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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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 ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

Spy modes needs to improve for browser automation also a tree structure should appear for these as well. After spying any element we are getting set of attributes. But we don't know about lot of attributes how and where to use. But in other way way it may be more helpful if we can get guide for that. It may make our automation easier. For Example we can use real X path in Browser automation but it's nowhere mentioned. At the same time it can make easy for th all the automation. Also I found some useful options are not available in chrome automation (Browser mode), which is very helpful. At the same time all the options are available in HTML mode. Please let me know if these features will appear n near future or if it is not there is there any specific reason. Attached files have all the description with image. Issue occurs is all the versions (6.3.1-6.7.1) ... View more

In order to be compliant with GDPR we need to delete personal data in the Blue Prism database after a given time. But, we want to keep the queue item itself for statistical use in our benefit realization model.  As of now, my understanding is that you can't change the data in an item without locking the item. And you can't lock items that are marked as completed/exception.  It would be nice if there was a built in function that let us update/delete the data field in a completed/exception work queue item so that we don't need to use SQL on the database or delete the queue item completely using the internal work queue object. ...

To workaround a slower interaction with a Web Application in Blue Prism we have had to use Java Script injection. We would like and enhancement in BluePRism to be able to retrieve function execution return values, or code injection return values as outputs within an object. Currently, you can only put the code “in”, and not get anything back out from a webpage, it would be useful without a workaround, if there was some functionality implemented for this. See details from dev team: As we are trying to interact with elements on a webpage which will return values, such as the contents of the ‘innerHTML’ values of a field, the only current way to do this effectively is to do:   <element>.select(); Then sending a global “<{CTRL}C>{CTRL}”, and then extracting the value from the clipboard.   As this is not always 100% reliable, what it would be good to be able to do, is when invoking a method In JS, to be able to get the return values, so being able to inject a method such as:                   Function getText()                                 Var x = <selector>.innerHTML                                 if ( x  === “”) {                                                 return “Blank Value”                                 } else {                                                 return x                                 }   And being able to have x stored in a data variable that is output from the webpage directly into Blue Prism. As it’s possible to invoke the method / inject the javascript into the page, surely it must be possible to get a return value just as easily? ... View more

There are some busy applications (specifically in websites) where it takes a few seconds to find the field.  When you use a wait for stage, this time is then doubled.  If I say wait for Field X, Field X appears,it takes 3 seconds to find Field X and move to the next stage.  Then I say click field X: it searches for it for 3 seconds again, finds it, and clicks it. It feels that after a wait stage it should cache the location (even if it's just for the next stage).  Even better it could see if any other action in the object page is going to that item and wait I like to think of this similar to a Librarian with a card catalog ; Customer: Do you have this book? *Librarian searches catalog and finds item* Librarian: Yes we do *Librarian closes card catalog* Customer: Where is it? *Librarian searches catalog and finds item* Librarian: Mystery section under Adams ...
