When running a process from Design Studio, an application window typically opens on top of Blue Prism. It would be great if the Blue Prism icon on the taskbar could be a different color if it's running so we don't have to keep mousing over it or clicking it to see if the process is still running, paused, frozen, etc. Having to click or mouse over Blue Prism can potentially cause issues with the other open windows, so being able to tell the status at a glance would be helpful.

Currently, we have several clients who use Hub to monitor and view the performance of the digital workers in their environment. Typically different access levels are set for business users and the IT teams, with the IT team typically being able to access the Blue Prism application. Today, when a business user notices that there is an item that has gone into an exception state, and they know that it can be retried at a slightly later date, they have to go through a notification process to let someone who has access to the Blue Prism application know which item they need to right click and force retry within the Control Room. If this functionality existed within Hub it would make it considerably more streamlined for users monitoring the solutions.

Can we give a feature to clone a particular completed queue item as once the item is completed there is approx no way we can retry\clone it from control room from the same data . We do can retry any exception item which is perfect but it will be great if we can clone our completed item in Control room itself as it can be a great help while testing !

Can definitely say its very frustrating when stepping through a project and you accidentally click step out because it is RIGHT beside it. would really like a 'debug mode' or some feature when the functions can be suspended so they don't get clicked accidentally. it's so frustratingly easy to misclick those buttons

Could Blue Prism create APIs or AutomateC command line functionality allowing registering & unregistering + retiring & unretiring of runtime resources (VDIs) directly in BP DB.
These would help us work more efficiently with runtime resources while operating with non-persistent cloud VDIs whilst using them as BluePrism robots.

Currently I can do a selector such as this $.[?(@.drawerName == 'Clients')].drawerID to get just the drawerID with the name of Clients. If I could instead replace Clients with a defined parameter for the API I could run the endpoint and more dynamically return the needed value without having to parse the output later.
All this lacks is the ability to make use of what's already there.

Enhance data transformation/ETL (extract/transform/load) capabilities in Blue Prism. Users are currently limited by collection limits, out of memory exceptions and inefficient loops when working with large data sets. A drag and drop transformation tool would be extremely beneficial, users are reluctant to use Blue Prism for data transformation due to limited capabilities currently offered.

As service now is a common integration used by every company can we instead create a generic VBO for achieving the same . I do see the below activities can be included for the same. Native ability to manage (Create, Get, Update, Delete) ServiceNow objects, perform bulk insert/update operations, and manage attachments.
· Get ServiceNow Record
· Insert ServiceNow Record
· Update ServiceNow Record
· Delete ServiceNow Record
· Search ServiceNow Records
Attachments
· Add Attachment
· Download Attachment
· Delete Attachment

I believe that we could have registered in the bank of each event in which the resource / process entered notice when executing, this is just before the execution time. Storing this information can provide important insights for decision making.

It should be nice that a Runtime Resource block any attemp for a new connection WHEN during a schedule execution. What I see in many cases, there is GAP between a process and another in a schedule. This GAP between process in a schedule allows to any other process to run in a runtime resource when this is being used by a schedule. A schedule process can FAIL or stay in PENDING state if there is another season created in the runtime resource. In many cases the PENDING state is never executed.

I would like to see some tools included in blue Prism to enable and facilitate procedural code reviews. Code reviews are an essential part of most development work and in the traditional software development world there are a multitude of tools to help people review each others code to spot bugs or suggest improvements. The majority of these tools can be used for text-based code regardless of language but do not allow for use with low-code development products such as RPA platforms. This is doubly an issue with Blue Prism as a lot of tools work through integration with source control systems such as GIT and SVN. As Blue Prism does its own version control, this precludes the use of even those parts of the code review mechanism. So, it would be good to either see a way of integrating one or more of these solutions with Blue prism, or providing tools within Blue Prism to allow for this. That would include things such as :
Notifications to predefined users on changes to business objects or processes.
Options to enforce (or not) review and sign-off on changes before code can be published or promoted to production
Commenting tools (and not just the note block) which allow for actions such as @mentions to other users, replies and closing of comment threads
Identification or tagging of issues that are critical vs comments that are for info only
etc...
There are far more features that could be included along the lines of those included in traditional development code review packages or even along the lines of the review tools found in Word

Active Directory database conversion is useful for credentialing users that are not all tied to the same domain, but can make maintenance a pain. The fact that it is not reversible OOTB means to manually revert you will need to perform the following: 1) (have a db backup from before the conversion) 2) Export all changed components since the backup 3) Restore the DB from backup made in (1) 4) Import the components exported in (2) 5) Reconfigure AD groups/roles as needed An enhancement to the tool would remember AD group/role assignments, and allow re-mapping of AD groups to those roles in the event a reversion is desired. A list and prompt on what to do with unmapped Users could help determine if ready to revert.

Hi, In the v6.8 of Blue Prism we've noticed that Environment Variables of the Flag Data Type are auto-selected to True when highlighted even though the Current Value is False. This is also the case for the Evaluate Expression functionality within Studio. When using Evaluate Expression on Flag Data Items they are always set to True regardless if the Current Value is False. We'd much rather see that the Current Value is used in these type of scenarios. We haven't encountered the same case anywhere else but for Environment Variables and Evaluate Expression. Hope the change can be reverted in future updates. Thank you! Kind Regards, Joakim

It would be helpful to have a button of Copying the evaluated text to clipboard . Sometimes we want to copy the evaluated expression and paste it in some different screen. ( pic attached )

Blue Prism client: System, User Roles: Add role control point (new checkbox) to be able to “View” credentials. Today checking the credential box in the role gives full access. It would also be nice to also have another role control point (new checkbox) to be able to change the name and password only (but not change the Access Rights). Note: this control point does not need (but could) to be able to change the UserId.
