It would be really useful if the date/time since when the resource is idle, is shown next to the name. Maybe something like the image attached Recently we came to know that a bot is idle for a long time but the controller didnt get to know about it. Regards,

It would be helpful to be able to see the Calendar view of the Scheduler by a particular worker or workers. Currently, it doesn't appear that there is any way adjust the settings to easily identify which workers have availability.

Add option to set breakpoint on all Exception & Recover stages. This option can really come in handy when the user wants to set a breakpoint on all Exceptions/Recover stages. So if it fails anywhere it will stop there.

Instead of UI based installation, if we can install BluePrism via PowerShell commands with valid parameters, it would be helpful for IT team to schedule the automated installation for newly onboard person to team or during the version migration.
For the larger scale team it will be very useful.

I think the control room should be re-designed completely so that it loads only a specific process or specific session that the user wants to run. At my organization, it takes a lot of time to load the control room. All I need is to run a single process and it takes at least 2-3 mins to load everything. These filters are great and every developer knows how to filter them.

Some objects that are created in or exported from Blue Prism 6.9 cannot be imported into Blue Prism 6.8. Cause/Way to reproduce:
Create a new Web-based object (such as for Chrome).
Drop a Navigate stage onto the action/page.
In the Navigate stage, choose the root node and select the dropdown action 'Terminate'.
Save and export the object.
Before importing into 6.8, rename the file from .bpobject to .xml so that 6.8 can see it.
Attempt to import into 6.8. An import error will occur saying 'AMI did not recognise the action type 'WebCloseApplication'. This occurs at least for Terminate, Hover (which wasn't available in 6.8 so it makes sense), and Get HTML.
Workaround: Delete Navigate stages or change the action inside to something else temporarily. Then once imported into 6.8, choose actions that are equivalent. Suggested fix: I don't know if there's a way to fix this since it's an issue with an older version or versions. So, maybe provide a converter to clean up XML files exported from 6.9 that will change ID names of actions to what 6.8 and earlier would expect.

In addition to the idea to group and filter environment variables the multi team approach should also be applied here with having access rights on (groups of) environment variables

The 'Web API Services' setting allows for specification of custom headers for a REST call. Being able to do this in the 'SOAP Web Services' setting would be very helpful for our use case as we use custom headers to call all web services through Datapower. As of right now, we need to create custom VB code to call SOAP services with custom headers. This would save a large amount of development time on our end to use Blue Prism's built in web service capability.

We have the option to delete worked items from the Blue prism control room. When clicked it does not ask for confirmation and due to this many times, I tend to delete items while doing force retry. Can we add a pop-up window asking for confirmation to delete selected items from the work queue? Even we can add this checkbox in settings to have this confirmation window activate or not.

Right now if you wish to publish a process, you have to open it and then have to double click on Info stage. After that you have to tick the checkbox " Publish to control room ". There can be submenu option provided in order to publish it without opening it. For ex- In the Process tree , right Click on any process and click publish

Right now, When adding DLLs to an object, you can either set your relative path to the dll and it will look for the file in the Blue Prism install folder, or you can specify a full path to a file. I would find it useful to be able to set a path in the database as a second place for Blue Prism to find these dlls and not require to place dlls directly into Blue Prism install directory. This will help keeping blue Prism install directory clean and easy to manage over time. Also it will not require enterprise environments to repackage and update a new version of Blue Prism to be sent out for every dll to be added for object usage..

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?

Its pretty common that we save our work as we build automations. Also once we get to a point we deploy the automation to Production for example we dont really need to retain very old versions. For example lets say this is now the 4th release of a process to production I will not need to retain the work done for version 1 and version 2 but would like to keep version 3. At the same time I would not want to keep all the work in between version 3 and version 4 once all testing has been completed and confirmed it works. What I would recommend is giving a function in Blue Prism, with role permissions to keep this limited, to be able to delete old saves of objects and Processes. As each one of these saves keeps the xml data of the entire object / process larger ones can become a problem with loading and impact overall performance of the Blue Prism system use for developers. For example imagine if we could delete everything in development for this process that was not highlighted:

When setting up a business object in the action stage, I want you to be able to open and close (+-) the tree structure of the pull-down for each group or object. It will be more likely to find the action. ===== ご担当者様 アクションステージのビジネスオブジェクトを設定するプルダウンのツリー構造を、項目ごとに開く閉じる(+-)ができるようにしていただきたいです。該当のアクションを探しやすくなります。

When viewing the processes running in the control room in the Management session, in the Environment panel when we want to see the Session variables of the running process to update the value of the variable, it would be very useful and fast if it allowed the option double-click on the variable and it will be enabled for value update.

I think there should be a community edition/Trial version of all product like decipher or interact to learn and dig into that product. That will help to learn the platform and will increase the interest of learning.

In the current specification, even if the following operations are performed from the process through the Interact Remote API, it is not displayed in the notification on Interact. edit submission field value move submission to any tab For example, even if the processing result of the process is reflected in the Interact form, the notification will not be displayed and the user will not be able to recognize it. So it is necessary to send notifications from the process via a different route than Interact, such as e-mail. In this case, interaction between users and processes cannot be completed only with Interact. If it is possible to display a notification even when the above operation is performed, or if it is possible to display an arbitrary notification at an arbitrary timing from the process through the Interact Remote API, I think "mutual cooperation between users and digital workers" will be more enhanced and be easier to implement. I would appreciate it if you could consider.
-----------------------------
現状の仕様では、プロセスからInteract Remote APIを通じて下記の操作を行っても、Interact上の通知には表示されない認識です。
・フォームの内容を更新
・フォームの格納フォルダを移動
例えばプロセスの処理結果をInteractフォームに反映しても、通知が表示されずユーザに認識してもらえないため、プロセスからメール等Interactとは別の経路で通知を送る必要があります。これではユーザ⇔プロセス間のやりとりをInteractのみで完結することができません。
上記の操作を行った場合も通知を表示する仕様とするか、もしくはプロセスからInteract Remote APIを通じて、任意のタイミングで任意の通知を表示させることができれば、「ユーザとデジタルワーカーの相互連携」がより実現しやすくなるのではないでしょうか。
ご検討をお願いします。

The Inbox allows users to sort / filter on various fields, however, as soon as the user navigates away from the Inbox then any applied filters etc. are reset. It would improve the user's experience if these settings could be saved / stored. For example, a user may change the number of rows displayed from the default 5 to 25, sort by oldest to newest and then filter for a certain form / key value but this is then reset as soon as they open a form.

Hello All, as we might have faced challenges in having 100% availabilities of RPA Support/Controllers on numerous occasions either when we are out of office, after office hours or are on short staffs some days - it would be a nice idea to have an iOS/Android based mobile app for minimal activities such as force retry, restarting a bot, running any particular ad-hoc processes at times, Also to ensure our businesses are supported at their time, when we are working globally on different timezone and are keen on achieving the idea of effective automation and optimised license utilisation.
It should make controllers/Support Team lives easy. Kindly Thumbs up and support the idea If you agree to this Idea of having Mobile based app for control room or you have been in similar situation at your workplace and during BAU at odd hours.
Regards

With the ever expanding mess we call Releases having no search facilities, finding your stuff in the growing list does not become easier over time. Can we have search capabilities on the Releases panel. Something similar to what we have in Studio (BP version 6.10.5) would do nicely. Happy coding! --------------- Paul Sweden
