that it would be great if BluePrism enabled the creation of folders for Schedules and Packages. Now that our team has been building processes for several years our list of Schedules and Packages has gotten quite large and the ability to folder these processes would be a huge help in cleaning up a large list.

Currently there is no limit for the creation of work queue item tags and no in built feature for maintenance. This can lead to performance issues. There is a sql housekeeping script that can be used to remove unused tags afterwards. But there are better solutions for that. Here are some recommendations on how to improve the situation.
Add a tag count limit which is configurable via system settings.
max number of tags [number]
warn on sign for user with role? [list with selectable roles]
warn via email to sysadmin-mailbox? [on/off] (nice to have)
email adress of sysadmin-mailbox [text] (nice to have)
Add an in product feature for cleaning up tags
remove unused only
remove unique only
The check if the tag limit exceeded should be run once a day. The cleanup procedures should be schedulable or run via command line.

When it comes to logging the activity of stages, there are three different possibilities (active, inactive, error only). Usually certain stages should be logged and others don't need to be logged. As you can change this staus for each state individually, for a selected group of stages or all stages at the same time, at some point in later devopment one might wonder about the logging status of all stages. --> I propose to add a mode in the process / object studio, where all stages are colored according to their logging status. Just by a click of a button it can be (de)activated and one can easily move through the graph to investigate all status' and doesn' t have to click on each stage individually to investigateits status.

When copying a page P from process A to process B all references on page P to other pages are lost (although the references may point to other previously copied pages). Presumably the references would not be lost if multiple pages (P and the referenced pages) could be copied at the same time. Could this be added to BP?

Hi Team, When Blue Prism releases major or minor we get email notification. Similarly, when new add-ons/extras or VBOs are added outside of the product. Can we get a notification? Just a example, we are using WorkQueue Report, JAB, MAPIE, whenever there's any new version of these comes available in the portal. Its good to get an alert for the customers to check for the new updates. Its very difficult for each developer or developer lead to check the portal daily to check for updates. Let me know if this makes sense.

We want to search an specific text inside data item and stages, but it seems blue prism is not searching the items content, only items name.
First I have a data item called File Path.
The Data Item properties looks like the next screen. (Focus on the Initial Value)
Then, in process studio, I want to make a text search, by using the input text to Find Text.
Yes, I want to search to text “file.txt” inside the whole process to see which data item has this value, but there are not results for this search.
This is my concern.

As many web automation developers know, Blue Prism is not ideal/very fast in regards to web elements, especially on certain frameworks. Chrome itself is not ideally handled in Blue Prism at all, especially the need for specific versions etc. All this can be resolved simply by creating a new mode specific for Chrome with the use of the Puppeteer library. I believe, this would open the door for Blue Prism into web RPA using Chrome where people need fast speed, which is not possible with current Blue Prism capabilities.

A timeout, configurable or globally set for the highlight function in Application Modeller would be highly useful, as sometimes it seems to be for some reason it "hangs", simply trying to find the element and basically not happening for several minutes, even the element was just spied a moment ago. This applies to all versions of BP as I have seen this on many. It applies to all spy modes too, it mostly is happening on HTML but I have seen it on AA as well. Basically, we could say, that if it is not possible to highlight within 2 minutes, it should abort and report a failure. As when this happens, the only way is to force kill the application, which is not desired.

Ability to see if any BP clients are connected to BP server, if they have any objects opened etc. We can already see if there is any activity from resource PCs, but there is no information about normal BP clients. For example, if we need to reboot BP server, we need to know if anybody is currently working on something, has opened objects etc As I would assume a developer working on a process would probably loose some work during a server reboot. A system workaround I had to use is relatively simple, but internal BP functionality with more detailed information would be very useful. "netstat -a 1 | findstr 8199" - simple enough to see if anything is connected to the 8199 port

You should be able to edit retired schedules. Currently the only way to edit a schedule is if it is live, which poses a risk that the schedule may run before the changes you need to make are made. For example, I have a retired schedule where I wish to change the calendar used from a Mon - Fri to Tues only, but if I unretire this on a Friday to edit it, the schedule will run straight away, before I am able to update the calendar which would tell it not to run on a Friday.

Hey Blue Prism Team & Community, unfortunatly there is no way to authenticate at a Webservice with the currently logged in user using Blue Prisms WebAPI as the support told me. You have to store your credentials in the credentials section and select them directly from the WebAPI. There is no way to dynamically change the user to the currently logged in user. This could be easily enabled by adding a Checkbox or an option to the WebAPI common authentication types which sets "UseDefaultCredentials=true" at the outgoing request. For anyone else comming up with the same question my simply advice would be to not to use Blue Prisms WebAPI feature and better build up your own request using the HTTP Utility VBO.

HI team, The GUI does not provide an ability to reset the Archive logs action if it already been triggered and due to some reason if the archive fails. System Admins should have the ability to reset the Archive Flag as large organizations do not grant access to the Database due to security limitations.

There should be a checkbox and in the App Modeller where you can hold the currently selected attributes. Example: Once you have decided the best attributes to describe elements for a given application, normally you would then just use those same attributes for a lot of elements that get modelled for that application. This would speed up Dev time when creating objects. It would also mean that Devs would spend longer finding the best attributes to define elements for a given app as they can just use the same attributes for all. Another possibility is if you can click on an element and then use a 'Format Painter' to then select all the same attributes on other elements. This could be an even better solution as then you can have a preferred set of attributes for the different spying modes.
