When you are running several resources I find that I would want to add a comment in resource management that can show up in control room. Great way to comment on which resources are installed with which software, for example. Grouping can provide some of this, but sometimes you would need further information on which resource is meant to do what. If having < resources and this can be a small issue, but with 10+, especially if your IT sets up machines with random names that can not be altered, this can start off being an issue. ... View more

The font readability is currently bad in some of the Process/Object Studio UI elements, for example due to kerning issues. The changed zoom functionality in 6.8 has also made it more difficult to develop. Now that the font scales with zoom, everything below 75% zoom makes the elements unreadable, so development has to be done with 100% zoom, which makes it harder to get an overview of the process. Allowing for better customization of the fonts on user/system level and disabling font scaling below 100 % zoom would enable smoother development. ... View more

Web services provided by other systems can be integrated as actions to Blue Prism. This integration provides status code and return values... but only when the request was successful. In case the request fails no information is available but exception details only. Information such as status code has to be parsed manually from the exception details text. The idea is to not raise a critical exception when the request fails but utilize the existing action return values (status code, message, ...) to pass through the information coming from the web service. An option is to add a flag similar to what is available in File Management VBO that either have an exception raised or 'ignores' the error and provides the structures response of the service provider ...

It will be great to add a feature for Browsers to read the "Item Value"(DOM Value) of the selected item in an HTML combo box?   Please find the example below: I want to read the Item value(DOM Value) which is "/m/02gsvk". This will help in many scenarios where value remains same and the selected text changes according to the local language setting of the site. ... View more

A Quality of Life suggestion. Take, for example, the humble 'Item Data' collection, after getting an item from the queue. There could be any number of fields in this collection that will be referred to constantly throughout the rest of the process. Each time you need to refer to one of them, you have to type [Item Data.Field Name], being very careful with your typing. It would be much simpler to instead co-opt the fields that are returned from the queue and have them going forward as pre-defined fields that you can click on via the expression editor. ...

I observed that the Click Action in Navigate stage doesn't works after spying any element(Like Button) in Browser mode in Blue Prism V6.9.0. The Spying works perfectly all the time, Even the verify action in Navigate stage also highlights the element perfectly at Run time but when executing the click action, it seems like clicking at the top left corner of the screen in that particular application. Please check for this possibility in current and upcoming versions.   ... View more

Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it. When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool: Page: ABC Stage: XYZ Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff Repairable: No The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties. Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history. Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows: - When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one - When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one This has been tested on the following versions: 6.4.2 6.4.4 6.8.0 ...

Good morning, guys, I hope you're all right. So... Recently I've been talking to some colleagues and we discussed how Golive is done today from automationin productions, we exchanged some ideas and arrived in CICD, So we had the idea why the blueprism doesn't have a native, configurable CICD? This would certainly help in the day-to-day operation and would give more robustness to the tool ... View more

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:  ... View more

Hello, Time to time VM resources and servers needs time for maintenance breaks. This can happen in scheduled (like once a month) or ad-hoc manner.  It would be time-saving feature that you can schedule a maintenance breaks by resource / by pool.  Why? - Currently every schedule needs to be expired manually and they need to put back when the maintenance break is over. - Normally these SQL server/ App-server maintenance breaks happens in night-time and they last from 1h up to 4h.  - At environments, where are dozens or hundreds of schedules, this is taunting task to do on monthly basis.  - By marking "maintenance break" for certain time slot -> Schedules do not try to start on that time interval. It will save manual work + night time runs will start after the marked maintenance breaks time slot is passed.  - Process controller does not need to remember put the schedules back on next day. ...

Currently tasks only provide the status: completed / failed that can be used in Schedules to control the process flow. Branching the execution path can only be achieved by creating artificial termination / fail status.  It would be nice if the Scheduler can fetch the process return value (output variable) and then apply simple comparison. ...

No Doubt that Blueprism has the best-unattended automation capabilities, but it would be better if we can make running the attended bots easier- a simple console from where one can run their bots seamlessly. I believe this would be helpful and add more fun for process SMEs (Non-technical) running their bots. ... View more

It would be absolutely great if we could have dynamic references in inputs and outputs for actions and functions. Basically if we can use a calculation to create a dynamic reference for a collection field for example. That way we could automatize dynamic collections. Example: instead of having the input as a static reference eg. [Collection.Field1] we can use a calculation to change that dynamically, for example increase it and loop eg. [Collection.Field] ...

Hi Team , As documentation is a important part of every process journey . Documents like Technical Design , Solution design or Object design mostly contains information which we we are filling in our Blue prism database or is already a part of our .bprelease file(which is indirectly a xaml file).  We can make this automated VBO which which can create a skeleton for us containing information like - Release Details All Process All Objects Credentials Work Queue Environment Variable System Exception Business Exception Description of Processes and Object Published Process and many others like this , which can be again looked and corrected by developers if needed . This skeleton(draft) of files using this VBO will save a hell lot of time for any developer. ... View more

Hi Team, The Problem: Our team maintain ODI for particular processes and a global ODI for all processes. However we face challenge updating these documents as developer spend time on development and testing the automations. As a result these documents are not always up to date and sometimes cause issues with duplicity of objects being developed. The Idea: I would like to request an ODI tab where we can go and see all the objects that are developed for an given application. This will allow us to actively reuse these already developed objects. For this to work we should ask for application name while developing the modeler. So that all the objects are grouped under the same application on the ODI tab, further it should be easy to check the actions and their input output for each tab along with their description. Do let me know if you have doubts or any other solution that can help us. Thanks ... View more
