UI Integration/Messaging Marshalling API – We have created several UI customizations for our AWD instance.  It is difficult to allow custom UI components interact with other native AWD UI components.  For example, I’d like to add a javascript on my form, that with the click of a button, will execute a search and bring up results on the search results panel.  A UI API would allow our customizations to interact seamlessly with native AWD, and give a better process experience.  It would also plot a path forward for UI customization stability during upgrades. ...

Ability to code users for primary queue. Work can be same Unitcd/worktype but across multiple queues. IF user coded for: Unitcd = fundco Worktype = purchase Queue = processing and quality Currently user would then get the work based on FIFO or priorities. But there should be a way to get and finish all the work in the Processing queue first and then Quality.  Without having to code and recode at user or role level ... View more

Rules Integration – I would like to see a toolset, like Drools, embedded into the AWD UI. I would like to define “Rule Automation Services” that invoke those rules. It should all be integrated into the user experience, and give the appearance that AWD process development implements the ability to administrate complex rules. ... View more

The Rule Automation Services should be able to be modified outside the processes that consume them, just like automation services.  Perhaps this would be administrated separately from process administration. ... View more

Automated Workflow-to-Process Conversion – We literally have several thousand workflows that have been built over time. It will take forever to go through business process modernization initiatives to rewrite or replace these, and therefore it will take a long time until these business processes can benefit from the AWD Process automation capabilities. Sure there are Interop Services, but it will become unwieldy to manage full automation through this capability. What I would like to see is a tool that works something like this: 1. Select a BA/WT 2. Automatically reverse engineer all the status routing steps and UIs 3. Select a target BA/WT 4. Auto draw a process that depicts the original workflow (yes, I know there are hurdles and things to deal with here, but I have some suggestions) 5. Allow the admin to deploy the new process a. Optional – Inherit Permissions form the original workflow b. Replace BA/WT/STAT fields and Update button with Next Step ... View more

Currently we have a custom code applicated that was created with AWD Toolkit to allow a bulk number of work items to be moved to a different business area/work type/status/queue combination upon request. As part of this custom code application, we also add a comment stating who requested the items be moved and the corresponding ticket number so that each work item has a history line stating why it was systematically moved. This is information that is verified during our audits. While AWD Portal has the Process Monitor to bulk move items, it does not have the ability to add comments. Our request is to add an optional comment field so that when items are moved comments can be applied. ... View more

Need the ability to tell if a button on the form has already been configured with a connection to something.  Right now, if you click on the wrench on a line, it includes all options except the one that it is configured for.  It is very confusing to not know if all options have been accounted for.  We would like the wrench to show only the options that are left to be connected.  This means if I have 5 options and I’ve connected 3 of them, I want a line to only show the 2 that are left so I know how many more connections I need to build. ...

Viruses and malware continue to affect documents entering Chorus.  Almost half of all viruses world-wide are through Word and Excel documents, which are heavily used by our customers as objects. We need a cloud-based solution (so it can be updated regularly as new viruses or malware are created) that checks all work objects prior to attachment.  Areas that could be affected (not an exhausted list) include: File upload Capture methodologies (fax/scan/RIP/public links) Email in/out (EQM) The solution needs to scan the documents and store any document found to include a virus or malware and then notify someone (as determined by the client via admin) that a document has been found to contain a virus.  Additionally a screen needs to show any details about the document (origin, where uploaded, who uploaded, etc.) that can be accessed by a client for follow-up with the originator of the document. ...

This currently takes us much longer to do development than what would be the norm.  Data Source names to be sorted, especially when you have maybe 80-100 variables to be mapped. Please reference screen shots below for specific example from T. Rowe Price. For the example “RDS NONFINANCL Process” There are 4 PF flows that are used to set variables and pass as input into automated Service to generate a letter: PF RDS NONFINANCL - Core Processing Step PF RDS NONFINANCL - Complex Processing Step PF RDS NONFINANCL - InfoBack Processing Step PF RDS NONFINANCL - InfoBack Complex Processing Step   Focus on “Core Processing Step” for now as this module sets a variety of variables, based on the letter type selected and entered by the business.  These variables will be passed to an automated service used to generate a communications letter.   Here is a screen shot of the Data Name output variables being passed from ‘PF RDS NONFINANCL – Core Processing Step’    ...

some findings on how task order is defined by BP can be found in my comment below In BP client Control tab, Schedules are ordered by their names and tasks according to their creation. Schedules can be arranged by structured names. The order of Tasks is defined by when they have been created that makes organizing Schedules unnecessary difficult over time. eg: Schedule: (numbers show the logical order) - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (3.) Now when adding a second process to be executed after the existing one it would look like: Schedule: - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (4.) - Process2 (3.) It would be better to order the Tasks by their names so order can be easily amended as needed by prefixes in their names. ... View more

Capture Creates a lot of value for creation of new PDDs and Digital workers, but how about the already delivered solution? Running a large-scale (now 5 Y old) CoE come with some documentational challenges. What if there was a "plugin" which was activated to create a PDD. Using a combination of the BP process logic and screenshots and magically created "PDD" like output. Which could be used to actually see what the robot is doing - all to avoid the problem of outdated PDD.  ... View more

We would like the ability dynamically call a process by providing the process name as an input variable.  We have a process that flows to several different subprocesses depending on the value of a variable.  We are using a switch to examine the variable and then navigate to the subprocess.  Ideally we would like to be able to do this by just using the value of variable which would be the same as the subprocess name. ...

question Is it possible for Blue Prism to support screen reader software used by visually impaired software engineers? Background of the question A visually impaired software engineer uses screen reader software for Windows application programs. * 1 "JAWS" supports web accessibility. * 2 Currently, Blue Prism does not support screen reader software, so software engineers with visual impairments are developing by creating a program in XML and importing it into Blue Prism. Even if they can code, it is difficult to debug with the UI of Blue Prism. * 1 The screen reader software uses the Japanese version of "JAWS". Please refer to the URL below as there are differences between the English version and the Japanese version. English version http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Japanese version http://www.extra.co.jp/jaws/index.html * 2 WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is defined in W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). request We are using version 6.x of Blue Prism. We plan to move to version 7.x in the near future. Is it possible to make the UI of Blue Prism compatible with "JAWS"? To be more specific, We hope that the Blue Prism UI (CSS & HTML) will be created based on the "WCAG" guidelines. ... View more

Hi Team, I would suggest, Blue Prism should work on scheduler part. Suppose - if we have around 15 to 16 processes in scheduler - User need to check one by one which process will process next on completion of current process and it is taking time and confusion as well. Blue Prism should work on task for Auto Arranging the processes - sequence wise It can provide more efficiency for controllers and support engineers who are handling the control room. Suppose Right now, I have scheduler and it looks like below. 1)Login - Starting with this process. 2)P0 - Process on completion of Login 3)P2 - Process on completion of P1 4)P1 - Process on completion of P0 5)Logout - On completion of P2 Blue Prism should Auto Arrange the processes as per completion sequence  and It should be like below. 1)Login 2)P0 3)P1 4)P2 5)Logout - I hope this idea can helps. -With Best Regards, Malak Dudhia ...

In Interact 4.2 there is not possible to define Form Rules which are dependent on fields which are defined on various pages. Only fields on a particular page can be used for Form Rules definition. This is quite limiting if we want to split long forms into multiple pages and define fields on page 2 (or 3 or 5) based on fields which values are entered on page 1. ... View more

The idea is to have a Data Item exposure such that we can store and update that variable across sessions - its more like an environment variable but to which we can make updates too. This will help us in storing variables across sessions like flags, data which requires the value from the other session run that currently has to be stored in externally like in excel, notepads, etc. ...
