Sometimes it is useful to use the numbers 1 and 0 instead of True and False. For example, one just needs to add up all variables to know how many are set True. Sadly, a direct convertion of the data formats is not supported by Blue Prism. The calculation 'ToNumber(True)' creates an error. Doing it by hand would be possible, but time consuming and could probably be implemented in a faster way. In this context, the implementation of the signum function sgn(.) would be handy too.

In processes with several pages , you might not recall which page is calling which page and whats the flow of Process. Especially if you have to work on enhancing a Process which was initially built by different team. There should be an option provided to show at a glance the flow of process i.e what is the flow in which the pages would be executed starting from Main Page. I have tried to create a indicative solution using a mindmap

When hovering a Stage, some of its properties are shown. At the moment they are: Name, Expression Description. Quite a strange order as the Stage properties window shows Name, Description and then Expression. Can the order of the hover information be the same as in the properties?

The In parameters on a Page are defined on the Start stage, the Out parameters are defined on the End stage - no surprises here. On the actual Page call properties, where the Page is called, the parameters are split in an In and an Out tab, making it hard to get an instant overview of what goes in and what comes out. Wouldn't it be nice if the Page call properties would show all In and Out parameters on one tab? (...obviously mentioning what way each parameter goes...)

If a Collection is a Single Row Collection, a grey dot shows on the Data Item - very handy indeed! Unfortunately, it does not show if a Collection is has defined fields or not - this only shows when opening its properties. Find a way to make it visible on the Data Item if a Collection has defined fields or not.

In Studio, you have to open a Process or Object in View or Edit mode to check what Pages it contains. In many cases it would be very nice to be able to see a list of Pages without first having to open the Process or Object in View or Edit mode. Add a Right-Click option on Processes and Objects in Studio that shows a list of Pages the thing contains.

When sharing the BP database within a large company, the number of processes and objects and the group folder they're save on might grow very long. Finding the process or object you're working on might require a number of clicks.
This behavior is not helped by the fact that the Studio panel groups are collapsed again every time you visited another panel such as the Control Room. 1. Don't collapse groups in Studio once opened, leave them expanded even when returning to Studio when other panels are visited. 2. Create the possibility to mark my projects so I can find them easily by a single click. See MS Visual Studio or open source Eclipse how it is done there. I reckon both these options would be nice to have in Control Room also...

When viewing a process or object, you cannot search it as the 'Find Text' box is locked and greyed out. This leaves opening the process or object in Edit mode as the only option to search it - not ideal as you'll also lock it that way and run the risk of changing it.
Allow for searching a process or object when in View mode.

When jumping from page to page, you can only go back one level by using the 'Back to page Reference' option under Right-Click.
Add a 'Back' button in style with an Internet Browser that'll take you back where you came from.

Can we give a "Only visible if" functionality to process start up parameters. Say for an example i have 6 startup parameters for a process, but when i run this process from control room i can only see 3 of them and other's are only visible if i set the 2nd parameter to TRUE or so . This can be perfect thing so that we can only show the mandatory and the most obvious used ones to the control room team or the developers.

When we see a control panel , we see two panes of "Available Resources" and "Process Names" . There is no way to find out what is the run mode of that process by looking at the control panel. In the "Available Processes" pane can we also add a column of "Exposed Run mode" with description and process name . It will ease much of our time as now while running only we know what is the exposed mode of that process . No need of going to check the objects and process manually . One now have full idea about how many and what processes he\she can run on a VDI on control pane is now showing run modes also .

Hi Team, I see that there is a bug in our current BP license file , which should be fixed on priority. When we see a license file say dated (oct2018- feb2019) one can still use those license files by changing the date of there machine and then blue prism works as normal which should not be a ideal case! Can we make this resolved !

In Excel VBO a slight change would allow the application of password to workbooks, when saving them. Currently a pwd can only be used, if the original file contains one already. Module: Save Workbook As 1. Add as new input parameter in the Start stage: i_pw_WbkPwd 2. Add the same in the code stage as input parameter PWD 3. In the code of the code stage change: wb.saveas(filename) to wb.saveas(filename,,PWD) That's it... Kind Regards Martin Reuter PS: this would mean that we can use the standard version and do not have to customize it for ourselves... Thank you.

There is a Refresh Button in control room but hidden inside a menu bar. There are no other options and only refresh button is there. So we can have Refresh button directly sitting on home page of control room, instead of putting it inside menu bar. This thing makes no sense. I think this should be immediately resolved.

Currently when Blue Prism DB is created via command line it is not possible to specify authentication type (SSO, named users, mixed) and mixed more is assumed automatically, which might not be what is needed or even working. There is also a huge difference between pure SSO authentication in Blue Prism and mixed mode, where authentication is delegated to SQL DB. This needs additional user management (AD + SQL Server), which is not even possible for us because of clearly defined user create & management processes, responsibilities and effort allocation.

It would be great to have an option to sort all the packages created by date. Over a long duration there are many packages created , and in the absence of a type and search option it becomes cumbersome to find the required package

Hello and thank you for your attention. At my company, "import" is not allowed. We need to convert BP 6.8 pages to BP 6.0 without using Import tool. I know when you copy a page, it's actually a .xlm file, as below shows.
And when this same simple Page is done in BP 6.8 or 6.0, there are some synthax differences.
BP 6.8 syntax vs BP 6.0 syntax
For example, "displayX, dirsplayY and displayZ" from BP 6.0 are equivalent to "display x, display Y, display Z" in BP 6.8.
This messes up when copying BP 6.8 stages to BP 6.0, the stages are transferred correctly linked, but coordinates are messed.
Example copied from BP 6.8
Copied to BP 6.0
Would it be possible to please have a tool to convert syntax? I know IMPORT and EXPORT tools already might do this, but, as I said, they are not allowed at my site. Thank you very much for your help in this question. Regards Eduardo

Currently in BP, we have given access to credential manager for all developers, this will allow every developer to allow and modify all the credentials. we need a mechanism to restrict the specific credentials to specific users to overcome this issue.

We are not able to split Credentials into small groups. Grouping function for Credentials as with grouping functions of Processes/Objects, Queues, and Resources would be useful so much if there are lots of Credentials.

Some time we need to take release from upper version(6.8) and import it in lower version (6.5). At this time everything mess up after importing due to XML format change. There should be an option for version choosing when we will take the Release.
